Thank you for responding to my reply. It is appreciated. First off, the ANSI-SAMMI organizations ONLY recognize two (2) pressure testing techniques to test ballistic pressures of...
Larry,
Sorry for being late to this party. However, thanks for responding to my questions on the testing of the 7.5gr. Unique/Lyman 429421 load. First off, I'm sure you were very careful and...
I concur that the 7.5 gr.Unique/Lyman 429421 cast bullet load is a safe load meeting SAMMI allowed pressure standards. Likewise, I agree with OnHoPr that it's time to get back talking about Charter...
dogdoc,
What "bothers" me is the promoting of a story that states the 7.5gr Unique/Lyman 429421 cast bullet 44 S&W Special load is above the SAAMI allowed pressure of either 14,000 psi or 15,500...
35 Remington,
Before you sign off, please extend to me the courtesy of responding to your statements:
1. As I mentioned before, you have presented an unverified statement as "test...
36 Remington,
In my view, a statement saying a certain load gave a certain pressure means absolutely nothing. If I gave you a statement on some load making some pressure-would you believe that? ...

FWIW:
Pearce never said that the "skeeter" 7.5gr load was a 22,000psi load. If you'd bother to look at the pearce article everyone keep quoting you will clearly see pearce has...
The H.P. White Laboratory, Inc. performed the pressure testing, on the Skeeter 44 S&W Special load, for the NRA. The H.P. White Laboratory Inc. has been in ballistic testing for seventy-five (75)...
35 Remington,
Your response is duly noted. But I cited both the Lyman loads and the NRA loads. My question still remains. What specific lab measured the Skeeter Skeleton load for pressure? ...
Since I like the 44 S&W Special, this has turned out to be a very interesting topic for me. I will confine my additional comments to only the Skeeter Skelton load of 7.5 grains of Unique behind a...
35 Remington,
We are not talking logic here. What we're talking about here is laboratory testing of the loads cited by Brian Pearce. In other words, factual pressure testing of loads rather than...

As far as I know, ALL of the ballistic pressure testing for the NRA was done by the H.P. White Laboratory in Bel Air, MD. Granted there may be some improvements in pressure testing over...
Since we're talking 44 Special loads and maximum pressures. I have a comment concerning Brian Pearce's comments, in his 44 S&W Special article, on the Skeeter Skeleton load of 7.5 grains of Unique...
A follow-up to my post here on the thread. " Forrest r" just posted a chart entitled "Effects on Pressure" in the thread "Charter Arms 44 Special Bulldog.........." in the category " Wheelguns,...

bmortell,
In my view, your CB sized diameter should be 0.0015"-0.0020" greater than you rifle's bore diameter; or 0.3015D"-0.3020"D. Likewise, you final PPCB diameter should be about 0.308"D....
Some words of caution on re-expanding case necks and/or straight cases. If the case neck grip, on a bottleneck rifle bullet, is not strong enough, the bullet can be pushed deeper in the case, during...
Mt. Gianni,
Your pressure experience, with the Charter Arms Bulldog, coincides with mine. My Charter Arms Bulldog is kind of like the Energizer Bunney. It just keeps going on & on. ...

Here is something to try. I assume the screws, holding the Picatinny rail...
Here we go again. Some facts on the Charter Arms Bulldogs:
1. Designed by the late Doug McClennahan; formerly a gun designer at Colt, High Standard, and Sturm Ruger.
2. US Government tested,...

Tripplebeards,
I had a similar problem with a 375H&H Mag. My original steel scope mount was only a 3-screw and not in complete contact with the receiver. I replaced that mount with a 4-screw...
I assume your first sizing die just resizes and deprimes the case. Does the second die re-expand the case and then bell the case mouth? If the second die is re-expanding the case, I'd suggest...
Whatever spare parts you plan to buy; avoid MIM (i.e. metal powder compacted & heat fused) parts like the plague. More 1911 malfunctions are caused by MIM parts breaking or by incorrectly made...
In my experience, with 44 Magnums, a Bisley grip is not going to improve your ability to shoot better. Likewise, the standard Black Hawk grip will not improve your ability to shoot better. What...
I like and favor the RIA 1911s and have a few. They're made by Armscor, an international ISO 9001 quality certified company, and are warrantied for life. Not many gun manufacturers are ISO 9001...
EDG,
What are the sprue plate feed hole diameters?
