No safe queens for me. I can't help myself, I have to shoot them. But I know what you mean, I would have to think about it for about 2 minutes.

That would be about right. Beautiful! How does it shoot?

My vote would be an Ed Brown all blue with naked slide.

I've found leading is never a problem with 38 special, as long as you are reloading target loads. When you start pushing those loads, or load +P THEN leading becomes a problem.

Learn something new every day! Never new 24 gauge existed

I have it in 38 +P and I'm telling you, thats painful enough

What happened? Double charge? Squib?

Les Baer. I've been shooting my Les Baer Wadcutter for about 2 years, never had a misfeed, failure to eject, not even a stovepipe. I only clean it after about 500 rounds at best. Ive shot many, many thousands. Like Timex used to say "it just keeps ticking". Oh yeah, the most accurate 1911 I own!

Just kidding, couldn't help myself

Try Leobrass.com, $50.00 per 1000 plus shipping for 45 cal. once fired brass. Good prices for all other brass too. I've never had a problem with them.

I've never used Universal Clays, but one of my favorite loads for 45 is 3.8 gr. "regular Clays" with 200 gr. lswc.

I recieved 5 thousand Win. large pistol primers last week from Powder Valley. They said they are taking delivery of 20 million Wolf large and small primers July 15. WOW, 20 MILLION ! That should help

Great chart! I keep one just like it taped to the inside of my pistol box. It really helps when I'm at the range.

I love it !!

Sounds like I'm in the minority here, but I clean my pistols after about the 3rd trip to the range. That would be around 500 rounds per gun. I always wipe them down after every trip though. Rifles after every trip to keep the bore clean.

Sounds good, and thanks for the offer

Usually between 200 to 300 rounds per trip. And yes, I reload too.

They really have a great nose. much better than my lab.She rarely will miss a bird, and I like the style of an english pointer. Not just the style of the point but the style of her running,"hunting" But I have to say, I like the style of the shorthair too.

I'm an avid upland hunter also. There doesn't seem to be as many of us as there used to be. Seems most prefer deer hunting. Nothing against deer hunting, I just really love upland hunting. I have two bird dogs. My older one is a chocolate lab,9 years old. His name is Lucas, "named after Lucas McCaine from the TV show The Rifleman My other is an english pointer, Whte and orange,4 years old. Her name is Maggie. No reason for that name

I discoverd this forum while on 1911Forum.com, I also was visiting Brian Enos's Forums and Bullseye-L Archive forum. I too spend most of my time here now. It probably is because of all the things we NJ shooters have in common,"places to shoot, NJ laws, maybe even sharing hunting and fishing spots" I think WE NJ shooters have to stand together as much, and probably more than any other state. This forum, focusing on NJ shooters can help us to do that.

I try to get to the range once a week also. Some days all the practice seems to show it's paying off, some days, not so much

Same here. The 686 just feels good. Solid and precision made

Funny you should ask that.To answer your question, no I haven"t tried Trail Boss. I"ve been reloading for quite a few years and have gotten kind of stuck in a Bullseye powder funk. I have been thinking of trying some different powders. It might be fun to work up some new loads with new powders. Have been thinking Clays, but now will look into Trail Boss too. What do you really like about it?

One of my "oldy but goody" revolvers is a S&W Mod. 14-3 38 SPL. It was built as a target gun and can shoot the lights out ! I wish I was as good It feels really good in my hand and is much lighter than the larger revolvers. I think the Mod 14-3 was produced in the 70"s, does anyone know?
