My gunsmith at my club only puts in a couple hours a week if he's lucky. He does exceptional work but with the recent high volume at most gun shops, he is even more swamped and will be taking 5-6 weeks to return jobs to the customers. I have a SW 625 and a Ruger Redhawk that he installed...

Got a nice shiny 20 year old Ruger Redhawk, SS, in 44 mag, 7.5 inch barrel for deer and hog hunting. Now I'd like a 44 mag carbine to back it up with for those 100 to 150 yard shots beyond my comfort zone with the Redhawk. I'd like the gun to be capable of 2-3" groups at 100 yards. Was...

Will some Laser-Cast 155 or 170 grain lead SWCs function reliably and accurately in the KKM 6" 10mm barrel in a Glock 20? And what about the stock length Federal Arms 40SW conversion barrel for the G20? Called them both and got mixed answers. Who reloads with these target SWC bullets? Or...

What am I going to do? I thought revolvers were designed originally for shooting lead bullets of all configurations. Well, I reloaded some target grade hard cast lead Truncated cone 200 grain Aardvark bullets behind 5.3 grains of TiteGroup for a round doing 1,025 fps for 25 and 50 yard...

One of my favorite dealers has one of the first 617s made in Oct of 1989. Wood grips. 6" barrel. 6 shot. Its got an aluminum cylinder. I talked to three different techs at SW who stated the change was cosmetic and at customers' request. They didn't like the two tone of the aluminum on SS...

Any of you have any good 50 yard recipes for your 10mm or 45 ACP guns? ;d Got TiteGroup, Universal, Longshot, W231, and Power Pistol. I'm thinking I need a slower powder than TG or W231 at the 50 yard line. Am I wrong? My Glock 20 didn't like 5.1 grains of Titegroup with some Berry's 165...

I've been bit by the revolver craze. I've got two large framed N-frame Smith & Wessons including a 610 and a 625, and a Ruger Redhawk in 44 mag. I'm looking for an accurate and durable similarly sized revolver in .22lr that is accurate out from 50 to 100 yards. I'd like it to be a trainer for...

From what people are telling me, the SWCs get much better penetration and in lead raw sheer velocity. In my Glock 20 or my SW 610 with a 6" barrel, with AA9 I can work ups some 1320 fps loads with a 180 TC for 696 fpe. With a 175 SWC, only 657 fpe. I know my G20 will feed truncated cones but...

I'm a newer revolver shooter and was wondering what everybody thinks about the Bore Snakes. Of course, I'd do regular thorough cleanings at home with brass brushes, Lead Away/MP7Pro, pathes, and jags. But at the range, I'd think it would extend my shooting with lead bullets. I've read that...

Well, only three hours away near Shelton and Matlock. And not a hard drive from Portland too. Any Western Washington/Portland area TFLers up for some hog hunting? Called the Department of Wildlife and the species is completely unregulated. Baiting with corn allowed. Trapping allowed and...

I can get 1,000 lead SWCs from Laser Cats for about $53 delivered versus $70 for plated SWCs by Rainier/West Coast. But can't shoot lead indoors and around Seattle its indoor shooting 60 percent of the time at least. So is it better to spend the extra $10 per thousand rounds and shoot the...

Thinking about ordering some Oregon Trail - Laser-Cast hard cast bullets. Some of the 170 SWCs for my 10mm and 40SW guns - Glock 20 and SW 610. And some 200 grain SWCs for my SW 625. I have Lee dies and they are taper crimping. Since I shoot both semi autos and revolvers in 10mm and 45...

Just love my Smith and Wesson 610 in 10mm with the large N-frame. I really absorbs that recoil and stabilizes the shots for some great accuracy. And the moon clips are really fats for reloads. And the trigger is unmatchable. Just got a nice cash windfall before GW's $600 gift to us married...

Just got my SW 610 back from my local gunsmith and man is it sweet! Best revolver DA or SA trigger I've ever pulled. I prefer to shoot DA. this Redhawk already has a Wolff reduced power spring setup in there but there is still a heavy hitch before the cylider turns. Hate it! My 610 rolls...

Do you shoot your Redhawks, SW 629s, Anaconda's, and other 44 mags in double or single action? I bought my Redhawk for hunting and some target work. My Redhawk has a nice SA trigger pull but a little rough on the DA trigger pull. My local gunsmith did the best trigger job I've ever felt...

I was shooting my SW 610 at the range and noticed that it was really really hard to eject my spent cases from the charging holes/chambers in my cylinder. I though I was going to bust my crane or ejection rod - real torque was needed. I was originally having problems ejecting my reloads...

I was shooting my SW 610 at the range and noticed that it was really really hard to eject my spent cases from the charging holes/chambers in my cylinder. I had to work up some serious force to move the ejector rod. To the point where I was afraid I might bend it. I was originally having...

I was just talking to JR of Ray's Indoor Shooting Range in Louisville and he's got 35K of once-fired 45 ACP brass. Usual price is $35/1,000 but if you buy a large batch, price is negotiatable. If you're looking, email him at gunpermit1@aol.com or give him a call at (502) 458-1893.;)

I'm looking for fellow shooters around Seattle Washington who'd like to go in a bulk purchase of several thousand MG bullets or a couple hundred pounds of West Coast bullets. We can save a good 15 percent. Email me if interested.
