Failure to fire & extended firing pin for Taurus .45 ACP

[IsleShoot]

With your ammo, try HP38, Win 231 or Bullseye. Target loads of around 5.0gns for 231 and HP38 and 4.5gns for Bullseye with a 230gn lead bullet will give you around 825fps, which as you remember from your IPSC days, will give you a major PF of 189.

CCI primers will be perfectly fine once you've fettled the mainspring tension and sorted headspacing and the rest. But get some new brass and prep them all the same first, it won't do any harm at all to do that!

And, in case you don't have one, I've found an instruction manual on t'interweb for Taurus revolvers....

Good luck!

Thanks Sim, I'll give those a try.

I've got some brand new brass so I'll get prepping! I'm away with work until next week but then off for the whole of Xmas so I can dedicate plenty of time to this

I'll let you know how I get on.
