reloading for Brazilian contract model1917 revolver

I bought this one 10 years ago for a song:



It’s been parkerized at some point in its past and somebody filed the front sight down a skosh.

When I bought it it was wearing a set of hogue rubber grips but swapped those out for a set of late model magna grips.

It’ll shoot .452 diameter 200 grain SWC’s just about to the POA with 4.3 grains of HP 38.

Edited to add:

A .451 FMJ bullet is a snug fit in all the throats on my Brazilian.
