    I posted this in rifle section with no response. I just purchased a rossi m92 trapper in .357. after 50 or so trouble free rounds the action locked up after firing. I found that if I pressed in on the loading gate it unlocked the action. I thought I found the problem when I noticed the screw...

    44 special and hard cast bullets

    i just purchased a 624 s&w revolver. i have 500 hard-cast bullets i used in my 629. it seems i remember reading that a hard cast bullet can actually cause some leading when used in a low pressure round like the 44 special. something about the gasses blowing around the bullet instead of...

    .454 powder questions

    I picked up a used bfr .454 3 months ago. Average group size at 25 yds is 3-5+ inches. The funny thing is i've have tried cast, jacketed and plated bullets from 230 gr to 320 gr and velocities ranging from 800-1700fps and not one load seems to shoot any tighter. All i am using is unique and...

    m94 "wintuff" question

    I just picked up a very clean "wintuff" m94 30-30. I like the look of the laminated stock and it shoots great. It had a scratch on the receiver that i was sure a little cold blue would take care of but it does not touch it. I'm not that familiar with 94 receivers. Are they made of a steel...

    model 94 accuracy question

    I just picked up a 80's something model 94 in 30-30. I plan on starting with the factory sights and may go to a tang or reciever in the future but NO SCOPE. My question is what kind of groups should I be happy with? I have a scoped rifle that I shoot tiny groups with and I don't want to be...

    What 29-4 do i have?

    I went with my son to a local shop today as he was looking at rifles. They had a 29-4 S&W with an 8(or so)" , full underlug barrel and unfluted cyl. Very clean and tight. Is this a "classic" or "dx" model?

    praise for bfr's

    i just got back from sighting in my new (to me) 6 1/2" bfr .454. i also have a 10" 45-70. i highly recommend this line of revolvers. imo, for the money they can not be beat. both these revolvers keep tighter groups than any of the others i have owned (ruger and smiths), and i've owned a...

    ar accuracy question

    I recently put together a budget ar with a dpms 16" bull barrel. I wanted to try the ar as I have had poor luck with finding an accurate bolt gun lately. Most ar tests show them to be pretty consistent shooter. I was pleased mine easily shot under 1moa right from the start. Is there a reason...

    629 accuracy

    I have a 4" 629-6 that I bought used. I've tried several factory loads and handloads that range from very light to near max loads with 240 gr cast and jacketet bullets. Accuracy is disappointing. The lightest and heaviest loads group the best which is 2 1/2 to 3" at the very best. I have...
