Forum: Hunting with CB's
I love canned venison as well, that's the only way my grandfather and father ever processed their deer. When I got my first deer my father, brother and I were up until about 1:30 in the morning...
Thanks for posting this, I got a chance to listen to it last night. Very informative.
As to handloading to replicate the "FBI" load Unique does a very good job, my M10 really likes 5.3gr with a Hornady LSWCHP. Here is a link to some .38 Special testing that was done on another forum,...
Maybe this will be of some help to you.

Yup sure is hard to go wrong with the S&W M10 for all the reasons already mentioned. After reading a few articles by Ed Harris I think I'm going to try out some full charge wadcutters as well.
Thanks folks, I did as contender1 described and put a small bend in the pin.
Yeah that's what I was thinking already. Is there a spring under there that I would need to pay attention to so as not to lose it?
I have a quick question for you folks. I just got back from spending 9 hours out in the woods hunting. When I got back to the house I went to wiping down my firearms as always, and noticed that the...
See how 8.5gr works for ya', does very well for me.
It's been a while since I posted on this thread. Since my last post I went and purchased some nice rose wood grips from here http://www.handgungrips.com/Blackhawk_=_Ruger/1598/c/3070 they are...
Thanks TUG, I was unaware that someone purchased MBW until reading your post. Thats great news as I really like the H&G #258 bullets I got from them, I was sad to hear the news the business was up...
Thanks azredneck, since Montana Bullet Works is not making bullets for the time being I had Matt's Bullets in mind for my next batch of Keith bullets. I sure do wish Dry Creek was still in business...
Hello folks, since my last post I got some new stocks for my BH and I couldn't believe how much difference they made. I haven't been able to go out and shoot with them yet but they feel tremendously...
Thanks for the link RJM, one question though is do those grips work for the Rugers that have the lock?
Here is some more .41 Magnum info to contribute to the thread.

I've shot the #258 Keith bullet from Montana Bullet works over 19gr of 2400 from my 4 5/8" Ruger BH with awesome accuracy. But man that load really smarts with the factory cheese grader stocks that...
I have to agree with Tatume, I've not had one problem when using the H&G #258 but I use a healthy crimp. I've gone all the way up to 19.0gr of 2400 without a single issue other than a sore hand. I...
I've tried the Lyman #358429 ahead of 5.0gr Unique and it didn't do so well in my S&W M10. I don't know if it was because it wasn't true to form (the bullet looked as though it were from a modified...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I was browsing around the forum and ran across the thread for the group buy of this bullet. I was wondering of those that bought this mold who is using this bullet in their .38 SPL?, and what load...
I've never used Red Dot in the .41 magum, in fact it kind of scares me thinking about using such a fast burning powder in the .41 mag. In doing some research of my own on various .41 mag loads I did...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I need to draw upon the experience of the experts here. I've decided to get into casting my own sometime this year. I'm having a hard time however nailing down what I want. I'm looking for a good...
Like some others here I use Unique for the moderate loads and 2400 for magnum loads. Lately though my curiosity has been piqued quite a bit about the use of Power pistol and 300MP. I have a...
Glynn thanks for the info that is what I kinda figured. BCrider I've done a lot of research and don't see that load as being over max with a true Keith bullet ala H&G #258. The bullets in the Lyman...
Lloyd,I was wondering about which load you was reffering to that ruger will eat for lunch. By chance were you reffering to the 19.0gr of 2400 load?
