Safe ammo for a 27-2

[Adupuy]

El Paso's Model 2 (?) is almost a clone of Safariland's old M-29, and at least as well made. I've owned about five, some of each, Holds a six-inch .357 high and comfortably. I've used them for J, K, and N frames, all LINED and basketweave stamped. Work and leather is usually better than on Bianchi.

Hydra-Shok or conventional JHP or JSP. I don't trust recent Remington ANYTHING, ammo included. Use 158 grain unless you know something better for that need. Avoid hot 125 and lighter bullets, esp. in K-frame .357's. Very erosive to bbl. throats.

You must wear proper gun belt, not a common pants belt. Difference in comfort and support is very substantial.

I have several gun belts, all very good. Ditto on Remington.

Anyone have any experience shooting the 27-2 with the 357Blazze s 158gr. ? If so, how do you like them?

 

[MagnumJeff]

Which manufactured ammo were you using with those 158g Blazzer?

Reloading food for thought,

In '75 I purchased a new colt python. In 357/6" barrel. I tried new ammo and ended up reloading looking for sweet spot. This revolver drove me up the wall searching for accuracy. I tried just about every bullet weight and load. One day I realized this revolver always shot high at 25 yds. I made up some Speer 140 gr JHP using 2400 powder. I took aim at small rocks on the 100yd berm and I could ping any target at 100 yds. I haven't tried this load in my m28/m27 yet.
