Thanks for your reply. Did you have to adjust your load at all between the two? On a side note. Your quote has great meaning to me, especially now, having lost an uncle and brother in the fight for this countries freedom those words mean more now than ever given what’s happening in Europe.

Thanks for the replys! It’s my understanding that the non-groove (flat sided) Bullets will have a slightly shorter oal due to the extra lead required to fill in the groove, this allowing for the same original weight. One vendor that I spoke with mentioned that his grooved molds finally gave out...

So I’ve been away for some time now and come back to find the (cast bullet) world has turned flat (no lube groove). For years I’ve loaded 45acp with 200 grain swc and 9mm with 124grn rnl with stellar results at 25 and 50 yards. These are coated, lube groove Bullets, btw. I went to restock my...

This is what I have been using in my 629 with no ill effects to the pistol, whatsoever. It’s a great load, accurate , dependable penetration and doesn’t snap your hand and wrist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you all for your input. I posted this while on the road in a very low reception area and was having trouble getting pictures from the seller. As it turns out I was one of two interested parties. As I was not fully available to focus my attention to the sale and respond in a timely...

Thank you, I don't know the serial but am confident that the seller did due diligence in researching the year it left the factory. I will try to get the serial. Also, edited title to reflect caliber. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello, all. It's been at least a few years since I've posted in this forum. I've always gained good insight and knowledge from you all. I have an opportunity to buy a new model three 6 1/2 inch target that is in what I would consider excellent condition. I have the same pistol, 6 1/2 inch...

Like the revolver, that piece of granite and the subsequent logo seemed to be destined for you. Great stories and, again, thanks for sharing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is a great story, thanks for sharing it. Now for the 'back' story....or, more to the point, the 'background' story. I am curious to hear the story about how the S&W logo was created in that slab of granite. It's really something all by itself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fair enough and no problem. I could have been more informative as to where I was coming from, where I had looked and so forth. I jumped on this powder because I had 'heard' it was a good all around pistol powder and it is about the only powder I have been able to find in some time. Once the...

Fair enough and no problem.

Yep, I bought the powder on a whim, because it was the ONLY pistol powder I could find. I didn't have time to research it, on the spot, so I'm playing catch up here. I was hoping to glean some hands on wisdom from those here in this forum that perhaps had loaded this powder using lead...

I recently acquired some CFE, usually load HP-38 and Unique for pistol. Not finding much data for 124 grain, round nose lead boolits and wondering if anyone has run this combo? If so what does your load data look like and how was accuracy? Any and all input would be appreciated.

After the election, remember that, seems like Forever ago, and then the Connecticut shooting, components all but dried up. Of course we all know this. As components evaporated many speculated as to when they would start coming back... At about that same time I had plenty outside of 'this...
