Oh Brewster!
One other question.
You sure it's not a model 61-S instead of "5"?

The "H" in the s/n suffix could stand for Hebard. This from a web source: The Colt 38 Special Kit, also known as the Gil Hebard Model, was produced between 1964 and 1970. It is basically an 38 AMU with a different slide marking, but just over 400 were produced in 38 wadcutter. They were pr...

.32 S&W Long

I too reload .32 S&W Long. With the light powder charges I wasn't comfortable with the 4 station progressive I was using so I sold it and bought a Lock and Load progressive. The powder measure seems to be the equal of my faithful RCBS Uniflow plus I am now able to use a custom made expander on a...

Stapler

I've been using one of these for the past two outdoor seasons: http://www.amazon.com/Arrow-Fastener-5650-Easy-Stapler/dp/B00004T179 For stapling targets, it's the best I've ever used. Prices vary widely though. I bought mine at a local hardware store. Also, unfortunately, some folks don't have very ...

I've owned a Unique 32U since the late 1990's but shot it very little until recently. Since the company is now gone and parts could be a problem I am reluctant to experiment with hotter loads for 50 yards. Where this gun really shines for me is the indoor 50ft leagues and matches over the Winter mon...

I had a pair of Rinks made for my AW93 and really like them.
Herr Rink can take up to 3 degrees of the grip angle out if you'd like.
He can also adjust the lateral grip angle for you based on a sketch of your
hand you can scan and email him.
After I got mine I sold the factory grips.

Interesting Chris.
I too cast my own bullets for .45 and .32 as well as the very few .38's I shoot.

What type of sizer do you use?
Star?
If yes do you size nose or base first?
Thanks!

Dan and Oldcaster are giving you good advice.

Greg is right. You can pretty easily lower the gun tray in the Pachmayr boxes by removing then repositioning the wooden rails/guides along the sides of the box. I recently lowered the rails in a 5 gun with partition. I was able to accurately cut the ply "wall" with a tool similar to this o...

Accidental discharge

A question came up at the club I shoot at (it's not a shotgun club).
If the shotgun discharges accidentally when the shooter closes the gun
but before gun mount or call for the target is it "lost"?
Is there a difference International Trap and American Trap?
Thanks!
