But, he definitely revived the idea and has done more to exploit them on our behalf for the last 40 years.

So, with that in mind, I've decided I have to try a Reeder in the first bottleneck rounds. Mainly the 44-40 and 38-40, of course.

Seems right to try these old classics in modern, tight chambered guns. Like the 44 Special and 45 Colt, they are far more capable than original (or paper) ballistics would have us believe.

I probably won't be able to post loading data, but will post results as I progress.

Have discussed with Gary and hope to start soon.
