of my lightweight 37-2 and is a standard pressure load according to
every reloading manual I have. A substantial improvement over
factory target wadcutters and at standard pressure.
10-4. I use Pennbullets premium hardcast, and crimp in the first groove, giving me 1.245" COAL.

In my speedloader for my 642, I have Blazer brass 125 FMJ. Chosen for the round nose, to ease reloading. Reloading still takes me forever.
