Re: Vaquero cylinder locking up...help?

Sounds like the locking bolt is jammed. The hammer shouldn't be able to be cocked with the loading gate opened on the New Model. Unless they have changed things recently. You need to remove the grip frame to set things straight. The trick will be doing this while the mainspring is under tension.

Re: 264 Winchester Magnum

I love how every one believes all of these "barrel burner" myths. They make me laugh. If you clean a barrel properly, and not over heat it, it will last just as long as any other caliber that burns a similar amount of powder, with a similar sized bore. You never hear the 270 WSM called a b...

Re: Jacketed or lead bullets in my single-action revolver?

You don't say how hard these bullets will be. At 38 Special velocities there will be minimal expansion, or none at all with a hard bullet designed for the 357. A soft, pure lead cast bullet should give some expansion. Another option would be a swaged slug. You may even be able to find some copper pl...

Re: Vamint Bullet for a 270 WCF

As I recall, one of my most accurate loads with the 110 hp was 58 grains of H4350. It was a bit hot though. They de-primed themselves, and I could seat new primers with my thumb. They would fall out before I could load the powder for the next load most of the time. I wouldn't recommend that one.

Re: Vamint Bullet for a 270 WCF

For a lot of years, my only rifle was a 270. I hunted everything from potguts (ground squirrels) to elk with this old Remington 700. The Hornady 110 grain hollow point was superbly accurate, and accounted for many hundreds of jack rabbits, rock chucks, and potguts. There usually wasn't much left to ...

Re: OT: I hate damp socks ......

The first thing that I would check is the heating element. I've gone through 4 (maybe 5) in the dryer that I have had for 20+ years. They are not hard to change, but remember to unplug it first. 220v really hurts.
For a diagnosis, remove the coil, and look for a break. It will be obvious.

Re: 41 Mag fans

They are kind of like every gun chambered in the 32 Magnum. A lot of people want them, but don't buy them until they are out of production. Then they can't afford them. So they sit around and wish for them. I wish I had one of each.

I would go with either the Ruger (first choice) or the Browning. I would also opt for an integrated suppressor rather than a screw on model. Then the added length is no longer (pun intended) an issue.
