Re: .32 caliber j frame
I bought this one for my wife for I think our first anniversary in 2003. https://i.postimg.cc/xd8mM2PW/IMG-20240127-183939562.jpg I'm pretty sure I paid $290 for it, and my wife was horrified that I spent so much money.

I’m defending three cases that involve Operation Lone Star. The left is doing everything they can to shut it down.
I don’t know if he would do any good in DC until we get the swamp drained.

And my favorite is a short .45. The aluminum grip frame makes these feel better in my hand than any other sixgun.

I know that this is a ridiculous exercise since I load thousands of rounds of .38/.357 on my Dillon 550 every year. But this is not meant to be practical. I actually want to load by a campfire.

I took it out this morning and was hitting 8 inch plates at 50 yards.
Nothing at all wrong with this one but it needed a slightly taller front blade. I happen to keep a small bag of FA front sights in the glove box.

There are so many variables to take into consideration.
If I’m having a leading problem I often try a faster powder. I suppose it bumps the bullet differently but I don’t know.

Re: Can you diagnose the problem with this revolver?
It appears that the barrel is screwed in correctly and the front sight appears to be at top dead center.
Cylinder gap is very tight as is expected on a FA and there’s no sign that the barrel is moving.
