Not real cold here, never lower than low teens F. My first duty station (Indio) was quite warm, and the east and south ends of the Coachella Valley was extremely humid due to agriculture,...

I have one of the Mark II 22/45 variants with 5.5" barrel, and it is a fine shooter. One hell of a lot of pistol for the money, in my view.

Colt Bisley SAA--4.75"--32-20 WCF

Ruger Bisley Blackhawks--both 7.5"--357 Mag and 45 Colt

Ruger Blackhawk--6.5"--41 Mag

Repro Colt open top cap & ball revolvers--1849 x 31, 1851 and 1861 x...

Murphy's Law also gets no plea bargains.

Most 32 ACP's are blowback-operated, so lack of locking surfaces in this pistol would be typical. I haven't handled one of these--that lockwork drop-out of the Toks is a good design element, I...

The CZ-52 is one of three pistols I have in 30 Mauser/7.62 x 25 Tokarev. The others are a rebuilt Broomhandle parts gun, and a ChiCom Type 54 Tokarev TT-30/33.

With Starline brass available...

The 410 bore isn't just for kids--I use one (Rem 870) for doves and quail quite a bit. The 3" shells and #9 shot do all right to about 35 yards. The kids like the critter for shooting clays out in...

I'm involved with a similar project involving the 7 RemMag--trying to turn it into a 7 x 57 with accuracy. Sierra 150's and IMR-4350, WC-860 if the loading density is right, and IMR 4320 are on the...

One other possible solution--exactly the opposite of Old Gunner's recommendation (which I agree with, BTW)--would be to partially full-length size the cases already fired in the Savage's chamber. ...

Follow-up......for the 2nd year running, I won the informal "Cast Boolit/Group" portion of the NCBS 2005 with a 5-shot group of 1.00" a few days ago. Wind and a hangover of about 6.0 on the Richter...

Bass--

Oh, I have a few handguns to choose from--no problem with the recommended prescription! The only "side effect" is the response from She Who Must Be Obeyed when a new toy lands--she has...

The RCBS Cast Bullet Manual shows 13.0 grains-15.0 grains of 2400 as their usage range with the 95 grain SP boolit.

Good luck!

I found a VERY good load for my Rem 788 x 243--RCBS 95 grain SP atop 12.0 grains of 2400. Not a screamer, but it shoots very well and knocks the daylights out of varmints. I won an informal...

I am a true admirer of revolvers, and despite nearly 20 years of use of autopistols as service sidearms I still consider the revolver to be my "default setting" when it comes to an all-purpose...

I have a similar question on an old and much-used Rem 788 in 22-250. The throat is "weatherbied" to the point that cartridge OAL needs to be at 2.410" in order to be .020" off the leade, this with...

All right--it's up and running. Nicely done.

I'll browse around and start trouble as needed. :-)
