Up to now, I've always loaded my cartridges to whatever length the reloading manual says. Now I'm about to load some Hornady V Max 60 grain bullets for my Bushmaster Varminter, 24" bbl, 1-9 twist. I know there is a procedure to fine tune cartridge length to a specific rifle. Something about...

Woops energy should be in ft/lbs not fps!

Reloading for 25 years - haven't sealed a primer yet. No problems.

I love my RCBS hand primer - yes I have to do a partial disassembly to insert a shell holder but I don't mind that at all. I usually prep a tray of cases in my little basement corner and then bring them upstairs to prime while watching TV. Just my opinion

I used to have a simple to use bullet energy calculator on my computer. All I had to do was enter the bullet weight and the muzzle velocity and it instantly gave me the energy of the bullet at the muzzle in fps. I lost it! Does anyone have a link? I think it was called something like a...

I wish I had some!

Slow down a 240 grain XTP?? I've never carried a .44 Magnum or for that matter even placed one in my house or car where it might in an emergency become my first response weapon.. But I might. Has any of you reloaders ever tried slowing down a 240 grain XTP to around 1000 fps in an effort to...

You have a serious problem but I will come to your rescue and relieve you of all the stress from which you are now suffering. Send it to me immediately and you will no longer have to worry about all this.

Congratulations! Nice gun and I love the grips.

Hi I am happily acquiring a S&W 29-3 Snubbie. I shoot all my guns and this one will be no exception. It was fired early in its life but not in the last 15 years and never by its current owner. And actually I will probably not shoot more than a couple dozen rounds a year, if that. I reload...

I have an opportunity to buy a Lew Horton model 29 but am ignorant about how a Lew Horton revolver differs from a standard 29. Is it grips and other cosmetic stuff or are there internal improvements that Lew Horton makes? Hopefully some of you better informed guys can help me out here. Thanks...

Maybe - Lew Horton may be beyond my budget but if you send details, pics, and a price I'll sure look it over! Thanks

Looking for a pre-lock S&W .44 Magnum with barrel length 2.5 - 3 inches. The ideal gun would be lightly used with a 2.5" barrel with three groove wood grips, adjustable sights and reasonably priced. Not insisting on any particular model; I think most of these will be 629's but I'm open to a...

OK, I'm losing it but lately I've been thinking I might like a short barreled .44 Magnum. (Pre-lock). I know there is such a thing as a Trail Boss with 3" barrel but are there others such as a standard 29 or 629 with 3" barrels? Anybody own one or have experience with one? Obviously it's...

I like mine!

Too Late - it's gone He who hesitates is lost!! I went to the store this morning and it is already sold.

I have 3 66's with various dashes and love them all. RE your question on 125 grain bullets, the conventional wisdom is not to shoot a whole bunch of them through any Mod 66 - an occasional shot or two is OK. But no need to anyway. You can shoot .38 Special to your heart's content and of...

And I almost forgot - my other 4"66 has Pachmayrs and no wood at all. So......
