Wow, lots of good info here. For what it's worth here's my $0.02 worth. My first foray into BP was an 8" Uberti 1858 Remington replica I got from Cabelas. It's still one of my favorites and a beautiful shooter so you're off on the right foot. I use 20-25 grains of Goex FFFg with...

Has anyone found a "serious" .357 load using Trail Boss? IMR says max load is 4.2 gr. I tried 4.0 behind a 158 gr LRNFP and it felt like a light .38 target load. How much do I have to use to get the flame-throwing performance of a factory .357 load? Should I be using a different powder or is...

Thanks, will do. Right now it's half original grips, half new anyway. I'll try to get 'em up in the AM.

Trying to replace grips After much reading of reviews, I recently purchased a blued Taurus 1911. I also purchased a set of Cocobolo grips from http://www.woodgrips.com/, but I've run into a small problem. In backing out the upper screw on the RH side, it unscrewed the threaded insert in the...
