I'll probably order some more plated bullets from Xtreme today on their 17% off sale. I have some of their 158 grain SWC, which feed and shoot OK in my 24" Rossi 92, but hit a little high with the stock front sight (about 3 or 4 " high at 50 yards). I'll probably replace that sight eventua...

As you are semi-actively looking for a K-frame, do not bother looking at loads below 148 grains as the jump of the shorter bullet to the impact of the forcing cone has a bad habit of cracking the barrel where it is cut out for the crane. No problems with heavy bullets though. Although a steady diet...

If your GP 100 likes 180s, then go with that. My Rossi likes 180s better than 156s (though the 156s are still quite adequate.) I cast & load a custom 358180 WFNGC and push them pretty hard (1800fps from my 20"). They are still safe in my SP101 and move to 1200 from the 2.5" tube. Anyt...

Getting 3 tons of LOX and kerosene into each engine EVERY SECOND is about as impressive as anything else about Apollo that I can understand (which ain't much).

tl;dr What bullets or molds work well for the Rossi, and at what velocities? I recently bought a 92 .357 stainless 24" octagonal with the original front sight and a Skinner aperture on the barrel. I've shot it a couple of times with various handloads I've cooked up from bullets I had laying aro...

AJ, that .35 Rem is sweet! I'm jealous.

Any engineers around who can calculate the yield strength of a .22LR cartridge rim? Implicit in your hypothesis is the requirement that the rim be able to bear briefly something like 800 pounds in tension without deforming much.

I am more concerned with the potassium permanganate and glycol. I prefer Ice Cream cones, and they smell better. (I know someone on here other than me knows what happens with kmno4 and glycol or glycerine) Yep. That trick was shown to me at a middle-school level summer camp. Fun stuff. You can imag...

Thanks! So the case mouth is scraping up against the rear of the chamber?

Wow, it sounds like I've been lucky! My new (lightly used) M92 24" SS octagonal feeds everything I've tried in it so far from .38s with 125 lead RNFP or JHP to 358429 Keith SWC in .357 brass @ 1.64" COAL. The dummy rounds I made up to test the action before purchase fed fairly roughly exce...

Load-X – “My EDC is my daughter-in-law's old cowboy action shooting setup.”

I picked up a stainless .357 24" octagonal barrel over the weekend, so I'll need to search for other threads on what abuse *that* gun can take. Feel free to point me to your favorite threads on that version of the 92! It's likely that I'll also pick up a .44, after my bank account recovers from...

SAAMI max is not exceeded by any BB loadings. The Rossi is a strong gun capable of shooting SAAMI spec ammo. Quite a few of their loads are labeled +P. In my humble experience, that means that the load exceeds SAAMI max by 10%. The round in question is labeled +P+. As I understand it, that does not...

BB has a .44 mag load that they call a +P+. They don't list the Rossi as supporting it's use. Is the .44 mag Rossi not as strong as the .454 Casull version?
