Hey guys,
Looking for some help with an impulse purchase. I picked up a 686-7 in 38 super yesterday. I'd never seen/heard of one. It did not come with any accessories.
I rushed down to Dillon and picked up some Starline 38 Super +p brass.
The brass rocks forward and back in the chambers. The extractor does not catch the (admittedly small) case rims.
The cylinder does not appear to be cut for moon clips.
1. Does this model require moon clips to run?
2. Is it unusual that the cylinder doesn't appear to be cut for clips?
3. Is there a particular style of moon clip that I need?
4. I've never slugged a barrel before. Does anybody else have this model (or another S&W 38 super barrel?) and have slugged theirs? Should I be using .355, .356, .357, or even .358 projectiles? Does anybody have a favorite?
