Glad to hear you are doing well Rusty and I'm also glad they didn't accidently remove your funny bone!

I have had a different experience with SPP 45 brass. Started loading SPP cases for my revolvers, still running LPP in my semi's. Took the 25 and 625-4 to range today. Had a powder puff load on my first shot and a weak enough load on the 2nd that the 200 grain plated bullet stuck about an inch...

I converted my 2017 Club Car Precedent from (4) Trojan to (4) Lossigy LifePo4 100AH batteries. Used (4) 12 volt rather than a single 48 volt so I could run lights/accessories off a single battery like you do with the Lead Acid. Bought batteries and charger from Amazon. Cost was around $1,000...

This one is really out of the time range. Serial number S193999 aftermarket nickel. Shipped January 1970! So, no dash guns shipped out a little later than thought;) This one must have been hidden in the back of the frame vault for almost 10 years.

My friend Gerald was the designated venison getter for his constable's precinct in the Lake Houston area of Harris County. In Texas if you hit and kill a deer, you cannot pick it up or dispatch it yourself, must be done by State Game Warden or law enforcement with the GW blessing. Lake Houston...

Bought an unfired 544 earlier this year. Have put about 5-600 rds through it. Pulled it out of safe to take to range tomorrow and checked the action-no resistance to cock in single action. Pulled grips and saw mainspring was sheared about an inch down from hammer hooks. After pulling it from gun...

Loudenbooming and flash and awe. As posters above have referenced shooting through a Blackhawk provides both audible and visual feedback. A screen grab from a slow motion video. All that powder that should be burning in the long barrel has to go somewhere.

Well, I grabbed my Lyman 48th edition Reloading handbook and it shows max of 8 gr Power Pistol for the 180. Guess Alliant online is more liberal with their loads. I had been loading the 180's to (9.3-Online recipe) back before my brothers AR pistol started bulging brass, then dropped to 8.4...

This is what is posted on Alliant's website for the power pistol load. The 40 caliber extreme bullets I am using are miking at .401 with an overall length of 1.248. 10mm Auto180 FMJFederal1.255Fed 150Power Pistol9.31,296- Regardless, I am going to discard all of the 70 pieces of brass shot...

If the bushing is interfering with the cylinder rotation, its only doing it after the shell has been fired. Rotates normally with unfired bullets in place, I cannot feel the bushing protruding with my finger, and I lightly ran a file across it to see if it catches any material and it seems flush...

I had to buy a bench mounted primer seater to seat the Rem 2 1/2 primers. They are all in TIGHT. I bought 10,000 of the primers on the last sale when they were under $60 per K. Have used them on 45 colt hot and medium loads, 44 mag med, 44-40 and 41 mag med loads. Have used 3K and the 10 mm is...

I have 2 guns in 10 mm, a 610-2 and a RIA 1911. Took them to range last week and the 610 cylinder was jamming between shots. Would have to give it a smack with a hard plastic ammo box to unlatch cylinder then it would go back in and rotate normally. Noticed about 5-6 dark primers. The 1911 shot...

Should have done some research first. I see the gas ring is press fit into the cylinder and I do have that on mine.

I did not explain myself too clearly. The replacement yoke is from a model 28 no dash with the U groove, just like my model 28. I think you may be on to something on the extractor rod cocking. There was excess plating on the base of the rod that I thought I had cleaned up. Rod base may need to...

I have a 28 no dash I bought used that was aftermarket nickel plated. Whoever plated it got some plating on the yoke bearing surface the cylinder rides upon. I have removed most of the plating, but cylinder still has a drag on 2 charge holes and the extractor also sticks in this area. I am...
