    Softy .357 mag for early M13-2

    Want to build 2 loads for this gun, one practice and 1 defensive load. Im aware of the forcing cone issue these guns have so I'm focusing on lead 158 grain bullets in the 1,000-ish velocity range. Since the pressure data I'm looking at is in the 23K-ish range I'm hoping that won't beat the gun...

    Help with info for a M13-1

    Dad's unloading some of his collection and I'm getting a 5" Nickel .44 DA First Model and an Iver Johnson .32 top break that I may be giving back to Mom for a nightstand gun.

    "Collectable Gun" Modification a No-No ?

    Have as new in box a M60, first run, non-dash and I'm considering having a orange sight insert done, will this hurt the value of the piece substantially. I DO intend to shoot the gun and probably carry it eventually.

    M642-1 Forcing Cone Angle

    Anyone know what the angle of the cone is on a new M642 ? I'm using the old 158 LSWC-HP and I'm wondering if having it cut at 11 degrees might help accuracy any with this bullet. I'm getting ready to send out for some custom work and trying to decide if this mod is worthwhile or not.
