      22lr-22mag revolver question?

      44mag load for hunting?

      I have a smith 629 6" I will be hunting with this deer season. My gun shoots a cast 240gr swc with 10gr of unique under 1.5" at 50 yards. Would this be a sufficient load for hunting whitetail out to 50 yards. Or would I be better off to shoot a barnes 225gr XPB over 18gr of 2400 that groups 3"...

      40s&w powder?

      I just purchased a 40s&w so I will be starting to reload the caliber. So my question is what powder burns clean in this cartridge? I load 357&44 with unique and 2400, unique is dirtier than I want to shoot in the semi-auto. The pistol is a compact with a 3.4 inch barrel. THANKS, MATT

      I was on the Underwood website looking at their 10mm loads. At the top of the 10mm page in big red type it says their 10mm loads can't be used in the Colt Delta Elite models. Why is that it says the 10mm were good to go in the glock and EEA models, and not the Colts. What is the weakness of the...
