Thank you so much for the information in your previous post. Right now I've got about 28 empty 357 brass and 250 38 special. The two revolvers I've got are s&w 642 which I carry daily and a 5in s&w highway Patrolman. So I'd like to be able to load a LOT of light 38 to run through my 642 to...

Thank you! I finally found it. Okay guys, I figured my problem out. I did things all bass ackwards. I apologize for taking up your time. Here is what I just did and should have done in the first place BEFORE stopping at Cabela's to buy powder (although to be fair it was mostly the...

That was one of the reasons I was asking around, because the load data I can find doesn't seem to use this same terminology so I wanted to see what might be another name for what Speer is calling their TMJFP. How interchangeable it is with any other common type of bullet.

The speer bullets I have (125 and 158) appear to be jacketed not plated. Speer just uses their own terminology of "Total Metal Jacket". They appear to have a flat nose on them. The jacket covers the entire bullet.

Just because I can't find it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Thats why I'm asking around. None of the reloading manuals seem to be exhaustive.

I've found and read many threads in searching this great forum about exactly this kind of question. I wish I had done slightly more research before I ordered bullets with my initial setup to make sure there were loads out there for them. But here I am. Struggling to find exactly the load...

I stopped at the drug store at lunch and got some gloss white and some bright orange. I'm going to try it out on my airweight first and see how i like the results.

Even better. I'll probably look around and see what anyone else has done before i try the nail polish.

Wow! Unfired? Thats really nice! Hey, what did you do on the front ramp there? I did you add the color? I have a heck of a time picking up the blued front ramp and was thinking of doing the orange on top of white nail polish trick to get it to stick out.

Its right above the trigger on the left side of the gun (barrel facing left). You can only really see the numbers and the S in the photo but its pretty clear in person.

I don't have small hands by any means but the grips feel big to me. Although, I am used to shooting an airweight or glock 26. So my experience is skewed small. I'm going to take it to the range a few times before I would consider any changes.

I always carry around a little S&W Airweight and it serves its purpose for concealed carry. I was talking to my father in law about maybe selling my glock that i rarely shoot to get a new .357 like the Ruger GP-100. He asked if maybe I wanted save my money and hang on to his old Highway...

This Seecamp LSW 32 in my waistband right now is my closest gun. I first saw my father in law with the .380 version and thats what first spurred me to even get a CHL was the thought that there was actually a gun small enough for me to want to carry all day every day all the time. I...

Seecamp LWS 32.

I've heard some people talk about potentially using it for help with weapon retention. Its hard for a BG to keep a grip on your gun with a knife in his arm. This is why those guys carry the knife on the weak side too.
