    Gents,

    My Blackhawk 6-1/2" shoots gently and pleasantly with 6.5 grains of Green Dot and the Lyman 220-grain semi-wadcutter. It's a great plinking load.

    Hello Thumbcocker,

    I, too, have found joy in the incredible accuracy attainable with some the "pocket-pistol/belly-guns" currently on the market.

    Howdy Whitetail,

    I think both Sigep1764 and Thin Man have made good suggestions.

    Dear Mr. Flintstone,

    Why not give the Lee 358-125-RF "cowboy" bullet a try. As far as self-defense is concerned, this bullet's substantial meplat would seemingly be a better "stopper" than a...

    I like the Lee .38/.357 125-grain revolver bullet in my Kahr pocket pistol. I believe Lee lists the bullet as their 358-125-RF.

    I've been running 5.4 grains of Herco under the Lee .358-125-RF, tumble-lubed and sized .3575," in my Kahr 3-inch-barrelled pocket pistol.
