So, I'm having a stupid hard time locating 45/120 brass, and a friend of mine has an abundance of 450 NE brass. Can 450 NE 3 1/4" brass be reformed to 45/120?
Just a question, hoping for an...

I carry my 45 Colt Interarms Dragoon in a cross draw holster with a good cant. It stays out of the way but is still easy to get to. I'm not worried about hiding it on the farm, or most of the woods I...
In 2010 I bought a new Bearcat 22 for my wife, and a single six convertible for myself. Then I inherited a Smith 28-2 Highway Patrolman from my stepdad
Here at the farm I just drive a couple rebars in the ground and drop 6' pieces of conduit over them, then attach an old twin sheet to the conduit. Works like a shield catches the brass and drops...
65 year old mom....I'm more hesitant bout her and +p anywhoozle....lol
33 explains why I can't find anything on it. The end of the box LOOKS like a 32 maybe...lol
My mother recently received a Rossi 38 spl. 5 round revolver, I'm having trouble locating any information on. It is SUPPOSED to be a model 32, but I can't find anything on that model number. I do...

I'm out on a limb.....hands down my Marlin39a
That 16" barrel brings back shades of an old short lived comedy cop movie with Clint Eastwood and Ole Burt. City heat...Burt has a Luger with about a 12" barrel and Clint a SAA with what appears to...

I'm sure it's not my "last gun" lmao, but most recent was a Mossberg MVP LR 223/5.56. A real sweet shooting bolt action that is fed with AR mags. Added a Vortex crossfire 2, a bipod and sling. Oh,...

Home defense here starts with 100 pound Great Pyrenees female and a 140 pound South African Boerboel (Mastiff). So, the shotgun option is low here. Don't want a bigger risk of hitting puppers. So I...
Have you ever run any FFG holy black thru the 500? Or if you want "fast burning" 3Fg....
The thing is I got a "great deal" on 250 grain Berry's 452 flat nose plated bullets and when they landed here they were 200 grain. Which makes using them in the old Dragoon a limited item. With the...
I have a Virginian Dragoon in 45 Colt 7.5" barrel blued barrel and case hardened frame. I've had her for decades now, and have wanted to push it a bit. I have had it checked out and been told they...
I've been getting into a bit of steel shooting as of late. Ar400 1/4" for close up pistol/rimfire and ar500 1/2" and 3/8" at longer rifle distance. What is the best way to hang? I'm having trouble...
Main reason I got involved with the hp-38 was it supposed to have worked well across the board for what I load for. Guess I need to keep it out of the big cases and try summin else lol
I've been reading it's also rather position sensitive also. Might have run better if I carried rounds nose up and/or held the muzzle high before shooting
Does the larger case volume have a tremendous difference on it's round to round variations? It seem to work great at mid/upper end of 38spl and 357 mag. Hell the 158gr Berry's hollows I loaded up...
Does hp tend to stack up pressure nearer the top end? Hodgden website shows 7.3 as max for a 230, and 5.8 as start. 6.5 should have been middle....guess I'm pulling and topping a bit higher... Or...
My hodgden book (granted older) showed 6.5 as mid-range load. For a cast bullet, of 230gr and Berry's says to load for cast, plated or jacket can be used.
Not my cast boolit, but Berry's plated .452 230 grain flat point over 6.5 gr of HP-38 and a cci large pistol primer. Most I shot seemed fine, but a bit light. But, I stopped after my second squib...
