On another post I mentioned that I bought a 25-2 45acp revolver. I shot about 100 rounds today. Very accurate. Wow. Clearly my favorite shooting revolver.
I had purchased moon clips, both polymer and steel. The polymer ones work great. Easy to load and unload, HOWEVER, my semi wad cutter bullets don't exactly jump on their own into the cylinder. I have experienced this with my 586 using speed loaders, so I wasn't alarmed.
My question is this, since the cartridge head spaces on the case mouth, is there ANY harm just loading them without clips? I shot 50 rounds using this method and used a wooden dowel to push them out. Obviously at the low pressure of lswc ammo, there isn't any fear of sticky extraction. I didn't have any misfires either. So for slow speed target shooting and just plinking, using lead bullets, could there be any risk by doing this.
Thank you in advance for your input.
