Short barrel vs Long barrel
OK, I'm getting in deep, deeper than I thought WRT this stuff. I figured that I'd go out,
buy some brass, bullets, powder, primers, get myself a press and I would be good to go.
BUT NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
It's no wonder you reloading guys are all OCD. A darker pit I have yet to run across. So
I want to get some lead and I think I'm OK with this now but I just talked to a custom
bullet maker and he threw me a curve that Big Papi couldn't hit. I knew that barrel length
was part of the reloading equation but this guy goes on to tell me about creating loads
for short barreled guns and using lighter bullets to attain velocity yet mild recoil out of
these guns. He is talking +P performance from a snubby .32 H&R Mag and he says that
the recoil is pretty mild. He also said shooting the commercial JHP loads is getting you
less than .380 performance out of a snubby .32 H&R.
Where, oh where, do I get some info on this tangent.
