Good tips, thanks. Unfortunately, the bolt head is black. Maybe a Sharpie or soot will still work, I'll give it a try.

Hi Folks I have a Savage 12 Benchrest in 6mm BR. I have ordered the following and will receive them early next week: Criterion 30" Bull Barrel in 6mm BR PTG bolt head PTG bolt body PTG makes vague references to a need for gunsmithing to install the bolt head. I believe they just mean...

I bought an RCBS decapping die, and after decapping about five cases, something happened (I still don't know what) that snapped the pin and bent the pin holder (the whole central shaft). I emailed them at 5:14 in the morning explaining what had happened, and wondering how I could buy a...

Thanks guys. Yesterday I loaded some up at 13.9 grains, which is VV's recommended starting load for jacketed bullets. I will shoot some, check for pressure signs, etc. I normally use that N105 at either 15.3 or 16.4 grains with Hornady 240 grain XTPs, and that's a stout load, but not a...

Wow, dream gun right there!

I think you are laboring under a misconception if you think the porting reduces recoil. It doesn't. What it does is reduce muzzle flip, and enable you to get back on target more quickly. The porting also makes the gun sound louder, and at least in the case of my S&W Stealth Hunter (similar...

I love how loud and obnoxious my .44 mags are. Keeps those annoying 9mm guys on my left from spewing hot brass all over me. They always move away. .44 magnums create their own space. ;-)

I had the full LnL ammo plant with bullet and case feeders. It was surely the most cantankerous and unreliable machine I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Fortunately the place I bought it had 100% satisfaction guarantee, so I sent the whole steaming pile back for a refund, and...

Hello Folks I have a quantity of VV N105 that I have been using very successfully with full power loads (Hornady 200 and 240gr XTPs). However, those things are expensive to shoot. I have about 1500 hardcast 240gr LSWCs that I would like to load up using this powder, since I have moved over to...

The first time I loaded .44 magnum with that 300MP I had similar results to the OP. Lots of unburned powder, wildly inaccurate. That was with CCI300 primers. I loaded another batch, same Starline brass and 240gr Hornady XTPs, but this time used Federal 155 magnum match primers. Man...

I bought my first .44 magnum (S&W Stealth Hunter) about six weeks ago. I was really intimidated until I lit off the first rounds (full power 240gr JHP) at the range. Although it definitely kicked and was loud (the Stealth Hunter is Magnaported and that makes it even louder), it didn't hurt...

Yes, that is a Diamond D Leather "Guide's Choice" holster. It's really nicely made of heavy duty materials and is custom-molded and cut for this particular revolver, so the fit is perfect. I have not had a chance to use it for the purpose for which it is intended, but I have worn it around...

Biggest improvement for mine would be to put someone who can shoot behind it.

Here it is with the Aimpoint Micro H-1 (2MOA) on it:

I did not "dish" them (did you mean "dis" as in "disrespect"?). I simply stated that I prefer the black, and that I don't see the charm of the green ones. I didn't say anyone else shouldn't like the green ones. I don't care if everyone in the world likes the look of the green ones, I...

Personally, I don't see the charm of the green ones. I much prefer the black (which I believe is the black Birdsong finish too).

I picked up my new Smith & Wesson Stealth Hunter .44 magnum on Monday, and immediately headed up to the mountains to shoot it for the first time with my long time shooting buddy Mike. We are able to shoot at a police range, and we generally have it to ourselves. We brought 300 rounds of...

I am old, and I don't carry. No place in the poll for guys like me.

One of the biggest helps for me was when my instructor / coach encouraged me to single load my 1911. ie: put only one round in the magazine, slam it home and chamber that round, and then mentally go through my checklist: Feet shoulder width, angled out Nose over toes (sightly bent over at...

No, the Steath Hunter doesn't have a fiber optic front sight. It is a red ramp blade: It's not an aluminum alloy frame either, it's stainless steel.
