Great price on a slightly used revolver!!!

As noted, you don't need to do a lot. The above photo is at the edge. Any more and the shells will be too deep. For a collection of good stuff: https://marauder.homestead.com/files/Double1.html And next two pages.

Interesting: #4 Shot .13" diameter 3.25 mm

W231 is a very good powder for most pistols, if not the "greatest." Herco shines with 9mm. Both are older powders, so we may see a little more soot than the newest powders. But when I started reloaded, 231 was considered much cleaner than the "original" smokeless powders (Bullseye & Unique). A few years ago, the makers have even "cleaned up" Bullseye and Unique to be better/less smoky.

A neat idea. Of course, some experienced writers/shooters input would be helpful. Some ideas are not in stages because we already tried them!! And suffered through them

That would be a fun challenge.

Long ago and far far away, we shot Marlin's with microgroove barrels for SASS. It became THE SASS rifle. (I have a photo of a rifle side match at EOT in 1999. Out of over 20 shooters, there were 2 92's, one 73 and the rest were all Marlins.) That was before folks figured out how to optimize 73 style rifles so the 73's were not quite as reliable and generally a little slower. We did a lot of testing and once again after Marlin returned to the older "Ballard" style barrels. Folks said the microgroove was better for jacketed bullets but would work okay for lead. In the experimenting we found that at SASS velocities (and a little above) the microgroove shoot as well and usually better than the "standard" barrel.

WE thank the Lord for you all. May you have a special day to giver thanks and have more memories!

Suppressed rifles are essentially always above 120 db, pistols even more. Very easily picked up. Suppressed 22's over 100 db. Most if the barriers (Often merely nets) are not solid was as we so often have. We see some clubs shooting from inside a building, shooting out of a window. Be sure the TO has his arm out of the window to pick up the shots. Of course, the TO may have to move the shooter a little to do that. . . Yes, that will work. If you don't have a timer like mine, you need to buy one like mine. . . Any donations for clubs using the standard PACT and Competition timers we've used for a decade or two?

Ask your smith to check the lockup of the gun. A main weakness of the Stoeger is that the lockup tab does not fully extend into the locking slot - thus decreasing the surface area and greatly increasing wear. When he adjust the tab to almost fully fit, the lock up will last quite well. https://marauder.homestead.com/files/Stoeger2.html http://marauder.homestead.com/files/stoeger3.html

Not as many as I wish.

A big help!

Some new brass also have a little bit of rough edge at the top. Resizing helps, but I check and lightly touch up with a trimmer/de-burr.

Nice!

Those hulls were the cat's meow when I started. Only an issue if someone stepped on them on hard ground. I've got a few hundred that I haven't reloaded for a decade or more.

I think the depth perception is more useful for movement, etc. But everyone's eyes and brain work a little differently. One thing is with both eyes open, you get more light. The trick is to train your brain which eye to prefer in dominance.

Nice! It is so interesting to look at the spreads of matches and see where the "larger" split is. I'm just wonder why the match was closed? ?

There has been a LOT of studies about this , especially in all the action type sports. Some cannot open both eyes, but if you can, it is definitely an advantage. You can actually see better, have better depth perception and have a much wider view.

5744 was a great powder that fit where almost no other powder did. Pretty slow for a pistol powder that worked well in larger cases. And a nice quick powder for rifles as has been mentioned. I don't know of an equivalent powder. H4198 MAY be close for burn rate, but not sure if it would work well. If nothing else, give Unique or Universal a try. A little faster powder but very versatile and not as fast as Red Dot.

How heavy were they? Oh that's right, they are the light version!!

Great job, Nonstop!! Well deserved.

Another great loss! Prayers for his family & friends
