I bought 1K of those last year. Mine had 41 out of 50 that worked fine. I pulled the rest and found no anvils in them. I looked at the rest of the primers and found missing anvils in lots of them....
It's not an Army Special either. It is either a Colt New Army or a Colt New Navy revolver. The Army Special came later. You need original cases or accuracy will suffer.
Well then it is safe to use (max) 3.0 grains of Bullseye, 4.0 grains of HP38 or W231, or 5 grains of Unique under a 200 grain bullet. Use original cases, I have not tried a Starline case but I hear...

I always think there is no warranty that is worth having. If you need to use it, you are likely to hate it.
That being said I have had nothing but perfect luck buying firearms from every company...

Done it many times like this for years. I do not remember where I learned it maybe from my dad?

I bought a Uberti revolver from Cimarron back in 2020. It has Taylor's stamped on the barrel!
If your revolver was made in 1906 it is not a Colt Model 1892. It is more likely a Model 1901 or Model 1903. It should have the Colt "VP" stamp on the forward end of the L/H trigger guard signifying...

I've only heard of posole or pozole but what do I know.

I make posole sometimes with boneless pork chops, Herdez green sauce, garlic, and white hominy. Great with corn tortillas. Serve it with shredded cabbage, thinly sliced radishes, chopped avocados,...

I have used the Lee powder disks for many decades. I think the advice above is good. Perhaps you are trying for a standard that does not matter? Weighing every charge from my equipment it is...

I was there two years ago. A guy had a 4 lb unopened box of Trail Boss powder. He wanted $500 for it. I passed.
Smith and Wesson is the only company that incorporates a lock on their new revolvers. They are not going to sell any to me.
I need one. Their reputation is stellar as seen above. They have not been made in decades.

There are a lot of great places to visit in KY. The Horse Farm is nice, I took visitors there and they would always come away impressed. The distillery tours are fun. Maker's Mark is recommended....

Jerry's sells a powder coated SWC that is 100 grains. You might call them and discuss what you want.

I am still using Hercules Unique powder from around 1985 so the loading data there - from 1985 - is what I use.

I have a Winchester Model 1890 chambered in 22 WRF. My grandfather bought it new in a hardware store in 1895. It is a pretty accurate rifle. I have both Remington and Winchester ammunition for it.

Green Dot is great for many pistol calibers. I use it in 38 WCF and 45 Colt and 44 Russian. Data is out there. It's a little slower than Unique and a little cleaner too. Very fluffy and fills the...
It's an early flat top target. The gun was not listed in Colt records. The cylinder and barrel were replaced before I got it.
I have several revolvers chambered in 32 WCF. I get my bullets locally at Jerry's. He offers powder coated Keith style SWC's in 100 grain, 110 grain, and 120 grain weights. I loaded a few of each...

Around 1984 I bought a new Model 19 S&W Nickel plated for about $319 including tax. I was at a big Dallas Market Hall gun show. I bought some new 357 Magnum ammunition for about $29. I bought a new...
I would say neither fish nor fowl. You want either a good 410 or a good 45 - the Judge is neither.
