How do double action Colt's compare to S&W 32 20's for strength?

Pretty sure it's an radioactive isotope shipping container. They are about as pure a piece of lead as you could find. Take the picture on your cell phone and show it to an x ray-tech at your local...
Seems like 4756 also has a flash supressant in it, too.

A distinguished friend shoots SK in his Victor and Browning, and starts making excuses if he hasn't managed 810-815 in our weekly matches. And has a rag to wipe the oil off his hands when he stops...
Used to shoot at a public range. Setting up a target frame took time and removing it took a lot more. A plastic pop bottle or a can with 3 or 4 gravel dropped in gave enough mass to toss it 15 feet...
Contender 1: Do you have a picture of the Bradshaw/Martin 194 grain bullet? A 357 max 10" contender barrel is stashed around here somewhere. The fellow I bought it from remarked that it was a thumper...
Artifical sinew for Track of the Wolf is prewaxed and more than strong enough.

Worry more about the as cast diameter than the weight. Original TD's run over .460 very often. Don't know what an Italian copy would be, But you ought to find out.

Was looking for .348 gas checks several years ago. Nobody had them; except Hornady. Yup right out of the factory. Their direct sales policy may have changed, but you ought to give them a call.

Did you measure the depth of the bolt notch and subtract that from the cylinder wall thickness? That is supposed to be the weak spot of a revolver cylinder.

the last time it hit the fan (Think 1929) Remington was up against it, like many other folks. They did some market research, and went into making pocket knives. Why? Because their research pointed...

Ford moly EP tube grease works for smokeless or Black powder. Only downside is having to apply it a finger dab at a time. Very soft, but it doesn't melt or run.

A long time ago, I had a trapdoor. Sold it; oops. Anyhow, never did slug the barrel, but a buddy and I shot it off his porch rail at 85 yard pop cans one afternoon. Used the TC maxiball, lubed with...
The flat top grip frame defies Pachmayr or Hogue grips. Neither company makes a grip to fit. However if you remove the grip locator pin, the discontinued Pachmayr grip for the SAA will be a tight...

there's one on an auction site for $46 shipped. Looks like a paperclip, an empty percussion cap can, and a nipple wrench and powder measure from a fired 45 70 case would do almost as well. And would...
The ad is showing only a bullet sizer and related punch, and a decapping pin, in addition to what you are looking at. If the price is anywhere close to reasonable, grab it. Even if you don't want to...

You may be fighting the specifications of two different Italian manufacturers. Never heard of shooting a BP revolver without either a lubricated wad or grease over the slug. This keeps the fouling...

Have cast with iron molds since the late 1960's. Still do; have many Lyman's and several 2 and 4 cavity Saeco's. If Lee has a design that suits you, their 6 cavity molds really work well, as do...

The muzzleloading range where I shoot has a covered firing line. Bolted into the oak rafters of that roof are a couple of pieces of 2 inch angle iron that have 3/8 inch notches cut into them . This...

Will the contender handle a 30 carbine cartridge? Cases are pretty easy to find, and will last, and loading it down will get you into the velocity range you want. It was made for a .308 barrel....
