I think I'm goimg to try more 6.3 gr HP 38, was about threshold for recovery time, seemd most accurate as well

Shot a GP100 for many years before giving it to my son. I think this FBi +P+ load shoud be enjoyable and shootable for years. He's gonna have to wait awhile for this pistol.

Just back from range, man does this gun like HG51 mould 158 SWC and HP38 powder. I started at 6.0 and a 6 round group going .3 gr increments. No trouble getting clusters at 10yds, something I could never do with a J frameor SP101. AT 6.6 the recovery time started to get too lengthy for me...

All good info guys thank you ! I already have 158s in hollowpoint and Keith swc on hand. I ran some medium 125 loads (my handload) and found recovery time to be far from good. This gun wont be on the street and if needed it will be on my land only. We tend to have reality-based jurors and...

Want to build 2 loads for this gun, one practice and 1 defensive load. Im aware of the forcing cone issue these guns have so I'm focusing on lead 158 grain bullets in the 1,000-ish velocity range. Since the pressure data I'm looking at is in the 23K-ish range I'm hoping that won't beat the gun...

Hi Jack she IS marked 13-2. I really need to get my glasses checked ! Sorry for the wrong info. She will now be used as intended lol.

Turned 60 last week, forgot glasses lol. Lets try 8D34134. I believe the location of the minor wear steers me more in a drawer for quite a while scenario rather than a holster.

If I keep her she'll get some gentle-ish handloads and live on as a safequeen for the kids ! Thanks guys !

Hi folks I just picked up a very nice 13-1 3 inch .357 round butt ser#80341xx. It has a pinned barrel and recessed type cylinder. It has aftermarket grips, no box or extras (well 1 speedloader). I rate at 95+%, no edge wear, one small blem on 1 cylinder flat. Perfect case color, very very faint...

Looks good Bob, thanks for the confirmation !

Model 60-1 CST Hi Folks just bought a "possible" with no box, papers or original grips. Action is great as is bore/cylinder condition, carried with usual light wear. Ser #AIV0210. How can I tell if it's legit ? Serrated front sight, combat trigger and hammer, no sight insert. Bought as a...

Actually I think I found something better there. ANIB M3913, for $449.00. Since I'm not a .40 guy (either) and I load 9mm by the buckets this is a better fit for me, and likely more collectable.

My local Cabela's has a very good condition pre-rail 4013TSW with 3 mags (no box : () for $429.99, sound like a good score ? Anything I need to check before I buy ?

I use Lee FCD in every handgun caliber I load, which are pretty much all of them. I have a very experienced friend who recommended the Redding die but I haven't tried one yet.

Used it in .380, 9mm (multiple weights), .38+P(multiple), .357m (multiple), 10mm(multiple) and .44mag(multiple). Was able to duplicate Speer's data in .380, 9mm and .38+P for top velocities with excellent accuracy in these calibers, and did so with the 10mm with 150gr Noslers as well. All of the...

Cast Performance 255gr LBT gave excellent accuracy from my Alaskan. So good in fact I wish some of my JHP loads shot as well. I used Alliant 2400, started at 18.5gr IIRC. No leading issues whatsoever.

I've never used Universal but I have loaded Power Pistol in everything from .380acp-.44mag and it's the only bulk powder I own. I use Speer's data (mostly) or Hornady and my chrono'd loads in 9mm, 10mm and .357mag are almost identical with Speer's data. Take from that what you will. There's a...

CB, that was another caliber I read that responded well to BE, along with .38 Super and 9mm Major loads. I came close about 8-10 years ago to going with .357 SIG but went 10mm instead for ease of reloading. I go with either a 135gr Nosler or 150gr usually.

Ed, thanks for the response ! I'm very excited to give BE a try, glad I found it locally finally. Did it burn clean in .357 for you with jacketed bullets ?

Hit Cabela's last night to buy some HS-6 but left with some Alliant BE-86 instead. I think for me the (hopefully) reduced flash will offset what I may not get for previously stated velocity goals. I also load 10mm and have been reading about how versatile BE is in a wide range of calibers. Can't...
