I love the diversity in revolvers! The photo below is three cartridges I have loaded for revolvers.
32 S&W long on the left with a tumble lubed Lee TL314-90-SWC. 2.6 grains of Universal Clays gives it about 800fps. Real pleasant to shoot from an old S&W 32 hand ejector with a 4" barrel.
In the middle is a 357 magnum with a RCBS 38-158-SWC. 15.5 grains of IMR-4227 gives almost 1200fps in my 3" Ruger SP101. And what a fireball when you touch it off!
On the right is the largest, most powerful revolver cartridge I have loaded. Its a 454 Casull with a Lyman 452243 245 grain (with my alloy) semi wadcutter. 30 gr of IMR-4227 gives us 1400fps out of a friends 6-1/2" ported barrel Taurus.
You can find a revolver for just about any purpose you want. And if you have a hand canon like my friends Taurus you can easily load down some rounds for easy practice or plinking. I'm definitely a revolver guy!
l am a died in the wool wheelgun guy, having been trained as a young lad by gun club members and neighbors who were FBI Quantico firearms instructors. So I learned Old School 1960s Bureau doctrine. Later I was mentored by a career clandestine services operator who had the firm opinion that the evading downed aviator in Indian Country didn' t want to leave a trail of brass for the enemy to follow. But now retired and getting older and feeble, I bit the bullet and bought a Beretta 92FS, a dozen magazines, mag loader, a spare barrel with locking block, extra spring kit and 5000 rounds of 147- grain ammo. I liked the ballistics which mimmick .38 Special +P, but one mag equals a wheelie and two New York Reloads. Don't need a 9mm carbine, as the 92 fired in rollover prone keeps a full stick in the head and neck of an E silhouette at 100 yards.
Here is the Infamous Bunny Gun with its new 9mm barrel.
