If this has already been discussed I apologize. I was poking around the Ruger website and if this was available when I bought my 45 Convertible last December I sure missed it. Link to the Convertible page: < http://www.ruger.com/products/newModelBlackhawkConvertible/models.html > You can now...

The reason I am asking is I would like to help and observe. I have been thinking of casting my own bullets for a while. I answered an add in Craigslist yesterday to buy a quantity of lead ingots and wound up buying molds and a "Lube-A-Matic-2 Bullet Sizer/Lubricator" with sizing dies and top...

Me, my son and a friend of his shot a box of clays Saturday. Had a good time and plan to maybe do this more. My son's friend had a Mossburg with a middle bead on it. I shot it a couple of times and liked what the middle bead did to my shooting. I have a Remington 870 Express that I shoot and am...

I have a new Ruger Mark III Target that I cannot get apart. I am following the instructions in the manual and have watched a couple of you tube videos. I have a Standard model that has been in the family all my life so I am familliar with the design and have dissasembled and reassembled it many...

I have a Blackhawk 357 6.5 inch barrel. I had a full flap field holster make for it that fits it well. I am seriously consider purchasing a Blackhawk convertible 45 Colt and 45 ACP 5.5 inch barrel. They look the same and as the 357 is actually heavier I am thinking they would both fit just fine...

Just traded for this revolver. I am very much in like with this gun even with the problem I am having. My first centerfire revolver and I can already tell I will never sell or trade this one. I did not find the ejector loose when I was inspecting the gun. When I shot it for the first time after...

Bullet, powder and other I will figure out myself or make another post. I went to Midway and got mired in the quigmire of choices for a set of dies to get started making quality ammo. This will be the first attempt from me to make truely accurate ammo for my gun. I have a CZ 527 Varmit on the...

I am ordering the rifle today and want to also order rings and scope. Trying to figure out if this combination is a good one. The T 36 has a 54mm Objective and 38mm Ocular. Rings I am looking at are available Midway product # 687393. These are "Burris 1" Ring Mounts CZ 527 Short Action Gloss...

Hornaday Bullet # 27200, I ordered these bullets last night and will need to pick up some powder for bullet and load. All I have for rifles is IMR 4831, probably too slow for what I want. I am just getting into target shooting. These bullets and load is only for punching paper, best accuracy...

Please see attached image. Note crack is the hinge. This is part 102 in the manual I downloaded from Kel Tec website a few days ago. My son bought this several weeks ago, used. No way of knowing round count or anything about prior usage. He noticed the cracks last night while inspecting the gun...

Myself and my son would like to attend a bench rest event or two to see if it is something we are interested in. We live in Midlothian, Texas and would like to stay local to the DFW area if we can, anything within a couple hundred miles is also doable. Any links to bench rest websites...

Can 357 Sig be reloaded with lead bullets? The loading manual I have "Lyman-Pistol & Revolver Third Edition" only recommends jacketed bullets. It says "Unfortunately, the short neck of the 357 SIG proved unsuitable for use with any of Lyman's cast bullets". I thought I would buy some lead...

I have reloaded rifle cartridges for several years but have been reloading pistol bullets for less than a year. I bought a Lee die set for 40sw and had good success. I bought a drop in 357 Sig barrel and Lee 357 Sig die set and have had some problems when I get to the mouth expanding and bullet...

Please see attached picture of a family heirloom pistol I have. I have thought for years that it was a Mark I but reading some descriptions on here I now think it may be a Standard. The family story is that my older half brother bought it new in 1954. It was between mattress during a house...

I bought an older Glock 24C (40sw) and got bulged brass with factory loads (unsuported case head). This made it unsatisfactory for what I wanted the gun for which was to load up at near max for a side arm when hunting. I posted in the sale/trade forum and bought a new 357 Sig barrel for it that...

I have been trying to find Accurate #9 for a full power 357 Sig load I have wanting to try. Ray's Sporting Goods in Dallas is a great store and a shooters friend. They have a good selection of other powders but said their distributer does not carry Accurate powders and the hazmat fees makes it...

I recently bought a Glock 24C, 40sw and 6" barrel. I bought and received yesterday a drop in barrel for it non compensated in 357 Sig. I ordered and might receive today dies, brass and HP/XTP 147 grain bullets. I have on hand unique and 800X which I can find recommended loads for. I also have...

I bought this new in 1999 and have been shooting very hot loads. It has also not received perfect maintenence. All the information I have is the breach plug should only be removed by the factory. I want to remove and inspect the condition of the barrel and breach plug threads and condition of...

I bought a used Glock 24 C this week. Interesting gun, my first Glock. It will be a range toy and maybe see some use as a sidearm when hog hunting. Going to take it to the range later today and try it out. I am thinking about getting a non ported barrel for it. I have an add in the "Gear and...
