new NJ guy
I've been lurking for some time and have picked up a lot of useful info here,
I was lucky enough to have spent many years with my father hunting and shooting with handguns. We would chrono our handloads and test their performance in wet newspaper. It was a great experience. Those memories are my most prized possession. These days, I try and make it to the range with my good friend Lou (a member here) who happened to be my dad's best friend.
I reload mainly for .44's and .45LC revolvers, but the short list also includes a magnificent .50 special from Hamilton Bowen and other machines up to the Casull. Back in the day, we went for horsepower. Now I load everything down to very pleasant power levels.
My most prized shooters in the S&W stable include the model 29-2 and the model 25-5. Properly cast bullets and Unique are the staples of my diet. I'm looking forward to reading about the experiences others have had with these fine revolvers and hope to be able to share mine as well.
See you on the forum!
Ray
