Howdy, I have come across some swaged lead 158g HP bullets and thought it would interesting to try some +P loads. These would be shot from a 2" snub S&W. I have Bullseye, Unique, and HP-38 on hand. Which powder would give the best performance at max load for a 2" barrel? Thanks, Marty

Howdy, Tried my first attempt of using magnum primers and powder in loading a 158g hard cast SWC sized to .358. From the 49th Lyman (it said Lee earlier...) Manual they had a 12.3 to 13.7 grains of powder listed for 160g cast bullet. My Lee Auto-Disk was dropping 12.4 grains so I tried this...

I have a British 38 S&W Victory model that was converted to 38 Special. I was disappointed with shooting 38 special out of it and was wondering if anyone had any experience with shooting 38 S&W out of a converted one? Shooting 38 special out of it was a bit like the time I accidentally shot...

I have a S&W Victory model in British 38-200 that has had the cylinder reemed to accept 38 special. I know shooting 38 special is inaccurate in these guns and should be kept lower powered loads. Are there any issues shooting 38 S&W out of these guns? Thanks.

I have some wadcutters from a local caster that I have reloaded that are not cutting pure holes in paper. I have shot them anywhere from 7 to 25 yards, and what I get is just a huge hole in the paper. Looks like a .75 cal ball has gone through the paper. I can't tell if the bullet is key...

Hello Everyone, I am interested in getting into reloading. I plan to start out loading .38 target loads, then maybe .380 and/or 9mm, and eventually some 30-30 for plinking... I am leaning toward getting a Lee Classic Single Stage. I noticed in the sticky that it was suggested that if you...

I am looking at a Model 14 on Tuesday. I am not sure yet, but it is probably a 14-3 or 14-4. It is either NIB or like new and has the manual and tools to boot. I think it has the stock trigger and hammer. What is a good ballpark for this? The seller is asking ~$500. Thanks!

Howdy, Found a Ruger Speed Six today for sale. It is a 160 prefix, stainless and 2 3/4 barrel. Action is good and smooth, and it locks up well. No scratches or dings. It looks to be needing a good cleaning. There looks to be very small rust pits on some of the lettering on the barrel...

Hi, Does anyone have any information on this? What I have found online seems extremely vague. I probably just need to go get my CHL so I don't have to worry about it... Thanks!

Hi Folks, Long time reader (6 months or so anyway) and first time poster. I will likely get more active here as I have gotten revolver'itis... I am looking to pick up a snub. A local shop here has a 2" M10 pin barrel for $320. Looks to be in very good shape, but it has been...
