For the last few weeks I have been feeling a soreness in the base joint of my thumb and the base and middle joint of my middle finger. It comes and goes and It just dawned on me that my shooting hand may have started to become arthritic. I have noticed that as I push 60 recoil is more of an...

Been thinking about this a bit and was wondering what thoughts everyone has on this. My thoughts are as follows: For a revolver a .32 Cartridge that falls between the .32 H&R which has been sort of loaded down and left behind by ammo makers and the .327 Federal. A round that will consistently...

I know a few here are playing with this new available powder trying to find good combinations. I shared this info in my 158 SWC thread but figured it might be seen by more here. This is today MBC 240 Keith Bullet Coated, 5.2 Grains Win244, Remington .44 Special Brass and CCI LPP. Group is 45...

Just received my order today. I have my regular loads for 158 SWC (normally RimRock) lead. The loads are either Win244 3.8 Grains and Win 231 3.5. Either should work but I thought I would ask to see if anyone has a specific load with that bullet and those powders threat they really like...

I have my new CZ 457 ready for a range trip. I have a few hundred of each of the following rounds: Aquila Match, Aquila Sub Sonic, Remington Target, Norma Tac 22. I plan on trying each to see which shoots the best. For the purpose of testing are there any other brands that are good 40 Grain...

I am in the market for a .22 rimfire bolt action rifle. I have given away my last Classic but need one in the safe. Price range is $350 tops without optics. Use will be field and fun but mostly 50 yard bench rest occasional informal precision shooting. I would love a 16.5/18” or so heavy...

I have been to two gun shows in the last 6 months. Factory Ammo seems to be coming back, prices are what they are. I have noticed the distinct absence of anything surplus. It was always where I bought in bulk for my rifles and on occasion some handgun. Just wondering if anyone knows why this...

Every 6 months I shoot off my carry ammo from my most used carry guns, a S&W Model 638, Ruger LCP and Kahr CM9. I have never had an ammo related issue with any of these guns and I figured that this is a good rotation. I shoot these guns much more but with generic range ammo usually. Today I...

I came up with some nice shooting 100 Grain DEWC loads using this powder, 1.8 for the old guns 2.0 in the H&R’s. Both shoot well. I am struggling with this powder for the other bullets which are RimRock 100 RNFP and a few hundred 76 Grain RN. The factory data is just not there nothing even...

My impulse buy of the quarter! It needed a home. Wanted a shooter grade gun, this it appears to be! Thoughts and opinions are welcome.

Looking at the RCBS Pro-2 Kit or the Lyman AccuTrimmer Kit. Both on sale at Midway. Need to trim some .38/.357 and .44 Mag Brass. I have RCBS Carbide Trim Dies for all rifle cartridges but have never needed to trim straight walled pistol cartridges before. Dipping into my range pickup...

Gun is ordered (CA Professional), RimRock 100 Grain RNFP’s and DEWC’s on the way. RCBS dies are on the bench. I have Unique and Win244 available but open to other suggestions powders are starting to show up again. So what are your favorite target loads. I will never carry this gun just...

This is what 5.0 Grains of Win244 behind a ExtremeX 158 Grain Plated SWC looks like. No chronograph but estimated 1100 fps 6” S&W Model 66-2. Two handed unsupported 50 Feet. Very mild load. Fun to shoot. I have been seeing quite a few powder posts lately. So far in .38, .44 Special...

Has anyone picked one up yet. I like the 3” barrel and overall look of it. It’s got me a bit intrigued but other then sponsored reviews I have yet to see any unbiased reviews.

https://rimrockbullets.com/xcart/-44-260-gr-keith-swc-fb-per-500.html Hey all. I finally ran out of my Lyman 429421 cast bullet stash of many years. Being a fan of RimRock Bullets I ordered up some of these. As usual the quality is outstanding. They are advertised as a Keith Bullet. A...

I found this on an Ebay search. If it obviously for a Top Break Revolver. Not much information on the listing but I figured someone here would appreciate this. BTW: I have no relationship personal or financial with the seller. Pretty Cool! Vintage Wesson & Harrington Revolver Coin Purse...

Question. I am watching a set of RCBS .32 Long dies. They are labeled .32 Long RN. I assume they are older than the advent of .32 H&R Magnum. Do these dies have enough adjustment in them to produce .32 H&R Magnum.

I used to search shows and shops for boxes of old classic rounds like .32 (Colt, S&W Long and short). A few different .38 calibers as well for like $1 or $2. I sold them all off over the years to friends who knew where to come for an odd gun or revolver. Most of that stuff has dried up and...

I would love to pick up an old top break. .32 S&W, Long .38 S&W doesn’t matter. I have never picked one up because I want a shooter (at least something that will shoot safely) and have no clue what to look for. What are the Models to look for that are safe with smokeless powder (other than...

Range was full today, no open shooting lanes. Quite a few shooters with dusty guns coming out of the closet for the first time in a while or ever. Same can be said for ammo purchases. In my short period of observation everyone walked out with a few fresh boxes. Not a bad thing in my book but...
