What I found interesting is how many powders are usable in 44 magnum. I can use basically any pistol powder I have. I think 2400 is intended for magnum pistols but I can use CFE Pistol and my new favorite Winchester 231 as well. You won’t get top 44 mag performance but for target loads it would work great.
I’d like to try some VV powders but there aren’t any around unless I shoot 50 BMG.

That’s next on my list. Meaning a revolver of some sort. I nearly jumped on a 44 Mag Super Blackhawk but the deal was a little too good. I’m looking for a long range handgun, 50 yards+. That SBH would have done quite well. With hand loading it I can make it as comfortable or effective as I want. I passed as the price was actually suspicious.
I tested several cast loads for the 30-30 an

Sometimes it works like you’d planned. Dropping the charge weight seems to have done the trick. The loads are even more pleasant than the last ones, mostly because they went where I wanted.

For another comparison I loaded up 3 shots with Hornady 150 g

I tried some of their 125 grain green coated 9mm bullets and they work splendidly. They are very accurate, cycle, and leave no residue in my 9mm barrels. Since they are cast, they take advantage of some load data that runs at low

While I no longer patronize Field and Stream, I agree with their first 3 choices. I like the look of the Benchmade but can’t warm up to the CRKT.

I’m waiting for this with baited breath. It will be a nice compliment to my reground saber grind Delica and Wharnecliffe Endura.

Hey everyone. It’s great we still have a place to go to talk about such things, even though I’ve moved on to more dangerous things. Are Cliffs reviews still available on the old site? The two best/most influential for me were the ones on Alvins Paring knife and Cliffs mild steel tension bar knife.
