I'll look at that
The wadcutters are super accurate, and they smack the crap out of jackrabbits
I have a very cool old Ideal (might be Cramer) hollowpoint mould that throws a very accurate and perfectly nasty bullet
I haven't ever tried it on anything the size of deer, but it might be ok on the small coastal blacktail
I use my 14- around here on all sorts of targets of opportunity

I've had two of those great revolvers, one a six inch and the other an eight and three-eighths inch barrel. Impressively accurate and just plain fun to shoot. So naturally, I sold them both for something "better." Live and learn...the hard way.

One of my treasures: a Pre 14, 5 screw, Mid 50s Target Masterpiece 38. It's truly a masterpiece! The gun shoots much better than I do:  |

The 220gr Lyman bullet discussed in the article is interesting too with it’s double lube grooves. Accurate makes a clone in both GC and non versions. After all the dust settles around the .327 the .38 special may actually be the perfect companion for most things…. I’m learning…slowly… |

This one is also a 14-3  I'm still working on a supply of cartridges that were loaded by my Uncle Steve years ago  I also have some bullets which were cast from this mould, which hasn't seen hot metal in decades  This is some Memory Lane business here Thanks for asking about it |
