    Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

    Perhaps everyone did. And now I do to:) And I agree completely about 89 not being old. I was twenty sumthin around that time. My surprise was more at the amount of time that weapon; and many like it, remained in service at a particular company before being retired. But then again I am not...

    Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

    Thank you Rad. I would not have guessed it was that old given the condition. Guess I was lucky to find it.

    Chrony Data

    Just got a chrony last week and took it out for a test run to see how my reloads are doing. Everything went well and I now have some averages for the various recipes I shot that day. Question is, what to do with that information? I see how it would be important for working with max loads, but so...

    "squib like" loads

    I haven't cleaned my die for several reloading sessions so i doubt there's any oil in it but i suppose anything's possible. I did look at the brass and it did appear to have a little more residue on the exterior than usual, but otherwise nothing remarkable, no unburnt powder from what i...

    "squib like" loads

    Goose mentioned that powder can clump if sits a while in the hopper. Mine never sits beyond a reloading session but i wonder if high heat or humidity can cause this as well? Ridgeway - I also have a small light attached but I admit I dont look 100 percent of the time. Could be that those two...

    "squib like" loads

    230 gr LRN / Missouri Bullet Company 4.2 gr BullsEye CCI 300 primers loaded on a Lee Classic Turret press. I appreciate the feedback and I certainly do not rule user error, but I wanted to ask in case there is something i haven't considered.

    "squib like" loads

    I was shooting earlier today and encountered two "squib like" loads I've not yet seen. The bullets cleared the barrel but the charge was obviously under powered. Felt like and sounded like squibs but technically they were not. My question is what might cause this? I've loaded several thousand...

    Brass

    Well i read through their website and they do not guarantee its once fired. I pay similar prices for once fired from a reliable source so i'll probably stick to that. They mention getting brass from temp controlled indoor ranges and im not sure why they make a point to mention they are climate...

    Best place to buy a handgun online

    I'll second sportingarms.com if you're in the DFW area because their prices are at or a little below most other online sellers. I now use them for price checks on whatever I happen to be drooling over at the moment.
