    460 S&W reloading issue

    What Ruggy wrote has nothing to do with what I am learning about reloading thanks to this cartridge. I do respect what Ruggy has written. He seems to know a lot. What you wrote has nothing to do with my problem. I respect what you wrote. But neither of you is thinking outside the box. You have...

    460 S&W reloading issue

    I am trying to find out if anybody has had issues downloading H110/296 or LilGun and over pressure that is what I am getting at. Basically when I got below 90 percent of what Hodgdon recommended I had what looked like pressure issues and the chronograph was sorta backing it up. The difference...

    S&Ws Unsafe Cylinder gap

    Lets see 65,000 PSI with a cylinder gap of .009 and getting hit in the face with Debris. Lessen the cylinder gap to .005 and 65,000 PSI is no longer able to throw debris at my face. Simple science really the Debris is clearly larger than .005. As for adjusting the barrel gap real easy. A life...

    460 S&W reloading issue

    I have been reloading for over 40 years and never run into the issue I am having with my 460 mag. Years ago I was at the local range and a guy with a lever gun blew himself up. The round in the barrel split the chamber with enough violence to cause the rounds in the tube to go off and his left...

    S&Ws Unsafe Cylinder gap

    I have a 460 performance center with 10 inch barrel that came with .009 cylinder gap. S&Ws tolerances say .010 is OK. From the moment I started shooting it I was being hit in the face every few shots with debris. I thought it was bouncing off of the brake. I adjusted the gap so I now have a...

    Dissapointment With performance Center

    I was told with the 460 PC gun there is not any spring replacement at all. It is the same springs as the regular gun only difference is barrel, shroud, and brake. They told me this when I asked to buy the regular 460 springs. Changing the cylinder gap from .009 to 005. Made the gun motivate...

    S&W Warranty service...Turnaround time?

    Hopefully for you they are faster with guns then they are with Gemtec suppressors. They have had my GM 22 now for about 6 months. I call every now and then. They know what needs to be done since I informed them of what needed to be done and they agree and I approved it because I know there will...

    Dissapointment With performance Center

    My 460 Performance Center with 10 inch barrel. I first need to say this firearm I bought second hand. From what I could tell it had very little use and appeared to be in great shape. After shooting it I learned very quickly why they sold it. I got it out of Cabelas so I did not meet the previous...

    460 S&W Measuring Up

    Hey Ruggy. I called and went by the gunsmith in Carson you suggested I have yet to get a hold of him. While in Carson I talked to another gunsmith and he was of no use to me. Today I was staring at my 460 and the next thing I knew the Frame,Barrel shroud, and brake were in separate areas of the...

    460 S&W Measuring Up

    Ruggy when the weather gets better I will give LiLGun another try with the 300gr XTE Mags and the Deepcurls. I may not have given it enough of a chance. My notes say I got sticky extraction with the 300gr XTE Mag bullet over 39gr LiLGun WLR Mag primers 1600fps. But H110, IMR 2227, 1680, CFE BLK...

    How Short or Long for .223?

    The only issue I have had with too long or short brass is on bullets with a cannelure. As long as they can be crimped in the cannelure and maintain COAL I have not had any issues. As for your cases that are too short if there is no cannelure on the bullets the crimp die needs to be adjusted...

    Really enjoyed Vanishing Point as a teenager and now at 60 it is safe to assume I am a dessert rat. So the dessert with fast cars I might enjoy watching it again. Have not seen it since then but I did see a old music video recently featuring scenes from the movie. As I recall deliver a car in...

    357 Lever Guns

    I have heard that rumor also. Only problem I bought a Marlin 1894 Microgroove back in the 80s. From day one I have been shooting .358 diameter cast bullets through it with no problems in accuracy. Like any gun likes some loads better and some loads a little less. Recently I decided to quiet it...

    Why I don’t like Christmas....

    What I dont like about Xmas is people insisting on buying me **** I dont need. I am a single guy and basically if it is under $100 and I want/need it I already have it. And since they cant afford to buy things that have words such as "Diesel or Beltfed with a tax stamp" in the description it is...
