Handloader Magazine Milsurp Vids- Series 1917 Revolvers

I have a S&W 1937 Brazil contract, it's all WWI 1917 parts and design, shoots quite well but prefers jacket/plated over lead due to the shallow rifling. I have a bunch of moon clips but also got some 45 Auto Rim brass that I need to load up for it. Moon clips are fast but not much fun mooning/demooning them so the Auto Rim brass will be a nice change.
They are a pretty big revolver, I load 200/230's with Clays, burns nice and clean and soft shooting.

Those big frame revolvers are very cool. When I was a kid on the farm we has a Colt New Service in .44-40. Used to cast bullets and load black powder with it starting at age 12. I used to shoot bush rabbits with it, and the streak of flame was very impressive, especially early in the morning before the sun was fully up.
