    Why a revolver?

    I can't add much to all of the advice given on a wheel gun. I have never had a revolver stove pipe. I have tried a lot of semi autos, I managed to make all of them stop functioning some how. I am done. If you see me with one it will be for sale. I had to use a lot of self restraint this past...

    357 Maximum

    Measure your frame width to reference grip frame width. I have one that is a shooter that was converted, grip frame is a bit narrow.

    How much variation between different loads...

    There are lots of good powders that will cover a wide area of cartridges. You mention 41 magnum as what you shoot the most. I got a late start playing with the 41 magnum. Longshot is the powder I have come to like for midrange and upper midrange loads. It has been outstanding for speed and...

    Match Champion questions

    Now that these have been around for a while, is there anything over and above a regular GP, that one could not "bolt on" for them selves. (Making their own match champion so to speak) I ask this because of my findings of a SW 625JM. I know of several folks local to me that also bought them. All...

    .44 Magnum issues???

    If one were to be heavy handed enough to scratch the bore with a pin gauge, they sure have no place around a firearm with a hammer and a lead round ball.

    .44 Magnum issues???

    Sounds like thread choke to me. I am not a fan of shooting out leading, if it works for ya great.

    Hunter Sights

    I will throw in what I have found, playing the same game you are. Repeatability is the main thing. I would get a dial indicator and a magnetic base. Bottom your sight out, zero. Then get the paper and pencil out. You can use either the detent or the hash mark on the screw, which ever you...

    When Are Loads 'Right' for Revolver ?

    Don't over analyze it. Making some thing relatively easy hard. If you so desire to measure everything keep in mind each cylinder should be numbered.

    Blackhawk in Blackout?

    Since you listed the Blackhawk as the platform,my 32/32-20 Buckeye will run right with a 30x221. 32-20 load as a modern round, much like a 45 Colt or 45-70, is no slouch. I have not messed with the 30 carbine, but it should be able to keep up as well. I use a 140 PB I cast myself,my he clip...

    Federal 22lr ammo

    Automatch play on words. I saw nothing match about it. I snagged up a case of the CCI standard when midway had it on sale last month, about the same price I paid for it 10 years ago. I came to expect more from 22's than I did as a youngster. I moved ALL of my junk ammo when the hoarders were...

    reloading 204 Ruger ?

    Might be my lot of 4895, but mine got spikey and blew primers off and on. I am working on trying to use the extreme powders now.

    A SBH Hunter coming - looking for cast lead load suggestions

    I saw your pics at CB. As mentioned there, raise the die up in the press. Bell the case mouth enough so it will hold a bullet Take that case, no bullet, raise the case up into the die. It may knock some of the belling off, but shouldn't take it all off. Once you get that set, then put your...

    A SBH Hunter coming - looking for cast lead load suggestions

    No offense on the ball thing. I have to admit I will watch some college ball, very very little though. I have never had much if any interest in any kind of ball games. Spent all of my spare time outdoors in the quite. I am about 25-30 minutes from Lawrance. FYI your wheel gun comes with a...
