Coming up in rotation is this old (1974) Blackhawk in .357. I have posted on some forums about this gun. It was a train wreck when I got it.
I had to totally rebuild it but it turned out to be an awesome shooter. The Buehler mount was on the gun when I got it and made about the same time as...
I have drug one of my old rigs out of its hiding place in one of the safes and brought it back into the mix. I know some of you have seen the posts about putting the new mount on it along with a new FXII-4 Leupold. This gun killed more deer than I can remmember. When they opend 3 does a day in...
First time in the woods for the .44 4.2 Redhawk. First off this thing shoots and is easy to shoot. Second, it packs great. I used one of Back Country Leather's (Randy Miller) chest rigs. A match made in heaven. I bought it for bear protection but it is deffinately getting some woods time...
FYI the load I am shooting right now in the .450 uses 56.5 grains of H322 with a 210M primer. It chronographs 2030 fps. No need to go the 2400 FPS on deer.
So far. The glass is clear and the adjustments are prescise. I talked to them a fw days ago about the info for using the stadia. They said they are still working on it.
I tried some of the really hot loads like I used on the water buffalo in it without the brake. It was rough. With the brake it is tolerable but a lot of people probably still wouldn't like it. The top end 420 grain loads even with the brake are rather fiesty.
I have been looking at JRHs. The brass issue has been keeping me from doing it. Either buy it from Buffalo Bore whihc is pretty ptricey or chop off 500 S&W. Which did you do?
I finally bloodied my .450 Encore. 160 yards. The gun is working great. I used a 300 grain Hornady loaded to 2030 fps. With the new 1200-R powder I can get them out over 2400 fps from the 15" barrel. Quite the beast. I am saving my 300 grain Partitions for Elk, moose or Africa. I would love to...
