Veral,
If these questions seem familiar, I asked them in part by snail mail back awhile.
1) I have a #1 Ruger in 7.62x39 that I load the same as my 32 mags. I would like to use it at full speed for deer and thought that the 140 gr fn in 32 cal would be the obvious choice. What I want to know is will this bullet or perhaps the 125 gr. serve double duty as a heavy load in my 32 mag revolvers. Would a bullet of these wt.s have any practical use against varmints that were up to no good, including two-leggers. And I assume that gas checks would be needed at the rifle velocities, so what happens when a gc bullet is shot without one at the lower velocities?
2)Since most of my shooting is target/plinking/small game what are the pros and cons of the sfn vs. the ogw? And would high volume shooting make a gc a good idea on target loads. They are not hot but they are alot. I would rather avoid the gc with volume loading and shooting but I'll do what I need to.
3) I have 4 handguns and the Ruger#1 with. 311 bores and 312 throats and 2 handguns with 312/313 (after using your inst. on opening under sized cyl. throats, big change in how they group). Would it make sense to have all made to fit the biggest throat and size down to use in the other guns? I don't want to be cheap, but if I don't blow the budget on 32 molds, I can think about my 41 cals too.
4) Would the 200 gr 41 ogw serve as target/plink/self defence bullet? I have a #1 in 405 and thought a gc in 412 at 250 gr. would work for deer black bear/cow elk while doubling for heavy 41 mag loads. Finally, I have a new Marlin in 41 mag and I wonder how a ogw would feed and which profile in the250 would feed best? Thanks for this site and all the work you do and share with us. Hope to show my appreciation with an order asap.
Sincerely, sawebbshooter
