Like a super big coon!

Scott Tschirhart

My wife surprised me yesterday by suggesting that we needed to buy a place out of town so I could have a horse again.

Scott Tschirhart

Wonderful! I love old single shots.

Scott Tschirhart

These seem to shoot very well though they are sized .452 and some of my throats are larger and some smaller.

Scott Tschirhart

I found that hollow based bullets shoot equally well in a number of.45 Colt revolvers with varying throats and bore sizes.

Scott Tschirhart

Thanks for sharing Jim. Prayers continue.

Scott Tschirhart

Heck, you never know so you might as well ask. I do not have one.

Scott Tschirhart

Looks great Jim. Looking forward to your range report.

Scott Tschirhart

Hey, I still see people riding around alone in their cars with a mask on!

Seriously though, I am not sure that a pony like this is terribly reliable and that helmet could come in handy.

Scott Tschirhart

When I was about 10 or 11 years old, my grandad taught me to raise my outside elbow toward horizontal and to hook the toe of the stock into my armpit, not under my collarbone. Raising the elbow makes all the difference. At 13, my first center-fire was a hooked butt plate Remington M8, 35 Remington ...

Scott Tschirhart

Easy enough to do:

Scott Tschirhart

Fermin thinks I need to fire lap the bore.

Probably not a bad idea since I’m not getting a good lube star. But it does shoot!

Scott Tschirhart

Big Dave Wasson found this can at a garage sale. I have no idea how old it is.

Scott Tschirhart

Very uncommon to see here but this lady harnesses up the pony most every morning to take a spin.

When I was a child some of the Hispanic children had a similar cart that they would attach to a goat.

If you look closely you will see that mine has never been opened.

Scott Tschirhart

I had so much good success with Unique for so many years!

Scott Tschirhart

I don’t care who you are. This is cool.

Scott Tschirhart

So cool Jim.

Thank God for the rain!

Scott Tschirhart

I’m on the hunt for a different powder to replace Unique and TightGroup may not be it.

231 is next. But there’s a whole lotta space in the case with 231.

Scott Tschirhart

I tried some TiteGroup powder this weekend and noted that I was getting significant leading compared to similar loads with Unique. The gun also got noticeably hotter than it did with similar loads of Unique. Has anyone else noticed a significant difference like this with similar loads (velocity wise)?

Scott Tschirhart

You all probably know that Fermin makes wonderful front sights and i personally have them on several of my revolvers. But here’s something you may not know. I picked up an as new Old Model Ruger Blackhawk chambered in .45 Colt/ .45 ACP. The ACP cylinder shot very well but the mouths of the chambers ...

Scott Tschirhart

This works!

Scott Tschirhart

I’ll be happy to make a contribution. I don’t think it’s fair that the man who pulled the trigger should go free and that Hannah should not.

Scott Tschirhart

I wish I could find a pistol perch. Apparently they have been discontinued.

I have a cheap plastic rest that I will try.

Scott Tschirhart

Another one. This one is an 870 Police. It is well used but mechanically great.

Cylinder bore but much better sights.

Scott Tschirhart

So you put the bottom of the frame on the forks?

Thanks. The photos help a lot.

Scott Tschirhart

On your use of a pistol rest?

I’ve never used one and I’m curious about it.

Scott Tschirhart

Agreed!

Scott Tschirhart

Scott T has been posting about his Ruger "Dragoon" .. which is what Elmer Keith always wished Ruger would have named the big frame .44 single action. Many of us agree with him. But for fun I thought I would post a couple pictures of the original Dragoon. I don't have a real original. This...

The Unique load is 850 fps or so.

Quite useful numbers.

Scott Tschirhart

I really love the stocks on that gun. I tried to get Gary to do a set for me just like those.

I’ve handled and fired that .480 and I really liked it!

Scott Tschirhart

Again this morning.

Scott Tschirhart

Every weekend morning I’ve been on the ranch shooting 50 rounds of .22 through my Old Model Ruger before I shoot anything else.

I think it’s really helpful.

I’ve been gradually filing the rear sight down to match the sight picture to the point of impact.

Scott Tschirhart

Scott, Without going into to great a details, could you provide some info into what you are meaning by "changes the dynamics", for me to understand the future environment. ie 'Since the RN Convention is in 2 days, do you mean something like few to no open-air rallies anymore or other what...

Scott Tschirhart

What I would like to know is how the SS allowed a flat roof with a direct viewing line to the podium to go unwatched. Witnesses claim they reported the shooter to authorities as he was climbing onto the roof but were ignored by law enforcement, let that sink in. Also, estimates are it was 150 yards...

Scott Tschirhart

I’m a supporter of President Trump.

This changes the dynamics of this election and the direction forward.

Scott Tschirhart

I shot a couple of those 5 round boxes through it. It works like it should.

Not a bad group for 25 yards. Up close I don’t think adjusting the sights would matter.

Scott Tschirhart

Sights need a bit of adjustment.

Scott Tschirhart

By 1973 Ruger seems to have worked out all the kinks.

I tried six different loads this morning and it shot quite well with each. However there were two that stood out.

Skeeter’s .44 Special load averaged 924 fps

Skeeter’s .44 Magnum load (255 gr Keith over 21 gr 2400) averaged 1443 FPS.

Scott Tschirhart

If the prosecution hides evidence the court should dismiss. I don’t care a fig about Baldwin, but I do care about fair trials for anyone.

They should have dismissed the charges against President Trump as well.

Scott Tschirhart

It isn’t a terribly complicated machine compared to a watch or a truck.

Here’s what I had to go on:

Scott Tschirhart

That’s a very nice holster.

Scott Tschirhart

You know Jim, you may be exactly right!

Scott Tschirhart

My research indicates that Remington made some guns for prison use that had short barrels and a modified choke. But I always thought they had a bead sight.

Scott Tschirhart

Why would they make such a thing? Factory sights 18 inch barrel and modified choke? Might be good for buckshot but then you don’t need rifle sights. Background: I’ve been picking up 870 riot guns when I find them cheap but in good shape. Only qualifications are that they are less than $400 and have ...

Scott Tschirhart

Wow! I would too!

Scott Tschirhart

One “new” cartridge I wish I had been in on was the .480 Achilles.

That one fascinated me because it wasn’t a rip snorter but rather a balanced cartridge in a useful power range.

Scott Tschirhart

That's fabulous Scott. Do you have a video showing how you do that? No, I didn’t video it. And I’ve never seen a video of anyone else doing it. I’ve never talked about how to do it with anyone. But this is not a terribly complex machine and I had the old pawl to go by. I used a flat needle file and...

Scott Tschirhart

While I was fitting the pawl, I noticed that the rachet is not perfectly consistent. Two chambers would lock up before the sear dropped into the full cock notch while each of the other chambers would allow the sear to lock in as the sear dropped into the full cock notch. Now they all lock up when th...
