Got out side today, 1st time at a nice outdoor range about 20 min.away. tried out my reloads in about all cals. VERY impressive 357 mags w/15.5g H110 & 158g XTP. And Henry 44 made my shoulder sore w/H110 !!! More than Mike's 30-06. But all was good in reloads 445s were a boomin' All shot at 140yds. 1st shot w/15-2 8" I hit gong and not so much after lol2Did good w/Henry also. Gong !!

Here's a pic of the range from target & bench and a vid of Mike's 30-06 and my 7445 VH6 range-time20160903_111526.jpgImage Enlarger

I cannot wait to try out my Model 40's and it looks like I am going to be in the market for a 445 too.

Getting the vid thing mastered w/help from my nephew, sent it to him and got this back. Also talked to

PSMFG2 the other day and he's been busy at work, but we'll get together inside w/2 445s next time.

Still not bad for outside pic. !!lol2boom.jpgImage Enlarger

I just took my two new Model 40 to the range and shoot them I would say it was fun but kept having trouble getting cylinder to index with my Reeds Ammo.  Anyone ever had that issue?  I only got to fire about 18 rounds through them and quit.  I brought my Wesson 357 along and ran about 75 rounds through that.

Are you saying it's all good w/no ammo, and loaded it binds ??? If so, make sure ammo goes in cyl all the way and make sure primers aren't sticking out. Maybe cyl needs a good scrubbing.goodluck My 40 worked fine w/Jamison new and reloaded Jamison brass from Midway. Some brass was new J. also. 180g Cannon balls !! laughing

I got to shoot a few as I mentioned, when gun was received by me that is the first thing I did clean everything.  When I go next time will make sure ammo seats properly as a check.  It did the same thing in both Model 40's so it was most likely me.  At least I shot them people looked over to see what it was.  Then had fun with my pistol pack just put on a no drill B Square scope mount and a Simmons scope.  Also brought my Mini 14 GB folder and shot a hundred or so rounds, it is a fun gun to shoot.
