Chiappa Rhino LBR

#1 Post by jack1 »

HI
Has anybody figured out a competitive 38 spl load for the Chiappa Rhino LBR. I want to shoot off hand single handed at 25 mtrs to a PL7 target

Also has there been any discoloration/ marking to the black version

Thanks bangbang

Surely it will be a case of working the load up depending on what consumables you use? or are you looking for recommendations on where to start from scratch?

Back in the real pistol shooting days, the standard 38 special load was 2.8 grn of Bullseye with a 148grn hollow based wadcutter seated flush with the end of the case. I also used a 150grn semi wadcutter a lot with 4.5grn of Unique. It is actually difficult to produce an inaccurate load for a 38sp.

Yes, I saw some reasonable results on a Taurus LBR and that has to be good on a Taurus

There must be a half a dozen Rhino LBRs in my club at the minute! Most, are actually in 9mm flavour! Rumour has it, there's a .40 S&W on the drawing board!

Fred's dead right. .38 spl is very forgiving. Personally, I preferred 6.0gns of HS6 over 2.8 of Bullseye. I like as much case space utilised as possible.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
