I though I would start off by sharing a picture of my newest Colt, a hardchromed Special Combat Government chambered in Super .38.
I just got my Lyman molds (120gr truncated cone). They drop at 125gr from water quenched wheel weights and sized to .355 (bore slugged to .3535). Review coming.

| Bea, many years ago I had a Colt Gov. in .38 Super. Sold it or traded it, don't remember. I was a 70's series if I remember correctly. It was nice. Probably be worth a little now. Wish I still had it. Nice weapon you have !
