I shoot a CZ .40 for IDPA so I just load .40 by the bucket and use it in both the CZ and my 610. It lives in the safe next to a 1006 so I now have two options for making 10mm fireballs in the indoor range. I also have a 686, 627, 617 and am looking for a 625 so I am not the one to provide...

Thanks everyone for the education. Since the MIM hammer is likely contributing to the currently acceptable trigger quality I will probably keep it unless I trip over a cheap forged one in serviceable condition. John

I have a 1006 in the THB serial number range that has what appears to be a stainless MIM hammer. I have never seen one like this so I was wondering if this might be a replacement part from some service event or is it possible it actually was made this way. It works just fine but I have to say it...

I just picked one up that is exactly as yours is described with a CMC serial number less than 20 away so I would say it's original. I bought mine as a "oddly refinished" gun only to find out it was completely stock and just so unusual that neither I nor the seller had a clue. The info that I got...

Just a reminder. Once you think the chamber is clean drop a round in. It should fall freely with a satisfying clunk sound at the end. If it doesn't then the chamber isn't clean. 99% of light strikes during more than a decade of our .22 Bullseye league were due to dirty chambers. Of course if...

Ultradots can be mounted without modification. As a Bullseye shooter I find the tube sights more accurate than the new Doctor/Fastfire types. Mine is mounted on a BME rear sight adapter mount that required no additional machining. I was worried about durability and stability but I mounted the...

Grooveless .38 brass? That's a new one. I'm sure someone got a bonus for saving a few cents a box. That's annoying but not as bad as the small primer .45 ACP brass. I usually check my brass pretty well but I fear the day I manage to grab one off the floor with all of mine without noticing and...

Pete, Thanks for the offer to look into the model 66 but I think I have a new plan.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to provide such a detailed response. I think you have covered all the bases. As the 686 is primarily fed .38 WC loaded from a 10 gallon bucket of mystery brass and is not for competition the loading block and a speed loader solution is a winner. That also...

After shooting my new 610 I am hooked on the moon clips. Now I would like a 6" .357 as well but I am not sure what the best plan is. The easiest would be to modify a bone stock 6" 686 no dash that was my dad's but I am much too attached to it to permanently modify it in any way. So that means a...

RDub, thanks for the link. Lots of good info there. Must have taken forever to get all that data. John

Thanks to all for the advice. I just got hold of some Blue Dot and will give it a go in the near future.

I am a longtime Bullseye shooter and plinker so my load development skills are more towards the accurate and/or cheap side of things so I have minimal experience at the "Do not exceed" end of the load charts . That said, for occasional use I want to work up a safe but nearer the limit 10mm load...
