I bought a stainless Single Six in 32 H&R a few years ago from Davidson's and it is a nice revolver. I am going to try shooting 32-20 out of my 30 carbine one of these days when I pick up some brass.

elmo123

I have one of the new 40/10mm stainless Blackhawks and it is a nice revolver. The 10mm cylinder is more accurate than the 40 S&W cylinder. I am probably going to scrounge up a spare cylinder and have it rechambered to 38-40 down the line since I have an 1892 in 38-40.

elmo123

When I ordered it there was a picture of a 50 round box of brass so ordered 2 boxes which were back ordered so I was surprised when they arrived and found out there were only 40 casings.

elmo123

I have a 1911 that I fitted a barrel in 357 Sig and a 4006 S&W that I rechambered a 9mm barrel to 357 Sig for. It is not too difficult to reload for but you have to use bullets designed for the 357 Sig and factory crimp them to keep them from seating too deep in the case when feeding. One thing ...

Graf and Sons has Hornady 348 brass in stock as of yesterday for anyone that is interested.

elmo123

I bought one in 270 about 17 years ago after watching it keep coming up for auction on Gunbroker for several months. It is a tack driver and pleasant to shoot after I installed a recoil pad and peep sight. I have always liked the quality of the Miroku guns so much so I bought a 1886 lightweight and ...

elmo123

I don't know if anyone here is looking for this ammo or not but I thought I would mention it.

I had the same problem with the 45 Colt years ago when I fired them in my S&W model 25-5 that had an oversize cylinder. The casing were expanding too much when I fired them and after resizing them a couple times they would split. I eventually replaced the cylinder which solved the problem. It so...

elmo123

I have two in 9mm and one in 40 caliber and they all are very accurate. These are striker fired double action pistols that will also take a S&W 3rd generation magazine. I installed night sights on the 40 and one of the 9mm's. I gave a 9mm to my daughter and wouldn't have if I didn't have confide...

I recently had that problem with my 9422 and ended up replacing the hammer/main spring and that corrected the problem. Depending on how many rounds you have fired through your rifle I would also check for a broken firing pin return spring. Mine broke about ten years ago and a small coil off of the s...

elmo123

That was all they furnished no velocity was included. I have shot a few of the factory loads but have not ran them across the chronograph yet.

elmo123

For those of you that have purchased some of the new Hornady 110 FT bullets for the 25-35 I contacted Hornady about loading data and they responded with the following,

20.4 - 27.9 Leverevolution with a WLR primer.

elmo123

A few years ago I bought a RIA in 10mm and fitted a 40 S&W barrel to it and have fired the 10mm several thousand times without any problems so far. I installed a buffer that helps with the battering that occurs from the heavy recoil. The 10mm really barks when fired indoors and is much more powe...

About 40 years ago I bought a Winchester model 770 that was originally chambered in 222 Remington that someone had re chambered to 222 Remington Magnum and boy was it accurate. I foolishly traded it for something else.

elmo123

Has anyone here used Trail Boss with cast bullets in the 348 Winchester?

Thanks, Mike

elmo123

Go to the Model 94 in the products section and on the right side of the description is an options section, it will show the other calibers. Don't feel bad I missed it the first two times I looked at it. Maybe this is the reason Hornady introduced the new load in 25-35.

elmo123

I use it for the RCBS 200 FN out of my Model 71 and it turned 6-8" groups at 50's into 3 shot cloverleafs. I didn't heat it up and I wrapped it the opposite of the rifling so it won't unwrap.

elmo123

That's about the size of the groups I am getting with H335 and iron sights.

elmo123

I shot some of the new FTX's yesterday and they seem a little hotter than my 117 loads with H335 but extraction was fine. They were just as accurate as the 117 loads. I did however have some 87 grain Remington sp bullets explode when they struck the paper target which has never happened before.

elmo123

I tried pouring it through a coffee filter but that was a mess and a waste of time. After it has been filtered it works as good as when it was first poured in the sonic cleaner.

elmo123

I like my sonic case cleaner but the fluid has never lasted more than a couple sessions before I had to change it because of the dirt but I finally found a way to clean it and reuse it. I use a pond pump that I bought from Harbor Freight a few years ago for $8.00 to pump the water off of the top of ...

According to my 1979 Winchester parts catalog the magazine tube band uses a pin to hold the magazine tube in. Winchester lists the band as part number 14066 and it shows that this part is only available if you send the rifle back for fitting. I have a 1968 20" Classic that my sons has now but I...

elmo123

There must be enough of them to warrant Horandy to make these loads and components available. USRA made some new 25-35's before closing up shop years ago.

elmo123

I have an 1892 made in 1896 in 38-40 that has a barrel that looks like the inside of a rusted sewer pipe and the rifling is very faint/missing at the end of the muzzle and this rifle shoots 2 1/2" groups at 50's. I had a 98 Mauser in 8mm that had about 6 inches of faint rifling just in front of...

