Time for one of my whacky ideas
I am just about ready to pick up one of the current crop of Single Action Army clones being churned out in 9mm. The marketing rationale behind such an odd chambering in a replica revolver is that 9emem is cheap, comparatively speaking, to just about any other centerfire cartridge.
My thought is to slightly diddle the chambers and create a modem revolver for a fun little round, the .38 S&W. I have tons of brass, and three dedicated molds, plus the ability to “beagle” ten other .38/.357 molds.
Why? In this day and age of expensive reloading components, there is no good reason, so I will run with “because”.
