Bulldog, The reason you are having problems with the band slipping is it should be in front of the front mount instead of behind it. It isn't intended to take recoil, it is a stop to position the scope for the next shot. You pull the scope back to the stop, and when the shot is fired the scope remai...

Chances are better that it was done to reduce the bearing surface which would allow for higher velocity without increasing chamber pressure.

But I have the writings of Elmer Keith, published data from Alliant/Hercules over many years, and quite a bit of chronographed data while I was developing .38-44 factory load equivalent loads for my Outdoorsman.

If you think the .38-44 level loads are equivalent to a slightly loaded-down .357 Magnum you are nuts!! A charge of 13.5 gr/2400 in a .38 Spl. case actually has a higher loading density and, therefore, higher pressure than the previously Alliant/Hercules listed maximum for the .357 Magnum of 15.3 gr...

Neither the .358 Winchester nor the .35 Whelen is "Blown out"! Both cartridges are simply necked up, the case body and shoulder remain identical to the parent cartridge.

Bag Balm is Lanolin based. The major component of many older, and probably current, case sizing and bullet forming lubes is Anhydrous Lanolin.

Thanks for the response.... Let me see if I'm getting this. If you have a load that brings the shorter .32HR case to X pressure then you load that same load in a longer .327 case the pressure is less? And the opposite if you move a load from .327 to .32HR? So just based on case volume alone, if you...

Absolutely correct!!!!!!!

You shouldn't use .25-35 dies, the shoulder position and angle are not the same and can result in excess headspace . This applies to .30 Remington/.30-30 for the same reason.

Nice find too!

The '92 was designed for tapered cartridges, not straight cases like the .357 Magnum. Feeding the .357 is marginal at best and was only accomplished by changing the feed rails from the original design. Back in the 50s and 60s when the original '92s were being converted to.357 and .44 Magnum feeding ...

The reason why I ask is, ammo companies are famous for neutering various cartridges performance in the name of liability, (or selling something new).

First time I have ever heard a bullet manufacturer call bullets "heads" . For that matter, first time I have ever heard ANYONE call bullets "heads". :shock: Then you probably don't know anyone from Chicago, New York State, New Jersey. Very common terminology, annoying, but common.

Does anyone know where I could get a walnut stock and forearm for a Rossi M92? I would like to do some upgrading but I cannot find anything through the usual sources. "Furniture" consists of the metal fittings on a stock, not the wood stock. You are far from the only one to make this error.

First, it would be helpful if you had said what cartridge. For some reason everyone seems to assume .30-30. Try loading some 150 gr. bullets and take the gun out and shoot it. Chances are at 100 yds. it will shoot within 2" of your current sighting for the 125s. If it does everything is good ju...

Yes, the 141 trigger is somewhat difficult to work on without compromising safety. I have had several of these over the years. They have a fairly typical trigger for the days in which they were designed, heavy maybe, but I would not say bad. Accuracy with a rifle is largely a function of trigger con...

Ballistic Coefficient isn't nearly the factor it is made out to be. Simply pick a bullet of same weight and similar shape from the bullet makers and use that number. The difference of even 100 pts.
