    Berrys Double Struck Thick plated 240 grain HP 44 Magnum #00208

    Well I have around 400 of these and I want to make use of them. Since they are thick plated and double struck AND I have a couple pounds of 800X sitting around I married the two with 13 grains powder for what I thought would be a moderate load. I do not have a chrono. This was a complete...

    New horse in the stable Marlin 1894s 44 mag

    Stopped by my favorite LGS as they were unpacking a shipment of police confiscations today. Included in this batch was a nice old Browning A5, Winchester 1100, several other long guns, but a lever action rifle with the Marlin bulls eye inlay caught my eye. Turned out to be 44 mag with a JM...

    Sheridan C series blue\silver streak broken pin

    I have an old Sheridan. Was shooting it this evening and noticed a broken pin needs replacing. Any idea where I might find one? This pin holds the pump to the frame where it pivots and is noted as part #2 on the diagram I pulled in the web. See lots of piston repair kits but I just need this pin.

    more issues with SR9c

    Another issues has surfaced with my SR9c. This one is different. While taking the slide off to clean, the rear sight slid right out of its dovetail. I put it back in, but it is loose. Appears to be pinned, but I cannot see how the pin keeps in in place. Anyone have experience with this...

    Pyrodex P FFFG equalivalent

    I want to load some FFFG substitute behind the Berry's 350 grain plated flat points and have never done so before. This would be for my H&R reproduction .45-70 trapdoor. Any hints or tips on this? I have some RP brass and was simply going to fill to slightly compressed with a seated...

    Grabbed H322 when I wanted to reach for H335

    I was thinking in my head H335. Lo and Behold I ended up with H322. This is for .223 loads simply using a standard FMJBT 55 grain either Hornady or Xtreme in a Mini 14. I was really happy with Xterminator but did not see any at LGS so I went for this. I am not going to take it back, it was...

    What variable to change next, or is this about right considering the equipment?

    I have a 182 series Mini 14 made in early 1980's and it is fun to shoot. Ruger tells me it is a 1-10 rate of rifle twist. It has the original factory peep sight. If you have this Mini 14 series then you know the rear sight is not fixed in place. It moves just a little if you grab ahold and...

    Colt Woodsman Match Target front sight issue

    I am somehow missing the front sight on a Colt Woodsman. The frame is stamped "Match Target" with the Colt logo. This has a six inch bbl. In need of the Front Blade and the two pins holding it in. Numrich does not have the exact match for the "Match Target" blade so I am looking at other...

    Range report on my new to me Pardner SB1

    Took the new to me (born 2002) Pardner SB1 16 gauge to the range yesterday and shot it a bit. First all, this shotgun is like brand new clean. Hardly a mark on it and a bore smooth as glass. First up were a box of Herter's #8 dove and quail loads from Cabela's I found. Went 23 for 25 with...

    Wincheste 92 in .44-40 rechambered to .44mag

    I saw a classic 92 .44-40. The owner said it was made in the 1920's and rechambered to .44 mag in the 1970s. Would that not cause problems?? He seemed to think the rifle was fine to shoot stout .44 mags.

    .223 loading

    Hey I just finished the task of trimming up 250 .223 factory fired cases. Trimmed them all to about 1.748. Once done, I am left wondering how often will I need to do that chore? Every few loadings, or every loading? My only firearm shooting them will be an old mini 14.

    Grabbed a 16 Gauge on impulse

    Picked up a Pardner SBI on an impulse buy. Brand new clean for $80 I could not pass up. It's origin is a police confiscation. It looked like it needed a home and for some reason I felt its 28 inch full choke smooth bore barrel could send forster type slugs down range with some level of...
