    4 5/8 Super Blackhawk too short?

    4 5/8" SBH works well A 4 5/8" barrel on the SBH makes for a great packing gun. Mine shoots well, has stout ,but controllable recoil. My 4 5/8" Flattop BH in 44 special gets far more use though, better balance, lighter weight, and if you reload will do 90% of what the magnum can do. The SBH due...

    Thoughts on a 44

    4" Tracker 44 Mag. Took the tracker to the range yesterday. I put it through its paces alongside my Ruger Flat top. It did quite well, although I plan on doing a trigger jog. Comparing it to my Flat top Bisely probably isn't quite fair, but it held its own. Trigger aside it ran well. I fired 44...

    Thoughts on a 44

    When I first posted this thread, I had just gotten my 44 flat top. Since then, I really have taken to the 44 spec. Ctg. I decided that I needed (wanted) a light carry DA 44 spec. for a kit/CCW gun. The Charter guns were a bit frail for the loads I wanted to use. I finally settled on two guns ...

    Thoughts on a 44

    Affordable and accurate 44 special I guess that I'm afflicted with OGRS(old guy revolver syndrome) myself. Even though I have several 44 mags., I just couldn't resist the Ruger flat top black hawk Bisely 44 special. Its a distributor only model that Lipseys has Ruger build for them. I can't...

    Is .327 Federal Mag Still Viable?

    327 ammo Since the 327 is nothing more than a stretch version of the 32 H&R, which itself is a stretch version of the 32 S&W long and 32 S&W etc etc. There are five different ammos that will shoot safely in it. If you check on line, you'll find some kind of ammo to shoot. When reloading, you...

    Is .327 Federal Mag Still Viable?

    The 327 needs a double action I also believe the K frame would be almost perfect for the 327. The sp101 should be revived as a 6 or seven shot, with 3, 4, and 5 1/2 barrels.

    Is .327 Federal Mag Still Viable?

    Women may be the 327's biggest supporter I don't quite understand all the comparison of the 327 and the 357. The 357 is considered obsolete and overkill by most law enforcement agencies. When it was a standard, most carried it with 38 specials. In actual use, most officers used 38 specials for...

    Is .327 Federal Mag Still Viable?

    Versatility will be the 327's strong suit From the 32S&W mouse fart loads for shooting rats in the barn, to the 32 long which seems to drive tacks and women find charmingly docile, to the 32 H&R as the best all around small game load, then the 327 Federal high pressure monster with no recoil...

    Love my 32's

    Believe the Single Seven is a winner! My second Single Seven, a 7 1/2, is paid for. Just have the 10 day wait now. I don't believe how many guys are buying more than 1. The 5 1/2 is quite a shooter, with almost anything. This is the 32-20 for the 21 st century. Factory 100 gr. loads are in...

    Love my 32's

    My 32 stable I guess I'm not the only 32 lover. I've had my Single 7 for about two weeks. The 32 H&Rs I had since 1985. Love the accuracy of the little cartridge.The load fired at 1260 fps with 85 gr XTP , 11.5 grs Lil gun. 1 1/2 " at 25 yds

    Love my 32's

    I have a long standing love affair with the 32 caliber revolver. Started in 1985 with my first 32 H&R Single six. I still have big bores, but I really love going through 400 rds of 32 in an afternoon and not ending up with a case of the flinches. Great caliber to transition to center fires from...

    Colt 3-5-7

    Same as mine I have got a model 3-5-7 4" as well. Bought it from a retired California Highway patrolman in 1995 for $175. Mine has a great deal of holster wear, but the double action is butter smooth. Inside of cylinders still are blue, as I don't think he fired anything but 38 specials in it...

    Creating .270 win rounds for Ruger American

    follow std operating procedures I've got a Ruger American in .270 that I reload for. Make sure your cases are trimmed for length, full length resized the first time, neck sized after that, and you should be fine. [/IMG]. Thought I'd show you what kind of 100 yd groups I'm getting.(.875 ctr. to...
