    Plum any good for making pistol grips?

    OK, so where is the best place to dry it? An attic that is likely 120-degrees most days this summer, a garage that is probably 85 to 90-deg, or under a bed in the house in the AC at say 73-deg? I have a bandsaw and the pieces are no more than say 8-inches diameter so I can cut this any way...

    Plum any good for making pistol grips?

    We just had a thunderstorm roll through and it took out a plum tree that I had planted when our younger daughter was born (she is 17 now). I don’t have a chainsaw as my father has a bunch and I normally just borrow one but this was small enough I chopped it up with an axe. In the process I...

    Is Expensive 22 Ammo Worth It?

    Cheap bulk pack ammo has far more duds than better ammo too. I don’t use cheap bulk ammo for matches because it is less accurate and too meany dead rounds.

    Anybody use a Dillon Square Deal to load 45 Colt?

    Ok, thank you. I figure if it handles 45 Colt then anything smaller will be easier but after 9mm and 45acp the handgun round I shoot most is 45 Colt

    Anybody use a Dillon Square Deal to load 45 Colt?

    I just picked up a Square Deal B and it came with 9mm and 45acp setups and I am going to start there. I am curious though does anybody use it for the bigger handgun rounds like 357, 44mag, 45 Colt or possibly 454 Casull? Honestly it might be moot for the 454 Casull as I have the dies for my...

    question on 10-22 with subsonic ammo

    Try different loads as I’ve had challenges with some too. My favorite is CCI Standard Velocity. It is subsonic out of my rifles and pistols and tends to be cleaner and cycles my 10/22s. I also have had good luck with the Remington Target and Federal Gold Metal Match loads. I can’t tell you...

    45acp cylinder in a 45colt hunter

    I had similar thoughts in the past and wondered who could make a custom cylinder for either a 45 Colt Hunter or 454 Casull Bisley Blackhawk? I have been hoping for a 454 Casull Bisley Hunter to be honest but could be a long wait.

    Redhawk with sleeve and shroud vs Reg barrel

    I am glad I have a good assortment of RedHawks and their value just jumped as I wouldn’t be interested in a sleeved barrel unless it was half the price or close to it. I wonder if RedHawks were not selling well to justify price increases so to keep prices the same they are making them using a...

    .454 Casull or .480 Ruger

    This is a fun topic. I went the opposite direction most are suggesting as I have the 7.5-inch Duper Redhawk and 6.5-inch Bisley Blackhawk in 454 Casull. These are certainly not guns for an inexperienced shooter and you don’t go to the range and shoot off a hundred rounds for fun but they are...

    Need source for 5.56 (.223) and .308 FMJ bullet heads

    Ah bullets, here I was going to cut the tips off my bullets and sell them to you and see how my headless bullets still shoot. This might help you in the future

    Redhawk vs. Super Redhawk

    I’ve been very sick. I managed to develope an an I ear ear problem that has screwed up my hearing, cause vertigo, severe tinnitus, migraines and balance issues. I have been out of work for over a year and had to sell the lions share of what I once had. I still have a few and I stop in every...

    Redhawk vs. Super Redhawk

    I wish Ruger would make a NEW model Redhawks with the Super Redhawk grip frame but without the extended “nose” over the barrel. Simple enough and make them in 41, 44, 45 to start with 5.5 and 7.5 barrels and do them in blued and stainless. Later add some with the scope mounts on the barrel and...

    Single Six and Single 10 frames the same?

    This may be a silly question but I was handling my single 10 and Single Six hunter and my mind made me start wondering if I could buy the parts to convert the six shooter to a ten shooter. I am sure the cylinder pawl is different and perhaps others but if one was able to get a ten shot cylinder...

    What's Your Dream Ruger Revolver?

    Wow, we all have the same dream! A "New Model" Redhawk on the Super Redhawk frame without the scope mount and extended lug. I think my dream would be a 5-inch barrel and 45 Colt! For the longest time I also wanted a Bisley Single 10 but I managed to buy a custom job someone else built and I...
