Trevor's so good he was cheatin'/pullin' your leg! He was actually aiming at the top of the plate since he knew you thought it would strike low! LOL!

Seriously - incredible shooting out of a snub!

I don't think I have ever shot a full wad cutter bullet. I have a Lee single cavity I might get out and try it. I found it cleaning up the molds area last week. I have no clue where it came from.

Was Red Dot the powder you had on hand, or did you know Red Dot was good with lightweight 38 WC bullets? Are you considering any other powders - I know; It's not broken so don't fix it.
