So far Power pistol has given the best accuracy out of my 1911 Sig. This is with a 230 gr. Hornady XTP. I like it!

I guess I am just lost. I bought my NIB Ruger Blackhawk Convertible 7 1/2 inch barrel in 45LC & 45ACP 3 screw in 1971. And it is without dought my favorite SA Ruger and I am lucky enough to own several of them mostly in 45LC`s. I keep hearing ever once in a while about people wanting to shoot 45...

2 dogs just fixed up both cylinders on my 45 convertible Blackhawk. Very fast turn around, and he did an excellent job. VERY reasonable cost also. There is a heck of lot of reaming to do on a 45 acp cylinder! He has been getting a bit of grief lately about not having a set price per job. The...

Not that kind! Get your mind out of the gutter. Had a chance to burn some powder yesterday, but the wind was quite gusty, and I didn't want to have to chase my chronograph across two counties. I had brought along some water jugs, so I tested a couple of loads. Sorry folks, trying o get the...

You are correct in that I do not have a micrometer, and I agree that it makes sense to correct one thing at a time! I appreciate the common sense approach, which is very much lacking in the world today. I thank you for the quick response, and will have to definitely do some cleaning before...

Thanks guys. Yes, have been VERY disappointed in the accuracy. Did take one white tail with it however shortly after buying it. I knew it would have to be a very close range shot, and had a place where that kind of shot would be most likely, so took it there. 25 yard shot on a 6 pt with a...

Hello 2dogs, I am a new forum member. The first posts read so far have been about your work on Ruger single action cylinders. I have a .45 convertible that I have owned for several years now, and haven't used in quite a while. I can't say that it definitely leads badly, but can say that the...
