It's a coming!
Honestly, that seems beyond reasonable to me. I have never gotten to the range as much as I would like because I have to muster up the courage first. Nothing like a group of guys who can't pull up their pants muzzle sweeping the whole range with the shotgun they just bought from walmart at...- Sharadeth

Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum Pistol
Especially if you are running one of the dirtier powders. 2400 never gave me any issues, but imr4227 does leave some flecks that'll jam things up. -
Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum Pistol
I have been running 180gr RNFP over 13.2gr of IMR4227. I don't use mag primers so if you do, obviously back off on your powder a little. Something Something, I am not responsible for what you do with this knowledge. Speaking of which, I should probably get around to another batch here... -
Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum Pistol
What he said. Heck if you go that route then you might as well touch up the return spring channel, they are usually pretty rough and account for most grit you might feel in the trigger. -
10mm GP100
I love my Smith's but I'll leave you with the words of wisdom that a friend left me. You can make a Ruger as smooth as a Smith, but you can't make a Smith as overbuilt as a Ruger. If my GP100's are any indication, you can get them smoother than an unassuming ice patch :D -
Want to try recurve bow shooting
I can't speak for Lancaster archery but I'm sure they can get you set up. As for the Samick sage, I love mine. Just consider some string silencers and don't cheap out on the gloves :D -
Need to be reamed

Need to be reamed
Well the crown is about as smooth as can be after cleaning. The B/C gap came in at .005 with the cylinder pushed foward and .008 pushed back, which seems to be in spec. I think a trip to ruger going to be my way to go since I have nothing to loose except some time. I wish I still had some of...- Sharadeth

I think I may end up putting a wax slug down my barrel to check for thread choking. It it is there it will definitely ship it back to Ruger. I'm going to look around tonight for a feeler gauge to check my end shake since it seems pretty easy to measure. As far as other size and weights it's...- Sharadeth

That is an option I will keep in mind. It could be, albeit unlikely, thread pinching I guess? Only way for me to tell is slug the barrel and see if it gets tighter there. The leading is near the muzzel. Forcing cone and cylinder faces are pretty clean. It's more of streaks than anything...- Sharadeth

My throats came out to about .3565. Barrel I'm not entirely sure, haven't been brave enough to slug it due to the 5 groves.- Sharadeth

I do appreciate the look out though. Never know when I'll miss something pretty basic, I've been to do worse :o- Sharadeth
