Hi all, I’m thinking of getting a Rossi 92 in .38/357. Has anyone who hand loads for one of these ever had problems using .38 Special cases?

Does anyone have any experience of the Ranger Point Precision Rossi 92 trigger? I bought one and quite frankly wish I had done more research. Once fitted it has proved to be highly unsatisfactory. The hammer repeatedly falls to half cock when the action is cycled and has to be cocked manually...

Hi all, Just wanted some advice regarding best powders to use in .357 and .44 to get the most velocity out of 20 inch barrelled lever actions. I have a 16” Rossi .44 which I am very pleased with, but I fancy a 20” in either calibre and have read a lot about 20” actually losing velocity over a...

Hi all, I’ve been reloading pistol cartridges for years and am now moving into rifle cartridges. Any suggestions as to which would be the best powder for .308 Winchester, 150 grain bullet for use in a rifle with a 27 1/2 inch barrel. Many thanks.

Hi guys, I am researching for a novel. It is set in the London underworld in 1987. illegal guns were hard to come by and the felons had to take what they could get. Has anyone any experience of carrying the CZ52? Could you safely carry one cocked and locked, one in the chamber, topped up...

Hi all, I am thinking of upgrading the scope on my Scout rifle. Currently using a Burris 2.75 which I have had for nearly 25 years and is still going strong, but I want a variable magnification. Burris and Vortex both offer a 2-7 mag variable, but the Burris is three times the price. I know you...

Hi all, I hand load for a Rossi 92, 16 inch barrel in .44 Magnum. This is purely for range work out to 100 yards maximum so far and my reloads tend to be in the 1000 to 1200 feet per range second range. I use 200 or 240 grain round nose flat points or 240 grain Keith style semi wad cutters...

Hi chaps, II have a Burris 2.75 non variable Scout scope which I bought 24 years ago and it is still going strong. It’s been on a couple of different Mausers (7.62 NATO and 7.92) and is now on a Rossi 92 with a 16 inch barrel in .44 Magnum. I plan to zero it to 50 yards with my regular hand...

Hi all, I originally posted this enquiry on the bolt and lever action division and had no takers so I thought I would try here in more detail. I have a Yugoslav K.98 in 7.92. I have fitted it with a Vortex 2-7 variable long eye relief scope. I have used the S&K scout Mount but have had to shim...

Hi all, Has anyone any experience of this firm? I am think of buy their low profile long eye relief Mount for a Yugoslav Mauser K.98. Any feedback or advice greatly appreciated.

Has anyone else ever watched a scene in a film and thought it would be interesting if they armed the characters differently? My favourite would be the drive in movie theatre shoot out from ‘Heat’. Visualise Val Kilmer using a Lee Enfield No 4 rather than an H&K G3. This would have to include at...

Hi all, I am after forty years of hand loading pistol calibre cartridges now moving into rifle rounds. I am reloading .308 Winchester for a customised Mauser K.98 with an Israeli 7.62 NATO barrel. ( I am aware of the .308/7.62 issues and have shot hundreds of factory .308 rounds through the...

I have a Mauser K98 with a Timney trigger that was installed on it about 20 years ago. It is a definite improvement but the bolt requires considerable effort on the cocking stroke. I have emailed Timney but they have yet to get back to me. Any suggestions on how to adjust this?

I've had a Rossi 92 in .44 Magnum/Special for nearly 2 years. I have put about 2500 rounds through it, almost all handholds using mostly magnum cases. If I get the OAL right it has no trouble feeding round nose, truncated cone, jacketed or lead bullets and has no preference for Magnum or Special...

Hi all, Just asking for advice on mounting a Vortex Crossfire long eye relief scope on a Yugoslav Mauser 7.92. What would be the ideal setting for the scope before initial zeroing at 25 and then 100 yards? The scope has 60 MOA available for both windage and elevation with one click equalling a...

I hand load for a Rossi 92, 16 inch barrel .44 magnum. My standard load is a lead 200 grain round nosed flat point at about 1000 feet per second. This is with Bullseye. large pistol primers and magnum cases. They shoot and cycle fine, but the cases are very dirty after firing. I do tumble my...

Hi chaps, I would be interested in any suggestions about the following problem. I have a Yugoslavian K.98 in 7.92 and have fitted an S&K scope mount to it. The mount is excellent and I have used it for years with an old Burris 2.75 Scout scope. This has just been been for fun, plinking on the...

- [ ] Crimp. Hi Chaps, I am hand loading for a 16 inch barrelled Rossi 92 in .44 Magnum. This is purely for target shooting. I have worked up pretty good load for 200 and 240 grain lead bullets. These are round nose flat points, .430 in diameter at velocities of 1000 to 1100 fps. These give...

Hi Chaps, I previously did a post about some 20 year old, good condition large pistol primers that came my way. These worked flawlessly. I have now acquired some 20 year old CCI large rifle primers from the same source. My question is would they be safe to use for .44 Special and .44 Magnum...

I have been offered two, one pound tins of this for a good price. Apparently the tins are sealed and have been correctly stored and are five to ten years old. The seller states the powder is almost identical in performance to Alliant 2400. I have previously used 2400 and Bullseye that was 25...
