Appreciate any / all information that can be provided on the Performance Center Model 41 .22 target pistol. Such as: How limited is the production? Will this be the last of the 41's? (I was told it would be.) I was told that 2 older ladies, with many years of...

Never mind. My original post was entered on the misunderstand that your were making bullets. I understand on re-reading your post you were loading ammunition, not making bullets, with your granddaughter. Sharing all aspects of firearms hobby is most enjoyable with children & grandchildren. My...

Find your local recycler. I have purchased all kinds of lead at $.45/lb. That included Monotype, sheet lead for showers, wheel weights, sewer pipe, foundry (pure) lead, cast bullets that only required sizing and lubing, commercial pleated bullets, and even 2 new boxes of Hornady .30 cal...

No where have I seen cast bullets listed here. I have gotten some really good results with 300 grain cast gas check bullets pushed by 32 grains of H110. That is a light load, the book lists 40 grains of H110 max. But I don't feel a need to push it that hard. With plain base cast 300 grain I...

Just bought a S&W .500 Mag. 5 1/2" barrel to go with the 10 1/2" custom shop .500 Mag. and the 8 1/2" .460 Mag. The 5 1/2 set me back $1,081.50 + extortion = {(tax) to support the drug addicts, welfare bums & their illegitimate kids, crooked politicians, and asunder other bottom feeders.} I...

Once a dealer does the price gouging, I will no longer deal with them. I view them as dishonest & unethical. I arrived at Wal-Mart at 05:00 in the middle of a snow storm and -0- degree temperature to buy .22 ammo. Two 100 boxes of Winchester Super X = $8.37 each, one 1,000 box of Winchester...

What ever you do, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, buy cheap. I made that mistake way back in 1967 buying Herter's 'C' press dies and equipment. Cheap, you betcha. 2 years later I gave it all away and purchased RCBS. If you do not have the money to purchase top quality, save up until you do have enough...

I agree, them there Yugo's are great cars.

Could not let this go by w/o comment. For years I held the 'plastic' guns in lowest of esteem. Then in 2007 was afforded the opportunity of participating in multi departmental NRA training to certify LEO instructors. Of the 25 participants, about 15 or more used Glocks. I do not recall a single...

A 4" .500 S&W Mag. OR, a 4" .460 S&W Mag. OR a 625 .45 Colt 6 1/2"

Excellent! Good to see another dedicated caster. Good looking mold & bullets too. Like you I spent a week+ casting in the garage and about week sizing & lubing, just finished today, the 26th Dec. (Garage totally converted to 3 safe gun room, 12' loading bench and shelving) 405gr .45-70...

While there is a large stockpile of lead for bullet casting, it is finite. The last lead mine in the United States is closing as of 31-Dec-13. Thank your tree hugging democrat environmentalist. Bullet prices will begin to clime faster and higher than they have in the past and ultimately be...

Just to add and interesting note on the Max. I chronographed the exact same 158 jacket bullets pushed by 17 grains of 2400 side by side during lunch break at the Kansas City PD Range in 1999(+/-) using a Ruger 7.5 inch revolver and a T/C 10 inch barrel single shot. Velocities were higher in...

I was paid $50.00 to take a 66-4, sort of. Bought a National Ordnance 1903-A3, Dan Wesson Model 15, and the 66-4 for $400.00 Sold the A-3 for $300.00, the Dan Wesson for $150.00, = 66-4 free +$50.00. The 1903-A3 was absolute JUNK and I just did not like the obsolete Dan Wesson. The S&W 66-4...

Just looked it up on CD of 2012 Blue Book of Gun Values. In 98% it is listed at $800.00, 95% at $650.00. They were made only in 1991&2. All that said, if a collector really really wants THAT particular somewhat rare gun it could be worth more, one thing for sure, you got an excellent buy. Were...
