I wonder if a man might be better off with that 180 bullet at around 1100 FPS out of a handgun and about 1400 in a levergun? You can do that with about 12 gr of 2400 and not bend anything.

Scott Tschirhart

My .357 flattop has no real forcing cone. But it must be lined up right because it really shoots. Not all revolvers are set up this way.

Scott Tschirhart

And maybe this has something to do with it:

A lot of younger people (by no means all of them) lack perspective. This is why you see so many teen suicides. They do not realize that things get better and worse as time goes on. I think that people without some life experience tend to be easier to manipulate. Right now we have a lot of people who...

I almost think that the increase in the volume of calls I am getting might be related to a political contribution I made to the Trump campaign. I say this because maybe 50% of the calls I get and answer, there simply is nobody to talk to. Maybe someone wants Trump supporters to get frustrated and ch...

Scott Tschirhart

I think you are right. I ordered $6 worth of plug screws from Midway. Thank you.

Scott Tschirhart

Why not just put plug screws in those hole? Unless ya go all the way to weld em up and blue ( ruining its orignal condition) atleast the holes will be filled preventing dirt, snow from entering the receiver. I'd have to figure out what size the holes are. All of the plug screws in my parts box are ...

Very good observations my friend.

I actually did a loading bench video recently:

Scott Tschirhart

I'm so sorry to hear this. Praying for everyone involved.

Scott Tschirhart

Tutt,

You are far too kind. But thank you.

Scott Tschirhart

The truth is that if you shoot it enough you won’t have trouble if you ever need it. I shoot mine regularly. I generally put a cylinder full through it every week.

Scott Tschirhart

It’s always been a great shooter.

Scott Tschirhart

I still have Kate. I just don’t take her out a lot these days. I actually haven’t shot a lot in the past few years and I’m revisiting this now.

Just FYI the front sight on this sixgun used to be very difficult for me to see as it wore pretty smooth over the years. I can see it now.

Scott Tschirhart

I carry this every day.

Scott Tschirhart

If you take care of it, you won't have any problem. I think people worry too much about excess wear on the takedown parts. But I see a lot of old take down guns that shoot just fine. Keep it properly lubricated and you won't have any trouble.

Scott Tschirhart

Jim,

You remember what a beat up old gun this was! I don't know how they cleaned up the cylinder as it had teeth marks in it.

And I still have the original grip frame and stocks. I'll save them for another project.

Scott Tschirhart

The before photo.

Scott Tschirhart

Just gorgeous

Scott Tschirhart

Just opened the box.

Scott Tschirhart

Personally, I don't put a lot of faith in jello shooting. I know that a lot of people do. I still carry the same .45 ACP load I carried as a police officer in the 1980s. 230 grain Federal Hydra-shok. In my .357s I still carry the old Remington 125 grain magnum load with the scalloped jacketed bullet...

Scott Tschirhart

I wonder if the sudden flood of phone calls has anything to do with this? Last night we went out to dinner and I got a call that showed up on my caller ID as my bank......it wasn't. They were warning me about seeing some fraudulent transactions in my account. Sure enough, there were attempts to tran...

Scott Tschirhart

This 64 is a great shooter. No issues with function or accuracy.

Scott Tschirhart

I'd sure like to do that. This gun is mechanically perfect and has some honest wear, but those holes look terrible!

Scott Tschirhart

A beautiful Winchester Model 64......with extra holes.

Scott Tschirhart

You do get more of an increase than you might expect in a .38/.357 levergun.

Scott Tschirhart

That looks like a lot of fun. It would take me all day to do that with any revolver, and then it would be mostly luck.

I had one when I was a kid. If I had known better, I would have kept it. It shot exceptionally well, but it was heavier than a .30-30 carbine that I traded for.

Scott Tschirhart

I'd start at 6 gr of Unique and work up from there. I imagine you will end up at 6.5-7 gr. But I would not use these in a Charter Arms Bulldog. http://www.goodrichfamilyassoc.org/44_Special_Articles/Brian%20Pearce%20on%20the%2044%20Special.pdf Here is some data from Brian Pearce that may be helpful.

Scott Tschirhart

I find that my .38/.357 leverguns will generally shoot better than my .44 and .45 Colt guns.

However, that is not necessarily true with handguns in the same calibers. I think that some .44 and .45 guns have oversized bores, and they shoot better with oversized cast bullets.

Scott Tschirhart

We don't get much snow here. But when we do, I am always impressed with how quiet it gets.

Scott Tschirhart

That 3 screw is so pretty.

Scott Tschirhart

Very nice.

Scott Tschirhart

Very nice!

Scott Tschirhart

Such a useful gun. From light .44 Specials to stout 300 gr .44 Mag you can use it on anything.

Most of them are good to go out of the box these days, but if they aren't a little tweaking is all that is needed.

Scott Tschirhart

That's funny. I carry a revolver every day when I am in the City. It's not that I cannot run an auto. I have several and I enjoy them. But there is something special about what a short .357 can do up close and personal. When I am on the ranch, I carry a little larger revolver, but it probably will s...

Scott Tschirhart

That's a nice clean looking gun.

Yes, I just mounted one of those scope mounts on a Rossi. I posted photos while I was mounting it on this forum a couple of weeks ago.

Scott Tschirhart

So, blocking calls might just block someone you might want to get a call from?

Scott Tschirhart

What about a .480 Achilles?

Scott Tschirhart

This one isn’t delicate. But I think it’s elegant.

Scott Tschirhart

Sounds like a 264 Winchester Magnum from back in the day.

Scott Tschirhart

I get that that call about my car warranty is about to expire just about every day! How does some lady from Bangladesh know this! I wish she knew that I drive a 19 year old truck that hasn't had a warranty in two decades! :D I get a lot of those calls too. Extended warranties are a real ripoff. The...

Scott Tschirhart

That's funny Griff. But yes, those are the kinds of calls I am getting.

Scott Tschirhart

My phone is simply blowing up with calls from people I don't know. I generally get one or two a day some days, but I have had over 40 today!

Scott Tschirhart

The problem is that the US Government is supposed to be a government by, for and of the people. The government is supposed to be our servant to help do things that we cannot do indivdually. Allowing the government to control us is a big mistake and we should not allow this kind of thing in any part ...

Scott Tschirhart

I bought 8 pounds of 231 a few weeks ago. Who knows if you can find it now?

Scott Tschirhart

Seriously, that Buffalo Bore load is quite accurate and useful if all you have is a .357. A 180 grain WFN at those velocities is nothing to sneeze at.

Scott Tschirhart

They cannot control gun crime in Chicago or Detroit. How exactly do you think they are going to do anything on a nationwide scale?

Scott Tschirhart

We were banding calves and I was holding this calf, keeping his mouth shut and holding his back legs. His momma was worried and nosing around but not real upset. Then my hand slipped off the calf's mouth and he squalled. Momma hit me with the side of her head and I went across the barnyard like a b...

4.5 grains of 231 in 25-20, 32-20, 38 Spl. 357 Mag all with cast standard bullet weights for each caliber.

Now that is simplifying things significantly!
