Very nice. I don't have a spectrum analyzer, nor a need for one. But for the smaller tools like the pocket oscilloscopes and data loggers something like this could be nice. Personally, I don't...

Texas by God, I actually discovered something while looking into building my own. This may be something that can help out in the future if anyone is looking at doing a build.
The Savage 301 and...
Personally, I have used it with 4# Buckshot loads for 12ga with great results. I've also heard it can be used in various pistol calibers. I only have a little under a pound left, so I use it for...
Several felt that way I suppose. But I think there are some key differences between their own experiences and how I managed this.
First, I bought an 18” adapter. Not one of the short, and...
Well, that is something not quite solved. But not entirely necessary. There is no extractor for the barrel insert. The 7.62x25 round is loose enough to pull right out with the help of two little...
I’ve never been much of a turkey hunter. But if the 7.62x25 didn’t work I suppose I could always pull out the adapter and use a 3” ;)
As requested! Thanks again for the sights!

OP asked for True Blue Data. I agree BE, Unique, or even Red Dot would work great - and do for me. He's looking for True Blue, and that is what he is comfortable with.

The classic bullet for the .380acp is the Ideal/Lyman 356242 (90gr variant). The problem is, you'll probably never see this in a 4-cavity mold. I've only seen 1 and 2 cavity molds. I WISH Mihec...
Hands are cramping a little. But that was a long way into breaking this one in.
Yeah, I didn't think I was hitting anything at all. Pulled the target and was pleasantly surprised. This one is definitely a keeper!
One thing I should note, I actually had a pretty extensive range day with this gun. Ended up firing 250rd of three different loads (358311 and 4.0gr Unique, 358477 with 5.0gr Unique, MP357-125-HP...
Just went out today! Literally just walked in through the door after stopping off at the local watering hole with my range buddy to quench our thirst.
Gun shoots VERY well, with or without...
Thought I would provide an update to this. I finally took this out to the range after installing a set of sights that Texas By God sent me.
That is 5 shots with irons at 25yds with my custom...
So I skimmed through that thread, and while I do agree he left you guys hanging, there are a couple of observations I had.
First, it looks like there were questions about what the specs of the...

You're a braver man than I am. I gave up on red heads after I got divorced back in 2006. These days I stick to the ones with low expectations, they're never disappointed. ;)
I’m sure he is referring to the ones here. Btw, the gun came in yesterday evening. Planning on going to the range tomorrow.

You can probably find someone local who is interested in it without all of the hassle of going through Gunbroker.... Talk to other reloaders in your area, somebody will be more than happy to take it...
They are built like a tank for sure! I have no doubt that even my 38spl revolver would handle loads above SAAMI without issues. That said, when I carried it more I used a nice custom leather...

Fortunately it's still available locally, though only in 8lb jugs and for a price of $288 as of this past Friday.... The jug I'm currently using has a price tag on it of $149, which I though was...
I'd say you probably got a lemon. I love mine. Easy to shoot, easy to carry - though it is a 38spl only gun. That said, I have a tougher time hitting anything with it further out than 15 yards. ...

You'd figure that a company like that would sell the business as a whole, up and running, to someone who wanted to keep the line going. I don't know if the owner reached out to anyone to gauge...
