Talked to S&W today. They are emailing me prepaid and insured FedEx label. Best case scenario; 3 weeks. Worst case; 10 month.s I've been shooting 45 Colt for years. I've never tried to magnumize the old guy Chip King, especially in the S&W. As I stated before 20,000 psi was my top...

Craig, Thanks for getting back to me on this. I now realize I did leave a few details out. I was shooting over my Oehler 35p and on both occasions, where I did not write down exact velocities, they were over 1500 fps where as the rounds fired in the same string/powder charge were in the 800...

Picked a nice minty 625-9 Mountain Gun in 45 Colt. Mounted a Trijicon RMR on it. Love it. Was out on Saturday testing some loads with a cast 282 gr LBT boolit. In 130 rounds, 2x, a load, one with HS-6 and the other with Power Pistol, had fierce recoil. Enough recoil the gun/shooting hand...

Really? Poor 45 Colt ammo selection? https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=1 Standard and heavy. I realize the N frame is not designed for the heavy loads but it will stand up to the few that you might need in a life or death situation. Alan

If I can find a RM46 Trijicon mount I'm going to try the Trijicon RMR Reflex optic with 12.9 moa green triangle reticle. Alan

Between talking to S&W CS and taking measurements, they say I have 1) have a Lipsey's gun, 2) have the lowest (.126) rear sight already in place and the tallest (.296") front sight they make. He could only advise to speed up my 285 gr bullet or reduce bullet weight. Alan

I just picked up a M625-9 Mountain Gun in 45 Colt. I tried my favorite 285 gr LBT cast WFN bullet and at 25 yds the impact is 4" high even with the rear sight screwed all the way down. I know the issue is the heavy bullet. I know the fix is to either have a taller front sight or a lower rear...

Gun 4 Fun is right. The #217 Handloader issue is the one to get. You can get it through Google so you don't have to pay for it. The article details 285 gr loads for the RCBS SAA 270 gr cast bullet for older 14,000 psi loads, mid level 20,000 psi loads and high end 32,000 psi loads. Since...

About 5+ years back, I owned a 45 MG. I also picked up a 4-5/8" Ruger NMBH in 45 Colt. I was headed to AK on a grizzly hunt and wanted something to comfort me. I worked up loads with the 335 gr LBT WFN and Lil'Gun. Bad move. The higher pressures eventually pounded the MG into submission to...

IMO, that is a great price. I just paid $855 and got a minty 625-9 Mountain Gun on GB. Alan
