I agree with you and Elmer, in the early 70's my buddy got a 27 and I got the 28 both with 6 inch barrels he would score a 99-100 when qualifying in competition with his and mine shot just as good, amazing how accurate those revolvers were and .

The powder break down was more of a concern of mine than a bullet going off in the tumbler. Tumbled thousands of live rounds over the last forty some years, sometimes tumbled for hours. Occassionally would pull a bullet to check the powder, it would be as it was when put in the case. However...

Thanks Paul5388, I'm going to try that load from your book, Hornady 3rd edition, Lyman #46 & #49 editions along with the Sierra 1971 edition have no mention of IMR 4831 for the 300 H&H. My NRA 1981 Handloading book does shows the 180gr remington bullet with 73grs IMR 4831. My Nosler #3 book...

That's the problem, I've got IMR 4831 powder but nothing for the loadings. If I remember right, H4831 was a bit slower than IMR4831 that's why I was asking if Peter might have the listings in one of his abundant newer Sierra Reloading books with the IMR loadings...:)

Nice collection, I noticed you have a selection of Sierra reloading books. I have the 1971 copyright version & maybe you can shed some light on a question I have pertaining to the 4831 powder for the 300 H&H w/180gr matchking HP bullets. I believe the powder was from the military(?) back then...

Here's a thought, I use 38's & 357's without recoil problems but for someone like your wife, I think the 327 Fed mag would be ideal if she's having problems with flinching & recoil. With the 327 Fed mag she could shoot anything from 327 Fed Mag, 32 H&R mag, 32 S&W (Long), 32 S&W (short) all in...

Does anyone have experience with green dot & 38 spl 150gr cast loads. I've been running 4.0grs green dot in my loads, they aren't sticking, some cases fall out while a few have to be nudged out of the cylinder. I had initially used these loads as light loads for my Highway Patrolman 357 but...
