Yeah, you get much above 800 fps and cleanup is a pain. I never messed
around with gas checks. A long time ago I picked up some bullets at a
show that were a lot better. They were black with a moly coating I
think. I never saw them again so I don't know if the process was too
expensive for what they sold for.


I have rubber grips on my revolvers and wear gloves as wooden grips
which might look great can add to perceived recoil as well as chew up
your hands.

After a couple of outings with my first .357 I saw the reason for
Pachmayr grips. They did have a little right hand bias but it was better
than checkered wood.

I always shot cast over 2-2.5 gr of Bullseye for wad cutters. I used
something like Unique for hotter jacketed stuff.
