8 grains of Power Pistol is under 16,000 psi according to Quickload. This was ran with a NOE 429421 that weighed 263 grains with my alloy.

Ditto. Shoots better than anything else in both my 6.5 inch and 4 inch .44 Specials. Look no further with a 250-265 grain SWC.

3x may not seem like much by todays standards but I can tell you that with the same scope on a .44 Magnum carbine 150-200 yards works just fine. I have shot out to 300 yards with that setup and not...

I have a couple of the Weaver V-3 1-3x20 scopes mounted on pistol caliber carbines and I agree it is a great little scope. Perfect for woods hunting and 4" of eye relief would definitely make it a...

Burris made the 1-4x Intermediate Eye Relief Scope back in the late 90's - early 2000's. I bought 2 of them and they are great for the hard kickers. I have them mounted on an H&R .450 Marlin single...

One thing about these "copper enhanced alloys" that I found out right from the start; 700* - 750* and use the ladle, not the bottom pour. You will be very happy with the results.