Thanks and Merry Christmas

elmo123

I would think the method mentioned would also prevent the liner from being pushed out of the bore. The liners Brownell's has listed is for the lower velocity calibers, 25-20, 38-40 & 44-40 and as long as the liner has a good crown the end of the bore at the muzzle could be oversize and it wouldn...

elmo123

Graf's Reloading has the new Hornady 25-35 loads in stock if anyone is interested. I ordered 2 boxes to see how it shoots. The bullets aren't in stock yet.

I am just looking to reline it and keep it a 25-35.

elmo123

Has anyone had experience relining a 1894 barrel in 25-35 with a 25 caliber liner?

elmo123

.376 which is probably why the .377 Lasercast shoot better.

elmo123

.376 and I have even left them unsized and lubed them with Lee lube and the both shot the same. I have loaded them slow, 900 fps up to 1400-1600 fps with the same results.

elmo123

I am in need of some assistance. I have a BB94 in 375 and it shoots jacketed bullets fine. My problem is I have tried using the Lyman 248 grain 38-55 bullets with various powder charges, Trail Boss, RL7, IMR4198 and Red Dot, nothing seems to work because the bullets strike on the verge of key holing...

elmo123

I used to have the same problem and then I bought one of the thermal temperature guns and learned that my steel molds have to be about 250 degrees to cast decent bullets. I usually rest the cold mold on the edge of the furnace while the melt is getting hot enough.

elmo123

I have had numerous fired cases failed to extract out of my daughter's Ruger SR22 with the AE ammo.

elmo123

I bought one last year and it is very accurate with 124 grain bullets.

elmo123

I had some Remington 210 gr 41 magnum bullets on back order and recently I was notified that they would no longer be available as a reloading component which is too bad because they shot really well out of my revolvers.

elmo123

CZ 455 combo. I have one in 22 LR / 17 HMR and purchased a .22 Magnum barrel from CZ. It allows you the option of shooting all 3 calibers with one rifle.

elmo123

I worked a double homicide where the only caliber used were two .25 auto pistols and the shots were fired from 20 - 30 yards away by two 18 year old males. Say what you will but these two guys were were just as dead as if they had been shot by any larger caliber.

elmo123

I found that after forming 25-35 from 30-30 the cases were too long so I had to trim them before they would chamber in my rifle.

My 94 has a rough bore but it shoots amazing good, 2-3" groups at 100's with the Hornady 117 rn which is out of stock everyplace i have looked.

elmo123

I had one 30 years ago and it shot nice but had a habit of breaking the extractor.

elmo123

I picked up a new P-11 last month and have fired it about 500 times without any malfunctions. I can use me S&W 5900 magazines in it also which makes it more versatile for me.

elmo123

I have a 5mm Sheridan that i replaced the seals in and installed a Williams receiver sight on and it shoots pretty good. I bought a new "Springer" a few years back and could not get used to the spring slamming forward when I pulled the trigger. I ended up giving it to my brother. Other tha...

elmo123

I have a few S&W handguns that have mim parts and have not had any problems and I noticed that on the S&W parts the mark for the hole in the mold is raised and on this part it is a depression which is where my part broke.

elmo123

This is the second new Ruger that I have bought in the last two years that has had issues. The first was a SR-22 that went back to have the barrel replaced, this drug on for six months after being sent two new magazines to try to see if it would correct the problem, it didn't. I don't have a problem...

elmo123

They are MIM parts and it broke right at the dimple. I was thinking of buying a Blackhawk in 30 carbine but I don't think I will.

elmo123

Well I spoke too soon about the quality of my new Ruger. After only 150 rounds of Cowboy action loads the tip of the pawl broke off. I called Ruger and they sent me the wrong one first and after a second call they are supposed to be sending the right part. Has anyone else broken a pawl in Ruger?

When I was a kid about 12 years old the local Optimists club put on a gun safety course for the kids at the local police range. One of the instructors who looked like George Nonte had an Automag in the case with both sets of barrels, 357 & 44. I was in awe when he opened the lid to the case. Thi...

I made a trap that I use in my garage for testing loads. It consists of a wooden box 14"x14" in the front and 2' long. It has an old bullets proof vest in the back and an old mud flap in the front. I filled it with sand. It has stopped everything from my 5mm pellet rifle to the 30-06. If y...

I have used the 44 magnum brass and it was pretty thin.
