Ran out to the range this morning before the rain

[reloader357]

Quick trip to the range before the expected rain set in today. The 17-2 and the 25-2 I think are officially my favorite revolvers. They always seem to make the trip. Federal WM bulk ammo, and 3.5 gr bullseye w/ 200 gr SWC in auto rim brass. I like all these things.

I get it. I get it!! Nice revolvers. It's nice to see them used and dirty; not all spiffed up and lonely. I like the way they compliment each other. With the barrel lengths, the sights, the grips they could be twins. Except, of course, one seems to have had a growth spurt.

I'm thinking you might want fill out the family with a 16, a 14, a 24 and . . . . OK I'll stop.

I agree 100%. I love to see a gun that is dirty from a recent range trip providing its owner with some good times and memories. They were made to be shot. It just like a good hound that comes out of the woods all bloody and tired from doing what he was bred to do and loved every minute of it. Glad you are having fun with your revolvers.

If you use moon clips with your 25 and either load them by hand or using a standard tube type tool, I just came across a tool that makes loading and unloading them real easy. I have a N45-6 mooner made by BMT Equipped Inc in Black Hawk, SD. It comes in two parts, a turning handle and a base. To load a clip you simply place the clip on the underside of the handle, attach the handle to the base and place 6 rounds in a shoot leading to the base and handle, then tip the shoot slightly up and turn the handle and it loads six rounds on the clip with ease. To unload a clip, you place the clip in the handle and attach the handle to the bottom of the base and turn and off the spent brass comes. If you're interested, check BMT Equipped, Inc on line, they have a great video that shows the process. I found that even using the standard type tube tool to load/unload my clips, it always was hard on the finger tips.
Here is the instruction sheet:
