H110/296 will give you all the speed you will ever need in a Ruger Blackhawk 45 Colt. Go to http://hodgdonreloading.com for lots of data such as: Warning: the first load is absolutely brutal in a Blackhawk.

SA's will work for self defense if you are proficient but still not the best choice. Statistics have shown that 6 rounds will work most of the time. Just like not wearing a seat belt will work most of the time. But what if you're unlucky? This is your life we're talking about. I would not...

I have reloaded very similar rounds and recoil is brutal from a Blackhawk. Remember Blackhawk 45's have alloy grip frames and are light guns.

I glue a small piece of rubber or felt to the back of the trigger guard. Works identical to wearing a thick glove. For me I shoot a Ruger XR3 or SBH grip framed revolver best with my hand pushed as high up as possible under the grip frame. But that is also the most painful way to shoot heavy...

Here is the other side. Very similar.

Yes it's stainless. From a website so I don't have any better pictures. Other side looks the same. So is the black line the brazing material?

Looking at this stainless vaquero, in really good shape except for where the front sight attaches to the barrel. Looks like a bad weld or reweld? Other side is similar. Anyone else seen anything like this?

** Was on Gunbroker for $2,000 so I'll pass the commission on to the buyer on this forum *** Semi-custom stainless Ruger No. 1 in 416 Rigby. These are very difficult to find, especially in stainless steel. This rifle is in excellent condition as you can see from the photos. It has been...

Regan Nonneman (www.leveractions.com) works on them. Also Gary reeder (www.reedercustomguns.com).

Thanks. Hard to see with the scope mounted. When I flip up the sight I see a small screw in front of the sight, is that it?

I need to remove the rear sight from my No.1 to make space for a scope. I'm assuming I can just drive it out with a brass or nylon punch. Does it matter from which side I hit it? Thanks!

Looking for lower rings for my Mini, came across alloy rings by AIM. 30mm size w/ inserts, they are very inexpensive ($16 each discounted) and look decent. See http://1.op.ht/978-550-ffffff/opplanet-aimsports-ruger-ring-30mm-1in-insert-low-qr01.jpg I like the alloy because I find it tends...

I'm thinking about one of these, they are still available however there are none I could find locally to examine. As far as I can tell the only difference between these and the standard 416/458 tropicals are: 1 - Matte finish. 2 - Thinner barrel. (Same contour as the 450-400 ?) Anything...
