I'm really liking these Brass Monkey 127CN. Super clean and consistent.

Just ordered 2 sample packs of the MBC .44 Elmer K - Hi-Tek for the Vaquero.
Bad ideas, brilliant execution
My Lord, whatever I done, don't strike me blind for another couple of minutes!
Well I finally made it to the outdoor range and was able to gimp around and get a bit of chrono data done.
I carry Lost River WC in my LCR, so to rotate them out I chronoed them again. (I loose track of the various ammo threads and know I've posted LR 32 HR results before...somewhere...).
Lost River .32 H&R mag 100 gr WC Ruger LCR 327
771-804-797-788-786-792 = avg fps 789 in my LCR
“Slippery Bullets” 32 H&R mag RNFP Hi Tek coating
W231 3.1 gr SA Small Pistol Primers Ruger LCR 327
761-766-761-758-761-758 Avg FPS = 760
Same as above BUT using Tula Small Rifle primers:
731-677-738-728-724-740 Avg FPS= 723 (?)
Missouri Bullet Company 98 gr DEWC HiTek (Black) .32 H&R mag
W 231 2.8 gr SA Small Pistol Primers Ruger LCR 327
818-805-818-813-807-801 Avg FPS= 810
(Handload, can't remember the bullet...maybe Meister?) 32 S&W Long 100 gr Lead DEWC
W231 2.4 gr SA Small Pistol Primers Ruger LCR 327
783-776-780-772-758-766 Avg FPS= 772
I am optimistic that S&W will work out the ignition issues...It really doesn't seen that prevalent...
I'm hoping to pick up a 632UC or 432UC when I run across one. But damn...my LCR lights off everything I put in it. Known reliability is nice.
I have used the following Primers in my LCR 327:
Federal- Winchester- CCI- Servicios Aventuras (SA)- and now Tula Small Rifle.
I’ve had 100% ignition with all of these primers. But I do take caution to seat them firmly, smoothly, and deeply.
I have been using Bayou Bullets with Hi Tek Coating in the 45acp flavor for years. I have been very happy with them. Check them out you will not be dissatisfied.

Very happy with blue bullets. I have twin HK p2000’s and one of them is not as accurate as I’d like. Running the .356 bullets has helped. 147s and titegroup.
