Thanks, this is all good stuff, I just never had more than one gun of the same type, with the same barrels, to chrono loads in, but it makes sense. I am having fun with it, don't know why I waited so long to get into the single action .45 Colts.

Thanks guys. I am going to shoot some more Universal but I think might as well go back to Unique also. I was trying Universal because it is supposed to meter better than Unique, but frankly I didn't see much of a difference and I would need to trickle the loads anyway, I get a little bit...

Thanks, that's interesting, I did not expect the velocities to be identical but also did not expect 50 fps difference either. I guess I have never had occasion to chrono two guns side by side like that. Always something to learn.

Beautiful grips and case coloring. Really nice gun.

I loaded up a batch of .45 Colt loads, I am looking for just about 900 fps with Oregon Trail 250-gr LRNFPs. The load I was trying today is 8.0 gr of Universal, which according to John Taffin and several other sources is supposed to be about the same as the old full power BP loads. The cases...

Yes, well I lucked into a very nice blue Blackhawk just last week, but otherwise I am seeing the same things you are and worse. I bought the Blackhawk because it said Used, moderate wear, I was planning to just throw on a stainless Bisley grip frame and not worry about it, but the gun came in...

Do Bisley Blackhawks command a premium on the used market? I have been looking around for one, and all the ones I see are priced quite a bit higher than the regular Blackhawks and Vaqueros I have bought recently.

I am reading the volume on Ruger SAs. Not only great gunsmithing, but I love his little commentaries on common sense and idiots and personal accountability! Great stuff!

Thank you, sending pm.

Looking for a take-off Bisley grip frame for my New Vaquero, if anyone has one sitting around, a long shot I know, but thought I would ask.

Will take it if still available.
