      10mm

      I've run into this with a .357 load, but in my case, the bullet moved forward out of the case and stopped the cylinder from moving. The first shot was actually pretty good, but I'm going to have to rethink using them in magnums. Even with a good crimp, the bullets jumped forward. Didn't have...

      10mm

      It's funny how barrels are measured. For a revolver, the actual barrel is measured, not including the cylinder length. A semi-auto it's the length of the barrel, including the chamber, so muzzle to the breech face. A bullet from a 4" revolver travels the same distance as a bullet from a 5"...

      10mm

      BTW, I also haven't cronoed it from my 6.5" Ruger Blackhawk yet, as I purchased that after the range session. Next time I have a decent weekend open and can get to Clark Brothers, I'll take them all out to test this load out. Current list of 10mms: Dan Wesson Silverback SA 6" TRP Operator...

      10mm

      I use a just below max load of Blue Dot behind a polymer coated 180gr lead bullet and get over 1400 fps with no pressure signs. I have tested it in a Dan Wesson Silverback and a S&W 610 with 4" barrel. I have not tested (and used a cronograph) this load with my Ruger 3" GP100, 4.25" SA XM10...

      Clay Shooters are an "Interesting" Bunch

      I take one of those fold up wagons whenever I go to an outdoor range. The shotgun goes back in the gun sleeve in my cart when I'm not shooting.

      Tristar Viper Youth model

      PG trap and skeet rents Beretta shotguns. They come in a variety of sizes. Might want to take her there to try different sized shotguns instead of guessing and hoping someone has that shotgun.

      AR 9 Colt Mag Variations- Beware!

      I've not run into that issue with ASC mags, but I use a dedicated 9mm lower, not an insert.

      Any of you folks shoot lever guns?

      I'd go with the Marlin. S&W is still new and may have teething problems.

      To build or not to build?

      I used to reload for th 6.8 SPC, great cartridge, just stockpiing the ammo for now. Anyway, I got a lot of good info from https://www.68forums.com/forums/ My most accurate loads were with 110gr Accubonds. I used up all of the powder and bullets I had that were from the same lot, have about...

      A $5000 shotgun?

      I used to shoot sporting clays every once in a while. I either take my Browning Superposed (both were under $1200 each) or I take my most expensive shotgun, a Benelli M2 Custom Shop 3-gun Edition ($2400). The Benelli has a 10-shot tube, which sticks out past the 24" barrel. I get the...

      Looking for 5.56 Stripper Clips

      Back when I was shooting at Quantico, I found a bunch of these under the bleachers at the satellite range. With the way the they ran things around there, you'd think dumping those behind the bleachers would be forbidden.

      I have a craving for a S.S. Marlin 60

      I picked one up for $130 a few years back with the same problem. Fortunately, the store I bought it from had someone who could take care of the problem.

      Well this was a surprise...

      I saw one of those (basic version) a couple of days ago at a local gun shop.

      Carry Handle Mounted Red Dot

      https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450259/ On`a side note, it took me a month and a member here to get a carry handle upper receiver for a build I did a while back. It actually turned out pretty nice. Wish I could get a stock like is pictured above but I gave up on that a while ago. Mine has a...

      Python Progenitor

      I do like my Trooper 357, although my Trooper Mk III feels a bit stouter.
