Any experience with the "Target" Bulldog? Here's my application (always need to pretend I have a use for a new toy): Light weight woods revolver. The Bulldog weighs half my GP -100. I have other heavy hitters, so don't need suggestions for other guns, just experience with this one .

Anyone have personal shooting experience with this thumper? As far as I know, it is only available in a Turnbull custom 1886 Winchester or a limited edition Ruger No. 1.

Don't have one :eek:. So I can't call my collection complete, right? Now, if you put "1911" into the Gunbroker search, you get over 100 pages of listings. I guess they are kinda popular. So, if a guy wanted one that was: Wood and blued (just cause) Lower end of the price range US manufacture...

Fair warning: This ends in a "What should I buy?" (And outrageous rationalization) So I inherited a Handi Rifle with 4 barrels: .44 Mag, .243, 30-30 and 20 ga. Not worth a lot, and it's family, so keep it and give it a try. Bad news, or good, depending on how you look at it, I didn't load any...

Looking at 1873 Springfields I've noticed a few 1866 models in 50-70. I have to admit that I was not aware of this earlier model, but apparently it was fairly popular until the "new" 1873 came out. Any words of wisdom for someone considering one?

I have some on back order just for fun. Their 325's work well for me, and Hodgdon posts tested loads for H110. Does anyone have experience to share with heavy bullets like this? Ruger Blackhawk, of course.

Here's what I know: Manhattan Arms sold, but did not make, firearms. Various manufacturers made guns for them. I believe that Hunter Arms made their box lock "Fulton" for them marked "Manhattan Arms" on the side plate. Can anyone confirm or refute that?

I've been reloading for years, but this is the first time for a tubular magazine, a 30-30 Model 94. So I figure, round nose, right? Well, Hornady and Nosler think that's fine, but Speer and Sierra say flat nose only. Sierra makes a RN 150 with a cannelure that looks like it's a good one, but...

I am thinking of adding one to my collection. They are pretty, but I understand it is literally hit or miss on their accuracy. Can folks here who have or have had one share their experience? Regarding new ones, only a limited caliber selection is being made for Lipsey's. If I buy one, it...

Was thinking about this simply because I don't have one. Trouble is, I seem to have only 2 choices: Ruger Blackhawk or S & W Model 57. Have a 45 Colt BH, load everything from cowboy to bear busters, like it. Other than just different, I can't see one in another caliber. The Smith is a 'N'...

I have an 1894 Elsie 12 ga with what appear to be Damascus barrels. It's in pretty good shape and functional with the exception of one missing firing pin. Numrich has the firing pin, and I'm thinking of getting the old girl shooting again. I don't load shotshells, but blackpowder ammo is...

The safe is overfilled, I've spent more than I should, and it's time to stop buying and start shooting. Of course, as my wife reminds me, I've said that before. This can be addictive. So, rather than bragging about my latest, I will list what I will not buy this year. No snakes. No 28 gauge...

Are they all made in Turkey? Seems like they are held in low esteem, but I would like to hear from folks who shoot them. Particularly interested in their doubles.

That is, they share a .40 bore size, though the old one is nominally a "41" (Long Colt, that is). Odd comparison, but I've been working up some .41 LC loads for a 6" Army Special. The old commercial ammo I have runs about 650 with a 200 gr lead flat nose. My research indicates the original...

American Arms is no longer in business, but some of the guns they marketed are still around. Anyone know something about the "Gentry" side-by-side shotgun? Made in Spain is all I know. I see them for reasonable prices on internet sites.

Any personal experience with this reproduction revolver? I load and shoot .41 Long Colt from a beat up but functional Army Special. Looking for a better one, but it appears "snake fever" is infecting the bidders for these plain but sturdy old guns. I am more interested in shooting than...

I have been shooting this load from my Blackhawk for years: 250 OT over 10.6 AA#5. Gives me about 980 fps from a 6 1/2" barrel. It is at or near max for SAA clones, but no where near for the Blackhawk. Never had an issue before, cases drop right out. Last weekend most were fine, but I got...

Fixin' to load and shoot this old cartridge. Dies, bullets (Speer 75's), and I hope brass on the way. I would appreciate anyone sharing their experience with this round. Long version: For whatever reason, I have been gathering "32" bore firearms and cartridges. So far, .32 S&W, .32 S&W...

If I can find brass (backordered), I will have all the components. Anyone on here who can share their experience with this round? I have read several sources that indicate blackpowder works best. I have a lot of experience with flintlocks and am gaining it rapidly for cap-and-ball, but never...

I bought a Doublestar AR-15 three years ago when I was living in Kentucky. Hey, I was curious and Doublestars are made in the state. Put a Nikon Prostaff 3-9 on it and bought a big box of American Eagle FMJ 55's. Of course, I had to load some and run them over my chronograph. The commercial...
