      looking for store bought effective 357 hot loads

      Problem is current 357 ammo is downloaded compared to years ago . The old Federal red box 357B load with the 125gr Hyshok JHP was the one-shot wonder back in the day . Expansion was violent . Overpenetration on felonious bipeds is the 357's biggest problem regardless of bullet choice . All that...

      looking for store bought effective 357 hot loads

      Pick a caliber that you can shoot well & allows you to make rapid multiple hits on target . 38 special / 9mm or larger preferred , but only if controllable . Can't stop what you can't hit.......

      looking for store bought effective 357 hot loads

      Full blown 357 load for inside the house out a 2.5" . Have you ever shot a 357 in an enclosed space w/o hearing protection ? Possibly in a low light situation ? Best hope there's only 1 & you nail 'em with first shot . If you have to , try it sometime . About a week after the ringing stops...

      Trimming revolver brass

      Polish the pilot down with emery cloth . Chuck it up in a cordless drill / screwdriver & polish away . Shouldn't take long to remove a few thousandths . Only time I've ever trimmed straight-walled handgun cases was for a S&W Model 52 38 Special Target Semi-auto . Trimmed all cases to 1.145" so I...

      7mm Rem Mag

      Cases will last longer if you full length resize just enough for case to chamber & headspace on shoulder . Just like neck sizing but also bumping shoulder back a tad .001 - .002" .

      Smith&Wesson Hand Ejector 1905 4th Change /trade

      2 most important sources of reference on S&W are Jim Supica's Std Catalog https://a.co/d/eZId5dj & Kuhnhausen's repair manual https://a.co/d/9AA2ahb . Amazon links . S&W's Military & Police Model has been the company's bread & butter since 1899 . Has been upgraded & refined over the years ...

      Smith&Wesson Hand Ejector 1905 4th Change /trade

      Considering that it's the most commonly produced model & quality of refinish I stand by my assessment . Add the " Goodyear " grips & I double-down . Attached are pics of a collector grade 1905 4th 38 M&P 1920 vintage from my collection with original box & original Circassian walnut grips...

      Alchemy pistols

      The difference between a Cabot gun & an Alchemy gun are intended use . If one is a Master class or higher & wants a competitive gun that'll take them to the winners circle ( if they do their part ) at Camp Perry , they get a Cabot . If one wants a well made gun with flawless fit & finish & old...

      Alchemy pistols

      Hard fit will do that @ 50yds . Gun that won't group that tight will not be competitive . The difference between winning & losing often comes down to X count . Since 90% is in ones head , there's no room for doubts about your gun or load .

      Alchemy pistols

      Rob Schauland is the GM of Cabot & owner of Alchemy Custom . Depends on who's concept you want a gun built to . Rob has built guns for John Shue & Brain Zins under the Cabot banner ( both past & present Nat'l Champs ) . Only point we disagree on is barrel fitting as he does not hard fit unless...

      Opinions on Glock 30.

      Have a Gen 3 30S . I use the 10 rnd factory mags as the extra helps with grip . Also polished internals , a minus minus connector & fitted a KKM barrel . I also shoot Bullseye & shoot a ton of lead so the KKM . Better accuracy @ 25yds too , but factory is fine as most use factory ammo . Nice to...

      Revolver trigger work

      S&W 's are one of the easier DA revolvers to do an action job on . Springs are the half-assed way & may bite you on the ass on a SD gun . Polishing of internal parts , good quality moly paste / lube does wonders . Most of the internals are only case hardened to a depth of only .003" & if you...

      Changing out revolver barrel

      If S&W does the work , it will be done to OEM standards with approved tools / technique . Plus factory warranty . Now for me it'd depend on what dash 686 it was & rather it was 6 or 7 shot . If it's a dash 4 or earlier ( especially an early pinned barrel ) & you shoot lead bullets Leave It The...

      Buying Reloaded ammo

      Check with Roze Distributing ( retail arm of Zero Ammo / Bullets ) & Precision Delta . Both are commercial mfgr's & have a number of options for 38 special wadcutter ammo much cheaper & as good / better quality . Many PPC & BE folks buy from them . I use Zero bullets in all my match ammo in...

      Smith&Wesson Hand Ejector 1905 4th Change /trade

      Back then only 2 finishes were polished blue & shiny nickle . Nickle being the more corrosion-resistant of the 2 . Yours appears to be either electroless nickle or possibly hard-chromed . As stated if in good mechanical shape should be a good shooter with standard pressure loads & lead bullets ...

      Smith&Wesson Hand Ejector 1905 4th Change /trade

      Granted it is a 5 screw & pre-war . Finish is not however factory nor original . Zero collector value , shooter if mechanically sound . Most common model that S&W manufactured , GLWS .
