Several years ago I set out to develop a fast (but accurate ) load for the 165 gr Sierra boat tail in my 30-06. I won't go into particulars here because they would only apply to that rifle. I kept increasing the powder charge and the accuracy kept improving until I was slightly above the...

Chuck, two boxer, Krw: Thanks for the input. Maybe I will just call tomorrow and cancel my order. You say the RCBS works real well?

After reading a lot of customer comments and company hype I decided I wanted a Pact Dispenser / Scale combo. Tried all the LGS with no luck. Tried the big mail order houses. Again no luck. They all showed "out of stock". Called the "factory" in Grand Prairie, Texas. "Yes sir, we will get it...

Anybody remember a Ruger carbine, stocked to the muzzle, and a model #77RSC (I think)? I had one years ago in 308 Win (shot my last deer with it) and then gave it to my son. I sure wish I had it back but don't think it would be right to ask him for it.

Penny (And others), thanks for the tip. If you can't trust H.P. White Labs, who can you trust.

LCT, I bought a 5027 recently. It is a good looking piece. Unfortunately, it is now back with Ruger to find out why it won't shoot. It jams up with anything in the chambers. Not some time - all the time. Got it back yesterday. It seems to be functional now. Don't know what they did to it...

Kinda what I guessed. The guy sounded like he was pre-programmed to say that.

I have been reloading since 1960 (38 Spl to 44 Mag and 6.5x55 to 30-06) but only recently acquired my first 45 Colt (a S/S Redhawk). Question for the gurus: Will a S/S Redhawk SAFELY handle +P loads of 255 gr cast bullets? BTW - Unique is as scarce as hen's teeth in my neck of the woods.

I understand the Super Redhawk has 44 Magnum strength. Is the Redhawk less robust? My Redhawk has not fired its first round yet but the Customer Service rep I talked to about why it locks up with anything in the chambers told me they recommend that I do not shoot reloads in it. Is there a...

Other than the lump on the barrel what are the differences between a Redhawk and a Super Redhawk.

I'm having a similar problem with my new Redhawk in 45 Colt. It will dry fire with an EMPTY cylinder just fine (single action or double action). But load up the cylinder and the trigger will not pull the hammer back far enough for the sear to drop it. Pulling the hammer back (as in single...
