S&w Frames?

[Leroy]

I just got into revolvers and i get confussed about the frames. i know J's are the smallest and N,s are the heavy frames. I have a 686 and i thinks that is a L frame.. and i just got a 66 357 is that K Frame?

You are correct. J is smallest. N used to be largest. Now X-frames (.500 S&W magnum) is the largest. 686's are L-frames and 66's are K-frames.

Thaks Spook,

Yes, they're great fun. Tough to shoot in IPSC though. I shot a match in the Czech Republic last week and Saul Kirsch was there (he was number 5 open on the last World Shoot). He summed it up pretty good: "when you shoot revolver in IPSC, everything is virginia count". There's no room for error or misses.

I haved no hints for reloading .38 special. I have two 625's in .45 ACP. I don't reload .38 yet. But I would probably pick a nice average N320 load for .38 special.

Good luck with your .357's

thanks
