That's it JohnBT.....if I can just find out a bit more....figure it's got to be since 72....?

I recently bought a Stevens Model 72, octagon barrel, Stevens Model 72 stamped on the barrel, the receiver does not have the case hardening color though and has an engraving of a squirrel on an oak limb on each side of the receiver...was in pretty good shape, Shoots great, just have not found an...

Bought one to use teaching Pistol class, needed an inexpensive Double Action Revolver. Bought it at a pawn shop for $140.00 in excellent condition...absolutely perfect for my purpose and a fun shooter to boot. Seems to be solid, easy to shoot in single action, trigger pull in double is...

It was the first time I used "Blazer" ammo, I'll clean it up again and try some different ammo. The pistol has a light trigger pull, easy to double tap anyway, but it was firing 2-3 rounds unpredictably...a bit disconcerting!

I could use some advice....got an older Ruger MKII Gov't model...been shooting it a great deal lately. I have never had any problems, other than I shot it till the sights fell off, literally. Okay thougb, I wanted to put a fiber optic set on...Anyway, the last time I shot it, I would have 2-3...

Thanks, will give it a shot.

Thanks...they're listed in the "specials" on the Berry's site. Also wondered if they would work in a .30 carbine. Diameter is same as Sierra 110gr .308 round nose....shape is different?

Just bought a pile of 112gr Berry's for 7.62x39 on a special. The only load I could find used 16 to 16.5gr of 2400. They fire just fine but will not cycle in my Mini 30, making it into basically a bolt action....tried 16gr and worked up to 16.5gr...no cycle? Any suggestions other than shooting...

Maybe nickel plated brass...just less shiny...almost like a matte finish?

Picked up some Speer .45 acp and .40 S&W casings at local Law Enforcement Range yesterday with unusual finish. At first thought they were aluminum, but too heavy and a little brighter, almost like a matte finished nickel, not steel, checked them with a magnet. Looked on Speer's website, to no...
