Shrapnel did a great job of covering this. I live in Alaska and cannot tell you how many times I've seen long guns left in the boat or on the bank out of reach when folks are fishing. I've only ever...

I had Jes do a 375 Whelen for me several years ago. It was a Sedgley Springfield with a rough bore. He got it back to my in 10 days, from my door back to my door. I got the dies from CH4D. At that...

Not only is the book great it made a great backdrop for showing off the holly grips on my Lipseys 45 Colt. The book and the grips arrived the same day.

I haven't shot any powders that fast with my heavy 41 bullets but have used Unique. I'm working remote and away from my loading notes but got excellent accuracy with 265-280 grain bullets in the...

Those 280 grain bullets were a hard bullet (16 BHN) and many years old. They sized with not a lot of difficulty from .412 to .403 with a Rockchucker press. I did use a little Hornady Unique lube....

Before I got my molds for it, I resized quite a few 41 magnum bullets to .403 for use in my 401 Powermag. These are a 410459 220 SWC, a 230 grain FP and a 280 grain LBT WLNGC. All sized with a Lee...

I have this mold but haven't cast any bullets with it yet. It comes highly recommended by some of the guys on the Single Action forum. You can get it gas checked and with the hollow point pins. It's...

You're welcome. I've done a few of mine and will do more again soon. It has never failed to improved the accuracy of the revolver for me. Sometimes quite a bit, sometime just a little.

It's very unlikely that Ruger will do anything to remedy the thread choking. That's very common in factory revolvers. Best option is to fire lap it. Fermin Garza does a great rundown on properly fire...

Last week's addition to the family. A fluted Bisley 41 Magnum. And last month a Mountain gun in 41 Magnum.

I'm mixed in my feelings regarding originals versus modern reproductions. I had a Rossi 92, 45 Colt that shot great but didn't set my hear aflutter. I have Browning/Miroku reproductions of the 65, 53...

Arsenal has a nice 200 grain SWC 40 caliber. I use it in my 401 Powermag but it should work well in a 38-40.

I've had four 41 magnums and all have been exceptionally accurate. I recently acquired a S&W Mountain gun in 41 Magnum to go with my Bisley. My previous two were a 6.5 inch Blackhawk and a 4 inch S&W...

When I bought my 500 Linebaugh I called John at the recommendation of some other 500 aficionados. He was great to talk to and very generous with his time and information. He spoke very highly of 16...

My Ruger Redhawk 4 inch 45 is one of the earlier ones before they offered it in 45C/45ACP. The throat were pretty tight, measuring .450 on most and .451 on a couple. The groove diameter is .452. I...

I built the lead pot 25 years ago when I was working for a well driller. We had a short piece of 12 inch casing. Too short to do much with so I welded a bottom on it and have used it for years for...

You enabling scoundrels have got me jonesing for a 14 now. I have a 10 cavity H&G #50 mold, a big pile of range scrap and a lead pot that will hold 125 pounds of lead. I just don't have a model 14. I...

Sage advice.

The 41 Magnum doesn't give up much to the 43 Magnum and the 41 doesn't have to lie about its girth.

I cast about 20 pounds of LBT 280 grain .411 WLN, about 10 pounds of LBT 265 grain .411 WLNGC and about 5 pounds of LBT .357 200 grain FNGC. All from 50/50 Range scrap and linotype.

I haven't kept up much with non cast bullets in the last 30 years. I use a relatively hard bullet in those revolvers I carry afield in Alaska. A 150 pound deer is not a several hundred pound, mad as...

The only one I've not fired yet is the one that's currently on the way. And it'll get some lead down the barrel as soon as I get home from the oilfield.

Not too cold in Wasilla, Alaska but here at work on the north slope it's so cold when I stepped out side yesterday with a cup of coffee, it froze so fast the ice was still warm.:smile:

Most useful sixgun chambering? That's a tough call with a lot of mitigators based on your area and your needs. Arguments could be made for the 22 LR. Great small game cartridge, inexpensive,...

Great job. Always love seeing your old guns and your hunting successes with them. Keep em coming.
