Even in the summertime

Very effective shot placement.

Scott Tschirhart

You never know.

Scott Tschirhart

Good folks.

Scott Tschirhart

I took baked goods to the Sheriff’s Departments in Medina, Uvalde and Kinney Counties as well as Uvalde Police Department. The press were everywhere trying to stick a microphone in front of anyone who would talk. Like a circus of vultures. Remember that we have good folks trying to do a good job. Th...

This is how a bullet should fit a cylinder!
Belt Mountain cylinder pin?

Yes it is. That's Terry Murbach's old Colt.

270 grains of lead at ~800 fps is not magnum anything level. BUT--- it probably is plenty for stopping most 2 legged threats. I am not going to volunteer to be the one shot by those loads Lyman lists.

I reckon with that soft flat bullet, it is a lot better than that old 230 gr FMJ at 830 fps.

Scott Tschirhart

This is how a bullet should fit a cylinder!

Elementary school shooting in Uvalde Texas today. Looks like the 18 year old killed a teacher and 14 kids.

Responding police killed him.

Scott Tschirhart

Thank you!

I guess I am pushing these too hard for a SAA. I'm using 8.5 gr of Unique and seating the bullet deep to fit the FA 97 chambers.

I sure wish I could find my chronograph.

Scott Tschirhart

On pg 124 of Colt's Single Action Army, by Dave Scoville, the author states that Lyman published loading data for the 270SAA bullet in their Lyman Cast Bullet Manual, 4th Ed. [2010] in the .45 Colt section. If anyone has a copy of this manual, would you please send me a photo of the entry for this b...

It is easy to focus on the folks who are trying to bring attention to themselves and think about how things are going to hell. But I gotta tell you, I saw some wonderful serious young people who have no time for such things. So this was a great affirmation that we still have a crop of great young pe...

Scott Tschirhart

I believe that my problems with this gun are solved. 8.5 gr of Unique under the 255 gr Hornady swaged cowboy bullet won’t even lead. I fired about 60 rounds of various ammo through this bore yesterday and 5 of the last 6 fired went through the two inch hole in my flapper target at 25 yards. It doesn...

Scott Tschirhart

Scott, glad to hear your wife is out of danger and hope she is healing fast -- and your burdened heart, too. When I hear folks speaking negatively of the younger generation, I pay very little attention, as I have the very great privilege of rubbing shoulders and working with members of the Air Forc...

Scott Tschirhart

Four days of which were in the ICU. I am so grateful that we still have caring young people working so hard to keep folks alive and well. This younger generation may have some mental issues and pink hair (warning sign) but I didn't see anything but fine young men and women working hard to keep my wi...

Scott Tschirhart

I've never owned anything but full sized 1911 style handguns, but I would like a smaller/lighter 1911 if I came across one reasonably priced. Lot of times I pack my compact 9mm due to it's light, small size; but I'd rather be packing a .45 instead. Going to a lightweight commander is a significant ...

Jim T. et all, got the following response from Mason Reamers: ray.gross@mansonreamers.com 6:16 AM (11 hours ago) to me Good morning Andy, We offer a 45 cal Pistol Throater that you can use to open the rearward end of your revolver barrel. It does require that you remove the barrel. The cost $50 plu...

Scott Tschirhart

Well, it is done and I sent the reamer back to 4D today. I think I will polish the chambers and throats a bit. Any tips on how to do that? I was thinking about using my dremel tool with a felt tip and some polishing compound.

Scott Tschirhart

The reamer was one I rented from 4D and it worked well, just that this cylinder seems harder than one I did several years ago.

Scott Tschirhart

Looks good to me.

Scott Tschirhart

His site contained a wealth of great information.

Looking at what I have right now, I am not convinced that I have a problem that needs to be solved. Now that the cylinder throats are opened up a bit, I think it will be fine as is.

Scott Tschirhart

You know what it needs? A lanyard ring on the bottom of the butt.

Scott Tschirhart

Absolutely gorgeous!

