I use 700X for 9mm. 4.9gr pushes a jacketed, 115 gr bullet at 1150+ out of a G17- with some pressure signs. I love the recoil impulse, short and sharp.
If you decide that you just can't find a load- I'd be interested in buying the 5# from you- I'm living in Sin City too.
I'm definitely going to give it a try, since the powder was dirt cheap when I bought
it several years ago. Just hope it is still safe for reloading purposes (sealed container).

I have a 5 lb. can of 700-X Powder that I've been wanting to "burn" up and I found a couple of interesting loads for .38 Super on the Internet ...
Anyone out there have experience with 700-X in .38 Super ... especially for Revolver (major & minor loads) ... ?

Bought one just like it when I first started reloading. After an hour of head scratching frustration, it now sits in my cabinet under the reloading bench with the rest of shortcut shi* I can't use. Bought an inexpensive Hornady scale for $30 that holds zero and is accurate to within 1/10th of a grain, and haven't looked back.
ETA: Putting my money where my mouth is:
They want $25 delivered, I'll sell you mine that was used for one reloading session for half that amount delivered to your front door.
Finally, someone who actually has experience with this (price range) scale.
I'll just go ahead and buy a good one and be done with it.
Thanks for your honest opinion ...

The resolution for grains is in 0.2 increments. Buy a dillon or rcbs or lee or CED or a scale with 0.1 grain resolution. Also a scale which holds its zero is a good idea.
Are you stating THIS Scale will not hold it's zero ?
I know the other scales you listed are recommended, but I rarely reload anymore
and won't be competing in anymore National Events as the effects of old age have
caught up with me, so I just wanted something other than the Beam Scale I have
used in the past and didn't want to spend a lot of money.
I really wanted to know if anyone has ACTUALLY had good or bad experiences with THIS particular scale.
Thanks for your reply ...

Has anyone here owned or used one of these scales ? If so, is it accurate enough for reloading purposes ?

I've been testing Bear Creeks 40 cal 140 gr. RNFP and I'm impressed.
I've only used them in a Glock so far but they work great. The OAL is a little short and I haven't tried them in a 1911 yet but I will soon.
Try em' you'll like em'.

I'm gonna try some in my 6.5" 610 wheel gun for IPSC
and the 4" 610 for IDPA.

Thanks for the Bear Creek Bullets Phone Number. I found this picture of the various .40 cal. bullets they offer.
Looks like the 140 gr. RN will do the job for me, so I'll give them a jingle tomorrow.
-
Many "moons" ago, I shot 155 gr. round-nose bullets for IDPA and Steel Challenge.
They fed & functioned well, and were very accurate.
I would like to know where to find several thousand of them on the West Coast. I
prefer Moly-coated, but plain Lead or Copper Plated will do.

I listed it in the USPSA Classifieds so as to give a fellow shooter a chance at it prior to a general public offering ... I paid plenty for it when I purchased it, and the Moonclips/Holders are easily another $400.00 retail, so the pistol is actually selling for around $1300.00 ...
Please forgive me for even posting this in the Revolver Section ... It should now be in the Classifieds ...
I was just curious to know if anyone had heard of a new batch of these revolvers being offered by S. & W. and my question has been answered ... Thanks to all who repllied
-
IMHO you have as much chance of selling that gun for $1700 as I have of buying one for $400.

Check these recent GunBroker auctions, then re-think your opinion ...

I have a Like New 627 8-shot .38 Super with less than 200 rounds through it advertised on the USPSA Classifieds at $1700.00 including Case, Accessories, Paperwork, (30) New Hearthco Moonclips, & (10) Shoot-a-Moon Holders ...
Some guy just emailed me and said he can buy them all day for $950.00 ...
Anyone out there have a line on these at that price ? ... I want to buy a truck load ...
-
Do a search for speed-e-rack
I think you must use Hearthco clips in the speed-e-rack. My 38 special will only work with Hearthco. Ranch and TK fit very loose and can fall out.
Thanks a lot ... I found their website ... The Speed-e-Rack is designed well and would serve my purpose if I only had one gun ... However, it appears I have to buy specific models for 627 & 625 ..... and ..... there is no mention of a model to fit the 610 in .40 ....... Soooooooo, I will either try to make my own or buy the North Mountain 4-row ...

Jerry is now using one of Elliot Eysens' moonclip holders.
I would be very interested in seeing this setup before I decide what to buy.
I need a multi-clip holder that will work well with my 627 .38 Super, 610 .40, and 625 .45
Anyone have a picture and details or a website location where I can view this critter ?
-
Does anyone out there offer a comparable multi-row moon clip holder at a more resonable price ... ?
$110.00 for Kydex and 4 Steel Posts seems a little pricey to me ...
-
Just bought a new 610 in 6.5" and will need a Holster for ICORE & USPSA ... I currently have a Blade-Tech for my 627 8-Shot .38 Super, but it would need to be modified to fit the longer barrel ... Should I just go ahead and do that or buy another Holster ... ?
Also ordered 30 RIMZ Moonclips from Brownell's, since several of you recommended them ... How about a Moonclip Holder for the 610 ... ? Should I go with a North Mountain 4-5 Row or something else ... ?
-
I had that and the Dillion = I keep the Hornady Bullet seater with the Micoro top and the Dillon size die. the hornady is too slow to fix when a case rolls off and bends the decap rod.
buy the Dillon
I got a set of Hornady's Carbide "for cheap" on eBay and will try them ...
-
I just realized that I had sold all of my .38 Super Dies last year and now need a set for my New 627 8-Shot .38 Super ... The Hornady Titanium Nitride Set is $40.00 at Midway ... Anyone have an opinion on this Die Set ??
-
How about a 10-shot .380 for Steel Challenge ... ??? Talk about NO Recoil ...

Did not see many replys on your holster choice. I shoot USPSA and ICORE with a 6" 25-2 drawn from a Blade Tech DOH. I like it a lot and do not feel like I give up much to the race holsters.
While we're on the subject of Blade-Tech Holsters, where is the best place (price) to buy the DOH Tech-Lok for my 627 5" ... ?
Read THIS and then think seriously about supporting Kenney That is where I bought mine
I took your advice and emailed Kenny at Speed Shooters Specialties ... He hooked me up with the perfect Blade-Tech Holster and Miculek spring kit for my 627 Super ... PLEASE NOTE: I first called Blade-Tech to order the Holster and was told that I must wait 4-6 weeks for them to custom build it ... Kenny had them IN STOCK and NO ONE else did ... Fantastic Service from a Great Guy ... !!!!

That's what I was hoping to hear ... I figured the Rescomp Holster may be more than I needed ... Thanks for the reply.

I agree with Scott. Get one of these. Buy part number 352-197-100 it works with the 38 Super, 38 Special, .40, or 10mm. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/Pro...N+CLIP+STRIPPER
Also, I use my Moonsetter tool to hold the clip while demooning. You can go to town with the combination.

Thanks to all for the good advice ...

EXCLUDED Modifications (NON-Inclusive list):
1. Oversize or heavy barrels.
2. Oversize cylinder latches.
Well, that answers both questions ... I will just look for a used OEM barrel ... Thanks for the info.

My Son operates a metal fabrication business near Las Vegas and we are working on an all-metal
version similar to the one in question. Of course, it will be slightly heavier but very durable.
I will be putting it through the paces at Richmond HotShots Range in Northern California when completed.
We have no plans to market it .... I just want a reliable platform for Revolver competition.
