G'day Pop,
I'm using the same loads in my Pedersoli Sharps and Chiappa 1886 out to 500yds at Little River for Buffalo shoots and 13 gns of Trail Boss and 350 gn bullets for Pat Garrett match. Easy on the shoulder and target plates.

G'day Troops,
Had a good run with Suzuki's, used every day for farm work.
Get an automatic and you won't go back - got the right gear in any terrain.
With any brand, maintainence is the key to reliability.

Mine was a S&W Mod. 60, Stainless with a 2"bbl and Pachmayer Grip we used to shoot 25mt Service match until the "Guvment" deemed them to be illegal along with 45 cal Semi Autos. Had to hand it in (they were only concerned with registered guns), so my Son and I took up Cowboy Shoot...

Rimfire ammo Down Under is at least double your price, if we can get it cos you fellas have been buying it all up :x . Haven't had a shipment of Federal target ammo since April 2009- expect the next lot in next Jan.2011. Just had a price on a Uberti 73 Short Rifle(Sit down before you read the price)...

So much for global warming!
Had a couple of days of 40 degrees celsius last week(about 110 in your money) knocked the cows and pastures about.

Congrats Dirtcowboy,
Y'all might be holding the lead but be darned if they 'll be domesticated.

G'day Fellas, Need to put a spring kit in my Vaquero's for CAS, anyone got some thoughts on this. Got Lee Gunslinger kits in my Rossi 92's but they won't return e-mails. I used to get springs from Brownells, but since you got your new president :twisted:y'all bin a hoopin' an'a hollerin' about, they...

G'day Dino, Looks like the new Chiappa with upgraded finish. Had 2 Rossi 92's in .357 mag. The first wouldn't feed at all so it was send back to the Importer, the replacement wouldn't feed .38 special cases but loves .357 mag cases with a short round nose bullet. Also replaced action springs with a ...

At a CAS shoot, one less than knowledgable shooter loaded a borrowed '73 .45 colt with .357 mag shells. The firing pin had enough force to send the whole round down the barrel and it dribbled out the end. He was onto his third "shot" by the time the R.O. could stop him.

G'day Fellas

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Updated loss of housing is now over 1800 and more than 7000 people displaced. My home town of Warrnambool with a population of 25,000 has just sent 4 semi trailer loads of goods away today with hay and fodder(which is in short supply due to 7 years of drought)to...

G'day Fellas, Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts for the victims of the bushfires, heres an update. 181 confirmed dead but likely to top300, the Army has been brought in for search and recovery of bodies. Over 1,000 homes destroyed. Estimated 1,000,000 wild and domestic animals killed. Over 1,...

G'day AJMD429,
The rounds are being thrown clear of the action from the lifter when it is raised without the round being chambered when the lever is in the down position(1/2 way through its stroke)mostly it is the last round in the mag.

G'day Fellas,
Have just bought a new rossi 92 in 357 mag, it is spitting out the last round when the carrier is raised and the lever is at the bottom of it's stroke. Can anyone shed any light on this.
Cheers
