I need the assembly.

I've looked all over. Can anyone help me?

I need one badly. Can anyone help?

She sure does shoot good, but way too high. I'll replace with a solid black one, if i can.

Yeah, I'm bottomed out, and its shooting about 4.5" high at 20 yds Load is 10grs Unique and a 255 SWC HP

I need a higher front sight for my Smith 69. Will any Smith ramp front work? What size punch to knock out that tiny pin? Should I drive the pin left to right, or right to left? thanks

I have a very nice one. I'd call it 90%. I'd like $650 shipped to your FFL holder. I will take photos if you are serious.

Fred, that looks like a damn nice bullet. Is that the Devistator?

I have been shooting 280s informally. Seems accurate, out to 100 yds anyway. I have not posted results, as its too cold to get out chronograph and deal with targets. All shooting been done at rocks, etc. Veral Smith likes the 280, as an all around bullet in both the Special and the Magnum. Ross...

One eyed Joe, Agreed on most of what you said about Elmer. However, the FIRST bullet he designed for it weighed 280 grains. He claimed it a great killer. He redesigned the nose for better long range accuracy, NOT to make it lighter. 250gr was what he ended up with.

mtgianni, what is your favorite load with the 429421? Does it use Unique, or 2400?

Fred, the point is efficiency. In the magnum case. I've shot everything from 215s to 300s. I keep going back to 280s. I'm wondering if the same won't be true in the special. I'm really liking 280s and wondering if anyone else is shooting them.

Fredj338, nothing wrong with our load at all.

I'm not interested in pushing them at .44 mag velocities, just good .44 special velocities.

Is anyone here loading heavy (270-300 gr) bullets in the .44 special here?
