Fellow nerd here, but my aging eyes have made me painfully aware of how crummy most if not all OS are at giving options for usable font sizes for OS menus etc short of lowering resolution of screen, which I don't like doing. Annoying that browsers will let me increase text size so its not difficult to read but leave screen at high resolution but menus in MacOS or Windows or Chrome etc don't.
I am hoping that by shooting mild wadcutters in my 60 will prevent damage that may not show up later in life.
Thread drift, excuse me. I had a work Mac Laptop that had become obsolete but still useful. They offered it to me for $75 and I said $25. No deal. So I turned it back in but switched the OS language to Norwegian and set the font size to so big that when you booted it up, all you saw was a Giant Letter D. Childish, I'm sure it was recycled.
I alternate in pocket carry between a 432 and G42. So far I can shoot 9mm in Glocks just fine. Even 100 45 ACPs once in awhile doesn't seem to impact my hands and arms yet. I do hand squeezy exercises and some light dumbbells.

I recommend trying the Hornady Critical Defense standard pressure loads. The 90 gr 38 load duplicates 380 ballistics, but the 110 gr standard pressure load has low recoil and may hit to point of aim for you. I highly recommend the 110 gr standard pressure Hornady Critical Defense round. If available, also check out alternative grips that may reduce felt recoil. The Pachmayr Diamond Pro is on the large side, but is excellent at recoil reduction. I don’t know if there is one for a J frame, but you need grips that fit your hand size and have effective recoil control.
Both of the 38 loads that I mentioned have similar, low levels of recoil and are more pleasant to shoot than even the 130 gr ball load or 148 gr wadcutters.
Some tested .32 S&W Long "+P" data for use in S&W Models 30 and 31, post-1950 Colt steel D-frame and Ruger LCR and SP101 revolvers
Hornady 100 XTP .312" R-P case, CCI500, 8.5 grains IMR4227, OAL 1.17" - 897 fps @ 20,200 psi
Hornady 85 XTP .312" R-P case, CCI500, 3 grains Alliant Bullseye, OAL 1.175" - 890 fps @ 16,800 psi
Thank you Sir.
OK, stupid question time.
I have a couple of pounds of H110 and 2400. Would either of these powders serve for the 100 gr XTP to approach that velocity in either .32 S&W Long or .32 H&R mag safely?
I've look at the ADI velocity equivalency chart and looked/searched on CB...but don't want to damage me nor my 327 LCR.
I have Bullseye and 85 gr XTPs so I have that covered.
TIA

Former Mac power user here (now obsolete, since I no longer do graphics and mix sound/video). At the height of my abilities, I used to take considerable glee from going into the local Apple store, and finding the screensaver and voice prompts on display models. I’d change a few display computers to say “Holy shit, you took too long. I’m going to hit the rack.” Upon switching to the screen saver. That *never* got old.
