Slugged my governor barrel. Pushed a 45 cal 230 gr LRN bullet through it. Bullet measured 0.450" Dia after slugging. A little tight for a 45 LC barrel, but it shoots them OK. Anyone else Slug their barrel and if so what did it measure?

The S&W Governor does a decent job at 7 yrds with 45 Colt Cowboy action loads for this 70 yr old, bifocaled shooter.

First time I ever had this happen. Today I was shooting some 45 LC loads through my Taurus Judge, 2 1/2" 410 Mod. Load was 230g homecast LRN over 15.0g IMR4227. IVs for 8 shots ran from a low of 300 fps to a high of 425 fps, ave iv was 378 fps. Every fired case had 20% 0r more unburned...

I know this site is full of serious loaders and that Taurus Judge style pistols draw the ire of more serious shooters, but I will post up my thoughts and solicited your reactions. After some reading up on the subject of loading .410's for The Taurus Judge I am thinking of trying the following...

Several months back I started out on a quest to solve part of my shooting problems by getting glasses made just for shooting. Problem was I just wanted ONE PAIR that would work for both pistol and scoped rifle. AND I HAVE THEM!!! I was in the Liberty MO Sam's store one day so I walked into...

Picked them at the Sierra factory store. Wasn't aware that there weren't any loads for them in my manuals. So if any of you have ever worked up a load for 220gr SMKs in a 308 that you would share, I'de appreciate it. Wonder if the Sierra ballistic software has a ballistic curve for it?

I am having difficulty getting my scope AO adjustment, Paradox adjustment, and progressive bifocals set and aligned so both the target and cross hairs are in focus. I believe the biggest component that needs resolved is my glasses. I am trying to find an optometrist in the KC area who is savy in...

Chamdered a reloaded 308 cartridge that measured 1.625" case head to Datum line, and had a hard bolt closing. Removed cartridge, marked the case shoulder with a majic marker and re-chambered. Another hard bolt close. Removed cartridge and sure enough, the majic markered case choulder showed...
