Preferred 627 Model

[R112mercer]

I've shot a bunch of .356 Zero bullets out of my 627's, funny thing is I'm getting better

<snip>

Forgot to say......

I did have to go to a Lee undersize die for my 38 spcl loads using .355/.356 bullets.

I had bullet pulling as opposed to any kind of set back issues (probably common for revo's)

and it was more of a problem with older brass.

I would think using the LUD can only help for .357 sized heads.

Dave;

I used the 9mm powder funnel when I used .356 bullets, so the case wouldn't get flared as much.

And another thing I forgot yes I use the 9mm also.

Lessee, I think that's all.......I did have an issue between a redding crimp and the dillon

crimp die but that was more old brass related I think .......

Nope, I think that's it

Well I will jump in here.

I have 2 627's and one 686 all in 38 super.

I have found that the zero 125's work great and also the hap's 125,s work good also.

As far as the moon clips go.

I use the S&W moon clips with Federal NIckle brass.. S& W clips are the only ones i can find that dont flop....and I tried them all ..

I found never to use brass that has been shot in an auto.

I did hone out the cylinders a lot especially on the 8 shot 627's. the cylinders are very tough metal. You can get the hones from brownells,and the oil, be sure to get the oil dont use anything other oil..

Just my 2 cents worth here
