Just to clear up how I'm going to use the 327, it's going to be a dedicated Steel Challenge revolver, and I will be using .38 special brass and bullets left over from my cowboy action shooting days. I've bought moon clips for the .38 specials and have developed a 100 PF load. I'm excited to compete with it.

I have a new TRR8 that I'm doing a little smoothing on. It has a part inside that I'm not familiar with. Research shows that it is a Bolt Block. Apparently, it slides up between the cylinder release and the frame at some point in the operation. I plan on leaving the hammer block out when I reassemble, should I leave out this Bolt Block too? I can't really figure out what its purpose is or what activates it. Thanks, Doug

I'm just trying to figure out if one hotel is closer to the range than another. It's been a long time since I've been there, I'm sure it's changed a little since 1968.

Are there hotels near the range? How far is the range from Corpus?

I should have been more specific, I load 9mm for auto, but I have a separate set-up for 2 929 revo's I load for, using heavy .357-.358 sized bullets. It sounds like there's a 327 in my future! Thank you for the advice!

I have the hots for a 327 TRR8, but i'm heavily invested in 9mm components. So my question is, can I shoot 9mm through a 327, could I use the 929 moon clips I already have, or would it need reaming. Could it even shoot 9mm? Thanks, Doug

I wouldn't load a bunch of these until I was sure they will function in whatever you plan on shooting them in. They are pretty weak.

GMR-15, 5 inch barrel 100 grain Berry bullet with 3.4 grains of VV N310 Temperature: 72F Pressure: 29.7 in Hg Bullet Weight: 100 Power Factor Average: 103 Power Factor Low: 100 Power Factor High: 105 Number of Shots: 10 Minimum: 1000 Maximum: 1051 Spread: 51 Average: 1032 Standard Deviation: 16

Foxtrot Mike 5 inch barrel Digital Link 3.5 grains Sport Pistol, 100gr Berrys bullet, 1.12 oal. Too weak Temperature: 94F Pressure: 29.8 in Hg Bullet Weight: 100 Power Factor Average: 98 Power Factor Low: 93 Power Factor High: 103 Number of Shots: 10 Minimum: 938 Maximum: 1037 Spread: 99 Average: 986 Standard Deviation: 28 It's too weak to run reliably in my PCC, I haven't tried it in a handgun.

Revolver Rimfire would be great with me too. I'm sure several of my shooting buddy's would shoot RR if it was an official class.

I run CCI Standard Velocity or Mini Mags in mine. I shoot Steel Challenge and I can't tolerate any clicks. I practice with some of the other brands already mentioned, except Winchester. I bought a bunch of M22 in the black box and have had miserable luck with it. I'm pretty leery of any Winchester .22 now.

Welcome JR18! What clubs do you shoot?

I shoot a GMR-15 in Steel Challenge, so I will limit my opinion to your magazine question. Glock magazines are the way to go. I use the 33 round and the 17 rounders. I personally don't see the need for magazine extensions. Remember, in SC the extra weight of all of that ammo will potentially make the gun heavier and slow you down. Just my 2 cents.
