I stopped off at Discount Tires and asked the manager if he had any scrap wheelweights. He looked at me funny. Then I offered him ten bucks for a bucket full. He told me to go out to the tire man...

Bill I found my Rockchucker box from 8 years ago; no spare cylinders in it for the Uniflow Powder Measure; I also found my factory RCBS box for the Uniflow measure, with instructions; no extra...

Mine was leaking a lot until I turned the rod with my screwdriver/stirring stick. The rod dropped down a little and the dripping stopped. Sorry if you already knew this but it did hold me up for a...

So are you shooting concrete at the cats, or are you using cats as the projectile?

What a set up. I have spent the afternoon melting wheelweights in my 10# Lee Pot. Felix's ladle holds twice as much!

Thanks NVC. I put on the overalls before I go outside. I have a box of Speer pure lead round balls (is that ok to say here?) but I'll save some tape weights still. On that clogged muzzle I've...

You all have been great in helping me on my question about throwing Unique with my Uniflow.
Willbird you may have solved my problem-- I read your post and thought: "What small drum?"-- I need to...

I've been melting wheelweights for the last 3 days. I'm using my 10# Lee Production pot. I do only about 20# a day, but I have to shut it down about 4 to get ready for my night class. Can't do...

You cast for 7.65 Luger? No kidding-- What pistols do you have that shoot that? I have a 1906 (?) civilian (not Army test model) 7.65 Luger.
Did you know that the 30 Luger (7.65 x 19 mm) was...

My RCBS Uniflow powder measure doesn't uniflow too well with Unique. I was throwing loads for .45 Colt at 6.0 gr, 6.7 gr, 7.3 gr, 8.0 gr, and the variation was so bad that I ended up throwing all...

Very good reading, very good testing, good images, and each set of tests ends with "Lessons Learned." Nice work. I liked that lock test!
I am planning to grab 3 or 4! I will go with Uberti, although other Italian makes are good, and have gotten even better. The man I quoted who put down the Beretta Stampede (and he may have just...
Yes you are correct about Beretta and Uberti. Is the gun shop you mention in Southern California? I'd like to look at those Ubertis for < $300. Looks like I will be paying closer to $500 each for...
He is nowhere near Orange County--- he is north of you, and a lot west-- L.A. County-- price is about $130 under market for the revolvers, but they are used. I wish they had been in .45 LC. There...
Al check out the Gunslinger in Glendora-- I was there today-- you are not a lot farther from there than me-- 4 freeways and 40 miles for me-- he has two Uberti '73 Single Action Armys in .44-40 for...
I am looking at buying 3 or more Uberti repros of the Colt 1873 SAA. One piece that really jumped out at me yesterday at Walker 47 in N. Anaheim was a '73 SAA repro for $330. New I believe. It was...

Wayne, Navy Arms replied (with the briefest of notes) to say that their Scout is made by Uberti, and is based on the Uberti Stallion. You can see the Stallion on the Uberti site, and the Scout on...
