i know this is an old thread, but chit, it cracks me up when that issue comes up. those of us who shoot vaquero pistols often know there isnt an actual designation as old model, but hell, even when you call ruger for parts or info on the vaquero, their own service techs ask you "do you have the...

hooked him up with a rock chucker press today. i had two, and got a brand spankin new pro 2000 auto index today.

im sure the infos on there. if you dont use loddata.com, i highly recommend a subscription. $29.00 a year for access to all the load data you could ever want. you can print it all out too, and they will send you a load data binder with subscription for the cost of shipping it ( a couple bucks i...

oh, believe me, i know that.......also ive already printed hogdons info out for him. im also a member of loaddata.com if you havent heard of it, check it out. for $29 bucks a year you get access to about every bit of reloading nfo and loads ever published. they have all the manuals all up to...

ive got a friend of mine who just got into reloading, and has a 357 5 1/2" blued vaquero ( not the new vaquero)....hes looking for a real accurate 357 load. i reload for alot of stuff, including 357 but i havent loaded 357 in quite some time and cant find my data right now....he has the...

shoot, reloading is my 3 favorite hobbies.......shooting,reloading and......well, you get the idea.....thing is, i saw this comming QUITE some time back, soon as his candidacy was anounced i stocked up on enough powder,primers brass , bullets,ect to last me probably the next 20 years or...

flatgate yes, i agree with you on the "new model" and "old model" wording. problem is, like i mentioned before, us old dogs know right away if someone says either "vaquero" or "new vaquero" exactly what they are talking about, BUT on that same note ,alot of guys out there arent as passionate...

i was going to post this picture before and i got sidetracked. this is what my old model 4 5/8" 45 colt looks like after i customized it you cant really tell much from the picture, but it is super high polished, almost like high polished chrome customized hammer, custom pin,freespin pawl...

QB..... actually bro, i called ruger this morning on a set of grips, and spoke to a customer service lady who said that only a few of the 44s are being made, and they have discontinued production on the convertible single six hunter for now, maybe perm....now, i dont know that for the gospel...

one more thing. they (ruger) did mention NOT to shoot buffalo bores 300gr'ers. they said the pressures from that round are WAY EXTREME, and WILL damage new model guns. i think buffalo bore does make several loads now specifically designed for the new model 45 colt vaquero

"Old Model" = original Blackhawk, w/ three screws thru the frame, marked on frame "Blackhawk" ("Old Model" being common usage to describe the "original" BH series--it's not stamped anywhere. Sometimes also commonly referred to as "3 screw") Came from the factory w/o transfer bar mechanism; may...

pretty in depth discussion. one thing i might add to it though, even though many do not recommend it, i to have fired what would be considered "+P" and what most might consider to be "+P+" in my new model vaquero 45 colt in 5.5". the potential "+P" loads were fired by accident, and then after...

ouch, i was interested until i heard it was a bisley. dont care for them myself

H322 is the BEST powder ive found in 35 years of handloading for both the new and old model mini 14. i dont know how the admin feels around here about posting exact load data, but try looking to either the hornady 52gr match or the hornady 55gr ballistic tips and H322. i also have superb luck...

took my SSH out last night with my son, and man, does the magnum drive tacks now. winchester black box . i setup a bunch of cans at about 75 yards and was popping them 5 out of 6 shots with the simmons 4x scope. for chits and grins, i took one of my sons regular 22 shells, slid it in the mag...
