Very Nice,
Flagstaff is only about 200 miles away and it has been a couple of years since I have been in Mr. Reeders shop. I feel a road trip coming on. ;D

Nice, Axe.
That Nimrod is a thing of beauty.

Nice color, Stan. It looks like the FA grips are fitted in the conventional SA manner, without the typical FA frame overhang the factory uses at the top of the grip.

In the pics the fit looks like every other Reeder revolver that lives at my house.  I'll post a better set of pics when they get home.. Need to get to the range with the 353. It will return to the FA Silhouette sight configuration when it arrives. Got FA to send me a new sight hood while the grips were fitted. Might even shoot some Hunter's Pistol with it... Now I've got to get to the Star Sizer with the .510 size die that 2 Dawgs sent me for the Nimrod.. Need to order a good bullet mold for the 353 too. Since I don't load JTs 353 loads I'm thinking a plain base 180 grain bullet will be fine at standard 180 grain 357 velocities. Of course the GC bullets seem to have provided better performance in current literature. Maybe I'll shoot the CP 180 GCs I've got on the shelf before I decide. |

I like 180 XTP's and 180 CPBC GC's in my 9" 353, although you certainly don't need 180's for Hunters Pistol. I always used 158's when I used .357's for that game, and you certainly don't need that much power, either.
Both Charlie Davis and Eric Usher won National Hunters Pistol Championships in the early 80's using T/C .22 Magnums.
FWIW, I do use 158's rather than 180's in my shorter barrel FA 83 .357's.

Thanks Ken... Hoped you'd chime in with some recommendations. Looking at Magma Engineering molds.

Axe, those are two very nice revolvers. I really like the nimrod. If you ever get tired of it please keep me in mind.
