I just started doing the wet tumble method of cleaning brass with stainless steel pins. Unbelievable how shiny brass gets after tumbling for 1 hour in a harbor freight rock tumbler. I bet that would slick your brass up.
I mainly shoot a 629 but my dad had a blued Taurus 669 in a drawer that had been shot 15-20 times since he bought it probably 25 years ago. Decided I would try it out so I loaded some mild cast .38 Spl loads to try. Accuracy at 25 yards was surprisingly good, but the cylinder has all kinds of...
Yep, I started off with a 454, now have a 44 that I shoot a lot with medium loads. My dream gun is a .380 revolver with a 6-7 inch barrel but dont think anybody ever made one. Magnum bug went away fast for me.
I had a form 4 get declined because the store clerk left one piece of info off of application. The ATF examiner would not let the store submit the needed info, and I had to start over from scratch. Immediately re applied sending in another $200 tax stamp fee and I got the suppressor in 5 months...

I have been shooting a .300RSAUM for 15 years with a 180gr Hornady Interbond and it gets an exit on everything it hits. Barnes bullets would be a good selection for that animal too I would think
Sounds more like a gun issue than an ammo issue to me. Been a while since I loaded 300BO but I didnt think a double charge would fit in case with a deeply seated bullet. I have been wrong before
I am new on this forum, but have the same gun, 629 5" that the original poster is describing. I have average sized hands and I think the factory rubber grips are too narrow across the back also. I ordered a set of factory wood grips from S&W that come only on the 6 1/2 bbl guns to try and they...
