The 'light dusting' of maybe a 1/2" of snow predicted for our valley SW of Denver last night at 10 pm has turned into a full on snow with at least 3" on the ground and still snowing with about 2+ more hours before it moves out. That's enough snow that the snow plow just went down our stree...

Anyone have hard data on the 357 round v barrel length question? Yes, I do for 20" and 24" Rossi 92s in 38spl & .357mag as well as for 19" and 24" Uberti 66/73 in .45 Colt. The velocity differences vs barrel length are very much dependent upon the powder chosen and bullet we...

Well, it's a balmy -8° in our back yard and snowing right now at 10 am. Pin Point weather forecast it at -5° going down to -7°at 6 pm tonight so I guess we shot right past that already. They're forecasting that it will start to 'warm' a bit (-2° by midnight) and continue to 'warm' until by Wednesday...

They showed a map of the US with the temps and wind chill factors and this cold snap is affecting the entire middle of the country. We don't have it bad in Colorado compared to the middle northern states and like them, we're use to this weather and prepared for it. I'm concerned for the lower states...

It's a balmy -5° here this morning with a windchill of -14°.

That's warmer than last night when I went to bed. It was -8°.

And Monday evening is when it's supposed to get really cold!!!

One reason I like 'Bisley' grips for sure .. I've tried them and while better, they still aren't as comfortable as a semi-auto's for me. One reason for me is that I got my right wrist and forearm damaged in VN and the weakened wrist is susceptible to pain with any torquing. For instance, I've shot ...

I think that all of the responses support my post; the preferred barrel length and sighting setup is mostly a function of preferred use, not an absolute rule. But that only seems logical to me as you'd likely not bring a bolt gun to a machine gun match or a machine gun to a 1,000 yd sniper match.

COSteve

Got both a 20" carbine and 24" rifle in .357 mag and they both are good at what they're outfitted for. The answer you seek is totally dependent upon what you want out of your .357 mag levergun. The different barrel lengths have different strengths and none are perfect for everything. The 2...

Wow! Highest I've gone so far with a Zero 158grn JSP bullet, Winchester .357mag brass, 18.0 grns of Lil'Gun with a SR primer is 2,005 fps also out of a 24" barrel. Now that's an easy load with low impact on my brass but I'd have to go compressed to fit more powder in the case. Edit to add: The ...

At 76, I feel recoil more than I use to as my muscles aren't as firm and arthritis is creeping into the mix in some places. However, recoil in a revolver is felt more than in a semi-auto because of 2 things different in their designs. 1st, the bore axis of the revolver is much higher vs a semi-auto'...

Thanks, but we don't have an issue with them and our garbage as it's inside the garage. However, we do have an issue with our built-in BBQ in the back yard on our walk-out rear deck. The bears would smell the meat and head up the stairs for it all the time so a number of years back, Parks and Wildli...

COSteve

I don't see the big fuss with bear sightings. We have them in our front yard at least once every year.

This is last year when our neighbor accidentally left out his garbage can on the side of the garage. I took this from inside my living room.

Unfortunately, that sounds like a lawyer joke.

I don't think we actually disagree. After talking to Steve I did get the .45 Colt Uberti rifle and later got a .45 Colt Uberti 'Yellowboy' carbine. I stick to standard pressure loads for both and think that absent wearing them out with ammo, they'll do just fine. My concern is with those who choose ...

COSteve

I don't think it matters if it's the total pressure or just partial pressure because if the percentage of thrust transferred to the action via the bolt is roughly the same on the various calibers, then it's a fact that the newer calibers are exerting a significantly higher thrust on the bolt and the...

COSteve

Nath, consider what you just said. You said that the case expands to tightly grip the chamber walls. If that's true, and it is, then the base of the case can also stretch allowing the base of the case to thrust against the bolt face. All of us reloaders who reload necked rifle calibers know about th...

COSteve

I love the '06 caliber and also heard that Howas are excellent rifles. If you reload, you've got a very versatile caliber there as you can load bullets from 110grn all the way up to 225grn with load data available on Hodgdon's site. I've tried 150, 165, 168, 175 and 180grn bullets in my Model 70 Win...

I talked to Steve of Steve's Gunz at length in early 2013 before I got my Uberti '73 in .45 Colt about the design and strength of their actions.

I've found that the less boxes you check, the more data you get. I'm just selecting the caliber now and seeing what comes up.

All part of the plan to destroy religion and keep the radical left in control for ever.

After using only irons on my AR15 Carbine for 2 decades, earlier this year I got a wild hair and added a small, cheap reflex sight to my rail.

On the subject of plinking bullets, I've had good luck with X-Treme 150 grn FN .308 they make for the 30-30 along with some W760 powder in reduced loads for about 2,000 fps. Cheap, decently accurate and with the reduced load, even the ladies like to shoot them in my walnut stocked Mossberg 464.

I've got to agree with Griff on this. I bought both a .357 carbine and rifle in 2009, used Steve's parts and followed his video and both mine came out reliable and slick as snot.

Thanks for the info and good luck.
However, it seems from your brief that you have a strong argument with compelling facts so I'm a bit surprised that it has gone this far.
