    New (to me) SW 640

    I've been looking to get a smaller firearm for CCW. The 92FS and the .44 mag are a bit obvious whenever the temp is above 55 degrees. ;) Found a very lightly used SW 640 at a local pawn shop. You can barely see the score around the cylinder, it's been fired that little. It wasn't an amazing...

    Reloading Die Quality?

    I got back into reloading a year and a half ago after a 15 year hiatus. I have always used a carbide RCBS die for .44 mag for my lever action rifle. (Still lubed the cases, even though, technically, I don't have to do so.) When I bought my pistol, I had purchased a 9mm carbide die set, but it...

    Double Action Technique Question

    Hi Everyone, I have tried the "pull the front sight through the rear sight" idea, but I'm shooting low and slowly as well. Does anyone have good resources I can look up to see how to shoot DA with a revolver, please? I do the monthly bowling pin plinking thing, but I need to get faster...

    Would you fire this round through your revolver?

    How important is a perfect lip on the brass of a reload, please? This is a .44 mag with an average load, not hot. The rest of the brass seems fine... no bands at the base. The problem is that the lip has 2 nicks in it. Here's different sides of the same round: This isn't a competition...

    Clean powder for .44 magnum

    Hi all, I did a quick search, but couldn't find a thread on a clean powder for .44 magnum reloads. I shoot a revolver now, but would like the brass to not be so burned by the time I have to tumble it. Currently I'm using Win296. I've always shot it through my rifle and never really thought...
