My guess is that all of the damage visible is from the techniques used opening the cylinder with a bullet that jumped crimp and the extraction of brass from a high pressure round stuck in a titanium cylinder. The cracked brass on the jumped round confused me, but I believe it is from the bullet...

If you are settled on those components, the Hodgdon site has data. I like HP-38/W231 for a number of applications, but I primarily shoot cast bullets.

I met him twice. First time was very brief. He was at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola discussing the upcoming movie about Apollo 13. They had the book coauthored by CAPT Lovell for sale. It had Tom Hank's picture on the cover. Just a couple of years later he came aboard the USS...

I wonder how many folks that believe striker fired is impossible to do safely have also carried a Winchester Model 70 or similar bolt action around in the woods. This is just food for thought, and not meant to lessen concerns of P320 unintended discharges.

I've only seen one this year, but I haven't been out in the desert as much as I normally am. It was by the back door at work. I got the shovel out of my truck, scooped it up and set it free back in the open desert. One person in particular at work wasn't very happy. Hanta virus is a real...

Bear Creek has hollow based. https://www.bearcreeksupplybullets.com/ Before I cast my own, I shot a decent number of their .38 WCs and 200gr .45 SWCs.

Dillon carries the Complete Reloading Manual from Loadbooks mentioned above. It has the RCBS data as well as several others. There isn't any newer data, but I do find it useful. https://www.dillonprecision.com/15361 Oct/Nov 2018 Handloader Magazine has good data as well.

Don't forget to double check reciprocity and restrictions. Several years ago I was taking a family trip through a few different western states and was planning on taking advantage of reciprocity with my Florida permit. I KNEW Nevada had reciprocity (it always had). When I started checking my...

I got married in Key West at the the old fort that is now the Key West Garden Club. People were talking about an iguana that showed up and was hiding amongst the flowers. First one most of us had seen in the keys. 13 years later they were everywhere and jets were waiving off landings because...

I was going to post a reference to the same Handloader article. My favorite, if you are looking for this velocity, is 8grs of Power Pistol. Somehow, it is supposed to be under 15,500psi and I get an honest 970fps out of my 4 5/8 Blackhawk w/ a homecast 429421 that weights about 256gr.

There is a Model 24 "mis-marked" as a Model 28 on the big auction site right now. I find the finish on the frame interesting for the description provided. Bids are higher than I would have guessed. I like it for what I believe it is, but not enough to bid.

The town did their fireworks last Saturday. They caught the desert on fire behind the fairgrounds. That meets up with desert behind my house. All the firetrucks showed up, but wind direction was favorable, so I wasn't too worried.

I might have made a poor assumption before my first post. So what caliber and/or gauge is it? I was thinking .460 or .500 S&W.

Meh. Not my cup of tea, but looks like it serves the same role as my T/C Contender.
