First off, let's do another sale on the GNR dies. All of our custom dies except the 300 GNR, 586 GNR and 610 GNR are sale priced today at $85 plus shipping. The GNR custom dies retail for $217 but we normally sell them at $100, but today they are at our cost, $85 plus shipping.

Also the family that has the 2 custom guns I posted yesterday wants to sell them so for this weekend the Professional Hunter in 41 GNR#2 with the 2X Burris scope on it that would normally sell for around $3000 is sale priced this weekend only at $1895 plus shipping.This is a gun I built for myself back in '05 or so. I used it on a Nilgai at the Celebrity Handgun Hunt in '05 and on a big hog at the Hot & Nasty hunt in Texas in '06. A good friend who was there talked me out of it and it has been in his safe ever since. The gun is our Professional Hunter in 41 GNR#2. It is built on our own stretch frame. And for those that like the low serial number guns, this one is serial number 001. Again sale priced this weekend only at $1895 plus shipping.

next is a custom Belgium Hi Power, not one of the Israeli guns. This one was a new unfired gun when the old gentleman brought it in. It is an original Belgium gun. We did a lot of special work on it, with the engraving and Black Chromex finish. It would normally be one of our $1495 guns but is sale priced this weekend only at $895 plus shipping. The old fellow carried it a bit and it has a couple of very small marks on the grips from him carrying it. Sale priced at $895 plus shipping.

hey I could buy that cheaper than I can send mine in to have reworked. Why do I need to be so picky?

Just go for it next time! I agree on the prices! My LGS

has a newer blue one on consignment for $1000. Gary's worked over ones always seem like a bargain compared to that when he puts them up for sale.

you got it Huey and as you guys have probably noticed

version and my 410 GNR. This 410 will whack about anything you put in front of it. just wondered ?

no, they are identical in power. I developed the 41 #2 long

before the 410 GNR. The 41 #2 is a great cartridge but requires a stretch frame and I wanted the same power in a standard length frame. That was the reason for the 410 GNR.

41GNR#2 is 360fps faster with 255gr hardcast in revolver

Actually they are the same. The 41#2 data was done

Gary Reeder

Saturday, January 20, 2018, 19:32 (3155 days ago) @ Woody

with a 10½" barrel with a .002 barrel/cylinder gap. The 410 data was done with a 6" revolver, the prototype revolver that had a .0045" barrel/cylinder gap. Later on we re-did the test with the same length barrels and same .002 gap and they were within 35 fps of each other. The 410 GNR revolver was my own and in rushing the gun out for the hunt where I took the African Savannah buffalo I didn't pay enough attention to the barrel/cylinder gap. It still took the buff with one shot but afterwards we ran the barrel back to a .002 gap and they were, for all practical purposes, identical. In the new loading manual we hope to have out by mid to late summer they will show as equal.

Always wondered if a .001 gap is possible for the .410 GNR

Or is the difference not even noticeable?

.001 is possible but the benefits don't outweigh the problem

with that small a gap you would have to take the cylinder out every few rounds and brush off the accumulated powder residue off the face of the cylinder and back of the barrel or it would bind up. .002 is a good solid gap. You still have to check it every now and then if you feel it rubbing but for the most part it is a perfect setting.

Thanks for explaining that Gary
