    .45acp/255gr Hardcast

    I loaded 6 with 7gr Herco to try in my chopped 5" 1950 S&W 255gr .452 SWCBB seated to the crimp groove but not crimped. I tried them in the old wheelie without clips. The recoil was strong but not brutal and the cases came out easily with a finger nail. These were a little more robust than I was...

    A standard pressure 230gr with a slower burning powder should give well over 1,000fps from a carbine...........

    Anyone else use 2400 in 38?

    I have used 2400 in the .38spl for a long time. 11gr and any 150 to 170gr swc as long as it is designed to not have too much inside the case. I recently tried VV N-110 as well I started at 10, 10.5 and finally settled on 11gr. I shoot these from a M15-3 and a Ruger LCR. I don't always use this...

    How To Not Shoot The Chrono

    Set up a target at the range of your first screen and shoot it and see if your POA is higher than your POI and allow for that distance when aiming through your sky screens. Good luck.....

    Are these reloaded?

    The cases are the same texture all the way to the extractor groove and the cases are bright not textured by a sizing die. I believe they are new ammo but I could be wrong......

    I bought 10 of those GSP M-28s from a dealer in Shotgun News in the late 70s. I made several customs and sold some for a small profit.....

    After a long time searching and waiting, Unshaved Webley Mark VI!

    The only good thing about a shaved Webley or .455 Colt or S&W is the excellent Star-Line .45 AR brass can be used to make a right proper revolver round for it.........

    WTH is this? S&W 28-2 45 acp...

    In the 70s when you could not get a big bore S&W that wasn't a magnum and .44 and .41 mags were twice retail on the used market many 28s were sacrificed for .44s and .45s. I even had one done in .45Colt and a 1955 cylinder fit to it for a convertible... There is a good chance the buyer has no...

    .45acp/255gr Hardcast

    6gr PP and a machine cast swcbb makes a good all around load. Back in the day I used the Keith load with the 454424 cast at 263gr from WWs in all kings of WWI revolvers in cluding a .455 MKII with a shaved cylinder. Not a good idea as those didn't have heat treated cylinders..........

    Anyone using VV N110 or N105 for .38spl or .44spl?

    I loaded a few .38/spl with N110 this last week. I loaded 10gr under 358 swc and tried it. Then I loaded some on 10.5 and 11gr. fired them all in a LCRX and a S&W M15-3. primers looked good and empties dribbled from chambers with a shake or a light touch of the extractor rod. I have used 2400...

    Charter Arms .45 Pitbull: So Far, Bite Matches Its Bark

    Don't forget that the cylinder on a revolver adds inches to the barrel length. A 2.5" revolver is as long as a 4" auto barrel. JMHO-YMMV
