Larry,
You may recall I sent you 10 of the standard pressure BB DEWC loads last year. They were not standard pressure, as advertised.
I've used 4.0 231 with DEWCs with great results, getting near 900 fps from a 6" Model 14-6.
I have one of each: Speed Six in .38 Special, Service Six .38 and a Security Six. They are strong as heck, but two of them need action work. Got any suggestions?
First of all, I'm shocked, I say SHOCKED, that you've confessed to not owning a .38 Special! I love that cartridge more than any other, rifles included. Reloading is easy, as inexpensive as the...
Good, quick, cheap revolver smiths: you may pick one.
Larry,
Thanks for running these tests for me (really all of us). I'm surprised by the numbers, since 3.5 BE with the 158 RNL is the original factory load. Along with Outpost75, I'm in for a .38...
I'm in the red dot sight business full time (that Swedish company) and I'd highly recommend Jeremy Daugherty/Vulcan Machinewerks, Plano, TX. There are lots of vendors for these services out there,...
I looked through several pages on that site and can't find the article you referenced. Can you help with a link to it, please?
I've killed ~30 whitetails with my S&W 625 Mountain Gun in .45 ACP over the past 15 years. A nice Keith 240 or 250 at 900 works extremely well. None have gone more than 25 yards and all have been...
I've killed a bunch of deer with .45 AR from a S&W 625 .45 ACP Mountain Gun using 255 Keith SWCs over 6.5 Unique at about 875 fps. Shoots all the way through, kills very well and isn't hard on the...

I love Bullseye and have found it to be very well behaved. The 3.5 grain charge for standard pressure .38 Special is the only charge I use for 148 - 160 grain loads and it works great. 4.0 with...

You can buy a full length ejector rod and center pin and replace the snub length one you have now with something that works much better.
As a follow on to Larry, after training thousands of troops and seeing millions of rounds downrange and reviewing facts on shooting incidents, I was able to cook it down to this: if a good guy...

How much does he charge for the work? I have a 397PA I'd like him to work over.
I've seen 9mm shot from .40 S&W pistols during police training/qual sessions. As soon as you hear it, you know what happened. It's a really flat report. I noted that it usually happened in low...
3.5 Bullseye or 4.0 231/HP-38 with a 150 - 160 boolit. That's about all you need to know for a working .38 Special load. It's full power, standard pressure.
Thanks to both of you on that! My bad on not clearly defining things. I've been getting curious about Power Pistol lately. Pearce has been showing some great loads with it in .38 Special +P, .44...
Larry,
Have you tested (or considered testing) the "Skeeter Load" of 7.5 Unique and what I call the modern Skeeter Load from Brian Pearce of 8.0 Power Pistol with 245 - 250 Keith style Boolits? ...
So, to give proper respect and honor to a true Texas gentleman on his birthday, I'd like to post something Charles Graff wrote a ways back on the 452423 boolit:

I have one of the reimported 10-5s that shoots 5" right at 25 yards with Outpost's DEWC and 3.5 Bullseye load. Great groups, but nowhere close to POA. My calculations show that I need about 0.033"...
