    Ack, I think I might have made a big mistake here in 454 Casull HELP

    Grumulkin your experience seems to mirror what I just stumbled upon by accident. I can't seem to pull these bullets even when I'm trying my hardest. That factory crimp die is pretty awesome. It should have come standard with the carbide die set, but it was an add on in this caliber (I guess...

    Ack, I think I might have made a big mistake here in 454 Casull HELP

    I know, you're only supposed to load a few of them and test... I have no idea why I went with 100 of them... Okay I lied, I know why. I figured I'd use it exclusively this next range sesson :D. I probably should have planned on using something else for the rest of the session any way. You...

    Ack, I think I might have made a big mistake here in 454 Casull HELP

    Hi all. I've been silently enjoying the hobby for a while now, but I recently picked up a nice Super Redhawk in 454 Casull and the dies to load for it. I think I may have made a huge mistake. I bought 230 grain XTP bullets because that's all I could get my hands on, and I simply reduced the...

    Should I be oiling the inside of my barrel?

    Hey all, I'm still really new to this gun maintenance thing, and I got to thinking yesterday about how to best take care of my S&W stainless revolver. I was originally thinking about what I would do if I got a rifle to keep it happy during extended storage (no gun safe, at least not one big...

    My first gun, I need advice on ammo

    Alright, glaser's and 38 spec's it is! To the 65/66 owners, it seems like most of you guys are firing 38 special +P rounds in this gun. Is that just for HD, or for range duty as well? I kinda like the punishing recoil of a 357 round... But I don't want to kill this gun. Are the bloggers...

    Loaded gun on the nightstand + person who sleepwalks = some kind of lock device?

    Hope I'm not too late to the party, but if you're on a budget, may I suggest a hotel safe? I got a .37 cu foot digital safe from Harbor Freight on sale for 25 bucks (still on sale BTW). I've practiced with the buttons and I'm confident that I can get it open in 20 seconds or less if need be...

    My first gun, I need advice on ammo

    So it sounds like maybe I should say the heck with worrying about "under penetration" and gone with some glasers as my primary rounds. At 1600 fps, they would probably be harsh on the gun, but then again, I only get one chance at home defense. I think I would go with silver as they are listed as...

    My first gun, I need advice on ammo

    Well, I took the plunge and got my first gun. A nice S&W 65-4 with a 4 inch barrel. Refinished with a matte finish, and the top strap and forcing cone are in phenomenal shape. It's cherry :D. FWIW, I was told that based on the serial number it was produced in '93. Only $380 bucks too! There...
