I bought the Wolff spring set for the 66; it came with the power rib mainspring and 13#, 14#, and 15# rebound springs. I brought the gun back to the dealer/smith I bought it from (he has one of the...
For now, this will be a range gun, as my .45ACP is sized a little better for concealment. That being said, I'm more than willing to try a few non-permanent options. The Wolff springs will be on...

Damn. Just watched it... shouldn't a done that at work.
Ah! Thank you Peidmont, that clears things up a bit.
JLJ, Not sure if I'll make the change or not, but I DO appreciate your input. I'll definately look into that trigger job DVD.

jameslovesjammie,
Thanks for the info. I've done many mods to my .22s, is the spring kit something a do it yourselfer can do, or is that gunsmith material?
I already handseat my primers, but...
I've been an auto shooter all along, but after dri-firing a 686 SSR (with trigger work done to it) I fell in love with the idea of owning a revolver. Alas, a 686 SSR is a little outta my price range...

Linstrum,
That was a great write-up. Three of my grand parents dealt with cataracts. I doubt if I could get my parents to weed through this forum, but I'll definitely copy your posts out and...

The local indoor range, where I shoot league, had a zombie shoot at Halloween. It's a pretty high tech range and they're able to do some cool stuff with the target shuttle. They turned off the...

Thanks all,
I'll keep an eye on the rims. If that doesn't work out, I'll drive my truck over it a few times.
I'm really looking forward to above freezing temperatures...

I've only had my MN for a couple of months, and only taken it to the range once so far, but I can't seem to be able to get 5 rounds in it unless I chamber one. So, is it truly a 5-round magazine, or...
This reminds me of when I was about 13~14. We went down to my Aunt and Uncles house and did some plinking out back. Another Uncle brought his .357mag and let me shoot it (I hit nothing). He let me...
@ JWP475 Excellent illustration! I'm mostly an automatic shooter in handguns so I've always just kind of thought of revolvers as indestructible tanks. (NO, I WOULD NOT LOAD LIKE THE A$$CLOWN...

I've been reading and learning a LOT on this forum. IT IS GREAT, thanks to all you who contribute.
My question is, how long after pouring the alloy do you wait to dump the boolits from the...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Can you cite this? I've just done some cursory searching and I can't seem to find anything to back that up, on a National Scale. I'm sure it's coming, and I don't necessarily contest your accuracy,...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Does anyone have a favorite book on casting? Like a Dummies guide to casting boolits? I'm reading Lee's Modern Reloading and I find it easy to read and highly informative, but I'd like to find...

Lylejb,
Thanks! That's what I was looking for. And it's good to know I'm getting a deal on the lead. I'll go stock up! And, I'm going to hit up all the local tire shops to see what else I can...
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Am I reading this right? You melt your scrap/range lead in one pot, but use a separate pot for casting? Is this common practice?
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Good to know... I'll be sure to dig quickly and get out through the same guy that quoted me the price. :-D They're a nice group of guys though; when I was putting up a tire swing for my kids I...

Ah, you're correct on the FPS. I was going by memory but, of course, my memorie was flawed (note to self: ALWAYS view charts while reloading). I just looked up the estimated velocity in the Alliant...

Hello all,
I've been lurking for a couple days, searching, reading, learning. This place is an awesome wealth of knowledge.
