Well I like to oil them mostly. Craig

Boy this is off post but I had to put somewhere!! I shot the 41AE today mostly the Sampson factory rounds like 210g FMJ and it was real fun. My reloads were just a tad light and I think I will move closer to factory if I can. Looking at what data I have I think I will try 7.5g PP with a 170g bullet see what that feel like.  Craig

Well I decided to load some of the lehigh 41cal bullets I had found but just now looking around the storage area I found like 40 41AE already loaded with that bullet. Oh well!!!  Craig

Back to reality for a moment!! I had to send the Rock Island 38sp back to the factory as it was jamming mid chocking. Should be getting it back any day now.  Craig

Hope they get that fixed up for you Craig!

I hope so too as it was fun to shoot and reload for.  Craig

The range called today and the m200 38sp is back all fixed. I will test tomorrow. Craig

The m200 shot very well but I could work on the reloads as they seem very light!!! Even the data seems light. I will use 38+p data as the load I just did called for 6.2g Power Pistol and I load this all the time in 9mm for 115 or 124g. the 6,2 is max for 158g so I loaded 6.0, We will see tomorrow. The m200 is all fixed and it functioned super!!  Craig

The 158g shoots very well and not light like the wad cutters.  Craig
