The Original Lumpy Gritz

Give it a try, you really have nut'n to loose. Let's hear how it goes. OLG

First, make sure ALL screws are tight. If it still acts up--- Place a .005 steel shim between the left cartridge guide and the receiver. See what that does. OLG

Me 2 OLG

Nope, just fat-fingered the k'board is all OLG

No such rule about felt hat only. In fact, if you would read the rules. Hats are only required in a couple of categories OLG

Would that be a 'clean' shoot? I'll go to my room now. OLG

Wonder how many pages this will go? BTW, Wranglers are SASS legal, no requirement for hats or shoes. Get'n the pop-corn ready OLG

Any gun. I shot those loads a S&W. Fairly mild. OLG

We're in SW Springfield and loving it. Sold our 950sq ft Ca home for $240k, it was paid for. Bought a 1500sq ft 4br, 3ba all brick beautifully cared for home with RV parking in a great neighborhood for $165k, we just wrote a ck. Gas is $2.49 here and cost of living is 1/2 of CA. Car registration is for 2yrs and no SMOG tests. Missouri is a Constitutional carry state. OLG

Try 6.5-7.0gn of WW231 with that lead bullet. Use a firm roll crimp. OLG

SASS in not WB WB is not SASS OLG

Less chance of a out of battery discharge with the 73 OLG

Most common bbl length there is with 5.5in run'n close second. OLG

Load'em up, you'll never now the difference. OLG

Try 5.5gn, and use a firm roll crimp. OLG

Think I know the gal you're talking about in that toy store. Many months ago I was shooting my S&W .44 mag Mountain Gun and she gave it a go. OLG

It's the powder I would go with if Unique was no longer made. At this point I only load .45acp with it. 231 was developed for the .45acp cartridge. Yes- HP38 & WW231 are the same powder. Just like WW296 & H110 are the same. OLG

.45 Colt should not even fit into your .44 shell holder. OLG

Coat fittings and bolts etc. with copper anti-seize when you reassemble. X2 on the Sea-Foam Deep Creep, it's fantastic! OLG

BB, buy 2 of those springs OLG

Not bottom self in any way. Try Buffalo Trace & Bulleit. OLG

Bet there's a limiter in the mag tube. My 24" bbl Cowboy in .44 mag came with one. OLG

Dirty gun and 15lb hammer spring don't mix well. BTDT I wouldn't go lighter than 17lb. YMMV, OLG

You can still use it on your loose screws OLG

How many rnds will it hold now? What mods have you done to the mag spring or follower? 18" bbl is iffy for 10 rnd count. OLG
