I was in my good old trusty gun shop today and found a bullet in my pocket while we were having coffee.
It was one of my chamber throat check slugs, a .3583 that pushes through my silhouette 586's chambers with little finger force. That gun is working nice with .358 cast.
We were talking,I found the slug and they brought some 38 Special revolvers on the table. Someone was coming to take a look at the guns. I got this brilliant idea of slugging their throats...
A Mod 15 was too tight for my slug, a better looking Mod 14-3 on the other hand felt almost perfect,I figure it has ~3585 throats. Easy push through. The gun is fine,even tight.
That 14 could most probably shoot my .358 boolits. It is not expensive,revolvers don't sell in this corner of the World right now. But I like older S&W's very much. I have no 38 but I have brass.
No real need but a potentially good cast shooter...,a nice,mild practise gun...
Do I have a reason?
