I'm Making a Run at This One

First rounds at ten yards:



Shooting .38s feels like shooting a K-22. .357s felt like .38s out of a K-frame.

The first time I fired a 148 grain wadcutter out of an N-Frame Smith, I thought it was squib until I saw the hole in the paper.

One of the factory cases (Remington range ammo) split during the rangr trip:



I can’t remember the last time I had a non-reloaded case rupture. It was part if the load I bought when Wally-Woild got out of the ammunition business.

I once bought a batch of once fired Remington nickle brass. The necks split a lot when belling to reload and I had splits down the side like yours. Maybe a bad batch of brass?

Remington brass is softer and I've found it prone to splitting also. Prefer Federal brass or Starline when I can find it. Remington doesn't have the longevity of Federal or Starline.

The Blue Forum gurus say that the gun is circa 1973.

Stephanie,

No wonder I got a nostalgic twinge with every picture you post of you M28-2. When I started the academy in August of '73 the Sheriff's Department required us to purchase our own handguns (revolver in those days). After trying to get them to approve a 5" M27-2 (I was a Skeeter Skelton fan) then a 3.5" M27-2 (who wouldn't try) I ended up buying a brand new, in the box 4 inch M28-2...shipped in 1973...to meet their 4" DA 38 Spl/357 Mag requirement.

Because that 1/2” makes all the difference[emoji849]
