.38S&W goodness, courtesy of Buffalo Bore!

Those are the original grips, with a "shouldn't be there" short butt frame. I have a set of zebrawood grips from Jay Scott that are meant for a long frame square butt J that are going to be cut down to fit, so as to save wear and tear on the originals. Oddly enough, I find that I have less of a need for a Tyler T when running a short butt, but I'm not entirely sure why.

As for the beans, I am completely comfortable with the Buffalo Bore stuff out of it. No noticeable issues whatsoever and it is supposed to be standard pressure. I highly doubt I would shoot it in my '48 though, I see no need to stress a classic that way.

I've plenty of brass, and intend to build some loads similar to yours. I do want to try working with the British MKI flat nosed 200 grain slugs. It would be nice to do something a bit quicker than the Brits employed, but I see no need to totally reinvent the wheel
