7x57 Lowe Mauser Loads Thanks Dano and everyone else for the info provided. I recently fireformed some brass in the Lowe, necksized it and checked each piece for headspace and found no headspace problems. I've loaded 175 RNs with IMR 4350, and 140s & 150s with IMR 4895. All are loaded with...

7x57 1895 Lowe Mauser loads Thanks to all for the info. 35 Whelan, I just checked my 48th Lyman manual. Their loads appear conservative, none are over 46,000 CUP and it looks like 2600 fps is reachable with 139s but as the barrel on my 95 is 22" maybe not. I'll start low, work up and find...

From what I've read best accuracy with the original barrel will be with the heavier RN bullets and pressure should be kept under 45,000 cup. I'd like to try something that shoots a little flatter, say around 2700 fps. Anyone getting good accuracy with 139/140 gr bullets at that velocity with...

This one was advertised as an ex police revolver but didn't have any police dept. markings. It came with the target hammer, target trigger and good quality aftermarket checkered rubber grips with finger grooves. The bluing shows a little holster wear but I'd say is still 90%. I bought it about...

That looks like it except the one I shot had a vent rib. Looked similar to a Colt Python, not. Well the the rib did anyway.

Best non+P defense load Thanks to all for the info. Since some of you recommend staying with the wadcutters I'll stick with them. She shoots them well and doesn't want any recoil. I've got to think they'll be more effective than a smaller caliber and I've got plenty of them.

My wife tried 158 LHPSW +P loads in her Model 15, 38 Special S&W and doesn't want anything to do with them or any other +P load. She can handle 147 gr. target wadcutters fine shooting double action and can keep six in the center of a silhouette target at 15 feet. Any recommendations for a good...

I shot one yesterday. The markings indicate it was made in Spain: "Gabilondo&CA-Vitoria Espana". I figure it's older as it appears to be kind of a copy of a 5 screw, 4" S&W but has a vent barrel rib. It's got adjustable sights and a case hardened hammer with a wide spur. The owner had...

What years were these introduced? Was 10-8 the last of the Model 10s? Thanks

Model 10 hammer Thanks, checked Brownell's and Gun Parts Inc. They sell a "hammer assembly" for 50-60 bucks. You're right that's a good price. I'm going to buy it and leave it as is as long as it works.

I was offered a used police trade in Model 10 heavy barrel for $100. I put a box of 50 rounds through it. Timing is good; it functions smoothly in both single and double action and is accurate. It shows holster wear but I'd say still has 90% bluing. There's no rust and it also has a set of...
