I married one. She passed away in 2013. I miss her.

Thanks for the reply. The person mentioned above was trying to obtain Winchester 458 Mag results from the 45-70.

Loading over suggested maximum loads can be dangerous. Your gun may perform with many reloads but the tinsel strength of the metal weakens. Finally a light load can cause to explode. I witness this event as a youth. The gun used was a Ruger no 1 in 45-70. The person was seriously injured and...

It depends on the individual. My deceased wife carried a SW 629 with a 2 1/2 barrel for her CCW. I watched her many times clear the X and ten rings at 50 yds shooting off hand with factory 240 gr soft points. BTW she died from cancer.

The latest issue of Handloader 294 pp 28-35 by Brian Pearce has a section covering this problem. There is a picture illustrating the problem on page 30. He also gives some great reloading information.

Here is a name for you to research, Chapo Beaty of the Arizona Rangers. Also, look up books written by Jesse Hayes. Two books I have read are "Apache Vengence" and "The Pleasant Valley Wars". Two of my long time friends, Janie and Kathy, were the grand daughters of William Bohme (grand pa...

My deceased wife, Joan, would agree with you. Buy her a diamond ring and she would yawn. Buy her a 44 mag and her eyes would glow. Nice collection.

The shape of the knife reminds me of some the folders used in the preparation of food that I have seen. The knives are very useful in the preparation of a fine meal while camping.

You'll enjoy that Vaqureo. From a fellow owner,

You should be able to eject the 45acp cases w/o having to removed them from the cylinder aka 45 Colt. I have a Ruger 45 Colt/45acp comvertable.

At least she's not my wife. My wife would have claimed the SBH as hers. My wife owns 6 44Mag revolvers. :D

Beautiful peacock. Fay,whose ranch I resided on, had several peacocks. They are fantastic birds. (PS Fay was a man whose name was Phineas Fay and was named after Phineas Clanton of the OK Clantons).

SW Model 28 4" barrel. Still have it. Original cost new-$120 with 2 boxes of 357 ammo.

The loads you quote were for the SW N framed model 27's and 28's that were designed to take the pressures. I would not even think of using the loads I shot in my 28 in current production 357's. Current production 27's and 627's cannot handle the pressures. The earlier 27's held 6 rounds...

My wife considers the 44Mag to be a woman's gun. She owns 6 and drowls over the revolvers at the local pusher.
