Ever since I was a teenager I've been fascinated by the design and operation... and the idea that I could open and KA-CHUNK a revolver and send the empties flying!

Eventually it occurred to me that one of the finest benefits of a revolver as a handloader was not having to pick up scattered brass from the range, as I do with all my semi-autos. The idea of willfully scattering revolver brass just for fun was a facepalm moment.

Eventually the flame for this idea kind of burned itself out... and I also scratched the itch by finding an H&R Sportsman 6-inch in .22LR from 1951 and it might be most all of the fun of a top-break without the annoyance of chasing down brass.
