Yes, two handed as well as one hand. In the 1911A1's and the revolvers I am at the first joint. With the 52-2 and the High Standard, the tip of the finger. I don't have a weight for 52-2, but do use a 2 ounce on the High Standard with a 7 1/4' fluted barrel. Reloads for the 52-2 are Winchester nickeled brass trimmed back .005" (for consistent crimp) with 2.7g Bullseye 148g Remington HBWC and a slight roll crimp, just enough to see the crimp roll over with a flush seated bullet.
