Bevel-base bullets? If so, try flat base or gas check bullets.
Does this rifle barrel have a different twist rate than your others? If it's slower you may need to use shorter bullet.

I'm the present owner of my late FIL's Model 19. He had the barrel replaced after it cracked at each side of that flat spot at the rear of the barrel. S&W fixed the gun and returned it with a...
An early 2000's edition of Hodgdon's Annual Manual lists 19gr Lil Gun with a 158 gr bullet. Low pressure and higher velocity using this powder intended for 410 shotguns.

A couple weeks ago I bought a Cimarron (Uberti) Schofield 45LC. It's fun, quite accurate, and the trigger is getting better with use.
i have a 9mm. I think S&W isn't advertising the best feature which is the ability to strip and clean the pistol without ever taking the safety off.
Lyman has had a decent selection of grips since buying Pachmayer years ago.

My range volunteer job provides contact with a guy who worked at Federal when they were testing a non-lead primer. It didn't work well. Check the package.

My Browning BLR 38W really liked a 200gr RCBS cast boolit from Missouri bullets over 39gr IMR 3031.

Reese's peanut butter cups. May as well snack on a "bait".

The bench rifles we see at our indoor range are really free floated. If you could bend a silver dollar to fit, it would pass between the barrel and stock. Dollar bill floating isn't really free...
It's actually a Lovex powder, also sold here as Shooters World Buffalo.

There is another problem. The barrel is 20" long, measured from bolt face. If you take it to Canada for a black bear hunt it will be measured by Canadian Customs, who measure barrel length from the...

We lived in a western ND small town for 30 years. It had a privately owned butcher shop that wanted deer delivered with the hide on and the interior rinsed, but not scrubbed clean, to seal the...

My only complaint of my Remlin/Marlin 44 magnum is the twist rate is too slow to stabilize a 300gr boolit. Chiappa ($$$) may be the only 44 levergun with a fast twist.

My 358 BLR gets its rack cleaned with a toothbrush regularly. No problems yet, and it's very accurate. I used to live back-to-back with a gunsmith. He once used go and no-go gauges to reassemble a...
The last scopes I've bought have been Burris Droptines, Hawke, and Bushnell. Illuminated reticles, if possible.
My late FIL cracked his M19's barrel. I now have the revolver and load nothing exceeding 38 Spl +P loads.

Standard Winchester primers are made to ignite graphite coated, double base ball powders.

My 99 does best with a 150 gr Hornady SST and 40 gr of IMR 4064.

I have an 81 BLR 358Winchester. Very accurate if you treat it like most rifles with 2-piece stocks. Try resting the receiver (or at least the rear of the fore end) on the shooting bags. It works...
I hunt black bear. Because of a bad back, I hunt from a ground blind. A SBH is my backup, the prime firearm is a Marlin 45-70 and the last 2 cartridges from the magazine are Buffalo Bore. Having...
When sighting in laser sights, I rest my fists or wrists on the bags. You can rest even a handgun frame on a bag, but like rifles, never the barrel. Also, don't let the gun's grip rest on or bump...

If what leaves the muzzle is similar to a 10 gauge, the gun should weigh as much as a 10 gauge, or it will hurt the shooter a lot.

As for big game (deer are really medium game), you should check out Buffalo Bore's 38-55 loads, reading their detailed description of each.
