If you hunt use the dot. But everything for the original sights should be there. Just find a sight.
Wonderful gun. You are a very lucky guy.

I trust you will not get bad stuff from anyone here and you might get better.

I am stupid and do not know how the junk does not rise to the top. Lead is heavy so it makes no sense. But I am happy you seen it. But it will return.

It is funny, my friends and relatives never thought twice about cast. We started that way so lead is what a boolit is.
Now they shoot jacketed from muzzle loaders??? Holy smokes, where has the...

You will see zinc, looks like a galvanized rain gutter. I have some pure contaminated with it. I do not know how, just lead cable sheathing. 600° and skim removes almost all.
I hate BHN readings to...

Isn't Glock rifling different then a 1911? I don't know, have neither but friends shoot cast from 1911's all the time.

I change lead now and then in my pot, I just wear thick gloves and hold the rails to pour into an ingot mold. No matter what I use or how much I flux, there is that black ash looking junk in the...

It brought my computer back, darn thing was running 100% disk and 94% ram. Firefox would lock.
Those things suck use.

I don't care what anyone says, I love the big boolits. The .44 performs with them. My first year allowed to use a revolver I had trouble with XTP's opening too fast on 3 deer. Stopped without...
Fear is real. Going to KICK. It is why I teach backwards, heavy first until they see it does not hurt, then smaller guns. Give a guy a .357 with .38 loads and then go full .357. What will he do?

I bought my tools from Brownell's years ago. I never use a border. My first practice was a flat hunk of walnut, tore it to shreds. Forget that! I made the cradle to fix to my seat and drew a pattern...

The only warped mold I ever had was a used one I got for $5. It was caused by making the handle screws too tight and when heated it spread the blocks. I use a floating pin. I played the devil fixing...
Forum: Cast Boolits
All I see is every shot would kill a deer. It is true I want my revolvers to shoot best because of crazy movements I can make. My friend shoots my 30-30 boolit from his 30-06 and he has not equaled...

I hate to wash a car, let alone a house! What a pain.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Pins are always a problem. Some move, can't be helped. Darn, I have set screws unwind to drop half a mold into my water bucket. Things move. Not the mold makers fault. You must learn by yourself. I...

Darn I am over 1630 fps in a revolver with a PB. Been over max in a .454 with a PB.
You fellas with slow are pikers.
I do not buy the silly things anymore. There is a place for them. Think RIFLE.
You are smart. But the .44 is a real pleasant gun. It comes down to your hands only. You might love the Bisley or hate it. It all depends on what you can make the gun do. Never go by feel, just...
The K is a classic. It does what it does without abuse. I have never seen a frame stretch, never seen a weak S&W. Wear without lube---Yes. front bushing dry and stretch must be the answer.
I have...
My first love is the .44 mag. I can make it work for anything but the PD can be pain at both ends.
Now I have shot all kinds of guns and even some .357's were harsh, even worse then a .44. The .41...
For me anyway, I never let a gun "roll." But I can't get the same hold with a Bisley or S&W 29. I hate the SBH square trigger guard so I put Pachmeyer grips on all. My .45 Vaquero was so nasty I put...
Just because I guess. As calibers go up, guns get heavier and most will not shoot slow, when you start to stuff 300+, 400+ and near 500 gr boolits in them they must stabilize. The use of a big gun is...
I don't, I shoot the .44 as is. the .357 as is and any caliber as is. The .44 mag is not a .44 special. The .475 is not a .480 either. You buy a big magnum and want a .38. Just why did you buy a big...
