Thanks for the info Tony, I think we still give it a try, why not, maybe the higher pressure of .357 Sig will work, if not, we will all know. Appreciate all comments.

So what has started out as an idea, is turning into a pretty cool project with different good people involved, and it just may work. And if it does, let someone tell us "we did not build it" !!!

Safe trip, have fun

Thanks for the info, I looked up those companies already. Hopefully we have good turnouts at the 2 ZSA matches this weekend so I have a few $$$ to get the reamer. Who else id shootin The Cup with you? Is Cliff or Jerry going?

By the way, best of luck at Bianchi Cup

What a great offer ToolGuy!!!! I most certainly will send it to you. I will ask around and see the best place for a reamer, I'm guessing Brownell's and will get it out to you. One thing I love about the shooting community is the people, revo shooters are even a step above that!!! We can share addresses via PM's. The least I can offer in return is a LifeTime ZSA membership and an open invite to shoot with us anytime, thanks very much, John

http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=105155&st=0&p=1196219&hl=bottleneck&fromsearch=1entry1196219 That came from a search for the word bottleneck. -ld Thanks for that, I never thought to search for bottleneck, Appreciate it. This is THE BEST forum out there for finding good advice

[Moderator Note: ...since Larry did the search work, I went ahead and merged the two topics.] - Admin. Before everyone calls me crazy, and many have, hear me out. I have an old 6" S&W 28 in .357 Mag. The gun is not in real good shape, so it's just another revo. The external dimenssions of the cylinder are the same as my S&W 57 in .41 Mag, at average 1.710". Seems to be about .095" of meat left on the cylinders on the .41 mag, and about .115" on the ,357, so it should be able to be reamed out some??? Both guns are "N" frames, so strength should not be an issue?? I was thinking if the Model 28's cylinder was reamed to .357 Sig, the reloads would be way fast, hitting a .40 cal hole with a .38 cal bullet, moonclipped of course. The barrle is .357, and I know the Sig uses .355 bullets, but would not a .357 expander on the size die take care of that?? Looking at .357 Sig load data, we could make Major easy, and minor would feel like a cap gun in a 6" "N" frame. I know there are many on this forum that do custom revo work and was wondering if you would please give your opinions. Thanks, call me crazy, or maybe it might work, interested in any feedback, be SAFE and have FUN

I will try to start saving a few $$$ now to make it, Mel won't shoot revo, but will come along if we can make it, I think it's a great idea!!! Thanks Phil

No, I gave up shooting IDPA where I only shot revo, ESR and SSR, sorry, just not worth the aggravation to me anymore. All the best to everyone that still shoots it, just not my cup of tea anymore.

Will try to do a benifit match to help out, we have another new range in the area, we'll see what we can do

Good point, one of the many problems with the "rule book" more like a vauge guideline subject to poor interpretation by those that think they know, just my opinion

ALWAYS!!!!! If it's a major match or you have lots of time and $ invested, why would you not???

Not sure how, but we WILL come up with the money for this one!!! Support ZSA so we can get to the match !!

We've been shootin' Zombies all over North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Del Rio, Texas, Michigan and even at USSA in Tulsa, Ok last fall. The only gear you need for ZSA is a safe holster and a SAFE attitude, and be willing to have a great time. Have your local club/range get up with us and we will see about getting you on the right track to saving humanity. And yes you may see blue barrels from time to time, but they are just vision barriers, no need to reload behind them, and drop a mag whenever you want, you may even wear a vest if you feel a tad chilly.

I was going to add that as well, but why keep pointing out stupidity !!!! Some of these rules just make absolutely no sense at all.

But you can use .40 S&W in a revo marked 10MM, go figure, or .38 in barrel marked .357 Mag, makes a lot of sense does it not????

Nice Matt!!!!

Very well stated my friend !!

ZSA is all about the new shooter, and we are right here in the Raleigh area, join us this Saturday at Sir Walter in Creedmore for USPSA, just don't stand and watch, way more fun to watch through the rear sight !!

All of the above. Nice list, why not just shoot USPSA, have more fun and be compliant at the same time????? Just a thought.

Well said

I would like to James, but right now Mel and I are super busy with all the ZSA matches we are doing. Not ruling it out, but don't think we can, hard to run a match when we are not there !!! Best of luck if you go my revo bro !!!

How many revos shootin this match???

I use Federal brass in my TK clips, works great
