A collection of posts often on colt E- and I-frame revolvers: pythons, model 357s, officer model specials, etc. Topics not limited to: action jobs, fixing Bubba-gone-wrong gunsmith mistakes, and revolver porn. And sometimes I'll wander off the reservation and type random nouns and verbs that have nothing to do with our sole purpose, because who the hell can really pay attention that long?

Powder valley shipped 18K primers today

Order placed on March 25th. Prices were $112 for CCI SP primers, $120 for CCI LPM, $127 for federal SP, and I don't recall for LR and SRM.

They currently have AA #5 and AA #7 in stock: 8lb jugs for $112.

Perhaps the shortage is working its way to a close?

9x25 load data

9x25: a 10mm case necked down to take a 9mm bullet. Pretty cheap in terms of projectiles. Pretty enthusiastic in terms of noise: if you ever have undesirables shooting next to you at the range, this is good for crowd control. It puts the tactile back in "concussive."

If you have a glock 20 you can get a drop in barrel from lone wolf. The amount of flame that comes out of the ports will be sufficient for most purposes.

Here's some old load data. Note, it is fairly conservative (as in at least 2gr conservative in my experience). As always: if you go beyond max data you will blow up your gun and get laughed at.

More load data at glocktalk.
