With a 20" barrel I have found no need for lube cookies under the bullet.

I am shooting up the last of my vintage Black Dawg Cartridge Co 357s and 38 specials. Neither of which are using lube cookies or Big Lube bullets.

When I had a 92 with a 24" barrel those same cartridges ran out of lube at the 21.5" mark. A wet patch between stages was all I needed to keep it going.

Getting closer, Riley is hearing the thunder and told me, he has really taken getting aq real job seriously.

I didn't win the Ruger, it was a swap.

Coffinmaker(onewurd),
I know this is a rather personal question... but, what is your barrel length?

You too Abilene...

Storms are from just northeast of Grand Island, about 90 miles out.   Narrow but nasty band that could grow like the other day.  Stretches down to the panhandle corner. 

Rita should be home from a Dr appointment soon and we'll hunker down, her with the TV and me with the the computer, got the wrong cable yesterday, will exchange it tomorrow and will then have my 3 screens.  Bought two 128 Gig flash drives for $21? Going to do back-ups a bit different.  Actually only lost one thing with the move, the doc I had almost done, about 35 pages. Had not run the edit programs or PDFed it.   No idea, everything else in the documents file came back. 

Going to back up everything worth saving on flash drive, store one at my desk and another in my dresser in the bedroom, in a drawer in a box.  Any doc that gets over 5 pages and has edited pictures will be save when done for the day.  WP program up-dated, new spell check sucks, can not find where you can add words it don't know, need to keep looking.  Among many I use every time I write dutch oven it tells me it wrong.  We learned in like 2nd grade you don't have to capitalize general objects like dog or cat.
