The revolver came in and I am pleased... the original walnut grips were a little small so I made some elk antler grips from a dog chew and they are larger and give the gun a better feel:

Nice! That is very similar to the NOE 454255, thats what I am going to load up and shoot with the 45 AR brass.
This is what I use in my Ruger LCR .38 Special +P, 100gr DEWC hard cast going at 950 fps, excellent penetration, mild recoil
the debate is shooting lead in the Glock factory barrel... I shoot lead in my G20 and I use a replacement barrel.... use hardcast and keep the velocity no more than 1000 fps and you are good to go......
I got to handle the revolver yesterday, can't believe how solid it is, built like a tank, the finish was much better than what was shown in the pictures... I have to be infringed of my constitutional...

all things the same but heavier bullet would require less powder

the gun will be a range queen for me, I enjoy historic firearms so I would like to find something I can use that is lighter and load at lower pressure to not over stress the gun...
good to know,...
What is the experience with harder cast bullets as opposed to soft? this is supposed to better and prevent leading, I dunno????
Haha that's great, was it an easy install?
Can this revolver be dry fired without worry to damage?
this is the direction I was thinking about going, how do you think the NOE 454255 would work out (I have this mold)?
45 AR brass can't be found right now, anyone want to part with some send me a...

Thank you! Makes it easier for sure. I'm going to get a cheap coffee grinder with some W231 and see how that goes.
If I make some Aluminum fines will they store long term, or do they oxidize...

Does using the coffee grinder on the NC mean that the mortar and pestle step with glass/nc is not now needed when mixing EPH20?

model the load in Quickload, it has always done me right (along with published loads) and steered me in the right direction
Another good reference point, thanks.
This round is my "old man" SD defense round... manageable recoil easy to get on target. The wadcutter is an excellent penetrator, and when oven hardened to...
thank you sir that helps, good reference point
I used Quickload to give me a starting point and tested 4.9 grains W231 bullet seated flush, it chronied at 975 fts avg for 10 shots. I was really...
Ruger LCR 0.38 Special +P
super light, change the grip to something more low profile and you can conceal it just about anywhere
Looking for reload data for a 100grain lead DEWC with 0.38 Special +P using W231, can't seem to find anything on this round. This will be used in a Ruger LCR 1.875" barrel length.
Interesting...
