Alliant BE-86 is a good powder for 357 Mag and sells for less than 2400 or Blue Dot.

For S&W revolver side plate screws get the brownells 4 in combo 080-087-004WB or just the bit set 080-087-002WB.

I like it. I call that thinking outside of the dumpster.

Could the barrel and frame be rust blued without taking them apart?

Gunbroker has worked well for me as both a buyer and seller. To determine actual market values I search the completed auctions and sort by the number if bids. This is the true market value that is determined by willing buyers and sellers. As a buyer I ignore auctions with a reserved price. I...

gwpercle is right on the slow rust blueing method. I have used it on several handguns and long guns. It is the most wear resistant blue and produces a fine satin luster. All the old Parker and LC Smith shotgun barrels were done that way. Be sure to only use distilled water for boiling.

Semi wad-cutters can be loaded backwards for revolvers. They will be boat-tail wad cutters and will cut clean holes in the target.

Mixed brass will work well for most purposes out to 300 yd. This past Saturday I shot a 200 yd. rapid fire service rifle score of 198-9X with match bullets, metered ball powder and mixed brass. Those two shots in the nine-ring were all me.

If you are going to get pin gauges be sure to get 0.0003 minus set.

Attached are a few pictures of reloading supplies at Camp Perry last month. There was plenty of Varget at $140/8 lb. I did not need any Varget. I got a good deal on Win-231, BE-82, BL-C(2), and large pistol primers.

"CDC" means, 'Center for Disease Control'.

You got a good one.

My S&W model 27-9 had the same short sight base screw and blast marks on the cylinder. This minor issue is easily corrected. Order a ten-pack of Forster Slotted Oval .200" Diameter Head Screws 6-48, Blue from MidwayUSA, $6.39. Forster Slotted Oval .200 Diameter Head Screws 6-48 Blue...

With optics, you usually get what you pay for. I use the Optivisor while checkering gunstocks. It works great. I would hate to checker without it. I got mine from Brownells. OPTIVISOR OPTIVISOR | Brownells

There is no way to measure pressure without strain gauges or receiver ported for crushing copper cylinders.

A 45 caliber convertible Ruger Blackhawk may suit your purpose. No moon clips are needed.

I have an electronic digital caliber. I will measure the coil thickness as you have suggested. Thanks.

I have tuned a number of K, L, and N frame revolvers. I now have a small bag full of main springs and rebound springs. Two thirds of them are stock S&W springs. The others are unidentified reduced rated Wolf and Wilson springs. These things are cheap enough but I would still like to identify...

Good news. Everything works fine as long as the moon clips are no thicker than 0.036 to 0.038”. The Ranch Products clips work great. I will be getting some more of those. The thicker clips are unusable in this revolver.
