    185 gr. .45 acp jswc sanity check.

    sandspider: thanks for figuring this out. I haven't loaded any 185 gr LSWC since I was still not satisfied the COAL was correct. I didn't like the driving band so far out of the case. Really appreciate you taking the time to sort this out for me.

    185 gr. .45 acp jswc sanity check.

    Hats Off! to Hodgdon! I have 10 reloading manuals all the way back to 1970. Very few list COL for 185 gr. LSWC .45 ACP. So I sent the Hodgdon Reloading Data Center (RDC) with a question regarding the COL for 185 gr MBC LSWC. They sent me a prompt reply thanking me for bring this to their...

    185 gr. .45 acp jswc sanity check.

    Hodgdon Reloading data center for 185 gr JSWC 5.0 - 5.5 gr. Titegroup with COL 1.135" (bullet on left). Bullet on right is MBC 185 gr. cast SWC5.3 - 6.0 gr. Titegroup with COL 1.245", which piuts the case mouth just barely touching the upper band. I would prefer to seat the CAST SWC to...

    Question re leasing farm land for cattle grazing.

    Fencing requirements vary by state. Make sure you know what constitutes a legal fence. Here in southern colorado a legal fence is a 4 wire. We shared a pasture with a neighbor. My brother and I set out to attend a calf with an abcess on his jaw, when my brother was attacked a few years ago...

    Power Custom hammer and trigger question.

    I installed a PC hammer and trigger in a new model single-six. All of my Ruger revolvers have triggers massaged by me, as I am fussy about my triggers. When I installed the PC kit I didn't have to do anything to the trigger, - It is fantastic. Can't answer your question about the free spin...

    Weird codes on a Subaru Outback

    vito - we had a similar problem with a 2015 subaru forester. Tech couldn't find anything wrong with their magic code readers. The problem was intermittent and just as you described. I went to a subaru forum and discovered it was a fairly common problem. The problem was the OEM brake light...

    .38 S&W SPL+P with moon clips

    Thank you all for your responses. They encouraged me to do more research. I never would have guessed a revolver could function both with and without moon clips. And the 642-1 can as the moon clips are 0.020" thick Thanks, Taylor

    .38 S&W SPL+P with moon clips

    Since this question is about a "non-Ruger" revolver, I thought it best to post here. A have a cousin that is a first time firearm owner in Massachusetts. I'm in Colorado. The label on the box is: Smith & Wesson M642 PRO series w/moonclips. Model 642-1, .38 S&W SPL+P. I've searched everywhere...

    Extended Car Warranties

    Every third party car warranty we've had over the last thirty years has gone bankrupt before the coverage expired, even after extreme research and recommendations. I tend to trust Dealership extended warranties on new cars, but in the 5 new vehicles in over ten years, we've never had to use...
