    325076

    On the left is the SAECO 453, middle is a 250 RNFP and far right is a 250 WC. This summer I hope to get a chance to test the middle and right boolits. Can they unseat the 453 or 452423? ...

    I have not measured all of my ACP revolvers. I might get to it some day. The GB 453423 and the SAECO 453 both have a long bearing surface which I prefer in the S&W ACP rifling. I don’t cast them...

    At this time, Curt has a two year wait and is not accepting new orders until he is caught up. Not sure what will happen then. He is keeping those cards close to his vest.

    I am not aware of a match that allows you to clean the rifle on the firing line? Cleaning is done off line. A wiping rod is permitted in some BP matches, but that is different from cleaning, isn’t...

    For some reason I thought the rifles in question were the Springfield Single Shot Rifle and a rolling block. I might be in a different thread.

    The variance was most notable in the Model 25-5, 45 long Colt. Some oversized throats were also found in some Model 25-2s but a lot of that is also the echo chamber we call the internet. I currently...

    No idea. I squeezed off six shots. The ammunition was the SAECO 453 boolit, sized .454 over a hardball dose of Bullseye. The target was a 5 gallon pail lid at about 80 yards, braced offhand. The...
