I’ve been working up some different loads to see what will work best out of a Taurus 617 with a 2” barrel and had some Interesting results with AA#9.
By using the below powder recipes the AA#9 load with 15 grains of powder locked up the pistol and left some interesting marks on the brass. The hammer wouldn’t go back and the cylinder wouldn’t rotate unless I unlocked it.
the brass on the left was fired with the 15 gr load and the one on the right with 14.5 grains.
I think I’ll forgo any AA#9 loads for this and roll back to H110 which performed good without any issues
One thought, the Taurus has the hammer lock Allen screw but I wouldn’t think the recoil would lock that up. Then again stranger things have happened.
