    357 magnum defensive ammo

    Are the newest run of the .357s put up in nickel cases? It has been a while but the last ones I got on clearance from Midway were in nickel then someone on here said they got some in plain brass.........

    Self Defense: 357 Magnum VS .38 Special

    I’m a big proponent of the .38spl. I really like the way the shorter case ejects from a smaller gun but nearly all factory loaded 38 special is loaded just a little bit lite for 2” use. I would just like to see a real 875 to 900fps with the Gold Dot 135gr or 160 swchp from a 2” bbl. The only...

    Searching for 32-20 brass

    My shipping date is now 08–23-23. That’s the third time they backed me off. I don’t think I got them I think they’re hoping to get it.

    Why not Elmer Keith that 38 special

    I have loaded a lot of 160gr lswc on 5gr Unique. This load will give you about 100 ft./s better velocity than most factory loads. This is Elmer and Skeeters light regular load. Anybody that shoots it normally prefers it to factory RN loads. It gives something over 900 FPS in a 4 inch barrel...

    J Frame Snub Owners: What is your favorite carry load?

    Those Federal 158gr swchp +P loads are easy to run through a crimp die and put a firm crimp on them. Then they won't move forward under recoil in a small snub............. Those were on sale at an on-line source a few years back and I ordered a case at about $17.00 a box. I tightened up the...

    If you had to shoot a Black Bear;

    I’d go with the SWC or JSP and leave the HPs at home. That’s just my opinion. I would go for penetration.

    J Frame Snub Owners: What is your favorite carry load?

    I usually load a 158 grain FMJ Perfecta followed by 2 158gr Speer 158gr swchp handlloads and 2 cast swc handloads in a lcr. Right now I’m loading 6gr VV N340.

    Some .38 Special Chronograph Tests

    Still Great data, the 38 special we’ll go 900 ft./s On a full charge of dirty old black powder or a healthy charge of unique and it is still about the most used revolver round. B McGilvery I enjoy about anything you post. THANX

    Why not Elmer Keith that 38 special

    I can't be sure because the gentleman is dead but I may not have read everything about the man. Only everything I can find. I am just so tired of every keyboard cowboy telling how many guns he was to have blown up. Therefore I have a tendency to ask them to prove their claims. I have done this...

    Why not Elmer Keith that 38 special

    Bob "Superman" is right we know of these events only because Elmer wrote about them and he wrote about everything he did. In his famous article in "The American Rifleman" in 1946? entitled "The Last Word" he wrote about loading with number 80 powder that with a bullet of his design in his wife's...

    Why not Elmer Keith that 38 special

    Not true He blew up 2, both black powder Colts in .45Colt calibre. One with too much Black Powder and a .458" 300gr bullet and one with Kings Semi Smokless powder. One blew a weak casehead and took off the loading gate and nearly severed his trigger finger. The other was worn out primer...
