Amen to that - you described the situation to a "T". About the only powder I remember seeing available regularly was for 50 BMG. There were also a couple of other rifle powders available on occasion...

Man, well done Mr. Clause! That's one seriously nice revolver. Should do well on your hog hunt. Congratulations!
The original poster asked: "Just wondering for those that lived through the last drought, what powders became the most sought after?" so that's what we're commenting on, not about having trouble...
Gosh, yeah I remember 2008 and especially 2013 like it was yesterday - hard times. I still have flashbacks and wake up in cold sweats, especially about 2013. I shoot mostly revolver (handgun steel...
Do you know if the Keith driving band was large enough to seat the boolit into the throat? I'd think if it did it'd be the cat's meow. I don't remember reading if it did or not. By any chance do you...
Roger that on the WFN/LFN. Another one of the reasons I was asking is because I'm planning on going on a guided bear hunt in AK, black bear mind you not brown, and so I ordered the 45 caliber (for 45...
Thanks for the info Tazman. That's very interesting. I figured it would improve accuracy but never talked to anyone that did it first hand.
Up to this point in my life I've worked up some decent loads in my revolvers using both off-the-shelf boolit molds and semi-custom molds from Accurate. In an effort to squeeze every bit of accuracy...
No. Absolutely no advantage whatsoever. I have several, and like with any revolver, if you load/fit everything just right, and do any tuning if necessary the 45 Colt will perform just as good or...
Accurate molds are the best I've ever owned. I have several and wouldn't consider any other. When I want a new mold I just go straight to the Accurate website. Where else can you specify the...
One other thing to mention in case you have more than one Ruger 45 is that you might consider getting the Manson Reamer and pilots and doing it yourself. You can get 'em here:...
Ok, got it. I emailed the lady (Julie) at Ransom International late this afternoon and she answered that the BH inserts are the correct ones for the SS just like you guys are saying. That's extra...
I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if the Blackhawk inserts fit the Single Six/Single Seven. Anyone know?
Thanks for the info Gus. 231 is one of the powders I was planning to test but I didn't think to try Bullseye - I'll give her a go. All in all I'm planning to test about 10 medium powders in hopes of...
Roger that. I ordered the Master Series Combo this morning with the base plate. That base plate they make is pretty nifty. It's 30 lbs and has four leveling knobs at each corner plus a level in the...
Roger that. I got ahold of the lady there and she said they'll make inserts for a 97 but they'll cost $100 since they're special order. I know they're pricey but you only need to get them once in...
Personally I'd work up a load for it first to see how it's doing before opening the throats. Doug is correct in that Rugers rarely have the same sized throats but it's possible yours does, or at...
I've been saving my pennies to get a Ransom Rest and I'm finally ready to get one. I was getting ready to order one today because I'm developing loads for a FA 97 in 32 H&R, and as I was looking up...
X2 and amen to that. There's not many handguns I don't like in one way or another but I can safely say I'd rather have a good slingshot than a Chiappa Rhino.
I have a Single Six in 32 H&R and a FA 97 in 327 with 32 H&R and 32-20 extra cylinders. I haven't had a chance to fire the FA yet as I got it fairly recently. I got the FA mainly for the 32 H&R which...
Sounds like a lot of fun. I have a FA 454 too but I got it more for the 45 Colt cylinder I got with it. At first I was going to get the 97 in 45 Colt but then I learned the cylinder wasn't long...
Thanks for the input fella's. I'm going to go ahead and get it. 44 Man and MGD - I hear ya but I don't want it necessarily because it can shoot better than me, but because I believe it can provide...
Anyone here own and/or use a Ransom Rest? I've been mulling over getting one for many, many years and I think I'm finally going to break down and get one. I know there are some intricacies to setting...
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
Very tough question. I answered "other" because I'd have to go with 2400 if I had to choose just one. Unique is right up there as a close second though since it works well in everything. That's a...
