      Dan Wesson Bruin

      I think you will be pleased. I bought a Dan Wesson Razorback in 10mm a while back, it is a fine piece of equipment. Fit and finish is excellent, and the trigger reset is as good as I ever felt on any 1911, including the semi customs, i.e. Les Baer. I have been eyeing a Dan Wesson Guardian in 38...

      10mm 1911 Options

      I'm obviously not CM but I do have a Dan Wesson in 10mm, the Razorback. It is one of the nicest 1911's I own, and that is several. The trigger, especially the reset is incredible. I have two Les Baer's in .45 ACP and I would put Dan's against either one for overall fit and finish and general...

      Action Work & New Colt Revolvers

      I've been a Colt revolver guy for probably forty years, for whatever that's worth. I really haven't heard of anyone, including me, that thought the new Colt's needed action work as they are really nice out of the box. That being said, never trust the corner 'smith to work on a legacy Colt...

      Lead contamination from handling ammo?

      I hand load approximately 10,000 rounds of ammunition a year with hard cast lead, a lot of which is shot at an indoor range, although I don't cast bullets myself. I think standard caution applies in this. I wash my hands well with cold water (keeps pores closed) after handling lead and usually...

      I just bought a new chainsaw - and it's a bit intimidating

      I had a 25 inch Stihl several years ago, unfortunately someone decided they needed it worse than I did and it disappeared out of my unlocked shed. That thing was a beast. Please be VERY careful, those big saws have their place but for general limbing and working up stove wood a 16 or 18 inch...

      Anyone still like Single Action revolvers?

      Big fan of the single actions here, a Ruger Vaquero in .45 Colt, a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 magnum, and the pride of the fleet a Colt SAA in .44/40. Unfortunately my photography skills are weak.

      Remington Model 788

      I have a 788 chambered in .222, its a laser, more than a few groundhogs realized it after it was too late.

      Might be looking for a new bank

      I understand that a bank is a for profit business and I'm fine with that, profit is not a four letter word. I thought banks made profit by taking my deposited money, giving me for all practical purposes zero interest and loaning same money to others for a higher interest rate. That is where the...

      Any Vintage Handloaders Out there?

      I've used up all my stock of cardboard canned Hercules powder except for about half a pound of Reloader 7. Unique is my go to powder for a lot of calibers, 44/40, 45 Colt, and 45 ACP especially, use an eight pound keg a year. It's vintage, been around since about 1900 I think.:):

      To Deprime or Not Deprime?

      That's it right there. With all due respect to those who deprime and wet tumble, it seems like a lot of work for no reward.

      So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

      45 ACP, with Green Dot, could be the most overlooked powder ever.

      intentional training

      Take the class(es). You will be amazed and what you will come away with. Take classes with highly respected trainers that are local to you and take classes from nationally respected trainers. In most cases you will learn in usually a few hours what you will never learn on your own or from a...

      Cop draws on pack of kids on El Paso

      I agree and also look like a current group of thugs.

      So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

      I slugged my third gen. Colt SAA at .428 groove diameter, thus using .429 lead. The chambers all slugged at .432 and was a little concerned as I would have liked the chambers more on the order of .430 or so. The gun shoots very accurate with .429 so I'll stay where I'm at, shot 50 or 60 rounds...

      So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

      This is my first experience with the Redding Profile Crimp die. The Lee FCD crimp portion seems to work fine for me in some calibers but I don't care for the post sizing part of it. I went to great lengths slugging the barrel of the .44 40 due to so much possible variation in .44 40 groove...

      So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

      Loading .44-40, 200 grain RNFP over 7.5 grains Unique. Those paper thin necks caused a little heartburn at first but it looks like I have that sorted out. Using .429 diameter bullet to give .001 over barrel groove diameter, and ended up using a .44 magnum expander to avoid bulging cases...
