    Those lightweight alloy .44mag revolvers may be nice to carry but the nice ends when you have to shoot them any amount. I can only imagine shooting max loads with bullets over 300gr out them.

    I wager Hornady cares more about selling to reloaders than Vista and Olin do. The later wants to make components for their own ammo and sell in large quantities to ammo makers.

    Lee doesn't bother drilling or boring the holes in the turrets. They just run the tap through them as cast. You often get some flash on a thread or two that hits the root of the thread. Worse if the...

    It makes no sense that Ruger didn't come out with the 3" but came out with the snubby .327 LCR. The .327 is going to be better suited for that longer barrel, even if it is only 3".

    The only advantage to this cartridge is in most guns you can squeeze and extra round or two in the magazine vs 9x19. That is it. It doesn't attain 9x19 performance. With the pressure it is running it...

    I can get 115gr XTPs in .380. Little bulge in the brass at the bullet base but they chamber and fire. If the 120gr cast profile is right you should be able to get it to work in .380.
