I will take #5, round to square butt, Bubinga wood for $75. PM to follow.

"the Seven Mercenaries"? Perhaps you mean The Magnificent Seven...

I know it's old. I realize the OP is probably not reading this and has, by now, figured out the issue of point of impact. For those who are here now, as has been stated, the trouble is easily diagnosed. This drawing is one of several similar and tells the tale. Reverse if you are a lefty, like me!

One last shot to the top.

On up to the top, again.

Back to the top.

Bump to the top.

Perhaps because the 38 Colt, 38 Special, 357 Magnum progression already existed; filling the same purposes and with many more choices of guns to choose from... But maybe 32 S&W is easier to find than 38 Colt.

Are you sure the seating die doesn't crimp? Try running a case with seated bullet into the die with the seater stem backed way off. Turn the whole die in until you feel it make contact with the case mouth. Then back off the ram and add one half turn to the die into the press and see if that...

Unlikely because 5 in 1 blanks would have been used. They fit 38-40, 44-40 and 45 Colt so would fit in 44 chambers too, I think... Maybe not.

weight issues Hmmm. 22.4 oz automatic with 17 rounds of ammo or a 36 ounce GP100 with six rounds. I wonder if the difference is noticeable. But, carry whatever you want and hope for no encounter, which is the norm...

A little oil. A hardwood dowel that closely fits the bore. A hammer. And careful application of all of the above.
