Are there any newer models that are worth a damn? All of the newer models I have handled are not anywhere in the same league as the ones my Grandfather handed down.
My 627pc is (IMO) the best revolver currently available.
You poor thing! Seriously, that thing is NICE!!!
Very nice!
When I was still hand loading I used a moderate charge of W231 under a 158gr lead semiwadcutter w/gas check in a 357 case to avoid the carbon ring buildup in front of a 38 case.
A little hotter than a 38+p but still mild compared to full house magnum.

My field round for K-frame is 5 grains of Unique with a 158 grain Keith-style semi-wadcutter. 231 or Bullseye with cast bullets is great for target shooting. I have used 125 grains loaded pretty hot (H110 or 2400) for my home defense load, but haven't fired very many.
Gotta love the K-frame S&W revolvers - my current field revolver is a pre-war Hand-Ejector in .32-20 with a 5" barrel. I have another .32-20 from about 1904 with a round butt & 5" barrel, but I don't use it much. I guess I should.

Thanks for the compliments and info. I really need to start reloading one of these days. Are components getting easier to find?
No kidding! A few months ago I had no revolvers and now I have three. Really wanting a .22 wheel gun, and that K-22 suggested by dennishoddy looks nice. Probably pricey too, though.
Roger that on the addictive part. I also would like a K-22. I have a no dash 6" TTT RR Model 14 made in 59. It is one sweet shooting SOB. Cant imagine a pre designation 22. Would be awesome.
I almost hate to ask, but how did I do deal-wise? I swapped a guy my Sig P-239 in really good condition and some extra mags for it
