As always, first I measured out the gun. Very tight and extremely well made cylinder. The throats are all .401" which is perfect for cast and jacketed bullets. Barrel gap is .0015" and Starline Brass has .002" gap to the recoil shield.

I won't post load data unless Gary OKs it. I did not build this gun to plink with.

Using 2400 (plenty of it) I pushed the 200 grn GT Hollow Points out the muzzle at a solid 1375 fps. I worked up to this load using the same five cases. They remain in excellent shape. Fired cases fall from the chambers with no effort. The tight chambers nearly eliminate the need for resizing.

I didn't experience a hint of leading with the none gaschecked bullets.

Loaded rounds drop into the cylinder with no problem. Accuracy averaged 1-1.25" and I believe that's about my best.

I have Linebaugh's Data to push the 200s up to 1600 fps. But, probably won't ever load it that hot. This moves another old warhorse into the very useful category.
