Hi All, Sorry for picking up a VERY old and well worn trail, but I'm somewhat frustrated by lack of data. I had a hard drive failure awhile back and I lost the copies of old reloading manuals that I had squirreled away. I'm trying to work up some 38 Spl loads to shoot from a Ruger Service Six...

Good morning (at least to those of us in PST timezone), I think my next affliction is going to revolve (literally) around pocket revolvers in the 32 and 38 S&W caliber. Most likely ones produced from 1905 and later, so very definitely still in the transitional period from black powder to...

I've recently purchased a Browning Buck Mark Plus UDX. It shoots really nice and is accurate as heck, but I am not in love with the front fiber optic sight for bullseye shooting. I've done a bit of online shopping and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for, which is a fine (narrow)...

Picked up a NIB Walther PPK/S in .22 lr yesterday at my local shop. The curves were appealing to me and it's small enough that I figured I could throw it in my coat pocket when I walk the dog. Won't stop a PCP-addled fool, but would likely be better than using bad language and a stick when the...

I'm considering the purchase of one of these, the price is right and they both get good reviews. I haven't had a chance yet to hold them both in my hand and compare them, but I'm curious if anyone here owns either (or both) of them and could comment on their experience with them?

While I would LOVE to own a Colt Officer's Model, or S&W Model 14, I simply cannot afford the $800+ that is being asked for them on the used market now. Can anyone here recommend a currently produced revolver in .38 Special that they recommend for target shooting? I recently purchased a Ruger...

Hi All, I've reloaded about 500 rounds of 45 Colt and have gotten a good and repeatable system going for myself. The one thing I'm not really thrilled about is my primer pocket cleaning. I'm using a Dewey Crocogator at the moment and I'd rate it as doing an "ok" job. I'm curious to hear what...

I recently purchased a conversion cylinder from Howell Old West Conversions and have been very impressed with the quality of the cylinder and the company's service. I ordered it on a Thursday and had it in my hand the following Monday. The cylinder is for my 2016 Pietta 1858 and it is a true...

Hi All, I'm about to start loading some 45 Colt with Trailboss and am finding the load data from Hodgdon to be a real PITA. With a 200 grn RNFP bullet, the max data I can find on the Hodgdon reloading site is "6.5 grns = 855 FPS at 11,000 psi". Great, but what if I want to load hotter than...

Hi All, Wanted to report on the first firing of my Uberti 1875 Remington .45. I picked it up yesterday at Sportsman's Warehouse and took it out to the range today. I'm intending to use it with black powder cartridges, but I shot it today with Hornady 255 grain Cowboy loads. I don't have my...

Thought I'd share my experience getting a Dixie Gunworks kit of the Spiller and Burr revolver completed. Having been very impressed with the quality of a Pietta Remington 1858 .44 that I saw at Cabelas a month ago, I decided to get a .36 with a similar design. The Dixie kit being a few dollars...

Hi All, Just signed up to this forum because I like the informative responses and general tone of the conversations I've read so far. I have a question related to a new Pietta replica of the 1858 Remington. Specifically, I'd like to know what the correct procedure is to lower the hammer into...
