Can you bend it up?

Yeah, I've got 12 pounds of 231, so it's going in everything

Thanks guys. I loaded 3.5, 3.65, 3.8, and 4 grains of 231. 4 grains was the only one worth shooting. The others were too light for my liking. Thanks for all your help

That's the same one I use with 3gr of Clays. Lots at 627 shooters use that load.

Anybody loading .38 Special with 147/148 coated bullets? I'm using Win 231 and I can't find any load data online. I'm thinking of starting at 3.5 grains. Thoughts?

I settled on a U die, and a Mr Bullet Feeder powder funnel. That works well for me. .

Is that one of the oversized funnels? I tried one, but had to toss it. No case tension.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all.

You'll really have to shoot it with and without the weight in the bolt carrier, and decide what YOU like. Everybody perceives recoil differently.

Literally the only good thing we have in Southern California is the weather. Oh, and great Mexican food too.

Yeah, it's crappy in So Cal too

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, won't get fooled again.

One of the guys I shoot with is a retired doctor. He's very wealthy with a huge gun collection. He let me shoot his Korth and Manurhin. I didn't have the heart to tell him what I really though. They were really well made and fitted, but not the right tool for the job I had in mind.

Am I the only guy that takes their guns to a qualified gunsmith?

Is there a YouTube video out there showing you how to do this? I learned brain surgery on YouTube, so far so goody.

You're excited and that's good, but you're WAY over thinking it. The Scheel system is a drop in buffer tube. It comes with full institutions and even a cheat sheet of which springs to run for what ammo, and even where to run them. Get your gun, install the Scheel, shoot the crap out of it. You'll have fun. .

Yeah, me. Run a 135 power factor and a light and heavy spring.

Don't waste your time or money chasing the last 100th of a mouse fart. Buy the Scheel, run a 135 power factor, put in a light spring and a heavy spring, spend your time and money practicing

Nice, I've got the same gun but in five inch.

Thanks, you just saved me $1200 bucks

And grease it when you put it back together.

So is there any advantage to this gun over my 5" 627 PC ?
