    Conversion

    While I agree that it is very much a cartridge without a cause, it IS something to tinker with. Hence my query. :unsure:

    Conversion

    Does anyone make a conversion kit to convert an LC9s to .32 Super carry?

    GP100 in .41 Mg.?

    I explored the 10MM when I had a Buckeye Special in 38/40-10MM Auto. It will produce performance better in the Blackhawk than in a semi auto because the pressure can safely be raised higher than factory pressures, but in a DA revolver I much prefer a rimmed case over clips.

    GP100 in .41 Mg.?

    A lot of information to digest. I have been day dreaming all winter about a new cartridge to be between the .357 Mg. and the .41 Mg., and shooting a .384 or so diameter bullet. The stopper is that suitable brass to base the cartridge on is unavailable and also bullets would be a problem. If I...

    GP100 in .41 Mg.?

    Oh, I agree to that, especially in the case of the .357 Mg., since there was no cartridge that was simply called a .357 as a frame of reference. The .38 Special was called a 'special' to separate it from the .38 LC and, I suppose the .38 S&W. But what I am getting at is not so much the...

    GP100 in .41 Mg.?

    While we are talking, I will just throw this out there for the sake of discussion: What, in your mind, constitutes magnum handgun velocity? To me if it won't hit 1200 fps from a 6" bbl, it is not a "magnum." As to the "special" moniker, I don't think any cartridge that won't yield 1000 fps...

    GP100 in .41 Mg.?

    OK, thanks guys. In the winter time I tend to day dream about something that I don't have. 😁

    GP100 in .41 Mg.?

    Has anyone here, or elsewhere for that matter, had a GP100 converted to .41 Mg?

    Ruger .30 super carry in the LC9S frame?

    As I understand it, the .30 Super Carry is the same length as a 9MM, so why doesn't Ruger produce an LC.30 SC? Or if they don't, is it feasible to convert the LC9S to LC .30SC? Maybe an aftermarket conversion?

    Lots of 480 Ruger Alaskans

    I had an Alaskan and also a 7-1/2" Redhawk in 480 Ruger. After a couple of summers of load development and shooting them, I discovered 2 tings: 1) when shooting at the range, 20 shots was enough, and 2) I was getting 1250 FPS with 21 gr's of 2400 and a 365 RNFP bullet when shooting the 7-1/2"...

    GP100 357 mag question on using hard cast lead bullets occasionally

    Shooting cast bullets will not hurt the gun at all. Actually it is easier on the gun than jacketed bullets are. When shooting cast bullets, it is important that the bullets be sized larger than the throats in the cylinder. With .357 bullets plus .001" over throat diameter will give good...

    .375 Revolver ctg?

    I had a .300 Savage that I extended the neck on with a 30/06 reamer and then used government .308 brass run through the .300 Savage die resulting in a .300 Savage with a longer neck. I did the same thing on a .223 so I could use .222 Mg. brass. That allowed me to seat bullets to just short of...

    Another New 32 H&R

    And that can cost you money. Having an extra cylinder eats on gun people until they figure out what to do with it. Hmmmmmm. :unsure:

    Another New 32 H&R

    Maybe he just wanted an extra cylinder for some reason and decided not to go through with whatever he had in mind.
