Thanks, I'm not the serious about it. As long as my gauge is close, I'm good.

No I didn't have an AD My new gauge only goes up to 8 pounds, and the double action factory trigger pull on a couple of my S&W revo's is WAY over that. On the plus side, the trigger pull on my 627 is 6 pounds, and 8 pounds on my 617. My Para comes in at 2.5, and my Kidd 10/22 at 2. What numbers are you guys seeing?

Do you have any contact info Dave Parker? I googled his name, but couldn't find him. Thanks

Never knew S&W offered that.

Yes, my S&W 627 always chrono's much slower than anybody's else's 627 that I test.

Agreed, I'll stop shooting until things get back to normal, what ever the new normal is.

I was stripper fishing in a gentleman's club, but my wife saw the credit card bills and made me stop going.

I load my 124s to 1.145 oal.

It was for me. I went from a 550 in 9mm and .38 Special to a 750. All I did was swap the dies and powder funnel. (Yes the shell plates are different)

Yeah, it was 80 today in So Cal, and a little too warm to go to the range

I had better luck with AA#2 and a Bayou bullet 160gr RN. Coated bullets were faster in my 627 than plated bullets.

Yep, that's why I load .38 Short Colt. You can use 9mm load data and go up or down from there.

I'm right at 6.25 pounds with 100 percent reliable ignition.

I finally gave up on trying to get .38 Special to make minimum, and just went with Short Colt. A .38 Short Colt is basically a rimmed 9mm and makes minor easily.

Here's what I got .38 Special: Titegroup 3.8gr, 158gr Berry's Bullet Digital Link Temperature:N/A Pressure:N/A Bullet Weight:158.0 Power Factor Average:114 Power Factor Low:111 Power Factor High:117 Number of Shots:7 Minimum:706 Maximum:745 Spread:39 Average:721 Standard Deviation:12 #VelocityFt/lbsPower FactorDate 7 715 179.34 112 2/8/20 9:55 AM 6 722 182.87 114 2/8/20 9:55 AM 5 721 182.36 113 2/8/20 9:55 AM 4 729 186.43 115 2/8/20 9:55 AM 3 715 179.34 112 2/8/20 9:55 AM 2 745 194.70 117 2/8/20 9:55 AM 1 706 174.85 111 2/8/20 9:55 AM

Looks to be about two pounds?

That's enough for me, but what are the rest of you guys going to do?

I've got two S&W 617s. One got a nice trigger, the other has a factory 26 pound double action trigger pull. Even super glue couldn't keep a shell on the end of the barrel

Umm, I already upgraded to wife 3.0 I'm a love, not a fighter.

Yes... ...suck a few dollars out of your wallet

Umm, ahh, somebody want to tell him? See its a joke. I used to spend hours in the garage loading ammo so my wife couldn't bitch at me. But a 750 with a case feeder and bullet feeder is so fast, I'm back in the house in no time
