It really is a wild gun. So many technological advancements for a gun that has been around since before WW2. I can see why you like it so much.

That said, I spent about an hour after the outdoor show last night cleaning my 10/22, and adding some mods to my Charger pistol. I am finding that just like cars, I prefer to tinker with my guns over anything else. Sure, I love to shoot. But there is something to be said about taking a POS (like a t97) and making it into a reliable, fun gun to shoot.

If only I could reload with that much confidence.

I'm using Hodgdon Titegroups powder, and in my 38spl it says to use .27-.32 grains.
Problem is, my Lee autodisc goes as low as .30

So, I'm stuck starting out using a minimum of .30 for my reloads. I'm a little nervous because there isn't much room for adjustment using the titegroups. Should I go ahead and load them that close to max for my first reloads?

I'm using the roands in my S&W 357 revolver.
