Re: SAA in .44 Spec vs .45 Colt
Can someone explain the fascination with an SAA in .44 Spec when there are .45 Colt available? I can't understand it either. The .44 and the .45 are both limited to 14,000 CUP in the SAA, and both shoot similiar weight bullets at similiar weight velocities. I guess the deciding factor would come do...

How long was the shot? How fast were they flying? :) Not sure how fast they were going. They passed a 767 that was on approach. I took the lead reindeer at a lasered 987 yards. They kept going until I dropped the 2nd one. That stopped them, but the shot was just over 1420 yards by then. The dang sl...

I suspect that the fast powders are not position sensitive and the slow ones are. Slower powders work best when they either fill the case or are held against the primer. My guess is that you are correct .. but it's just my guess. However, 50 years of reloading most everything from .25 ACP to .475 L...

Primers have a lot of power. Mic McPherson can speak to that better than I, but here is a test you can run that I got from him... With sized, primed cases, seat a bullet normally in a cartrdige and crimp it in place. Take the other and fill the case with plastic or cardboard wads, seat the bullet so...

New Life is hardly a cult. Of course there are those who think that everyone who ain't in their group is a cult.
