I just had the elevation screw strip on a recently aquired model 27- I decided to just replace the whole rear sight assembly and could not find one ANYWHERE for sale. I ended up getting parts at numerich and will be making the repair as soon as they arrive. In reading your post, you may have to...

I had a similar problem with my 686. It was the ejector rod backing out. Gunsmith showed me how to fix it and problem went away- While supporting the gun with one hand, Clamp the ejector rod between two peices of soft pine in your bench vise. Turn cylinder BY HAND until the screw is slightly...

I have a model 28 that I would love to have target hammer and trigger on. I hunt with it and the larger hammer and trigger make a huge difference. Maybe one of you guys out here would know if the parts are interchangeable- If so I would be interested in buying your take offs if they are for sale.

I once owned a 65 that had an action job done on it. The springs had been replaced (main and trigger return) to lighten the pull in double action.Using CCI primers in this gun caused me to have many misfires.CCI stuff was not as sensitive and I had failed to fire issues on 2-3 out of every...

Good replies one and all- Now that I have the press operational it seems to work ok. You really need to get a nice rythym going and don't yank the handle. It has sped up the process but the primer feed really is a weak link. I have read a lot of stuff over the past few weeks regarding the press...

The wife bought me a Lee Pro 1000 reloader for Christmas- Pretty cool until I went to set it up. Powder leaking all over and that started the primer feed jamming issue that is a common complaint across the internet posts I read. Very frustrating and ruined a lot of cases and supplies. Turns out...

Try numerich for a barrel. "The Gunsmith" in Phx Az does great work on Smiths. Guy's name is Nelson and you can find him in the yellow pages. Good luck

Does that load book quoted show a listing for a 250grn wnfpgc or similar using 2400? Trying to find a 2400 load for this bullet from cast performance.

Fair enough.

I have seen that listed for a similar bullet but have never used it.What velocities do you run using a similar weight bullet?

Thanks for the responses: I take back all previous statements regarding this post-I stand corrected

I have been using 2400 in my 57, loading 215 grn Laser Cast bullets.Great groups and low recoil for 1250 + fps. I am looking to work up a lead Elk load and picked up some Cast Performance 250 grn WNFPGC. As the 2400 has been such a great powder for my 57 and all my 357's, I was hoping someone...
