    My old MK1 and CCI Velocitor & Win. Hyper Vel HP

    It is my understanding that Ruger says NOT to shoot hypervelocity in Standard autos. You could email them or check the pistol manuals you can access from their website. I wouldn't shoot hypers in mine.

    Will 110 gr hurt my GP100 OR bLACKHAWK 357

    Is your ammo full power .357 or a mid-power load? Full power light (110 grain) bullet loads can give you some flame cutting of the top strap of you shoot a fair number of them. I don’t believe a couple of boxes would be a problem. This is what I've read on the gun sites. The only .357 I...

    Winchester Super-X .22 Ammo

    Is this ammo, with a muzzle velocity of 1300fps as compared with CCI MiniMag's 1235 fps, considered to be Hyper-Velocity .22 ammo? What velocity is the start of the Hyper-Velocity rating for .22 ammo?

    Cleaning-- SP101

    Got to the section on the Ruger website for how to clean their double-action revolvers under Tech Tips under the Videos section of the site. You don't have to remove the cylinder for normal cleaning.
