The J-frame’s a little wimpy for a True American, though I do have one.

Extra points for one or more N-frames.

I consider the 9mm downright un-American. Being a rebel by nature, I refuse to...

This isn’t helping!

I’m contemplating a VG+ 65-2 at the local indoor range.

They get revo trade-ins and tend to price them low, as there aren’t many old farts like me who are interested.

What’s your alloy and what’s your chamber throat dimensions?

I tried that with COWW alloy in an S&W that probably has .357 throats and stuck one.

They only get fired in my Colt OM and it’s .359...

I have an 8-cavity MP mold that rains SAECO 348 clones. Just wish it would drop them a bit smaller (.360).

Sized to .358, it groups 12 rounds in roughly 1 3/4” at 25 yards from my Security Six. ...

I recently acquired a Series 80 Commander 1*.

GP-100 Match Champion 10mm, stoked with Tom Gibson-designed wadcutters.

I have two 66-7s with .003 gaps. A 2.5 and a 4”.

Both run fine.

At a recent range session, the 2.5” digested roughly 150 rounds of cast wadcutters lubed with liquid alox. Smokey stuff. The...

I have the same problem: stubby fingers. I’m 5’ 10” with proportionate hands, but whoever upstairs was attaching fingers confused me with a Pygmy.

Prolonged shooting of my 10mm MC with the...

What barrel length are you shooting from?

Hodgdon data is developed from a 7.7” barrel, which I’d bet is not vented.

Lots of good responses here, but I think it was JHN(?) who hit the nail on the head: the market for revolvers just isn’t big enough to get much attention.

That’s pretty much across the board with...

In bear/moose country, I’d be packing something bigger. Probably a long gun.
In the brushy flatlands I roam, hogs & two legged critters are about the only threats. Of course there’s charging...

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 you’re going by published tests, be sure to look at the details and not just the averages.

On Lucky Gunner, the Remington 158 LSWCHP +P shows a respectable average expansion of .54 from a 4”...

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...

+P in longs?

Doh! BB = Buffalo Bore.

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

Looks like enough votes to call it for the humble Target Wadcutter.

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...

What’s in your cylinder?

What standard primers do you run in your wheelies? Non-magnum.

Shortly before the Covid panic hit, an LGS had a close out on Remington 5 1/2 small pistol primers.

I left with tens of...

Wait, what 5” half lug? Blued by chance???

I tried loading my cast .360 wadcutters as-cast, figuring that’s the same diameter as the factory HBWCs.

I learned that the uber-soft factory HBWCs are much more amenable to being squeezed...
