WTB - 10 inch 6.5 or 7 TCU TC barrel

I have the itch to get back to using a TCU for standing. If you have a 10 in. barrel available, let me know. :D

Re: 45 Colt

Only in FP. 200 gr. SWCs and 7.0 gr of WW231 shot great in a 7 1/2 Blackhawk. But definitely not for BB.

Re: 357 loads for Field Pistol

I started using Titegroup because I couldn't fine AA 7 that I had been using. I had an eight pound keg of Titegroup from when I started shooting at lot of .38 Special and .45 ACP. Lo and behold - I did what an earlier poster did and started using some 125 gr. Hornadys, then switched to 158 gr XTPs. ...

Accurate Arms LT 32 in 7 and 6.5 TCU

Wondering if anyone has tried LT 32 in 6.5 or 7 TCU.
It is supposed to be equivalent to the original surplus 322.
Any news? If not, I'll stick with H335 or AA 2230.

Re: 6.5 TCU giving me fits! - FIXED!

The issue was indeed trying to use brass formed for an old barrel! I picked up 200 Starline .223 cases, and formed up 100 of them. Shot last match on Sunday with no problems, and worked like a charm. Glad it wasn't the shellholder/die issue that I thought it might be. Thanks for the advice, gents! :D

Re: Will full metal jacket rifle bullets stay together?

Yes! I shot some 123 gr. 6.5 mm FMJs last match, and they did great. Accurate as well.
