Anyone loading these for a model 36? I found them to be quite pleasant to shoot and easy to load. Shooting standard 38 Spl loads was unpleasant so I loaded some of these with 125 grn bullets. That's my standard load now for the range. Not sure why the ammo manufactures haven't caught on to this...

I'm interested in acquiring one of these. Just now starting to research the model as I know very little about them. I started working as a surveyor in AZ around 72 and a guy I worked with had one. I've had lots of Smiths but never had a .22 revolver. So now I'd like to have a 34-1 and shoot...

I think I'm going to cut down some 38 spl cases and load a few for my model 36 just to pass some time on these dark, cold, wet winter days.

I'm contemplating buying a 45-70. Probably an 1885 of some sort. I'm recoil sensitive so if I do buy one I'll be reloading for it in the trap door range using 405 gr or lighter lead. I've seen some data published using 2400 and I have that on hand. I also have a good quantity of brass. What I...

A friend has a truck load of reloading stuff from an estate. I went through it looking for primers but didn't find any small pistol. The guy who owned this stuff was primarily a magnum rifle shooter but had lots of 44 mag components. I don't own a 44 mag or any magnum rifles but recently...

I just purchased a 28-2 that needs to be refinished. I haven't seen it yet but it but photos show some bluing loss. I was wondering if anyone here has had S&W refinish a 54 yo revolver recently. I just want it back to original as close as I can get it. I'm sure I can find someone locally to do...

I'm looking at a Heritage Special 24-5 with gorgeous case colors. Did Turnbull Restorations do the case colors on those? I know there were only 150 made and some weren't case colored. Somebody will know the answer I'm sure.

Just curious if anyone has had S&W drill the top strap of a model 24 for a red dot mount? I know the new models come from the factory to accommodate a plate. I have one on my 625-8. Seems like it would be a fairly easy job. I know Ruger will do it for a MKII because they did one for me. Not sure...

I was reading the American Rifleman and came across this Winchester rifle. I recognized it right away. It was the first rifle I owned. My dad gave it to me when I was around 13 as a birthday present, probably around 1962. I had the youth model with a shorter barrel and stock. I shot a lot of...

I just started my search for a model 24 (1950). I like the 50-67 time frame revolvers so not really looking at the later 24's. I don't want a LNIB collector grade revolver. I don't even care about a box. I found one that's about 85% built in 1954 and the condition looks to be good. Price is...

I'm looking at a model 24 on a website. It's advertised with a 3" barrel but it has square target grips on it. I know they made those with 4" barrels but I don't think I've ever seen one with a 3" barrel. Did someone measure the barrel incorrectly or did those actually come from S&W with 3"...

I'm trolling for a few hundred pieces of 45-70 brass. I have some brass I can trade. Some range brass with mixed head stamp and some new. This is what I have. 44 Mag new 44 Mag range mixed 44 Special new 45 ACP range mixed 38 Special range mixed 30 Carbine range mixed 9 mm range mixed If...

I just removed my rear sight and put a red dot on my 625-8. There were two unused drilled and threaded holes in the top strap which I assume were for a scope mount. When I bought that gun red dots weren't popular. With those holes I was able to mount a plate for a Vortex Venom RD. I just...

I'm having issues with bullets creeping out of the cases when I shoot my 625-8. Nothing major, just one or two every 50 rds or so. I'm using Bayou coated 240 gr lead and a LFC die to crimp. This has been going on awhile and the last batch of ammo I built I put a pretty heavy taper crimp on all...

I have a few thousand saved up buy a 44 spl. I want to shoot this gun a bit and have something that won't decrease in value over the next 10 years. I reload so I can build any ammo I need to match the pressure requirements of the gun. There seems to be some model 24's to be had so I've been...

After watching some listings on a few sites it seems these are being sold rapidly. I'm just curious why as the 44 mag isn't exactly a mild cartridge to shoot and it isn't cheap either. I found some ammo for about 2 bucks/rd. Just a few years ago they were a lot less expensive to buy. What's...
