Thank you for the info. I'ts amazing - I never shot it and was thinking about selling it but I think I might hold onto it because of it's neat history. A local dealer offered me 200 for it not long ago. EDR

Thanks for the info. I really like it. I had it out and it worked perfectly with the FMJ winchester white pack ammo and the Federal hydra-shock HP stuff I put through it.

Thanks
Thanks for the info. I don't think I'm going to get rid of it. I'm glad he low balled me on it because it really is starting to grow on me anyway.
I would like to find one in a .357 with a longer barrel that I could carry with me deer hunting. And there's no such thing as having to...
