Mouse farts ? Ha ha, you funny guy Joe. I loaded your exact load, and fired some today. At first I thought I was shooting squibs, but I was seeing holes in the target Here's my chrono report Name: .38 Short Colt: 164gr Bang RN: Clays 3.1gr: OAL 1.20 Notes: S&W 627 5" Shots: 8 Average: 813 ft/s SD: 9 ft/s Min: 795 ft/s Max: 824 ft/s Spread: 29 ft/s Power Factor Average: 133 Power Factor Low: 130 Power Factor High: 135 Barometric Pressure: 30 in Hg Temperature: 64 F Weight: 164.0 gr.

It's the load I need to make minor. Most guys are running right around there. My gun always chrono's slow.

I'm loading 3.0gr of Titegroup behind a 160gr Bayou bullet in .38 Short Colt, and my revolver is FILTHY. Is that what you guys are seeing? Is Clays or Clay Dot any cleaner?

With 3.2 the primers were cratered.

I was unable to shoot Win and Federal factory ammo in my 929 due to light hits, and massive bullet creep.

I ordered 2800 Bayou 160gr .357 RN, and got my order today. I got one large box and one small box both labeled 900. And one large box and one small box both labeled 500. Is that correct? There can't possibly be the same account of bullets in both the large and small boxes, can there?

Yep, I was shocked to see how much they bulged. Yep a few strokes with a flat file will smooth it out. I took a rat trail file and cleaned up the failsafe bracket on the powder hopper. That helped too.

Yeah, no, show up next year and see for yourself.

A unplugged drill will work too.

And last but not least, Stage 8

Stage 7

Stage 6... ...I forget to record stage 6

Stage 5

Stage 4, Reach For The Stars (X's) and count your rounds

Stage 3

Stage 2

But I enjoyed it more than the SW ICORE Regional the day before. It's a friendly crowd at Phoenix Rod and Gun Club, the stages were fun, lunch was included, and there were attractive young ladies driving around in golf carts giving out snacks, frozen candy, and fresh fruit. I didn't do very well (again) but I had fun. Stage 1 (Steel My Heart)

My squad from yesterday

Yes, when I use .040 moon clips in my 929 I get lock up. .035 works fine.

Stage 1, I hope you practiced your reloads
