Uh, Mike??? Just where in hell can you find linotype in the year 2010, or were you joking about that?? Or are you talking about the metal they use these days to cast the cylindrical print segmets that go on the rotary newspaper print heads?? Oh, the powder du jour for the 500 is Lil' Gun and large ...
Never shot anything but plated and cast with my 500, and I think you probably know that. (Linotype?? Geez, you'd have to be an old phart like me to even know what linotype was.) The Smith 500 is simply not a cast bullet gun. You can push plated bullets (and the Ranier's hold together better that th...
Uhhhh... Gee, I don't feel like giving birth to a cow today. Sorry guys!!

Is there a manual out there with load data for 230gr LRN on top of Bullseye for .45acp? I can't seem to find one........ Maybe its time to get another pistol powder...... Gosh I hope not, I'm pretty keen on bullseye. Lyman 48th Edition Reloading Handbook Bullseye powder 4.0gr. = 680 FPS 5.0gr. = 81...
Important thing to remember when disassembling a S&W revolver is the screws location in the sideplate. A typical 3 screw sideplate has the most upper rear screw which is a flat surfaced head, the lower screw behind the trigger appears to be the same screw that is in the front of the trigger but ...
