    Empty Cylinder

    Pardon for the chamber--cylinder gaff. And thanks to all. Now I know if I blow my pecker off it'll be my fault! Thanks again.

    Empty Cylinder

    I carry a s&w j-frame, enclosed hammer, 5 rd cylinder. Should the revolver be carried with an empty cylinder under the hammer? I've owned several wheel guns and the answers have been different for different models and different for the same model. Can anyone clear this up...

    Safety Issues

    The old scale is moot. I bought a new one from Dillon Precision and everything is working fine. The check weights are on the way. The old scale served me well for a few years but being packed away for a long time took a toll. It might have been rusted or possibly bent. Don't know. Irregardless...

    Safety Issues

    Here's the deal-- Reloaded alot 20 yrs ago. Recently started shooting again and subsequently, reloading. Took all the old equipment out of mothballs. Had to relearn everything and had to deal with equipment issues. I plead guilty to being too eager to get some loads cooked up for my .38...

    Safety Issues

    I would have never thought, in a million years, that a scale's reading (balance scale) would be incorrect. I bought a new scale and those rounds came out fine. The overly "hot" loads were 5grains of Unique. But with the new scale, I was using 5.7 grains and those rounds were fine. Clearly...

    Safety Issues

    Am I hearing that once the bullet is removed and the powder dumped I can de-prime the case in the reloading press the way I pop out used primers?

    Safety Issues

    Using a faulty scale I managed to produce 50 rounds of .38 special ammo that cannot safely be shot from my snubnose .38. The first 5 rounds required some tool work to remove from the cylinder. Some of the cases broke apart. The bullets were way too hot. Now that I have these rounds what do I do...

    Galil Scope Mounts

    I've owned this rifle for 25 yrs. It's the .308 version. I want to scope it. Is there anyone out there with any experience in this regard? The Galil is derived from the Kalashnikov so many dealers tell me to check out AK mounts. I'm sure there are differences.Again, anyone ever scope a Galil or...

    1873 Springfield Trapdoor

    I own a reproduction Harrington and Richardson Trapdoor, 1873. Caliber .45-70. I bought a couple of boxes of Federal ammo and took the rifle to the range. Great fun, kicked like a mule but I think this cartridge as loaded was a little too hot. The cleaning rod retaining pin fell out/ broke...

    Ammo Recognition

    It is a little scary but I err on the side of caution. C'mon now. It's been 20 + years since i even shot these rounds. Cut me some slack, you've got 2 .30 calibers (7.62) an 8 mm and a 6.5 mm. Add that to the fact that the mauser is 57mm long, the 30.06 63mm, the Japanese round 50mm and the...

    Ammo Recognition

    Hi All, I'm reentering the shooting sports after 20 yrs and I am running into a problem. Looking through boxes of ammo all mixed together I am having a difficult time distinguishing between certain cartridges I was reloading. I was into the 30.06 .308...
