I owned and shot a 357 B&D many years ago. I happened onto a set of dies, brass, bullets and reloading data at a gun show. Talked to the seller a while and bought the whole shebang for $125.00. I simply put the B&D cylinder in one of my Model 28 6" barrel guns. This was before I learned on this forum that you can't do that! It worked just fine.

IIRC, the original idea was to load heavy bullets for silhouetting. Some people thought it was more fun to see how fast 125 gr bullets would go. I tried both heavy and light bullets. Played with it awhile and sold it to an engineer who was very curious. He came to my place, we went to the range and he shot my 6" 28 a bit. I sold him everything I had bought.

Haven't heard from him since.
