I’ve been working a new project lately and got to wondering while working in a segment of it what ammo do folks carry in their J frame If you don’t carry yours feel free to jump in also with what ammo you usually shoot in it. I’ve got a ton of Winchester white box 38 so that’s what I carry...

From looking at the striations, consistency sweeping motions etc. I’d say it was a factory finish via finishing machine. Albeit the finishing isn’t as fine as it should be based on a ton of pics of 617 folks have sent me so I can make sure they pic the correct part set before they order

Great snag. More J frames the merrier

Glad I could help

Which is why I asked the question. To spur the knowledge base here so folks could see some input. On the subject, I did run across an article on reloading 38s in American Handgunner that the writer spoke of doing his own reduced loads. To the tune of 25% to almost 40% powder reduction by...

How about giving some constructive content then. Or do you not know the answer to the question. I do not reload. Thus why it was phrased as a question for reloaders But you can’t tell me that reducing loads in a powder reduction percentage manner cannot be done Regardless of what brand...

Ran across this cool video Jerry Miculek made about a year ago. I never knew Jerry was a minimalist. I got a kick out of his preferred tools to load and unload. He uses pliers to load and a piece of hydraulic tubing he made to unload. It’s called. All about moonclips...

On this low recoil line Brings up a question for the reloading guys Would the OP be able to just buy factory loads. Pull the bullet. And cut back the charge to say maybe half the powder. To make his own downloaded cartridges. That way all he’d really need is a scale and a simple ol lee...

You know. That’s a great point. The carbon ring from shooting 38 first then 357 without cleaning is known to make the cases stick. You might be right on the button. The 357 case could be getting bound up on the carbon ring. Forced rearward by the discharge which makes the 357 case head stick...

That’s a great looking rig

The random issues and case specific thing for the other chamberings, particularly 38/357 is due to the lack of a SAAMI spec for the rebate under the case rim. The brass manufacturers do basically whatever they want in that area. Which makes all the brass be different as far as being retained in...

From what I can tell, slotting in moonclips isn’t reallly to make them go in and out a ton easier. What the gain is in slotting is to allow them to flex just enough to accept all casings. I recall a couple years ago a big stink with 8 shot 38/357 clips. Had a ton on folks call and ask me why...

Funny. I just ran across a new moon clip place surfing the inter webs the other day. The quality looks nice. Much nicer than any other stainless moon clips I’ve ever seen Anyone used these yet. I’m more interested in the J frame ones they show as coming soon. Been thinking about CNC machining...

I like the bantams on my bug. Draws nice with the unorthodox way I carry that thing
