New guy...
Just discovered this thread yesterday and hope y’all keep it going. I’m a .44 Spl fan, a relatively new reloader, and very interested in learning more. Reviewing old posts now.
Bought my first chrono last year but haven’t even used it yet. I’m southern born and bred and no way I’m going to go shooting when it’s freezing. (I don’t think I’d last long in AK Float Pilot.
)
In response to FP’s request for specs on the S&W 396 Night Guard:
Outside diameter of cylinder
1.560 in.
Cylinder length
1.62 in.
Min. thickness between chambers
Front, .170 in. - back, .130 in.

(my measurements and subject to review)
Powders in inventory:

Looking forward to reading more and will contribute what I can when I can.
