The 16.5 and 22 inch Maxi Handis
« on: April 24, 2010, 02:56:05 AM »
I want to chrony the two barrels with factory ammo to see what I'm loosing in the shorty.  I'm going to do it with .38s, .357s and the Maxis and compare the two.

I guess the next step is going to be experimenting to see if I need to reload differently for the two barrels.  Any suggestions here would be welcome.  I'm thinking I'll try the shorty's loads in my 6.5 inch Blackhawk.

pete,
not much difference in my #1 ruger max 17" tropical custom shop  vs  my grandson's handi 22" max
in speed. not enough difference to try and develop further.
as far as accuracy... two different worlds !!! when it comes to loads.
when they get what they like, there about the same.
or should i have said... $1200  vs  $250    ;D

I'd like to get "a round tuit" early in the week.  It's busy here on the farm with an early Spring, and I'm now punching brass before dawn and after dark.  I've got twenty years of the stuff backed up on me.  I deprimed about 500 .38s today.

A wise man once told me that 'nobody ever gets everything done before they die', so make sure you have some fun every day.
