LSWC. Reloader 28 on this forum shoots some pretty stiff loads with 4227. Hasbeen hasbeen (Better a has been than a never was!)

Regards, The General I have had a 1972 S&W 25-2 since 2002. I have not taken it to the range yet. But I have a lot of handguns that shoot that well. To shoot that well for me, they must have a scope and be in a rest. What does impress me is that you did that with open sights. I am 64. My eyes are focused at 3 feet and my hands shake.

Some of them are fine but they have a tendency to be all over the map with some running unusually large. If they are way oversize there isn't much that can be done short of a new cylinder or just shooting jacketed bullets. The throats on 25-2's run a pretty consistent .454". The P&R'd 25-5 45 Colt's are the problem pieces. I had one with .457" throats and bought bullets from Beartooth sized at .456" so all worked fine. I have since fitted a .4525" cylinder to match my other 45 Colt's so one size bullet fits all. Conduct is the best proof of character.
