Appreciate it both of you, they came out great. I love the two tone look.
-
I had my cylinder, hammer and trigger all TiN coated and I shot them with pyrodex no issues to report. The coating was done beginning of last year and those parts look the same now as they did then.
-
I've used the pyrodex 3f in 38 special with 125 gr bullets, roughly 20 gr by volume and 12 guage 1 oz with 60-80 grains by volume. As will be said alot in this thread I'm sure, clean your guns thoroughly after shooting asap and do so again the next couple days.
-
Appreciate that Ruger I'll do that and we'll have another pale rider show down soon.
-
Please excuse me if this had been clarified but I seem to have missed it. If the rifle has a round left in it, on the carrier, and it leaves the shooter hands is it a MSV immediately or only if they shoot another gun after?
-
I might give that a shot myself, I like to load 'em full and putting 75ish grains of the real stuff is going through more of my stock than I would like. Might switch over to pyrodex shotshells for the next match and see how that works. Appreciate that!
-
I've still got some from before I could find the real stuff. But it's on the back shelf till I run out of the real and can't find it again. Hopefully that doesn't happen.
-
Appreciate the new comments. Just putting my own experiences out there, I used pyrodex in 38 special cases in a couple shoots across the last 2 years. Both nickel and brass without ever seeing anything like this, using the same tumbling recipe/procedure. So far with 44-40 I've only used real black. But again I can't confirm the history of these particular cases as I've been gifted quite a few.
-
Appreciate your insight Sedalia, I will restrict them to pistol brass, just incase. After all a split in the pistol won't jam me up like it would in the rifle.
-
Appreciate that, I'll load them up and try them out in the pistols so that if they fail in some way it doesn't affect as much as in the rifle.
-
Seems to be the consensus, hard to resist shiny brass, but I'll give it a shot.
-
I appreciate your selfless offer but I think I'll go ahead and keep them. I'll see about updating the thread in a couple months when I shoot palerider again and clean my next batch.
-
Fair enough, I'll back off and see if I have better results.
