     GUN DETAILS   
    S&W 631 .32 H&R Magnum with Pachmyer Grips. Great small game "Woods Rambler" revolver. I often carry when shotgunning for birds. It is often possible to get a rabbit sitting (hold the shotgun in the left hand, draw the revolver and drop the bunny). I have often found it useful to carry when hunting grouse. Occasionally a wounded grouse will keep just ahead of the hunter and can be difficult to run down. They often will get into brush too dense to dig out. However, with the handgun, it is easy to get close enough to clip their heads off with a single well placed shot.

    This load also works extremely well in my S&W 16-4 (K model).
