Hobie, the .38 S&W cartridge can be loaded using 9mm dies and a .38 Special shell holder. Did it for years before I found some proper dies. 158 grain cast SWC over 3.2 grains of Unique shoots great in my Enfield, but I did have to shave just a bit off the front sight to correct elevation. It's a warm load but the Enfield seems to have no trouble with it.

loading another cartridge, particularly an odd one, when I know I'll want a .30 cal ammo can full of ammo before I'm satisfied with my supply...

Yeah, I found the calibre selection curious. (reply)

And, the price point ridiculous. Hornady had a run a while back on the .455 Mk II so they have the tooling/capability (or did they outsource it?). There isn't much reason they couldn't resurrect it historically accurate.

And, because others did it, here's my Enfield "Tanker"

That's classy. (reply)

The martial British revolvers are just spicy.

That is really nice. I have a MK IV .380/200 (reply)

I have loaded quite a bit of the correct ammunition for the gun but it shoots very close to the sights with the standard U.S. loading.

I did write about this one... http://shootingwithhobie.blogspot.com/search/label/Webley

I might be a silly bugger but I'd like to see an RIC, in (reply)

.45 AR or .44 Russian. It is this image that has stuck in my mind, fictional context being completely unimportant.

Here is mine (reply)

Had it for a few years. Actually its an Enfield Mk VI. Some of that 1944 ammo is unopened. In addition this revolver is "unshaved" for those of you who are familiar with the term.

Yep. (reply)

solution to GBs orc problem...

A .45 AR, .44 Special (or Russian), .45 ACP, etc, more (reply)

appropriate for the American customer AND for the gun. I've got to say, that while the .38 Special gets a fair share of business (but less than some semi-auto pistol rounds), the .357 Mag seems moribund in ammo sales, relatively speaking. SMALL revolvers are a big thing but for the general pubic it seems that K and L frame size guns are NOT a big interest. Too big to carry, too heavy, and on and on. It seems to me that most of my customers are small pistol (9mm, .380 ACP, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, in that order) or SMALL revolver. And they choose a revolver most often because they can't physically operate the pistol (due to limits on physical strength, arthritis, or some other concern).

Photos weren't detailed but... (reply)

it looks nice. Odd that it's a 7 shot 357 now. I can get that anywhere. They should have stayed original.

I'll take 3 (reply)
