Definitely interested in load data for that, 300 ish at 850 is nice!Well truth be told I was doing testing and then life got in the way. But, now that winter is over so I’m wanting to get started again.
The 304 NOE actually weighs in at 317 grains which is heavy. I’m sizing .452 using BLL and seating to 1.383. I’ve been working with Bullseye and so far I’m up to 720 fps and have one more level with bullseye. I figured bullseye was going to be too fast and next up is Power Pistol and 2400.
Also I have a new mold that comes in at about 290 grains which is a weight used in the early Webley’s running about 650 fps.
I was hoping for about 850 fps with the 304.
I know that with the 290 I believe 900 fps should be doable with 2400.
Probably the idea will be the 255 Lee at about 1000 fps.
What are we looking at? It has the tapered barrel of the Model 1950 but they were not offered that short.will admit to not shooting it much
25-14 one of the Classic series revolvers. Yes, it has a lock on the other side. The only blued 3 in 45 acp i am aware of. edited to change Heritage to Classic seriesWhat are we looking at? It has the tapered barrel of the Model 1950 but they were not offered that short.

"AirLite" and that atom symbol means it is a scandium/aluminum alloy revolver, right? With the cylinder made largely out of that alloy, as well as the frame? I think I handled one of those once, and it seemed to weigh about as much as a plastic toy.My favorite is the 325PD with 2-3/4" barrel. Weighs 21-1/2 ozs. empty. It is 26 ozs. loaded with six rounds of Speer 250-grain Deep Curl in Starline brass with 4 grains of Bullseye.

Scadium frame. Titanium cylinder. With standard pressure Auto Rim or FMJ 230-grain recoil is entirely manageable. Less "nasty" than my S&W 940 J-frame firing 147-grain 9mm."AirLite" and that atom symbol means it is a scandium/aluminum alloy revolver, right?

In 45 ACP, I think it would be very interesting to see somebody fire one of those. Somebody who is not me, I mean.
(I don't mean to be rude. It's just hard for me to imagine the recoil on that. Then again, my favorite cartridge is 32 S&W Long.)
It comes with a hammer spur, but didn't want the hammer spur digging into my flesh in concealment so had the hammer bobbed.Very nice although I'd like a hammer
Oh darn it! All I could think of was magna. Dementia.Those are checkered Target stocks, not Magnas.
These are Magnas, shown on a 45 ACP, Model 1950, Target revolver.

Outpost, that's perplexing, My experience has been completely opposite. I load 147gr 9mms for my 940, since the ballistics, and recoil, are virtually identical to the old .38 RNL. I've a non-magnum 640, and shooting the 9 and the .38, back to back, they feel about the same. My standard, 1100'sec/115 loads are much sharper in the 940.Scadium frame. Titanium cylinder.
