    145 grain STHP.

    Woods carry is a stiff charge of 4227 under the 158-grain SJHP.

    The silver tips would likely fill this role too. But they’re too expensive to practice with.

    BTW, “What’s In...

    Exactly.

    That bullet expanded to a whopping .75, which skewed the average. The other 4 had no significant expansion.

    I stand corrected.

    The results I referred to were 2”.

    Looking at the raw average is still deceiving.

    If that concerns you, there’s ammo using Barnes lead-free bullets.

    I observed a test of a Buffalo Bore round fired into clear gel + 4 layers of denim from a Smith 642.

    Performance was as good...

    Doh! BB = Buffalo Bore.

    My cast-bullet brain was wondering if people were rolling their own “Bevel Base” wadcutters🙄

    Factory? Brand?

    I go loaded with Federal GMM WCs with the Remington version of the FBI load in a speed strip.

    I’m probably going to switch to Winchester 130-grain PDX1 for the reload. Me...

    You mean like a Night Guard?

    Or a steel frame with 3” tapered barrel.

    The former is what I hoped the big SHOT show reveal would be.

    Plus, the vibe I pick up from everything I read/view about these Lipseys runs is their quality. Which makes sense, Lipseys doesn’t want to put their name on crap guns and demands better quality.

    Can the Texas Rangers repeat?

    I’ve waited 52 years to say that!

    I can’t really think of anything on my wish list. Ruger brings back the Security Six maybe?

    Are you sure it was a flattop and not just a 3-screw?

    The original flattop (pre-64) was never made in .41 magnum, and I’m pretty sure the recent ones haven’t, either.
