I got this yesterday:
It's a Safety Hammerless in .32 S&W with a 2" barrel
The serial number is 146XXX.
Can anyone give me an idea of when it was made and a possible value? I couldn't find anything like it on Gunbroker.
TIA.
I agree that some of these must be reloading errors, but there are too many kBs in this caliber - with this particular powder only - by experienced reloaders - to all be reloading errors. Both of the ones I've seen happened with cartridges reloaded on auto-indexing machines, where the chances...
I've seen two .500s (neither one mine) blow up with small-ish charges of Titegroup.
On the other hand, I've personally fired several 1000 rounds of .500 charged with 14-17.5 grains of Titegroup without a hiccup.
I don't doubt that there's something going on with this caliber/powder...
