great .454 Casull explosive stills back when you didn't have all this digital jazz. I still don't know how he pulled it off.

his inspiration. That would scare me.

I published stories about experiments I did some years ago ... before I thought better of it. Of course I once thought that people who handloaded also experimented.

I foolishly placed hard wood grips on mine. It stings bad. I tried various loads, even 200 gr. duplicates of military .38 S&W/200 at 550-600 fps. Really rough, I think it is more of a longer duration of the recoil impulse perhaps. With no weight of the chassis (12 oz.) the recoil speed is lots faster than a 24 oz. std. model. I'm now back to old standard 158 gr. JHP are usually a waste with minimal expansion, except in adds and magazine articles, minimal. I have some AA#7 and 1680 I might try but the fps is limited within a physics bracket no matter.

Shooting the S&W 340

Quite the difference in muzzle flashes.

Difference in recoil also ...

Love that Ring-o-fire!!

Even if you miss you’ll blind the bad guy, neat pictures.

Even the Pic blinded me!

Nice! Also doubles as a Flare Gun, Hot-Dog Roaster, etc.

Nice Jim. Looks like a Waterboy video.

LOL you see my inspiration. He did some

Jim, now we know who to blame for WB as you were

It may be partially true

I have that same gun, with a visable hammer, in .38 Spec.
