I was a few inches right from the factory, but that was easily corrected with a couple of taps on the rear sight. It's dead on left/right now.

I do have some 2400 that I've been using for lead .357 loads...hadn't considered it for 300 blackout.
I'll do some more digging around here. It's at least good to know that people are doing it...

Just got back from the range. Maybe this wasn't the ideal solution, but I took a file with me and started shaving the rear sight. Also filed down the V a bit. Crude, yes, but it offered a workable...

How fast are you pushing these through an AR??
Forum: Leverguns
I did have a crazy idea of getting a Ranch Hand and putting in the SBR paperwork and throwing a full size 92 stock on it. But that's just crazy talk, I know.

Anyone shooting some sort of cast 300 blk? I'm thinking mostly sub-sonics, as I don't think I want to push cast at full speed through this thing.
Forum: Leverguns
Well, these are going to be hunting loads, so I'd be hesitant to reduce the charge as a solution to the problem.
Yeah, that peep sight is the most attractive option for me right now, but would it...

Tried a new load for my Rossi 92 .357 16". Recently got into 300 blk and realized that I can use H110 for both calibers. So promptly loaded up a few loadings to try in the Rossi. Put 21.5gr of...

Now I need to go get me a .357 ranch hand lol.
Forum: Leverguns
That's what I have...probably common combination, Ruger Blackhawk 6.5" with Rossi 92 16". I've only started to scratch the surface with trying out different loads, but I haven't yet found anything...
Forum: Leverguns
I have a Rossi 92 16" I bought new in 2010. In that time, I've out several hundred rounds through it, mild lead .38 reloads, factory .357 mag, and quite a few I'm between. Not had one issue with...

Yeah, worrying about the ballistics of a .32 or even a .380 is kinda pointless. You might get 10% more lethality doing this or changing that...but it's still 10% of "not much".

Went and got it. It's just shy of 35lb with the drawer. Quite an assortment of letters.
So I showed up and the chick and the guy she was with were kinda, um...hippie-like. I had to think quick....
Forum: Leverguns
Oooh...I love my .357 Rossi. Even with regular .357 loads, there's barely any recoil. With .38's it's super accurate at 50 yards and recoils like my wife's 10-22.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I offered her $35, she countered with $35 for the drawer but no lead. I said ok, I'll give you $20 for the lead and you can go sell the drawer for $35. She says no lead without drawer. Ok, fine,...

Saw this ad on craigslist

In an email, they said it's a bunch if letters and that the drawer may weight up to 35lbs.
Would it be worth...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Ok, I have heard that. Is it a problem even if I'm smelting outside? Or are there any other steps I can take to mitigate the risk? Or do I just dump the sawdust I got and look for another source?
Forum: Leverguns
I'm glad to read all this stuff about 2400. It's the first powder I bought when I started loading .357. Now that I'm about to expand into .30-30, it looks like I don't need to stock another powder...

Finally got a hook up at a tire shop. Asked him about weights and he said it's all going to be steel. He said he'll pull the one or two lead weights he finds and let me know when he has a decent...

Went to Home Depot today for some hardiplank and went to see the saw guy. Got a 5 gallon bucket of nice, clean sawdust for free.
So, um, yeah, not quite like scoring a big wheel weight find or...

Hm, I saw the 32" bbl and figured recoil wouldn't be too much of a problem. Looked again when I saw this post and saw it's only 8lbs. That is kinda light.
I've shot a lot of 8mm out of a M48 and...

Sorry, I'm loading .357.
For the time being, I'll probably just stick with the stock kit, but I know if I'm going to stick with this, I'll need to look at some other tools. Powder funnel, for...
