    Uberti 1873 SA skipping

    Hey guys, I bought an 1873 Uberti Cattleman revolver recently and with the gun totally stock, shot three boxes of shells through it with no problem. It’s often recommended to replace the colt style flat sear/bolt spring in these with a wire type spring for durability. I changed the spring...

    Hodgdon load data for 220 swift and 22-250

    I was looking online at hodgdons reloading data for the 220 swift and the 22-250 and I was kind of surprised to see that the results of hodgdons testing was that these two cartridges were much closer in performance than was commonly believed. In many bullet weights the 22-250 either matches or...

    Poor finish on stoeger cougars?

    I was looking around at a local hardware store yesterday and three pretty neat looking little pistols caught my eye through the glass. Three brand new stoeger cougars. I had heard of the stoeger cougar but never handled one. I got to looking closer and even through the glass i could see there...

    questions on bore leading

    I am loading 40 s&w for my cz 75b. I use a Lee tumble lube SWC hard cast WW lead bullet. Since I have owned this gun i have used four different powders. Unique, Bullseye, IMR SR 7625 and hodgdon clays. An interesting thing that I have noticed is that I have fired about a total of 200 rounds...

    Original 1911 Prototype

    So I was always under the impression that the "original" 1911 designed by John Browning had an internal extractor. There is huge debate on the internet over the internal vs. external extractor on a 1911 pistol. These discussions ultimately end up with somebody saying that John Browning...

    S&W Model 60 Pro Series

    I am wanting to buy a compact CCW gun and am considering the pro series model 60 with the 3" barrel in .357 mag. Does anybody have any experience with this revolver? Any comments on the 3" vs. the 2.25" barrel model 60's? My current CCW is a 5" SW1911 so any model 60 is going to be easier...

    44 Magnum target loads

    This is for all of you handloaders out there. I have a S&W 629 in 44 mag with an 8 3/8" barrel. I have been trying some load development for it lately. I have an accurate full power load and have the gun sighted in for this load. I have experimented with reduced loads for practice, because...

    22-250 rem twist rate

    I have always found it interesting that the "standard" twist rate for a 22-250 barrel is 1:14". My 22-250 shoots great but anything heavier than a 55 gr. bullet is not going to stabilize in a 14 twist barrel. Now the .223 rem seems to be available in production rifles with faster twist...
