    I’ve thought of that, but knowing how sensitive revolvers are to changes in bullet weight, I’d be afraid that POI wouldn’t match POA in my 22-4 that’s regulated for 230s.

    Now y'all have me thinking about my Winchester M94 in .30-30...I don't remember the last time I shot it. Suggestions for a cast bullet load? Looks like there are 170-ish-grain bullets out there.

    IME, Winchester's NATO-spec hardball has harder-than-standard pistol primers. I had to bump up the mainsprings in my PX4s to get them to run with that stuff; they needed 11-12 lb. ones or the...

    Yup, it’s similar to the old Nyclad. It’s also less smoky when shooting. I load my own practice ammo and I’ve switched to it, once my remaining lubed bullets get used up I’ll be all coated bullets....

    My Hornady 7th Edition manual shows that bullet with a "muzzle velocity range" (no definition given) of 700-1400 fps. Lucky Gunner's gel testing using Clear Ballistic gel (yeah, I know...) showed...

    I emailed him to ask about the velocity from a 4" barrel, and he replied that it's ~900 fps. That would be really nice for my 4" M19 if it expands at that velocity. If it doesn't, I'd be afraid of...

    There's no magic. The flat nose is the part of the bullet that does the damage, and it's bigger on a wadcutter than on a flat nose or SWC. Having less air space in the cartridge gives a theoretical...

    Please note that Hogue has changed the way the J frame Monogrip attaches to the way they work on other frame sizes, with that metal stirrup and screw. You can't do that mod on the current ones. :(
