I picked up a nice, very well cared for stainless Ruger Security Six last week for $400 last week...ran some .357 magnum factory ammo through it this last weekend and am glad I purchased it. The factory stocks were not on it, rather a set of Pachmayer Grippers, which are fine for now, but I...

I was able to purchase blemished 147 grain hollowpoints (.355" diameter) last week from Midway. These appear to be Hornady XTP bullets. New to me will be reloading for the 357 Sig cartridge. I don't have any other .355' diameter bullets to look at loading right now, had looked fruitlessly for...

I'm wanting to get a Ruger of the persuasion listed above. I've shot Blackhawks and Super Blackhawks but am not familiar with how the Bisley handles (have read of enough people that prefer it over the Blackhawk). So I'm looking for any advice regarding preferences for one over the other. Haven't...

I have a 1974 manufacture Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum, bought used. Unfortunately in my first shooting session, discovered a couple issues. I have replaced a dented magazine tube with a new one. A couple parts I haven't been able to find are the front barrel band screw, and the rear barrel band...

My daughter, son in law and my son enjoy shooting and have been for several years. My son in law tends to gravitate towards any pistols I bring for shooting at the range. So far he has handled and fired the following: Colt Woodsman .22 LR Ruger SR9 9mm Browning High Power 9mm Kimber 1911 45...

I bought a T/C Encore single shot rifle in .45-70 last year, and also purchased a spare barrel in .357 Remington Maximum after gaining the opportunity to deer hunt in Indiana. This is a new case loading opportunity for me, having loaded for several 357 Magnum handguns. I have bullet weights on...

I'm the happy owner of a Marlin 1895 today, 1976 vintage. I will be owning a box of cast lead boolits courtesy of a another great THR member, "childofthesky" shortly. Bullet is the the Missouri Bullet Company #1 Buffalo, .458 diameter RNFP, BH of 18. I'm not looking for anything punishing right...

I have had this revolver for over a year, really like the revolver but am not 100% comfortable with the factory stocks. Has anyone swapped them out with something else, and why? With the current ones I find myself shifting my hand position frequently. I don't have large hands, maybe that's part...

I recently obtained over 40 brass cases with a 35 Remington headstamp (bought sight unseen), after a quick look discovered they had been sized to a different caliber ( calipers show .308" was the bullet diameter loaded) with a more substantial shoulder than typical .35 Rem. case has. Overall...

I picked up a bolt-action .22 rifle from a high school buddy for an acceptable price ($100). It's marked "Anschutz-Savage Modell 1415/16" (No typo!) above "cal..22 Long Rifle" on the right side of the barrel. Left side has "J.G. Anschutz GMBH, Waffenfabrick Ulm/D, West Germany", also a marking...

I lucked into a bit of mixed headstamp .357 magnum brass, once fired, about 300 cases brass and nickle-plated. My intent right now is to load up at least half of what I have with 148 grain cast lead double-ended wadcutters, very mild loads for shooting in a S&W Model 60 (I have plenty of .38...

I throw this question out after my 20 year-old daughter shot both her S&W Model 60 (loaded with .38 Special 158 gr. SWC's at 800 fps) and the same load, plus some factory .357 158 gr. loads out of my Dan Wesson 4" 15-2 vent heavy barrel for trial experience. She said she liked both, but would...

In a fit of impulse buying I noticed and purchased a Colt Woodsman .22 pistol yesterday. The pistol has certainly been used plenty (some light surface pitting in a couple spots, bluing is worn on surfaces such as the slide and any other surfaces from what looks like it might be holster wear). In...

I was able to find and purchase a new Marlin 1894C today (not easy to find in southwest Ohio), and have plenty of 158 grain cast lead semiwadcutters I'd like to use for .357 mag for low/mid range velocity loads (1000 fps and less). My preference is to avoid any lead build-up from shooting .38...

I'm looking at .22 revolvers for a family member, small in size (female)neophyte to shooting, that will be comfortable to shoot. Thinking of 3"-4" barrel, similar in handling to a future upgrade in caliber to .38 Special. Would like to hear some opinions on this from real experience. Don't want...

I purchased a Ruger Mini 14 a couple months ago (the blued NRA Anniversary version) and am finally looking at what to put on top of it. I have problems sighting targets with the ghost ring sights unless it's fairly bright outside. I would love to hear some opinions on this. Typical use would be...
