  1. Heritage Arms in RI hasd a shelf full two weeks ago. They said they will be getting it regularly now. Last week I was at Cabelas in Hamburg PA and I couldn't believe the reloading supplies! Federal small and large pistol primers stacked up on the shelf for grabbing! Huge powder inventory.
  2. It just recently showed back up on shelves here in New England. A fantastic all around powder that can be used in just about everything from 38sp to 38-40 to 44-40 to 45ACP to 38-55 to 45-70.....a great Cowboy powder
  3. Certainly in in Wild Bunch? Mossberg 590 Retrograde 12 gauge 20” parkerized barrel. MSRP $688
  4. This is what it says on the web page..... "April 11-13, 2023 Belton Gun Club 153 Range Road (153 P-19-15) Belton, SC 29627"
  5. Back when I was building "Pipe Guns" I used 9mm barrels for 38 special loads......Smok'n accuracy! The .356 barrel was nice and tight for the .357 bullets......But in Cowboy, we simply don't need this type of accuracy Folks are asking, where do you learn this stuff.... https://www.montgomery.edu/nra/
  6. I have four Ruger NM Vaqueros in 38/357....Three from Jimmy Spurs and one I did myself.......All function great, three are extremely accurate. But one of them will put three shots in a tiny group and then throw two to who knows where. Usually 4-5" outside the group and sometimes the bullets entering the paper sideways. It's been years since I rebarreled a revolver. Years ago I used to build PPC "Pipe Guns" on S&W model 10 frames and I've done a few SSA revolvers. But it's been at least 15 years since the last one. My good friend, Tyler Tornado gave me a brand new 38/357 barrel for the NMV. I pulled the Rugers barrel and chucked it up in the lathe. Putting a dial indicator against the barrel shank face it was out of square by .004"! And the forcing cone was cockamamie....No wonder it was shooting so poorly. As it turned out, the new barrel was about 2 degrees positive which meant it had to go nearly 360 degrees for the sights to line up....Did the math on the thread count and faced off the shoulder for a perfect crush fit.....then shortened the shank for a .006" cylinder gap, half way between .004 and .008 which is the industry standard for B/C gap on this type of revolver. So, back to the range and now it's a shooter! I guess three out of four good Ruger NMVs is not bad...... I also discovered that I still really like gunsmithing, although I've not been doing much lately... (But I am in the process of building a Benchrest 22RF for 22RF silhouette matches)
  7. Yup, I lost $200 on an interloper on this forum......25-20 Brass.....Friends and Family......"Send us another $90 or we wont release the order"....SOBs!!!!!
  8. Not a Rolling Block, but this is an 1885 Low Wall I converted from RF to CF....Thought it might give you some ideas... http://rvbprecision.com/firearms/bring-another-one-back-dead-1885-winchester-low-wall.html
  9. Wet Tumble Discovery....Did a bunch of black powder shooting yesterday. I usually clean my brass in a wet tumbler with a dash of Dawn dish detergent, Lemshine and stainless steel pins. I was in a hurry and had no Dawn or Lemshine available, but I did have Hornady "One Shot" Sonic Cleaning Solution. I put a couple table spoons full with about three cups of water and I forgot to add the pins. After two hours of tumbling the brass came out way better than anything else I ever used! Amazing how clean the inside was. And no PITA separating the pins from the brass! My new GO TO for brass cleaning!
  10. Thank you! Good info. And yes, I should have put the components in order… Thanks Doc!
  11. Difficult to find here in MA...Need to take a ride to NH or Maine
