I have a B-92 project gun that had a badly bulged barrel and shot 240s just fine before I sawed the barrel off . . . Assuming you rebuild your B-92 in 44 mag I’d be tempted to use a pistol spec barrel with a tighter bore and faster twist. Rifle chamber reamers in 44 mag also include a long throat, ...

If you review the SAAMI spec for the 44 mag in a rifle and compare them to the SAAMI spec for the 44 mag in pistol you will find they are virtually two different cartridges. Different barrel and chamber dimensions. The pistols have a tighter barrel diameter and twist whereas the rifles have signifi...

If it groups factory white box 240Gr JSP, Because if it does, then it's OK. If it groups 296Gr it's a gem. Ours would not group 300Gr jacketed. It's the twist rate issue. It was designed to shoot one load at one velocity. My pistol's 405Gr would not cycle, but single loaded it went sideways by the t...

Both work with the original hammer on the percussion revolvers, so no modification there (and thus the flexibility to switch back and forth).

No, all religions are not equal. True. If they were they would have no one to fight with. So each one has to style itself different than the other and proclaim it is THE ONE TRUE religion.
