    Warning: Wolf LP Primers and mag loads

    Thanks for all of your constructive input guys. Again, I would like to state that my limited testing of 100 rounds of 45 ACP using Bullseye and Wolf LP primers have been positive. I think that when it comes to this primer I will load it to target or mid velocity loads using fast burning powder...

    Warning: Wolf LP Primers and mag loads

    Like I said I'm not out to bash Wolf I just never figured that the possibility of so poor of ignition would be possible. Live and learn. Will use only mag primers for mag loads in the future. If anything sounds the least bit unusual will stop and inspect. Up side no one was hurt. Look at the...

    Warning: Wolf LP Primers and mag loads

    I usually don't post here but wanted to share my experience from this afternoon at the range. For starters I've been reloading off and on for the past 30 years and recently purchased a NIB Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt. I, as most others, have noted the difficulty in obtaining primers lately so...

    Market value of Ruger Model 44

    I'm trying to get an idea of the market value for an early model 44 Ruger in 44 mag. This is the older model w/ the 4 round tubular magazine. I would rate the condition at 85%. Location is the mid-west. Thanks

    Colt Agent help

    Have you checked out the "revolver check-out" at the top of this forum? The cylinder face should not be touching the forcing cone. Pull the trigger to the rear all the way an hold it back. The hammer should be full forward and the cylinder should be locked up tight with no side to side play or...

    Problem with my 28-3?

    I would suggest that you check the amount of cylinder endshake. Endshake is the amount of front to rear movement of the cylinder when the revolver is in full lock-up. To check this out, 1) cock the piece over an empty chamber, 2) pull the trigger full to the rear while easing the hammer down...

    How much does your dealer discolse about you?

    WT I understand that an FFL must follow the law to remain in business and nobody wants to buy a stolen firearm, but the impression I got from this guy was that he would run a check on a firearm even if he had no intention to buy or trade for it just to see if it was reported stolen. Yes, a...

    How much does your dealer discolse about you?

    Good question whm1974. This guy is a big promoter of Ruger firearms and states that they are the best available on the market. I didn't notice any on the rack but "if" I'm ever back that way I may ask, but there probably wouldn't be any point in trying to order any hi-caps through this guy. Like...

    How much does your dealer discolse about you?

    How much does your dealer disclose about you? Hi I've been lurking here awhile without speaking out but I had an experience yesterday that got me wondering about FFL dealers going out of their way to report "suspect" activity to local and federal authorities. There is a well established dealer...
