So, I'm back on this thread after a long hard day at the salt mine. I'm happy and grateful to read all the above advice. Now, more questions.
Even though a full case of bp or Pyro packs more punch than a light load of smokeless, do ya think that it creates as much pressure as the smokeless; even a light charge? I guess I've always had the impression that smokeless creates some magical pressure spike that bp just doesn't do. Am I right, or--all wet.
My revolver is a S&W, double action, 4" bbl, 38 SW, top break. The last patent date on the barrel rib is 1889. Serial no. 595xxx on butt and cylinder.
I believe It's called the Double Action Third Model. Any info would be appreciated. If the nickel finish was in better shape, I wouldn't shoot it. Mechanically it's great, and the bore is perfect. It groups five shots in three inches or a tad less at 25 yards, and I want to have fun with it. I just don't want to ruin it.
