I'm a somewhat of a regular browser/ occasional poster here on this forum and don't really know where else to ask this question because it's about a Browning. Does anyone have experience with the Citori Gti shotgun? I'm wanting to get an over/under for clays and hunting...kind of all around...

I also wanted to ask if blued steel vs. stainless steel tend to do this more?

I have a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 and like to play around with moderately hot hand-loads and cast lead bullets. Probably 80% of my shooting is cast lead from Bumble-bee and Laser-cast in .38 spl brass. I bought the gun used in about 90% condition, so it was fairly well used before I got it...

What's the approx. value of a used blued 6" Security Six? It's in about 90-95%condition with a very slight cylinder turn ring and slight holster wear on the tip of the barrel edge. It comes with the original red cardboard box. I saw one today and they want $450 for it, which seeemed a bit...

Thanks Jimbo, I didn't realize there was load info further down the page. Also, thanks for the other info Rock! You guys are great as usual! Now to try out some of this old stuff in my Blackhawk. I'll probably stay with light loads so as to not push my luck with burning the barrel like the...

I found that thread too, but I know this can of powder I have is good and I would like to use it, not dump it in my yard like one of those guys said. Does anyone have any load data maybe from old reloading manuals from the 1960's-70's or 80's for Win 630 ball powder and .38spl or .357mag...

I was giving a full 1lb. can of old Winchester Ball Powder 630 and am looking for some .38/.357 loading data so I can use it shooting 158gr. lead SWC bullets. It's an old enough powder that I can't find any data for it....but I know it's out there somewhere. Does anyone have any info on it...

Wow, I can hardly believe this post thread has been resurrected from the dead! If you must ask, the trip was tons of fun. Also, believe it or not, we did come literally face-to-face with a bear on the trail (only about 15 feet away and it spooked the bejeebers out of us). It was only a mid...

I got it today and I was mistaken, it's a 7.5" barrel, not 6.5"....but it is nice all the same. I'm excited to try it out. I have some .44 brass and components already, so I'll load some mild and a few hotter rounds and give it a go once the weather here in the northwest dries a bit. It's...

I didn't measure it, so I guess it's probably the 5.5" model. I did handle it today and look it over real closely and it's pretty much like a new revolver. There's the grime on it from the 50 rounds he put through it and I'm sure he has never cleaned it beyond giving it a a superficial wipe...

Yes, it has the box and papers and even the plastic bag and little yellow plastic ring that they put over the cylinder. It's basically a like new gun as it has only had 50 rounds through it since it left the factory some 4 years ago. --Anna Sophia

What's a regular 6" Stainless Redhawk in .44mag worth these days? I have a friend that has one he bought about 4 years ago and put a box of ammo through it and then put it away, so it's basically a like new gun. He told me he'd sell it for $400. I've kind of been wanting one of these for a...

Thanks for all the tips and experience with these bullets! I think I've decided on the .30 cal 150 grain spitzers mostly because I have more .30 cal rifles to shoot them through compared to the 7mm, and I kind of enjoy lead cast bullets in revolvers and my .44 Marlin. I'm kind of a...

I'm kind of leaning towards the .30 cal bullets since I have more rifles to shoot them through....but another wrench in the works here is that I can also pick a 180 grain .44 Mag XTP bullet. I have several .44 mag revolvers as well as a Marlin lever action in .44 Mag. I would easily shoot...

I bought a Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic reloading kit and it came with a promo where I pay $15 shipping and get 500 free bullets. Sweet deal, except you have to choose from a short list of bullets that they allow you to pick from and on top of that, you have to get all 500 in the same type of...
