I just loaded up a box of Matt's 215 gr button-nosed wadcutters; ran the range from 6.0 to 7.5 grains of Unique. Hope to be able to find the time to shoot them over a chronograph this weekend.

Still working on loads for mine. But I haven't measured the throats; will have to do that next time I have it near the reloading bench. Hope they aren't too different from my GP100!I've had problems with my Bulldog when shooting past 15 yds. or so in that my .430" sized cast bullets would become unstable. Mine has very short lands which I thought was the problem. Casting harder, shoeternal bullets helped, but the problem persisred with heavy semi-wadcutters. Finally I came to my senses and the checked the obvious; the cylinder throats. Mine measure .432". So ooo I cast up a batch od 429215's and sized them .432". Problem solved.
Surely mine is not the only one out there with this problem. Anyone else experienced this?

For the life of me, I could not get a good sight picture. I didn't think to start looking over the top of my progressive lenses until after I had put the Bulldog away
Yep, I've seen quite a few situations that don't follow the so called rules.But, a different charge weight with the same bullet may not have the same degree of velocity differences comparing between the same (2) revolvers.
