Not my best shooting today. I hate to blame the N frame but I definitely don't think I would have dropped the same misses with a k frame. At least I felt all my reloads were solid.

Honestly, looks good man. You were out moving and shooting today. I was mowing my lawn……

I've seen people reload semi-auto's much, much slower.

Looks good man! What speed loaders are you using?

What load did you shoot?
Nice shooting! |

Ok, that's pretty cool.
The brass is cheaper than I expected, but the guy picking up your empties gets an atta boy - just because. The revolver I'm assuming it's chambered in 45LC? Or is it actually chambered in 45 Win Mag? Had to look up the Win Mag loads, it looks impressive at the top end. Loading down to .45acp levels is a bonus. Am also curious if it's chamfered, my 22-4 isn't, my 325TR is, and the difference is night and day on reloads. One requires a level of precision and a dash of luck, the other requires getting the bullets in the same zip code for success. What's the reloading setup, if you don't mind sharing? Always like to see what I can learn from what others are doing. |

You ran that thing good man.
I snagged my first moon clip revolver and gotta get practicing on the reloads. I wanna try IDPA next year for the first time. |

Nice reloads
Moon clips are awesome, and I really appreciate them in the unload half of the cycle could you use 45acp brass depending on load? I didn't see any issue, but shorter brass might clear the cylinder more reliably |

I just had another kid, so I only shot my second ICORE match of the year last weekend. I felt like I did terrible (among other things, incorrectly counting to 6 three times, lol). In the end, I placed in the top third, and mid level in my division (limited 6, with a moon clipped model 29.) Not bad for not practicing for six months.

That was awesome video you got out to shoot the match, and had your own cheering section too!

Wonder if that will be similar in 38Super vs 9mm been leaning towards 9mm for the 686 but maybe super would be better. |

You need need to rechamer them. 9mm/super are a tiny bit bigger. And I think .357 is high pressure enough that it should seal the chamber ok |
