Very glad T/C is showing interest in getting things straight with you.

SCB's problem is so typical of the 17 mark II cartridge that I hesitate to add fuel to the fire. The barrels I...

SCB,
customer service doesn't work on guns, they answer phones. Your post is irrelevent.

Jon K,
In this particular caliber, one companies ammunition is brittle, T/C no longer uses that brand...

Larry Gibson and others,
S&W bought T/C about a year and a half ago. They have indeed laid off the people as pointed out in a previous post. However, I've heard their plant in Springfield hasn't...

Birdman, welcome to the fold.

You are dealing with one of the more troublesome calibers in the Encore platform. I don't know the group size you are getting or your expectations of the level of...

The max gap between barrel and frame is .004. The point of measurement on the frame being the firing pin housing. The under lug on the barrel will bend opening up the slot the locking bolts go into....

Awaiting payment instructions for one mold. Thank you John.

I would opt for the GC.

Ranch Dog,
I've had the same experience as others with the burner, leather old and wore out. Burner catches fire when fuel comes out the top of the pump and scares the daylights out of me. Once...

Jeff,
Some things come to mind I would like to share with you. I do hope the chambering reamer you used had a bearing guide on it rather than a solid guide which will put rather nice circular marks...

SuperMag,
Your description of the forward part of a T/C chamber as a leade is much more accurate than calling it a "throat". The chamber is a mirror image of the reamer used for the purpose. On some...

Scrounger,
I have Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 1A. Two CD's were included with the Northgate I purchased. Will this help?

Timberghozt, a big hello to you, sir. I shoot my later Micro groove 1895 with a bit heavier loads and found that a new Limb Saver recoil pad screwed on the butt in place of the factory one was...

I have used Blue Dot as the most accurate powder in a number of applications. In pistol cast bullets loads it is good from 9mm to 45 Colt, and in rifle cast loads it is useful starting with 22...

Thanks folks for sharing the pictures and the renditions of your outing. I find the history and the past activities of the area interesting reading. It brings forth a desire to have joined in your...

Ballard rifling in 38-55 did not work with any thing cast. Bought different molds,didn't work. Rebarreled by factory and if the present barrel was turned inside out, it would do a very nice...

Marlin 336 in 30-30 using Lyman's 311291 will shoot very close to 1inch at fifty yards, 5 shot group with the help of a 2X7 scope. Sized either to .308 or .310, don't seem to make a lot of...

7br,
In the RCBS manual the smallest caliber listed is the .222 and the data goes to bigger calibers from there. Checking the T/C Contender manual shows data from the Lyman manual which uses their...

As 1 Shirt said, in 1961 or 62 I bought 100 lbs. of the stuff in the round carboard drum. Cost me $50.

For five bucks and change I bought the Lyman gas check seater. It works well enough and I don't have to put up with sore fingers any longer. Put it in, seat the checks. Pull it out, you're ready to...

Bullshop,
Sometimes, if your really lucky, you can change the back ring to the front and front to back and effect better alignment of the scope. If that don't work a shim under one half of a base...

Jumptrap,
If I could add to your post, I'm shooting a 25-35 in a non-traditional gun. T/C Contender,15" bull barrel, 1 in 10 inch twist, 3 X 9 scope. The bullet is cast from the RCBS 257-120-SP...

I too have tried the bullet from the 314-120 group buy. Cast up 3-400 hundred of them. Used wheel weights and why I water dropped them, I don't know. My S&W Model 16 snubbed them with a number of...

Dan,
Can't help you with the Red Dot. The light load I use is with 7grs. Unique and Lee's 130 gr. gas checked bullet. Light and accurate load. I haven't chrono'd this load, its good for 50 yard...

The discontinued Ruger Security Six fills a niche if smaller frame revolver is desirable. It usually don't bring a fist full of dollars and along with the Smiths, it is a sturdy, reliable firearm.

Dan,
I use commercial 223 cases to neck up to 7mm. Then using the exact method as Oldfeller to bevel the mouth. I am casting with the Lee 130 gr. round nose mold, dropping a .285 diameter bullet and...
