I realized I'd need to sell 1/2 dozen of these to even think about being able to afford a Diamondback, but I'll suffer through. "Dear Lord, save me from Your followers"

My police turn in 15 with 148 gr wadcutters has been a great centerfire handgun for new shooters. My wife, daughter, son and friends that had never shot one have all shot it surprisingly well, to them, with 148 gr wadcutters. Last edited by 43Shooter; 08/10/16.

RoninPhx Campfire Ranger R Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 16,000 arizona	i have been somewhat screwing around with two molds, one is the 358156, which cast a 160grain, and a similar keith style bullet in another mold at 170 grains. I can run both fast enough that they go "smack" when they hit something. I have a couple of other wadcutter molds that run from 144 grain up to 160grain. they are just great fun in these 38's. we seem collectively to pander to the word magnum. It doesn't really have to be "magnum" to work for purpose intended. THE BIRTH PLACE OF GERONIMO

Everyone in the house has got a 38 - including the kid. Round here it's bullseye. Getting about 2,200+ rounds off a pound.
