If you want some HOT loads for .38 special, look no further than the Speer #8 manual.

Thanks for the replies. I intend to shoot these only from the M27. I might try the W-296 later, but for now I have a LOT of 2400 to use up.

Does anyone have any loads for this combination in 357 magnum. I am looking to get 1300 fps. from a 4" barrel S&W Model 27.

+1 on the 3.4 gr. Unique load. Very pleasant shooting round and my S&W M15 will chew a one ragged hole group with them.

Lee Classic Loader I started out with the little classic loader in 38 special. They are a good tool to teach the basics of reloading, but are very slow to use. I would recommend it as a good starting point, and an investment in several reloading manuals. The only complaint that I have about...

Springfield Armory milspec 1911 45 ACP on my hip and a Charter Arms Bulldog Pug 44 special in my pocket. Remington 870 12 gauge in a closet about 12 feet away.

Some people have reported having Charter Arms revolvers that shoot loose , I have not found this to be true in my experience. I have a Bulldog Pug that has slightly more than 2k rounds through it now, with no resulting problems. Quite a few of these rounds have been quite heavy handloads.

I too own a Charter Arms Bulldog Pug in 44 special. I have owned it for about 3 years now. I have shot around 2k rounds through it ranging from soft cowboy action factory loads to really warm handloads. I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever out of it. It is my primary carry gun every...
