Grooves are on all sides of the bore, gotta add the groove diameter twice. Another way to look at it - the radius is increased from bore to groove by 0.004 and the diameter is thus two radii.

We members are allotted storage space for saved private messages. I have found it useful to maintain a record of whom I’ve communicated with in the past. The limit on the number of stored messages...

I used to shoot Alberts swaged pistol bullets, typically straight sided and tumble lubed. I think they morphed into Taurus Bullets.

I have Redding case forming dies in 33 WCF and the first pass is indeed similar to a 40-65 die. Best to form the body taper before going after the neck.

I’m putting together a FrankenSmith revolver. It’s based on a lovely, tight 1917 that has had the military markings removed by grinding the bottom of the barrel and the butt. I’ve been shooting the...

I have several more or less high tension saw frames and they do make a big difference. The Amazon page for your Bahco 225 has a photo of the Bahco 325, which I discovered during some internet...

Yes, please!

That method has been called the Wilks gas check, first reported in Handloader Magazine, I think. That version had a hole centered in the flat part, so it could be placed in any bore diameter cavity...

Yessir, the G1 Contender was available in 30 Carbine from the factory. I gots one such here. They be collectable now.

Some months back, there was discussion on my NextDoor page about a common Medicare fraudulent claim. I took a look and found one like it on my record, so I called Medicare to report it. Complete...

Nomex is good stuff, needs a cotton (no polyester) layer next to the skin. This was demonstrated to us newbies in USAF pilot training at a group briefing. Fellow on stage had a propane torch, wood...

Late model countertop drippin's containers often come standard with a stainless mesh top filter, no need to adapt a coffee filter. I use the strained oil for cooking and sometimes scrape the...

My favorite TexMex place in SA is Mi Tierra Cafe, open 24 hours. Was with an airline layover crew one night about midnight, and a nearby long table was filled with a large family, who all broke out...

It does vary widely. I've had 40-65 on backorder since Feb 2021 and 45 Auto Rim and 455 MkII since Dec 2021

Right away, I had installed a Volquartsen Accuracy Kit in my new MkIV 22/45 Tactical. Trigger feels like a M41 Smith.

Back in the 70s, the old Miniature Machine Company (MMC), of Deming, NM, produced sweet little miniature fully adjustable rear sights for use in standard factory dovetails, including the FN Hi-Power....

I generally provision my classics (Hi Power, Colt Diamondback, etc) with older leather from ebay. Faves are Safariland and Bianchi.

I hold the trigger back while quietly cocking a single action, pulling the hammer all the way back, then releasing the trigger while easing down the hammer to the full cock notch. Only noise is that...

I clean cruddy revolver chambers like this: thoroughly sop the chambers with Ed's Red and let soak for a few minutes. Chuck a rifle caliber bronze bore brush (22 for this case) in a drill/driver and...

Yeah, Buddy! Would love to find one so rechambered and try to dicker the price down to account for the 'loss of collector value.' Would fail to admit the increase in my interest!

Several years...

Sinclair International comes to mind, as they made/make specialty loading tools for use at the range. Now part of the Brownells group.

Back in the 70s, one of the largest center section multi page advertisers in the tabloid Shotgun News was J & G Rifle Ranch, of Arizona. One of their specialties was old stocks of Colt revolvers. For...

Could be 400 Whelen or 400 Brown Whelen

I think it's a version of the Pro Hunter. I carry a plain one, nonserrated.

After several tries, I had good luck at last with a lady in the office, who went back and searched their old stock of parts. The email I have, from last year, is
