TRR8 is a okay revolver. I traded mine for a s&w 500 8-3/8" even. I also had a s&w night guard 386 that I traded for a s&w 500 4" even. I think that I made out better on those deals. My s&w 386 mountain lite fills both of their roles just fine. Mike

For just plain shooting pleasure, go with a LCR. I own three of them; 357, 38 special, 22 LR. They all have great stock triggers and easy to swap out sights. I also own four J frames; 337, 340 , 317 1-7/8" and 3". Both of my Ti cylinder j frames are great to carry and not so fun to shot! The 340...

Over the last month, Ive picked up 4" & 8 3/8" smith 500 and a cherry 337 Non-IL. Shooting the 500's is a blast! Everyone in the indoor range stops shooting when I let off a 500, women run outside! I am waiting on dies. Can't wait to make some cast loads and load it down a bit some my father...

My load is: WST 5.0 Grains Ranier 124 Gr Plated Fed Cases Rem 1 1/2 Primer COL 1.095 This load gave great accuracy from my SD9VE and glock 34. I did have access to a chrony and tested from the G-34 with COL @ 1.10 at 7100 ft elevation avg velocity 1104. YMMV :D

I run about 10-12 degrees cooler then abq. I own a beautiful custom build 4000+ sq. ft. with ugly views of my "neighbors" dog,goat and chicken pens. I am going to put up a dense hedge to block out the "nice views". I love living out in the country, but hearing goats all night long can drive you...

Here's the "not so nice view of my backyard". Looks like your in or near by the High Desert area. Really nice area! https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=14A01CF2715E5A61!2506&authkey=!AI2MVPxlBr3egjI&v=3&ithint=photo%2c.jpg

I hear you about not finding any powder anywhere. I've been paying scalpers prices for any kind of powder. I never though I would be messing with WST for cast bullets in 38 special and 45 acp! Hell, I started using 800X on lark for 9mm. Mike

Yes, I do have a couple reloading manuals. None show any data for a 205 Grain Wadcutter. I hate to shoot in the dark when it comes to reloading data. Mike

I really like using herco and unique for mid range 357 to 44 mag. I was thinking about using lead 200 gr data and reducing by 15%. Then working back up. Should get me in the ball park, but was hoping someone had data for me work off. Mike

Hello neighbour! What part of NM are you at? I live in the Sandia's Mike

I've got some 800X leftover from when I had a 10mm glock. Anybody using it for anything else??? I worked up a load of 9mm mixed head stamp 124 Gr HP plated Rainer WSP Primer Max 6.5 Grains powder COL 1.169. I use lee powder scoops because it doesn't meter with my lee powder dispenser. I...

A big Hello, from your next door neighbours in NM.

I just stumbled across some 205 gr 41 wadcutters at matts bullets. I am need of some where to start. Ive got herco, unique, blue dot, 231, WSF, WST , tight group and tight wad. Any help would be appreciated! Mike

Hello! I've been bitten with the S&W bug!!! This last November, I purchased a 242 ti. Little did I know that for some unknown reason. I would end up selling and trading off a lot of my pistols / revolvers for smiths. Over then last five months, I've purchased a TRR8, 386 Night guard, 317 1-7/8...
