Bought a S/W combat masterpiece the other day, came with a bunch of handloaded ammo. Ain't much on shooting someone elses' loads but curious about some of it. Supposed to be the old boy's light loads, labeled as 158gr RN cast with 5.0gr WSF powder. Got no info on that one. Assuming to errors in loading, sounds OK? Some of the other ammo is labeled as "Hot-Defence or Hot-Hunting" and are loaded with jacketed hollow points, no info on powder charge. I'll pull those as I have no use for hollow points anyway. Interesting story behind this one. The old boy-deceased- used to be the firearms instructor for N.O.P.D. and was into competition shooting. The pistol was made back in '80, had the timing worked on by Jerry Miculek, has the cocobolo grips, a 6" barrel, and there ain't a mark on the gun. I understand from the son that the old man hadn't put over 100 rounds thru it. Don't "need" it but wasn't about to let that one get away.
