    Target shooting

    I agree with what someone said about the CZ452/453 being really hard to beat for the money. Also I have had some really good shooting Heavy Barreled 10/22s but they will never have a trigger like a bolt gun. Anschutz also are usually pretty good, but depending on rules if you get into any...

    38 Special Loads for Wife

    I caught it :D. But those loads I have covered ;) I do appreciate all the posts. There is some good information here. I've never had to deal with too many reduced recoil loads. I grew up shooting big handguns and am not very sensitive to recoil. First pistol my Dad bought me as a kind of...

    38 Special Loads for Wife

    This is what I did with her gun. Stainless revolver with pink Hogue grips. Actually I really like the grip....except for the color. With 3 women in my house there is enough pink already, now it is bleeding into my gun room :banghead:

    38 Special Loads for Wife

    I understand the physics involved in the recoil situation. I do have 22s that she can shoot and honestly she was not flinching with the light 110 grain loads I worked up. What physics can't explain is why my stubborn a$$ wife doesn't WANT to shoot my gun she wants to shoot her PINK gun. It is...

    Nuts. I keep striking out, no Bullseye in stock. How about Red Dot? Any noticeable increase in recoil going this route?

    Wow, you guys are great. RC answered my question as I was typing it. I will order some of the MO Bullet CO DEWC and a pound of Bullseye if that is the recommendation. The power pistol I have for 38 super loads so just had plenty to work with. Thanks you guys have been great. Amazingly fast...

    38 Special Loads for Wife

    Ok, I checked Grafs and no HBWC in stock. However they do have... MO BULLET CAST 38c (.357) 148gr DEWCBB PPC #1 500/B ... for less than $30. Can I use the same loads as with the HBWC? Sorry, for all the questions, I've been reloading for quite some time, but in all my time have never loaded...

    38 Special Loads for Wife

    Thanks for the input. Now that I think about it 4 grains of PP is probably what I was shooting in my .380. I did not load under the minimum, I was just going from memory which has obviously degraded in the 5 days since I've loaded these. It sounds like the wadcutters are a good choice for a...

    38 Special Loads for Wife

    So the good news is that my wife now shows an interest in shooting. All I had to do was get her 'her own' gun and slap some pink hogue grips on it. I wanted something in the house that she could handle "just in case" and I have too many automatics or big (.480 ruger) revolvers. So I bought a...
