Just for interest I took some close ups of the EDM (actually I think S&W uses ECM) rifling in my S&W 625-8 JM revolver. I can sure understand now how this rifling can have issues "gripping" a cast bullet or maybe any other bullet. I'm surprised that some people seem to have great results shooting these with cast and some don't.
This is the only handgun I own with EDM rifling. I'd love to see how some of the "laser beam" JM models look. I just wonder if the rifling could have anything to do with it the lack of accuracy exhibited my copy? Maybe I need to try to redo the crown, it doesn't look too impressive either..
My only interest is in being able to shoot cast bullets at moderate velocities accurately with this revolver.
