But I shoot better with a little heavier gun. SAPD marked 681.
A fixed sight service revolver is still the top of the heap as far as I am concerned. I guarantee that the flier in this group is not the gun but my fault.
I've got the same one, closest thing to a factory version of Keith's No.5 that's ever come along. There was a period of time after the .44 Special Flattops had been out for a while where I'd see used ones for around $450 all the time. I wish that I'd grabbed up every one of them now. That’s exactly...
I occasionally buy a box or two because this is a predictable load that shoots very well in my Marlin carbine (which doesn’t shoot cast bullets that well). Recoil seems the same box to box and lot to lot. I think I just had something wrong with the chronograph or the conditions’were not conducive to...

Did you have any of the other box to try as well?
Not sure what powder Winchester uses, of course it's different than we can buy but still a fast load for sure!
maybe just maybe your Redhawk is just the perfect storm of barrel dia, throat, forcing cone , barrel cylinder gap and everything is just right giving you that exactly right combo. I measured the throats and they are a slip fit for a .430 diameter bullet. Actually bigger than I thought but they seem...
Sounds like false numbers Scott. Sky screens? Bright sun or overcast? I got 1820±/‐ with 210gr 41 mags with lilgun out of 20" and questioned the load, another test on a different day showed the same. I'd say test them on a different day. Sky screens and bright sunshine. The odd thing is that t...
I have a question. Is this even possible? I set up my chronograph to test some loads in a 7.5 inch Super Redhawk. Skeeter loads are consistently clocking 950 fps in my Bowen 4 5/8 inch Blackhawk. So I expected a bit of increase from a 7.5 inch barrel. This load clocked: 1015 999 1005 1022 1009 This ...
I have to shoot something that I can shoot well. My .45 Colt load is probably about the equivalent of my Skeeter load but with a bigger heavier bullet. Both are very comfortable and accurate loads for me and I can hit what I want to or need to with these loads. Bears can be really scary creatures. H...
Who would have thought 30-40 years ago that the 9 mm would ever be this popular? Who would have guessed that lightweight carry guns like the SIG 365 would be so useful and compact, but still shootable?
Skinner sights tend to lead to more precise shooting for my uses.
The one I have on my Marlin Cowboy also slips in and out of the saddle scabbard easily without gouging. So I prefer the version with the protective wings

Does this visit have something to do with your previous trip to DC? Is your case being heard? If so good luck Scott!
I remember the old folks talking about “sixguns” and I still prefer to use that term for a single action revolver. “Pistol” seemed to be used for everything else whether it was a revolver or something else. Of course when I was starting out in the police department it was mostly Smith & Wesson r...
