I tried to take a picture of the inside of the barrel with cellphone but didn't come out as to you could tell much.
Having said that:
yesterday ran 12rounds of cast 160grain gas checked bullets with 13grains of 2400, not the top but close. Alloy was wheelweights with lead free solder. Shot in a four inch model 28.
Using brass primed probably in the 60's but never until now completed.
Looking inside the barrel you couldn't hardly tell it was fired.
As to the bullet, i was shooting at about 20 yards some smoothed river rock, and that bullet was cracking the stone. It really went thunk.
Wasn't on paper but it was flying true too. To me it really looks like powdercoating is the way to go.
I am going to make up pretty quick some 170grain .358 bullets without gas checks. Have a feeling it's an ideal load for a 357.
