Steve,

Got big hands, do ya?

That's my only objection to the large framed Glocks, they do be biggish.

What ballistics do you get with that six incher? Not asking for loads.

Cat

Catshooter

There seem to be two differant sizes, 10 x 32 and 7/32 x 40. Good luck finding the second. You can try here: http://www.victornet.com/cgi-bin/victor ... ,1170,1171

Good folks and they may be able to help.

If you reload, and you care to, those velocity numbers can be raised signifigitly. Most 9s are loaded with fast to very fast powders, which only makes sense when you consider the barrel lengths of most 9s. Slower powders such as Blue Dot will really make a difference. Enjoy.

Cat

Catshooter

Nope, ya done good. Them sinkers will work for any bore that they are larger than. Just drive 'em in, if there is much of a difference in size the excess will just shave off at the entrance to the bore. Measure carefully, gently with the micrometer. Caliper may or may not give you an accurate readin...

Excellent info 86er, thanks.

So we should stay away from the ones stamped "Charco" and "Charter2000"?

I am really looking forward to their new .45 ACP revolver, that sounds enticing.

Cat

Catshooter

Good heavens! What does one do with that much venison? Did they catch the poaches?

I really don't mind a man poaching a deer to feed his family in hard times, but I think that's not the case here.

Here in eastern South Dakota it's snowing, eleven degrees with a 20 mile an hour wind.

So, I'm staying inside. The weather inside is very nice.

Where is that know-it-all Al Gore when you need him?

When I run low on food, I will use the guns, ammo, etc. to take your food, your fuel, your generator, and whatever else I need. Friendship, comraderie, neighborly cooperation, etc. goes only as far as you're prepared to put your and yours well being in jeopardy. I'll stay in the country. Our place ...

What Hobie said is very true, some like 'em and some don't. I love my American Derringer in .45 ACP/AR. rjohns, Yes, you have it correctly. Mine also shot high, 12 inches at 15 yards. So I cut off the front sight and dovetailed in a new blued one. Don't like stainless sight anyway. Now it'll put bot...

Catshooter

Thank you very much gentlemen. 53,941 You just saved me some money on an "antique" that isn't.

Cat

Can anyone tell me the serial number cutoff for the antique 94s? The ones made pre-1898?

Thanks.

Cat

Catshooter

Very nice project Mr. Perry.

To measure a slug like the ones you show, I would wrap a thin feeler gauge around the slug, measure, subtract twice the gauges thickness and Bob's your uncle.

Very nice rangerider, thanks for the extra photos.

range,

Nice belt. Who made yours? Would you post a pic with it laid out flat please? Thanks.

Cat

I think buffboy nailed it in one.

Cat

I would post more data if you will.

Mould maker?

Projected as-cast diameter?

Shape and configuration of the boolit?

How many cavities?

Mould material?

And last, but most important, cost.

Cat

Catshooter

Sheesshhh. I'd say even for 40 years of collecting yer doin' pretty good. Very nice.

Cat

Catshooter

Shoot with both eyes open. It can take practice. But you can see more/better with two eyes than just one, fact of life.

Cat

Catshooter

Gettin' old is for the birds, but it beats the alternative.

I have a Savage 23 that I had to mount a receiver sight on as the rear sight was too close for me to clearly see. Oh well.

Cat

I can see that I didn't post well when I called the OP a troll. So I apologise to him and the board in general. The lack of smilies in the OP concerned me. I've seen a lot of forums corrupted or ruined by hard feelings and the last thing I wanted was for this place to turn into GlockTalk. I'd seen s...

In my Winchester Trapper (16") my load of 20 grains of 1991 vintage Hercules #2400 shows 1570 fps with a Keith 260 grain.

Cat

I think the original post fits the definition of troll. If it had been a joke/tease that would be different, but I didn't see any smilies. It was a mostly politley worded post, but troll nonetheless.

Cat

I use a put-together 94 in .38-55 for my levergun silhouette match rifle. The 375449 Lyman gives me a 285 grain bullet checked and lubed. I've been using blown out .30-30 brass exclusevly and AA 2230 powder for a 1780 fps load. Very accurate combination and if I do my part the rams don't stand a cha...

Catshooter

Good post Hobie. This is a class place, thanks for the reminder.

I try to post as if I'm in the room with the other posters and we're all armed. It's not allways easy, but you're right, the best path is either click to a new thread or assume the best, not the worst.

Cat

Catshooter

Hobie, Don't feel bad for being a 'hoarder'. I think the other term for it is 'planning ahead'. Of course not everyone has the money to stock up and some just now are getting into shooting. And for those guys I feel. The others, not so much. I haven't bought primers in two years or so and very likel...

