I also shot over 50 .44 Special and over 50 .44 Magnum loads and my hand doesn’t hurt. So something is working better.

Re: Redhawk Stocks
I don’t know about that. Some shooters put me to shame.
You should watch videos of Lynn Thompson shooting sometime. That man has mastered the .454 Casull, and that’s something that I will never be able to do.

I changed out the stocks to the laminated wood versions.
No other changes.
I tried five different loads and they all shot better.

Redhawk Stocks
I’m working on getting a Ruger Redhawk to shoot. I have great ammo that shoots well in all my guns, and the dimensions of this gun are right with a very smooth barrel. The rubber stocks feel great in my hand for dry firing but I noticed that my hand would hurt after shooting any quantity of .44 Magn...

Skeeter Skelton story
I’m looking for an old Skeeter Dobie grant story.
I think it was titled Midnight Ride and Dobie had retrieved a stolen horse and had been wounded in the scrape.
As I recall he found a windmill and shot a deer with his revolver as he was laid up.
Anybody remember this one?

Re: Favorite Rimfires?
I really should shoot a .22 more.
Typically I shoot on Saturday mornings but I have limited time so I have concentrated on the bigger guns.
I think I would be better off slowing down and shooting 50 rounds through the.22 first for accuracy and then shoot 10-20 rounds through a bigger sixgun.

Re: How About 1 Caliber and Done?
I’ve thought long and hard about this….yeah I know, I’m not that bright. I can narrow it down to one cartridge and one load. I could get by quite happily with the.45 Colt and the factory Remington 250 grain load. The box says that it clocks 750 fps but in my Colt it averages 830 in my 4 3/4 inch Colt.

Re: .38 Special and pressure
Bullseye is my go to powder for the .38 Special and will be as long as I can get Bullseye.
But I don’t try to go that low on powder charges.
I understand that Bullseye was used to load factory .45 Colt ammunition for many years.
