    What can kind of performance can be experience from a 20" 50-209

    Necrothread time... RW, have you had an opportunity to work up any loads with that barrel? I have an Encore as well and have been looking at the 20" 50cal barrels for it. I have a standard 26" barrel (haven't chrono'ed any loads yet), but wanted to know how the 20" ones perform before...

    Possible? (38SPL 357 Mag)

    180gr Hornady XTPs for the 357 have dual cannelures. Chris

    +p ammo and S&W 36

    The problem is, around here at least, there isn't much in the way of non +P SD loads. The standard pressure stuff is all wadcutter or jacketed hardball. All of the HPs I've seen except for Federal's anemic 110gr Hydroshok are +P. Chris

    +p ammo and S&W 36

    I do that all the time. Works fine in my flatlatch 36 and 37-2. It will accelerate wear, but you'll spend more on +P ammo to get to that point that you paid for the gun. Chris

    Why is .38 special so long?

    Don't forget the 357max. Chris

    Comanche Revolvers.....

    I have to agree with Jim. There are too many good, used guns from S&W or Ruger for less than $400 (often less than $300) and too many NEW Tauruses for less than $400 to bother with bottom tier junk. The Comanche might be ok in the short term, but how many will you have to buy to get the...

    Angry Sigh: Moving to NoVa...

    Nothing regular. Just an email that originates from one of us to the effect of "let's go shooting". Once the weather cools off a bit we'll probably do the shotgun thing at BR or IWL. There are other "events", but clay games are the most common. Send me a PM with your email addy and...

    Angry Sigh: Moving to NoVa...

    tinyknat, some of us get together fairly often at Bull Run. I haven't been very active around here lately, so many of these names are new to me. Chris

    What .44 Special/Mag Ammo?

    Magtech is good for cheap plinking ammo. Georgia Arms loads a decent round that's $19 and mild enough for plinking (chrono'd at 1100fps from my 5.5" Redhawk). Otherwise, all I shoot in 44mag are my own handloads. 300g@1300fps. W00T! Chris

    I either carry mine in a pocket or in an OWB holster. Chris

    Its about to get more expensive to enjoy our hobby

    I stopped having a use for Natchez when they charged me for a box of bullets, but shipped one single bullet. When I called to let them know of the error, they claimed I ordered a single bullet. :cuss: Chris

    Which 38 Special non +P Carry Ammo To Use?

    Duh. You're correct. I completely zoned on the non +P requirement. Sorry. Chris

    I think Google has a service, but with most folks using Paypal, it's not much of a competitor. Chris

    Which 38 Special non +P Carry Ammo To Use?

    Speer worked with the NYCPD to develop this load for snubnose revolvers. I don't have links to the tests handy, but I've seen the gel tests for the load I recommended above. The load was designed to penetrate per the FBI requirements when fired out of the typical 2" snubnose barrel. It does...

    Midway USA has goofy rule for dealer's account

    I would definitely get clarification because the C&R folks don't even have to have a business name to get the dealer discount (I know 'cause I are one). It depends on the item. Most of the stuff I buy isn't discounted much, but I've seen some hefty discounts on their site. Even still, the...

    What reloading setup for .38 spl, .357 mag, .30-30 & .45-70?

    Lee Classic Turret, mounted to a sturdy board that can be clamped to a desk, table, small child, etc. I use that same press (attached to my bench) for 38, 357, 44mag, and 6.5x55. I'll be adding 30-30 to that list very soon. I've loaded 32acp on it in the past. When I lived in an...

    Which 38 Special non +P Carry Ammo To Use?

    I like the Speer 135gr "Short Barrel" load. It was designed to deliver good performance out of snubnose barrels. That's what I carry in my S&W 37. Chris
