    I have used the RCBS 98SWC since I got my 16-4, 10 years ago or so now. It is an outstanding little bullet, never found a load that wouldn’t shoot with it.

    I once owned a 3” S&W 625-3. It was incredibly accurate and a lot of fun to shoot. For some reason I traded it off and always regretted it.

    I redeemed myself about 3 years ago when I bought a 5”...

    I think Markell, a bullet company from the 50’s that Elmer Keith endorsed as selling good Keith style slugs for the non caster, offered designs with a copper wash for a little extra. Winchester or...

    It is very similar. In fact I believe the old catalog description I read mentioned it being “a button nosed wadcutter similar to the Lyman design”.

    You often hear midrange wadcutters being...

    I have an H&G wadcutter mold but not the more common #50. I’d have to look at the H&G history site again to be certain but I think it’s a #32. It has a full diameter driving band ahead of a tapered...

    I saw yesterday on another board where a fellow claimed that an email to Hodgdon got a response that the Enduron line is suspended as opposed to discontinued. The factory is trying to catch up with...

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen one but if I remember right the shank on the bead is inserted into the hole in the front sight and the top of the sight is crimped down onto it. Look at the top of...

    I’d take anything hard enough to not expand but soft enough to not fragment, with a flat nose, and drive it 900-1000 fps and feel reasonably well armed. 200gr wadcutters driven 1000fps will penetrate...

    The sight was silver soldered from the factory. Most likely a poor quality joint that slipped through and a small portion of the joint was actually bonded to the sight allowing it to stay in place...

    Any gunsmith worth the title should be able to re barrel a revolver for you, provided he has a lathe. I have rebarreled my fair share of wheel guns and it is fairly simple and straightforward for a...

    I have cut dozens of revolvers for moon clips, mostly Ruger SRH 454s but a bunch of S&Ws as well. It isn't a difficult or expensive operation, I think we charge around 150$ to cut one. That fee...

    NECG may have a blank rear blade that you could file down to size. If your mauser is one of the older continental sporters, odds are that the sight was hand made to no particular size other than to...

    Don't forget that this joker can't even spell "PROCEDURE", you'd think he would have spell check. The Vietnam draftee comment was not warranted.
