I'm loading 32-20 bottleneck cases with GT 115gr HP and 12gr of 4227 giving me best accuracy. I'm getting about 1200fps and groups of 1" at 25yards. I'm waiting on some 135gr PC bullets that I think will work great ringing steel at 100 yards. RCBS cowboy dies and Lee FCD on the Dillon 550b...
The OP said it was for woods gun, so he is concerned with weight. He has a heavier 44 mag. He later said bear country.
I am a handloader with 44 mags, 357 max, and 45 colt. I'm almost 69.
I woods carry a 13 oz SW 360PD in 357 mag. Like someone above said, the scandium revolvers can be...
Kurt is great to plan with. Give him a call and I'll bet he can do whatever combo you like. He is very accomodating.
I bought the G2 frame and stock from Kurt. He also recommended the MGM barrel and I got that delivered to him. He did an action job and general fit and finish. A couple of...
I have the Contender, the Encore, and the G2 I got from Kurt Bellm, Mike's son. Kurt took a Match Grade Machine barrel and put it on one of his tuned G2s. I am very happy. Great family !
Step 1
Shoot the gun. Look for issues like any new to you gun. Take the barrel off, checking the...
That is one worthless rant about whoever this guy is. The first complaints are about copyright infringements. Really? This rant makes out like he kills babies for fun. After 10 minutes I gave up looking for something important. Lots of tiny things don't add up to something big.
and I...

The bellmtcs.com website was completely down, but
reconstruction of the 16 years of information we had on our site is at least starting now, and the bellmtcs.com email addresses are working again so you can readily reach either Kurt or...
Some nice suggestions on the S&W and Rugers for a little more money.
But I have one more, that I am shocked no one suggested, in your price range. A used Ruger Security Six can be had in excellent condition for under $400. IMHO it is a better gun than the GP100. Many Ruger fans who have both...
I won't buy a beater that wasn't a great gun. Too many out there. Be patient.
The S&W shield at $250 is the best value on new. I don't care for semi and I don't buy new.
I am convinced the best buy in the beater category is the Ruger Six series. Mainly because they are not beaters. $400...
SAA or double action; blued, nicholed, stainless steel; doesn't matter to me. I love em all.
Colt, S&W, Dan Wesson, United Sporting Arms, Ruger; doesn't matter to me. I love em all.
22, 38, 357, 357Max, 44, 45 colt.
Accuracy does matter.
I shoot silhouette steel with looooong barrels. Slow...
Yes, EER is usually a problem on pistol scopes. I shoot silly wet with extended arms off a rest. I searched for several months and finally decided on the Bushnell Elite 3200 2-6 magnification. I can get over 20" of eye relief on magnification 5 and then the halo effect starts closing in.
I'm...
