    /\ This.

    For magnum handguns it's out. In the .22 Hornet & .218 Bee rifle it's a perfect match IMHO.

    Lyman 410459

    Loading these in my Ruger .41 magnum, just how fast can I push them before I'll develop problems? Lead is the Lyman alloy.

    Have newer hammer forged barrel on mine.

    That is fascinating, I've never heard this before. Have to respect the advice from Freedom Arms, as they make some of the best revolvers in the world.

    Lil' Gun w/ .357 -& 41 Magnum Heavies

    Looking for feedback for revolver loadings 170-200 hardcast in .357.

    Then 250 & up in the .41 magnum.

    At what velocity threshold do gas checks come into the picture?
