Not in my house. I still have a 4 5/8” Stainless Blackhawk that sees occasional use. I went through the auto craze with 1911s and Glocks. I recently purchased an SP-101 with 4.2” barrel. That is now my farm and woods gun. I liked it so much, I bought a 2.25” barrel version to use as CCW...

A friend bought an American in 308 and I helped him sight it in today. The volt was very tight chambering Winchester 150gr PP factory fodder. I had some Federal Premium 168 match ammo on hand and I wanted to try those to see how well the gun would group. I couldn't get the bolt to close on the...

I have owned a number of Ruger revolvers. I have only had a problem with one. The last one I purchased was a BH 41 Mag. Functionally, it's just like every other Ruger I've owned, it worked fine (I don't like the internal lock, personal preference). It has an under rotated barrel. I had to bend...

It has the "new style" extractor just like your 454. Maybe this is a good sign. To the others talking about reloading. I wouldn't think about this caliber without reloading. I don't want to think about buying factory ammo. I'm screaming about the price of components. I will be ordering a mould...

It has a 6 shot cylinder. 1st shot hit low and I adjusted the scope up. Then, shot the 5 shots. I'm going to do some more testing tomorrow afternoon. Kevin, I hope to have it ready to go for next year's deer season. That is a nice buck. I have some 400 gr CP WFNGC's and always have some H110 on...

I had heard through the grapevine that Ruger might be producing a few 480 Ruger SRH's for a limited production run this year. Well, I found one. A NIB 7 1/2 bbl SRH in the normal bright SS finish with the Hogue grip. I run the serial number and indeed it is a 2011 run and the fired case envelope...

Amen, the first thing I did to my Blackhawk pictured on pg 4 was to order a new set of wood grips. Those cheese grater grips are for the birds.

I bought my first large caliber handgun in 1992 (Ruger SBH SS 7 1/2 bbl). Someone forgot to tell me to start with a smaller caliber. Since then, I have never been without at least one 44 mag. Most of the 44's that I have owned shot their best with full power, heavy bullet loads. A max load of...

Precisely!!! I wanted one and I got one. And all this hoopla about the .41 having less recoil than a .44 needs to try some of my 250 gr WFNGC loads :). And my Ruger Blackhawk is a hoot to shoot with a stout 210 gr load. It will do better than the load in the picture above. That was just my...

Nosler 225gr Accubond, Fed 210M primer, IMR 4064 55 grs. This will get me sub MOA accuracy and avg velocity of 2530 fps. This load also works just as well in my M700 CDL with 225 gr partitions. If you have either Varget or IMR 4064, I would try those powders. Hodgdon's data allows a max weight...

:shock: :D . I want one!!!! That would be a hoot to shoot. J/K.

Yeah, but I think "ya'll" might be a little more forgiving about gun purchases than some of the women that have come and gone in my life. That's the reason they're "gone". I'm looking now for a lady that hunts. It's less trouble to support this habit for 2 rather than begging for forgiveness. I...

That's one of the advantages of being single!! I don't have to ask :D

Bought it at the rod and gun club, eh? My dad was stationed at Zweibrucken in 1960 and bought a Winchester Mdl 12 pump for $69.00 at the rod and gun club at Kaiserslautern and shipped it home. BTW, nice 3 screw SBH.

It was not too bad. It was not as baad as I have seen some 2400 loads. It was not the cleanest load. Lots of powder residue on the frame and in the cylinder. I tried 2400 in my 357 and it left unburned powder particles and residue in copious amounts. Thanks Surveyor. That is precisely what I...
