     GUN DETAILS   Firedd in both a S&W mod. 28-2, and a second gen. new mod. blackhawk. The S&W appeared to prefer this load more than the Ruger, though both guns more than adequate accuracy for mid range field loads. 
     OTHER DESCRIPTION  For general field use when top velocities and heavy recoil are not wanted, this load works well.
