.38-44 Heavy Duty

I finally got my hands on a gun that killed two birds with one stone. 1931 S&W Heavy Duty .38-44. The gun was customized after WWII and after much digging It looks like it was sent to Micro Sight for the work. Sometime since 1960 it had a set of plain target grips added. It has been re-blued at some point in time. It locks up tight and has virtually no end shake, I loaded up some 170 grain Keith bullets with a mid-level 38-44 load. After sighting in I was blown away. After shooting paper I set up some empty 12 gauge hulls for targets. Backed up to 25 yards and shot 2 of them. I laid one down with the primer toward me. Pow! We haven't found it yet. I am going to load up some cast hollow points with 2400 next. I can't wait to hunt with it.

That 170gr Keith bullet on top of 4227 shoots really well in my 357 Blackhawk. 38-44 load from JT.
