Checked with my buddy the other night. He can get the SP101 for me out the door right at $700, but this is him giving it to me at cost... Still thinking about the Taurus though, as I think it'll...

I have the Mihec's clone of this, the MP 356-125 2R: https://www.mp-molds.com/product/mp-356-125-2r-6cav-bevel-base/
As well as the 38-147 RN BB, which I actually think is a clone of the Saeco...

Diddo... If they're shinny, they're probably undersized... But I have a .356 mold that routinely drops close to .361 with the way I cast. So I guess that says something...
Nonsense. Many...
Yeah, it looks like S&W dropped the caliber. It used to be offered in the performance center 632, but doesn’t look like they’re doing that one anymore.
I’ve got a turret press, so it’s just a matter of changing plates, shell holder, and possibly primer seating equipment. So no hassle there. And honestly finding brass would probably be the biggest...
Great analogy. I am fond of the idea of the cartridge. And it does sound like a great cartridge. But the only real advantage I'm seeing over the .357 is the +1 capacity and slightly less recoil in...
Actually, that couldn't be further from the truth. I've found the opinions here to be very valuable. And mostly positive by about 2:1 of the cartridge. There are some disagreements as to it's...

Pretty much. About the only thing that keeps me going some days.
Worst part now is the swelling. Makes it hard...

Yeah, I took some of the Norco they gave me, didn't do anything but make me drowsy. Stopped taking then, and now I'm just drinking water, coffee, eating Ibuprofen, and smoking cigarettes... Feel...

I've got the old PC9 Police Carbine. Same gun, only not folding, and uses Ruger Mags and Ruger Scope Rings. Great guns for what they were designed for. A little dated by the same standards today. ...
Jeff, sounds like the Henry would be real fun with 32 Long for Cowboy Action Shooting. It's not something I'd do, but it does sound fun!
I own an SP101, and yeah, their triggers are pretty heavy. But I've never found that to be too much of a problem, as they tend to have a good stage on them to still get decent groups double action. ...
Yeah, probably won't end up that way before I make a decision. But a lever in 327 does sound interesting.
Actually, the Lipsey 32 Ultra Carry is sort of what prompted me to look into the 327....
Very interesting. I bet that Model 66 shoots real good with that cartridge! I think Ruger does offer a GP-100 in this round now tho, so that is about the equivalent of what you had built. Thanks...
I didn't claim it was breaking physics. But pretty much everyone seems to agree it has significantly less felt recoil. Been told it is loud as heck tho...

Yeah, that sounds painful! Hope they get you patched up, buddy. Good luck, and check in with us when you can. Wish you the best!
Don, I agree. But they say it is still about half the recoil of the 357 magnum. +1 round when you consider j-frames. But I'm curious what it does to cylinder throats... And it is going to be...
I mean, before I go spend $350 on a Taurus, $750 on a Ruger, or $1100 on a S&W, could you at least give me your impressions of it? :?
Like the title says, sell me on the 327 Federal Magnum.
I've been doing some reading, and it sounds like an impressive cartridge. The length of the 38spl, falls ballistically between 38spl and...

Yeah, they did mesh on both left and right inguinal canals.

To be honest, at my Job, if I decided to take a month off with no notice they wouldn't bat an eye. My boss would ask if there is anything he could do for me while I was out. And I can work from...

My understanding is most states allow you to choose the shop of your choice. The only gotcha is you could be responsible for overcharging. Some states have case law on the books that allow...

The_Antidote, if you don't mind me asking, what made your mind up to quit reloading? The reason I ask is, if it's because you found the results to not be worth the effort, this is something most...
