I bought my Bulldog in 1976. Fired one box of 246 grain lead roundnose factory ammo to generate some brass, then started reloading because it was so much cheaper back then. In short order I split the cylinder down the side of the chamber shooting 8.5 grains of Unique under a 180 grain JHP. This was early in my reloading experience. Sent it back to Charter and they sent it back with a new cylinder plus a new pair of rubber grips to replace the original wood stocks.