Catshooter

A Brinnell hardness of 15 is fairly hard. I would not expect expansion in a critter. You will get penetration, even at that velocity. With that size meplat you probably won't recover a bullet from a deer. A larger meplat would be better (from a killing point of view) but I would think the bullet you...

Catshooter

Very nice set up Jim.

It would be nice to know who's mount that is. I'm 55 and can still use the irons, but that day is coming, I'm sure (I hope!).

Just two nights ago I was looking at the NcStar scopes for just this purpose. If we're lucky, getting old happens to all of us.

Cat

Catshooter

SJ,

I shoot 260 grainers out of my Trapper in .45 Colt at just under 1600 fps. Neither straight wheel weights or ww/50% pure lead will lead the bore. The 50/50 mix is a known alloy good for mushrooming.

Cat

Catshooter

Nice rigs RR7.

Girls. There's a good reason we put the sign on the clubhouse.

Cat

Charles uses the same method I recomend. Works well, is fast and easy to do, and very easy to touch up.

Thanks very much jumbeaux. I'll go look see.

I missed the thread by Hobie about the 7 year storage of the cap & ball pistol. Can someone post a link please? Thanks.

Cat

Catshooter

How can you CCW without a short gun? You mean some of you guys don't?

It must just be me, I don't understand not carrying . . .

Cat

Catshooter

morgan,

The best answer is to write to S&W and get a factory letter for it. Then you'll know. Most everything else is guess work.

Besides, maybe Smith will tell you it was sold to John Wayne or something! You never know.

Cat

Catshooter

Nice write up Steve, and I agree completely. If a person doesn't save money by reloading/casting then they don't shoot hardly at all. For those of you with messy benches, Lloyd Smale over at the castboolits forum recently had his reloading/casting building burn to the ground and he credits the fire ...

This is so on topic today. I've been looking for a Bisley Blackhawk for a while not caring if it's 45 or 44. But if I was to buy a new one it would be 45 just because I have all the reloading stuff. I stopped buy the gunshop today to order up the 45 Bisley , when here they have a used 44mag in exce...

I've had two rifles in .45 Colt: Winchester 94 Trapper weighs less than six pounds, Taylor's 92. This one had a half round 20 inch barrel, so it weighed exactly one pound more than the Trapper. I can run the 255 Keith at 1570 fps from the Trapper for a full silhouette match, no sweat. One round out ...

<-------------- I earned that name. :) Had a friend with about 35 nasty feral cats infesting his barn/milk house. I use a second year production 1911 Colt that had been accurized, Smith sights, and the H&G 68 at about 1000 fps. Worked a treat. Left a finger-sized hole, no muss, no fuss. Ah, good...

Catshooter

My 38-55's bore is .3795 and that is also the size of my cast Lyman 285 grain RNFPs. I shoot 30 grains of AA 2230 under 'em and they go better than two inches at 50 yards. Give right about 1750 fps. I use them for our lever action silhouette match. Knocks them chickens aflyin', I'll tell ya.

Chances are high that the holster will form to the G36 and that the piece will be un-harmed. I formed a holster for a 2.5 inch 19 Smith to fit my 3 inch Mod 29 Smith. Put some Saran wrap around it and soak the holster in rubbing alcohol, not water. Worked a treat.

Cat

Catshooter

My twenty grain loads of #2400 push my 257 grain Keith out of my Trapper at 1570 fps. The ones with twenty two grains recoil a bit more than I like, but I haven't chroned them, sorry.

No leading with either and they both shoot better than I can.

Cat

Mike, What an excellent post. I'm usually disapointed when someone bails on a forum. It's hardly ever the guys I think would do the forum a favor by leaving! :) You are certainly not one of those people. Glad you re-considered. Love the sinner, detest the sin.

H&R/NEF may not catolog a rifle in .45 Colt any longer, but it is still listed in their accessory barrel section on their web site. $80 or so if I recall.

Cat

Thanks for the report Ted.

Usually vertical stringing is caused by poor or improper ignition. If all is well with the firing pin, hammer force and such like, then go to a different primer maybe. Good luck.

From the looks o' that belt on the far side of the 'camera' there's been a few speeders that got, uh, corrected.

BenT just proved J Miller's point.

If one doesn't have the money, that's the way it is. Or if one is just starting out. But if not either of those and you didn't stock up, well too bad, so sad.

Do you know who he is RR7?

Cool photo.

Cat

That is true, soul-filling satisfaction.

Unless you're hunting mice at 100 yards, either rifle will do it's part if you do yours, and obviously you can.
