Sort of on task…I built a pseudo-DMR on a Sporter HBAR receiver I bought a small eon back. The upper has a Colt HBAR cut to 18”. It makes small groups. It is 1994 preban. Not so sure about collectible..it has the large pins and press in block at the rear of the cut out. It wears a Colt...
And it is measurable. I heavy crimp every 44 Magnum round I produce. Also I don’t use plated bullets nor heavily used brass for heavy loads since the bullets are slippery and the brass has lost its resilience (big time bullet cteep). For low level loads not a problem.
I wasn’t worried about the 6” length…that is mandated im Maryland. Many manuals give velocities from 5” barrels. My query of your load velocities was to estimate what I could get from that 6” barrel. I have the components to develop a load so its off to the races…
I have a 5.5” Redhawk in 44 Magnum. Also have a 7.5” Super Blackhawk in 44 Mag as well. I don’t want to carry the 7.5” if I can help it. The 5.5” does not meet state regulations. Nor doesbthe 5” 10mm.
I was curious about the hype about a 6” 1911. I must say with Underwood hot stuff it is...
Good to know. Thanks.
I was curious about the P80 builds…mostly because the angle of some of the grip frames…less rake. Anyway, the P80 craze jacked the Glock parts prices up so high I couldn’t see the sense of it. One day maybe I’ll do the grip angle mod on my Gen4 G17.
Your information is very useful and appreciated. Your posts have always suggested credible info. My concern is 6” minimum barrel requirement for Maryland deer hunting. I have a 45 Super which develops similar velocities. My estimation I can safely handload similar energies as your 10mm loads...
Thumbs up…several times
I get the impression the new Pythons are tougher relative to the action resilience.
I have a Pythons…I’d opt for the Anaconda…when the list gets short enough.
Here are links to an inexpensive press and pullers/collets. Note, research well, some pullers do not accommodate
pistol or lead bullets.
