Only thing missing in the photo is the number boards and a police lineup would be complete!
Buddy at work has a Ruger 45LC. Modern Ruger's will handel as hot as you can load stuff up to Cassul levels. He runs 255 gr. hardcasts at cowboy action levels and some stoked well past .44 mag speeds running hot. It digests them all quite nicely.

You're right Bear. I think I have that picture. I'll look for it.
When Jim's friends wheel came off it wasn't a total loss. I remember IBD feeding us a bunch of summer sausage and cheese curds. That's the only time I have ever had fresh cheese curds. They were a lot better than the ones I have found around here. Great times. Wing master

Good memory...Hardtack. had only one post here in April 2010. Back then we had everyone join BSB to attend MYGaWs.
That was the trip were a friend of Jim's wheel came off in a remote field....found the lug nuts and put it back on! No gophers att that place, I seem to remember MontanaMadness found that spot. someplace there is a group pic that year in Ft. Bento at "Shep" statue.

Wow. It doesn't seem like it's been that long.
I'm really testing my memory here but the guy with the .45 went by the name of "Hard Tack". I think he was also a member here for a short time. Wing master

If I remember right it was Montana Madness buddy that was shooting gophers with a .45 LC. I never saw a gopher that was hit but I'm sure he had enough gun to kill one if he was able to hit it.

I've had a ruger Blackhawk for about 52 years, great gun. One whitetail with it (357).
I found that I just wanted one load for everything. The semi-wadcutter is accurate and very good of hunting. If 'traditional looks matter, then you want a 255 gr round nose. For fun and allround plinking and rabbits, etc 225 wad cutter would be my choice. lighter recoil and less richochettes (bouncing).

Dont try anything smaller than .452 .452-454 are for the Colt, .451 is for acp. 250-255gr is the standard. I shoot fairly light. Depending on the gun they can run with the .44 magnum. 7.7gr Unique and 6.1 Trailboss are my loads. DD

OK now I have two pistols.
I have had a phoenix arms 22 semi for a Long time. But I just acquired a 45 long colt. I have never even fired one, but it looks cool. Anyway we have some 45 dies to cast bullets I'll try. What would be a good starting style and weight? I'm guessing it will be for plinking but will use it for hunting as needed. Powder? I found some once fired brass and ordered 200 to start with, kinda pricy right now and new is mostly nonexistent.  Anyway I now have another rabbit hole to slide in to. |
