Sharpshooter
just bought a charter arms bulldog in 44 special, 2 in barrel. loaded up a couple with 240 gr berrys plated flat nose and a starting load of 4.9 grs of universal with crimp. shot it into 2x6 and the bullet went in 1/4 in and bounce out. then shot a friends reload, same bullet, but 7 grs of unique and almost penetrated thru the 2x6. Is my load too light? these bullet measure .429 while my lee instructions say they should be .430, could they be too small? I had to pull a test rd apart with a kinetic hammer and it took a couple of hard whacks to do the job. going to up my powder and see what happens.
