I came across a box of .257 Roberts ammunition in a Western SuperX white box. It's 117 grain soft point. Just curious as to when Winchester stopped selling under the Western name. This box belonged to my old high school shop teacher and was purchased for $10.99 at the hardware store I have...

Has anyone ever used them? I'm looking for .257 Roberts brass and they show to have some.

I've got a new Uberti 1885 .45 colt. The first time I shot it, it wouldn't extract the cases. I could point the barrel up and the cases would slide part of the way out enough to get a fingernail in the rim and pull it out. So I ordered a new extractor, my gunsmith put it in and it worked great...

I was looking for a somewhat rare caliber rifle and did a Google search when the above site popped up. They had one for a very good price and after a person payed $800.00 they were ready to ship it for 20.00 freight to an FFL. It said to go through Zelle and you would be instructed on how to...

I shot my Uberti 1885 .45 colt today and from the very first shot the cases wouldn't extract to the point you could get them out. I had to work the lever and turn the gun with the barrel facing up to finally get them to work out. Sometimes the extractor wouldn't catch the brass rim at all. I...

With my aging eyes, I am considering mounting a red dot on my Ruger Super Blackhawk .454 Casull. I recently discovered a company called Griffonhill who makes a mount that uses the rear sight screw and rear sight pin on Blackhawks. I was wondering if anyone here was familiar with them. I am also...

So what is the best at reducing noise? I was at an indoor range recently and tried the cheap foam inserts and the head mufflers over that and while my .454 was tolerable, it still wasn't as good as I would like. I'm not crazy about sticking things in my ears and have always preferred over the...

I reloaded some .357 magnum rounds using 158 grain jacketed with IMR 4227. These were accurate but also very dirty. I've got about 40 rounds left and was thinking of pulling, resizing and re flaring the cases and using a different powder. Is there any problem with this as long as I remove the...

I have read many threads on this, but the answers always seem to vary. I have twice as many small rifle magnum primers as I do small rifle primers. The only thing I use these primers for are .223 and .454 casull. I bought the first 1000 magnum primers to use with H110 loads in the .454 casull...

I've been reloading for close to 15 years and go 100 percent by what the reloading manuals say. There is a lot I don't understand about burn rates, compressed loads, case capacity......etc, but by following the load data in the manuals, I have never had an issue. I came across something today...

I've read many times that WD40 will kill a primer. For me, it only worked 33% of the time. I had three live primers in three messed up pieces of brass. In the past, I just deprimed them and tossed them. This time I decided to test whether WD40 would kill the primers. I filled each case to the...

I've been reloading various calibers for about 15 years. I've loaded tons of .45 colt including Ruger only .45 colt loads with no problems. Recently I've started loading .454 Casull and am having a terrible time crimping them. I'm using starline brass and Cast Performance cast lead bullets with...

I would say my flinch started when I started reloading about 15 years ago. I decided to try some Ruger Only .45 colt loads in my Blackhawk and soon after developed a flinch. If I really focus, am shooting on a fairly regular basis and am shooting a gun with a light trigger, I can overcome it. A...

Like the title says, who cares what you spent on the gun you've always wanted? Who cares if you spent $1,000.00 on a gun that "others" think is only worth $700.00. If you want it and can afford it then buy it. I doubt any of us are going to be laying on our deathbed upset about spending too much...

My son-in-law , grandson and myself headed to the range yesterday. We were armed with a 9mm semi-auto, a .45 colt judge, a .45 colt redhawk, a .454 casull super blackhawk, a .357 Dan Wesson, a Ruger security six .357 and a couple of .22 revolvers. Starting with the .22's, we let my 11 year old...

I'm looking for a reduced recoil load for .308. In the Lee Modern Reloading 2nd edition, it shows a 150 grain jacketed bullet loaded with IMR-4227. A starting load of 23.3 grains producing 2055 FPS and a Max load of 26.0 grains producing 2260 FPS. I have a reduced .308 load using Trail Boss...

The prices on gunbroker and the way people bid is amusing. On a new firearm, there will be a "Buy it now" listing for $1200.00 and on another listing of the same gun, there will be a "Starting bid" of $1500.00, and people will be on that listing in a bidding war when they could simply buy it...

Has anyone heard when Marlin/Ruger is going to start producing .357 magnum lever action rifles? Nothing against the .45/70's, but I prefer plinking with a .357 and there aren't too many Brown Bears or Cape Buffalos in my neck of the woods.

Just curious what color of loctite would be recommended for the grip frame on a .454 Casull? Apparently the former owner of the Blackhawk I now own used red. Needless to say, my gunsmith was not too happy.LOL

So I recently bought a Ruger Super Blackhawk .454 Casull from an individual and I asked him if he had ever changed any springs out and if he had ever had any problems with screws coming loose. He informed me that it was all stock and he had never had any screws work loose. I wasn't pleased with...
