over-bore capacity rcmodel, I appreciate that feedback. I'm trying to learn. My next investment will likely be a 6 PPC or BR. Help me with the term over-bore. I can understand how a less than case filling load could create unequal forces upon a bullet that extends past the neck into the...

Thanks NCsmitty. I ordered the rifle with that twist. Savage offers both twists in the 12 LPV. The 65 grain bullets seem to offer the sweet stop at 22-250 velocities and I can get sub .5MOA pretty regularly. Best 3 shot group with 65 Sierra GAMEkings is 0.214" center to center. The...

I'm relatively new to the technical shooting world though a long time reloader of handgun and hunting rifle loads. I have a question about gauging appropriate velocity in varied twist rates for proper stabilization. I'm working with a Savage 12 Low Profile Varminter. I can get routine...

I’m a Sig fan and shoot several models regularly. About a year ago I picked up a Browning BDA (220) on the cheap that had somewhere been fitted with a 400 Corbon barrel. I soon sold that barrel and purchased a 45 barrel from the forums and put it in. That barrel just didn’t fit. The slide...

Looks like he has changed. Site says 15 now. That's good for 1250+ IMHO

just looked at Alpha. 17 Brinnel. You can drive that bullet probably to 1400+ without undue leading.

Almost forgot - talk to Stonewall before ordering bullets that you intend to load above ~1100 or so. Unless he has changed his are brinnel 12. He told me that when I was asking for 125 truncated cone 9mm for a 357 sig.

Trooper Thanks guys for the feedback

I shoot mostly 45's but have a light carry piece in 40S&W. Winchester has a factory load 180 at a we bit over 1000 fps. I am assuming that would pass the penetration test but would like to hear your opinion. I also have a couple boxes of Black Talons coming but would like to hear general...

Tricky, do you have a number for Stonewall. You are talking about the one in Stonewall, LA, correct?

ForneyRider, muzzle blast on the big magnums can cause your issue. Build a "window" to shoot through that will divert those gases. One that I saw was simply a piece of plywood with a cut out in it and a small base. It diverted the "side" gases. But if I were to build one I would not use one...

I have a Colt Trooper MKIII 357M 6" bbl blued handgun with Pachmayr grips that came to me via numerous trades. It has adjustable Millet rear sight with red inset front blade. There is about a 3/16-1/4" holster wear spot on both sides of the barrel end and some light wear on the cylinder...

As if you don't get enough of those already. After a string of trades over time a couple guns that I would like feeback on. First, a Browning BDA / Sig 220 45 ACP, polished blue, wooden grips in 90%+ condition s/n 395RRxxxx. Moderate holster rubs on front dust cover and slide flat. Very...

The DA trigger pull on a standard 229, and most DA/SA sigs other than the SRTs tend to stack up as the long trigger pull is exercised. I have been told that there is a trigger job that can be done to improve the DA pull to make it fluid without stacking. Can anyone tell me about that, what is...

Sig made a limited number of 229s that were reverse two toned having a STAINLESS frame and a Nitron finished SS slide with front serations and both "faces" of the slide milled like an Equinox. Can anyone tell me when and how many of those were made? I found one and am trying to determine its...
