Re: Need some Electrical Advice--Help Please.

You have an open neutral. As previously stated the motors are 120 volt single phase and the element is the only device onboard that is 240 volt. Check the neutral connection back to the main service panel. Did the electrician measure from phase to neutral at the dryer? Single phase power problems re...

Re: RANGE REPORT: H&R .357 Mag Handi-Rifle & a QUESTION?

For what it is worth I have never seen that Blazer 158 grain 357 faster than 1050 fps in a 6-1/2 inch revolver. It feels like a hard shooting 38 to me. So that 1255 fps or whatever is says on the box is not what the round is doing. With that said a full power round might just bring down the POI. Bob
