For my girlfriend to have a lowered recoil load that might still be effective, I loaded up 6(six) test rounds of 24grs of 777(FFG) under a 145gr Winchester Silver Tip Hollow Point in new Winchester brass. I used Winchester WSPM(small pistol primers for magnum loads) primers.
Any thoughts on this?
The cases are filled so as there is no space left in them. The bullets are seated well. They're pretty good lookin on top of all that.
I plan to only use these in a Ruger Blackhawk 357 Magnum revolver with the shorter 4 5/8 inch barrel.
For target loads I may try to find a 9mm cylinder and let her shoot some 9mm loaded with a round nose lead bullet and a case full of FFG.
The point here is to get her to shoot the gun without to much recoil. Some **** headed woman groping perv of a ranger manager freaked her out before she even picked the gun up while we were down there shooting a 40 caliber Glock I got her. I could go on about that jerk all day. If it wasnt for the fact that firearms are present and I don't think he could take a broken nose without pulling one, I'd have corrected the guy long ago, now we just dont go there. The 40cal was as stout a gun as I think she'll shoot, and she doesnt like to practive with it, which isnt any good. Whenever I go in and get some new supplies I'm going to get some Bullseye to load some mild 38/357 stuff up instead of the Black.
I'm not real sure that silvertip will open up and perform like it should with that BP load...
