I might add, that if this .44 shoots well, I may just sell my older 336s in 30/30 and .35 to someone who likes the "JM" mark and replace them with "Ruglins".

I just got a 44 mag. this morning. Academy had one in stock for $999. 1/20" twist, conventional rifling, and it slugged out at .4296". I won't be able to shoot it for a couple of days, but it will...
I got my first 44 magnum when I was 18. I shot tons of full charge loads through it and other 44s I acquired over the years. Now at 65 the doc says I have no cartilage left in my wrist, but I do...
This. Some one might want to try HBWCs of different manufacture. Maybe there might be a difference. A test like this would be interesting.
Is there any documented use of backward HBWCs in real...
Corbett's best known rifles are a 450/400 that IIRC wound up in Elmer Keith's collection and a .275 (7X57) that is now owned by Rigby. I once got to see and handle the latter. It was very well...
I currently own just the NOE version. On my last Lyman, the leading edge of the front driving band was radiused. The NOE looks very similar to the pictures I have seen of the original. It does...

This would be good, provided they would go off every time. Quality of Winchester RF ammunition is not good.

Winchester might ought to improve the rimfire products they currently sell. I have had problems with their 22LR stuff for a while.
That new cartridge will be expensive, especially when some won't...

Speer and Hodgdon also have WSF loads for the 32 H&R. I have been using it in that caliber as well as 9mm

We now have two AR-15s, both mainly purchased because our leaders don't want us to have them. We have changed some of the furniture and both (S&W and PSA) shoot very well with the old load I have...
I have a 1903 and a Walther PP. The Colt goes to the filling station with me on occasion, just in case Clyde Barrow shows up to rob the place while I'm buying gas...
I use either Bullseye with the NOE 45 gr. WFN plain based version or H4198 with either the old Bator bullet or the NOE 45 gr. WFN GC version
I have shot a lot of these (uncoated) with 5.0 gr. Bullseye at 1.20" OAL. I have shot these through a Kimber Classic, a SIG 220, and a Ruger Blackhawk. Very good shooting bullet but if cast from...
I have had one of the Browning 1895s in 30/40 for literally decades. With cast from 168 to 210grains it really likes 2400.

I have shot 300-400 from my LCP sized .357" with 2.9 gr, HP-38
I have been just wondering about the PSA Dagger. A friend has one and the grip angle is (for me) better than a Glock. It has different rifling than a Glock so there shouldn't be any of the old...
The 358429 has always worked great in my old model 19. I keep the charges moderate as I do not want to wear out the K frame. 12.0 or 12.5 grains 2400 (crimped in the crimp groove and loaded in a...

I have had one mold I bought from Arsenal that was horrible about retaining bullets. I almost threw it away over the fence and forgot about it. Nothing worked. I remembered reading an old thread...

Amen to that ! I have a lot of magazines for the CZ75.
I have both the Single-6 in .32 H&R (4 5/8") and the Buckeye in 32/20 & 32H&R. The smaller gun is much handier and gets out in the field more often. I never use the H&R cylinder in the Buckeye but...

That's about dead on. I have run 3.5 gr. of HP-38 (same powder) with a 100 gr. FP out of a Ruger LCP and they average 902 fps out of the shorter barrel. FWIW, I have since backed down to 3.1 gr. as...
He does outstanding work. I have had 3 or 4 revolvers with the chamber throats smaller than the groove diameter. All of them shoot great now.

The little ones here aren't bad to eat. Most of the big ones you can smell 30 yds before you get to the carcass
