NICE !!! get it my revo friend

Craig, I'm trying to make a statement here, work with me brother!!! The point is that the lenght of the brass should make no difference, power factor and caliber are what should decide, in my humble opinion. That's what makes shootin' Zombies soo much fun, few rules to get bogged down in, just show up, be safe and have fun!!! Bring your "A" game down South this year brother, it's on!!!!

You can learn much by shooting with better shooters, but don't try to match speed with an "M" or "GM" if you are a "B" or lower, that's just asking for mikes. Learn how they "read" a stage and how they move through the course, best of luck

By the way, this load drops Zombies in their tracks !!!

Okay, I gotta ask, which mould is thAt that is dropping a 198gr boolit for .38? And what did your brass originally start out as..... .38 Special??? Hey Chills, The mold is a "Lyman" # 358430 and is item # 766-200 from the Midway catalog. It's listed as 195 gr., but my alloy drops at 198 grs. Yes, my brass starts as .38 Spec, hope that helps

Is that 6 whole Coco Puffs and standrad small pistol primer, or magnum small pistol primer? I heard if they have lots of choclaty powder, 5 will get you there, must chrono to verify!!

Now you're talking let's see a real whizbang gun like that and how about a scandium Xframe in 38 short colt too? Idpa uspsa and Icore covered by the 38 short colt! You know John I wish you weren't such an underrated mad scientist of the revo...that way I could feel twice as good when I finally beat you! Underrating is overrated, and yes you will beat me, just have some respect for your elders and be nice when you do, grab me my cane and help me back to the home, you rotten young buck with fast reflexes and good eyes!!!

Sorry Ted, my mistake, I trim to .930", they seem better than the .955" I originally posted

Hey Ted, I use a "Hornady" trimmer ('bout $60.00 from Midway) and then chamfer/debur on the RCBS case mate machine. I bought the power drill adapter for the trimmer, as your arm will fall off if you do a large batch at a time with the hand crank. I do about 100 or so at a time and then the fingers get sore from chamfer/debur. The brass ejects much better as it will clear the star even on my little K frame 66, and it seems to be a very efficient load based on the space and powder used. Hope that helps my friend

Welcome to the right place

Best of luck to you with the new club, hope you do well

You got it Gregg, I trim my brass to .955" and use a 198 gr lrn that I cast over 2.7 grs of Clays. Makes minor in my 4" for USPSA and I declare minor. Very accurate and soft load, but not for IDPA, even though it makes a real power factor, you can't use it, but you can use little sissy loads with regular .38 brass and risk not even seeing the powder in the case. My load is great for Zombie shootin' though !!

GAMER !!!!!!!!

I shoot my own cast bullets all the time. I've tried different ways and found a good alloy blend that I smelt and shoot a 1,000 at least per month. Very little leading (use the Alox as mentioned above). I keep my loads below 1,000 FPS and go heavier to keep velocity down and still make power factor, good luck

Looks good, thanks for the info

Welcome, now get out and shoot!!!

Welcome, you are in the right place
