Hey Snubbie, I really like the Bulldog for it's versatility, no need to worry about bullet shape or profile, having enough oomph to cycle the slide, ect. ect. I carry different loads depending on what the day's mission is.....
The round to the left is a Blazer 200gr Gold Dot that I use when carrying concealed, it's good for around 800fps according to my Chrony Alpha. The one next to it is what I call my "Thumper Load", 240gr SWC with a bunch of Unique behind it, good for 980fps and a sore hand if you shoot it much. I'm sure it would take a whitetail if I did my part......The next one is a 200gr flat point that I load up to shoot the same POI as the more expensive Gold Dots. I like to practice with a load similar to what I carry.
The next round is a fun one, it's a shotshell that has about 150grs of #9 shot with a little Unique behind it, does a good number on all the Idaho Rattler's I seem to find when camping. Now the most fun round of all has to be the last one. I use the Blazer aluminum cases to make an indoor practice round of paraffin and primers. I drill out the primer flash hole to keep the primer from setting back. I use a bread pan that I stole from the wifey to melt the paraffin in. Set the cases in the wax with the primer up so it fills the case about 3/4 of the way and let cool (maybe I should be posting this in the recipe section?

) Prime the cases after you break them from the wax and you have a round that is perfect for practicing presentation from holsters, point shooting, taking care of the neighboors cat (in a nonlethal manner).
Speaking of holsters, I use a Gould and Goodrich pancake made for a j-framed Smith. I had to adjust the length of the thumb break, but a t-shirt will cover this combo......
I think that just about covers it, my fingers are getting tired...
Regards,
Mike
