Re: How do you get consistent throws from powder measure?
Some good stuff here, but one thing that I didn't see mentioned is the precision of the scale used. As near as I can tell from reading specifications, virtually all of the digital scales and mechanical balances are plus/minus 0.1 grains. With pistol loads (my 38/45 loads were less than 5 grains), th...

Re: New Look !!!
I find the orange font used for the topics to be nearly impossible to decipher. A darker color would make it easier. Other than that - I don't have an opinion on the rest of the changes.

Re: check out this mustang
For Ol #7 - There are actually two Crazy Horse P51s, The latter one in the Stallion 51 stable was painted the same, except at the end of the name is a very, very small roman numeral II. As far as I know both are still based in Kissimmee Fla (maybe someone can confirm that). And you can do more than ...

Re: Woods-Bumming Rifle Choice...

We have deer (plenty), armadillo, turkey, beaver, coyotes (heard but not seen yet) and rarely a pack of wild dogs after hunting season. The g...

Re: Tumbling brass
I switched to ss pins and tumbling a few years ago. I de-prime the dirty brass first and then tumble with a mixture of 1 tablespoon Tide HE (low sudsing) and 1/4 teaspoon of LemiShine/gal water. An hour is sufficient and the result is superior (IMHO) than twice that time in a vibrator with walnut. P...

Re: 38 Special load and holster
Rusty - According to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson (pretty much the bible for history of S&W guns), the all aluminum (frame and cylinder) was a run of 3,770 guns and the highest serial number reported to the Catalog authors is 44577. After that, it was produced as alloy frame/steel ...

AmBraCol - I may be one of those that failed to contact the administrator. I just signed up yesterday and I don't recall seeing the requirement to contact the administrator when I was registering. I received the activation/verification email and followed that link to complete the signup. Did I overl...
