I have a friend who shoots a Beretta 96FS in .40 S&W. Everything has been fine until today when a couple of his reloads created a "bad day." While using a 170 gr. SWC (lead boolit) over 6 to 6.5...

I use the RCBS 350 gr. gas check in my 1895 Win. recent production. The barrel slugs .412 so they are sized .414. I load with 47.0 grains of RL-7 for about 2150 fps. Boy, does it hit hard....

I had the same question when I started the Cap-n-Ball thing in Cowboy Action Shooting. I used a Lyman single cavity, hollow base mold numbered 45468. I lubed and sized to .450 and...

As I understand it Mumbly, we are to consider the New Vaquero on a par with the third generation Colt Peacemaker. It ain't no Blackhawk, but it wasn't intended to be.

Had exactly the same infurating problem with mine. Wonderful pistol but what a pain in the *ss. I was ready to throw it into the river. Solution: send it back to Ruger, it did. Now it is...

The 405 Win. in a 1895 is a wonderful combination. I have one of the newer Winchesters and take it with me when ever I go into the mountains in NW Wyoming. Around here I ain't at the...

Paborn,

Thanks for putting this project together. I've been a big fan of large bore bolt guns for some time. However, since I shoot left handed I'm limited to Ruger #1's. I have one of those...

Thanks Max. I have discussed this gun with locals here in Cody,Wy and they have given me about the same info. and advice. Except for the tang site it looks exactly like your photo. Steve Garbe...

Thanks Calaloo. I was beginning to wonder about the so called experts on this forum. Rather than get on my soapbox I'll let it go.

I posted this over at Black Powder Cartridge and got no interest. Let me try it here. I have a Ballard No.2 in what appears to be .44-40. It has a forged receiver, shootable bore, and a late...

Have not shot this bullet but have gotten 1901 fps. with a 510 gr. gc. I have also shot a 710 gr. gc. with 53gr. of IMR 4895 for 1590 fps. Lots of recoil but very accurate. Best load with the 510...

What do you all think of rechambering a Ballard No. 2 from (what appears to be) .44-40 to Ballard 44 Long or Ballard 44 Extra Long. Anyone have experience with either of these two cartridges? ...

Greetings all,

Just got some beautiful Keith style 275 gr. cb's for my S&W 24. I'm hoping to load them for trips into the mountains here where I am not at the top of the food chain, if you know...

Thanks guys for the response. I was beginning to thinl I was the only one interested in that great cartridge.

The twist is 1 in 10 and shoots the Horn. 250 RN very well. I have a friend with the...

An important point missed so far in this discussion is the 600 yd. shot was made with a "Keith Style" boolit. Not a RN or a WFN. I have a feeling that Brian is trying to make this fact known to us...

This is a cartridge I really like and have access to 300 grain gc's. Anyone have any experience with something like this.
