    Ruger No1 caliber change

    Maybe sell it. Then take the money and buy what you want.

    Single Six 32 vs Single Seven

    Sorry I am answering late. I did not notice they shot poorly but did not shoot many rounds.

    Single Six 32 vs Single Seven

    It would not have to do with ammo availability since the .327 can take the .32 H&R Mag. as well as the .32 Long and in most cases, the .32 acp as a semi-rimmed cartridge has worked for me in my revolver. Edit, I am just reading Star43's question about the accuracy of the .32 acp and apologies...

    Ruger P Series pistols. How good are/were they?

    I had one of these a very long time ago. I remember it shot well but was very complicated in taking it apart and putting it back together again.

    32/20 revolver

    I have a Ruger in .32 H&R Mag. and like it a lot. I have many brass & bullets and reload for it. It may be easier to find this ammo than the .32-20 ammo. And the revolver will also take .32 Longs.

    Ruger Red Label 20ga Repair

    My guess is the spring has worn out. I sent one of my springs to a company that made up springs and learned that making up a dozen was about the same price as making up one. I had them make up a dozen or so and the total cost was very low. Many years ago and I forget the figure, maybe $70. I...

    Low Velocity Blackhawk

    Where the bullet speed is measured may factor in as well. And do try another chrono as the readings may not be the same. And maybe get some factory ammo with published data and run it through your rig and contrast the results.

    32 mag

    You can also shoot .32 acp in it. Pretty flexible.

    If SP101 held 6 rounds…

    They made three, you left out the Colt Agent which had a smaller grip. All good guns. I think I have owned them all at one time or another. And one had a shield to protect the hammer sort of like the S&W Model 49.

    Reloading 38 special double end wadcutters question

    I think these bullets are good for defense carry as well as target use. One of the reasons to have a double ended wad cutter is to avoid too much pressure from blowing through which can happen with hot loads using hollow base wadcutters. A fair amount has been written on the subject. Given...

    Lightweight .22 rifle recommendations.

    Nobody has mentioned this specially, so I will. One handed carry of a rifle is easiest if the rifle does not have a scope. Beyond that, depending on your hand size, small at the carry point is more comfortable than large, at least for me. I like being able to load the rifle with shorts or...

    Reloading .38 special questions

    If this was mentioned earlier, I didn't see it. Having the ability to reload is nice in the event everything shuts down for whatever reason. Existing ammo you don't need can be disassembled and the components used for the ammo you need. Food for thought.

    Poulin Auctions

    I worked a number of years for Pete Harvey who had four 2 day auctions a year. I am making a guess that about half of the items were picked up and the others shipped. One of my jobs was packaging and shipping. We would get back to the shop after the auction and unload. Then, the next day, we...