Scott Tschirhart

Scott, we have the same gun!!! Mine is older I think as it has the ugly safety warning stamped into the side of the barrel and not underneath as yours does. Mine has some upgrades but same gun! Too funny! :D -Tutt I’ve owned three of these. I put one in the drawing at the Holiday and won another ju...

Scott Tschirhart

That’s pretty clean for a bore. This photo was taken after six rounds of that 270SAA bullet over 8.5 gr of Unique.

Before I reamed the throats it left quite a bit of debris toward the cylinder. So this is a major improvement.

Scott Tschirhart

When I said this gun was more accurate than the other candidates, I wasn’t kidding. It shoots just about anything well. I’ve shot it with various brands of .45 ACP ball ammo, hollow point factory ammo, round nose and SWC handloads. It seems to shoot it all really well. I was testing other guns today...

Scott Tschirhart

Wow, just WOW!!!

200 gr H&G 68 over 5 gr Bullseye at 15 yards.

Scott Tschirhart

This gun responded well to opening up the cylinder throats. All loads shot well today. 250 gr XTP groups were really impressive. The 270SAA shot better too. But the deep seated version did noticeably better.

Scott Tschirhart

Scott, is that a laser engraved 45 Colt Bisley cylinder? If so, I have the same and had Bob Munden bore it out many years ago and polish it. Yes, hard steel for sure, why the Ruger New Model Blackhawk is so strong an action. But all sorts of tolerance problems with them in 45 Colt. Undercut chamber...

So what are you doing to the cylinder?

The throats were tight. Worked fine with jacketed bullets, but I shoot mostly cast. So I reamed them out a bit.

Scott Tschirhart

Been working on this for more than an hour! Seems like the last one I did (on a blued gun) was much easier.

Scott Tschirhart

I don't know how. I don't know if he was a good man or a bad man, or like most of us, somewhere in between.

But he became a symbol of our government's opressive nature.

Scott Tschirhart

Thanks for sharing gentlemen. I think I am in good company.

Scott Tschirhart

I like it! I know that this is a pipe dream, but wouldn't it be cool if we could get a Henry chambered in the .45 Cowboy with a properly sized carrier so that it would be very similar to the size of a real Henry chambered in .44 Henry Flat?

Scott Tschirhart

I have a bunch of old tools like this. In fact, that is the way I load for my old .50-70. I bought most of mine on ebay. There is quite a market for them there. I also did business with the 310 Shop for some time and he was an active buyer and seller. However, it appears that he is out of business.

Scott Tschirhart

That really turned out nice. Good work!

Scott Tschirhart

Great series. Kathy and I really enjoyed it.

Scott Tschirhart

That's a hell of a bunny load!!!

Scott Tschirhart

I've seen the 444 in a 45-70 before and Dad had a collection of wonky brass he collected at the range where people had fired the wrong cartridge in a rifle. Bummer about your firelapping kit but it is easy to make your own lapping bullets. Just get a couple of grits of lapping compound, smear a dab...

Scott Tschirhart

That makes good sense and I’ve worried about that myself. I popped the cover off of a magazine the other day and it was full of .300 BO. Could have been a problem if I were in a hurry.

Scott Tschirhart

I've done it on purpose ... just to show people it will work. They would stay on a combat silhouette target at 20 - 25 yards. Back in the 1980's we were up at Freedom, WY shooting long distance and one of the then-old Shootists was having problems hitting stuff out past 500 yards. Turned out he had...

Scott Tschirhart

Fortunately the revolver appears to be undamaged. I’ve seen someone here do this intentionally…..a long time ago. I imagine I
Looked pretty silly. I was just pounding the steel…..then I couldn’t hit it at all. Franticly checking the sights……good times.

Scott Tschirhart

That will screw up your accuracy every time LOL! Maybe lap the barrel some to cure the roughness, I need to do the same to my Ruger Bisley New Model Blackhawk still. I have the fire-lapping kit, just never have gotten around to it! -Tutt I ordered a fire lapping kit from Beartooth bullets....a long...

I was out at the ranch to shoot a Ruger Bisley large frame in .45 Colt. Its not the smoothest bore or the most accurate revolver I own, but it is very comfortable to shoot. I put some boxes of mixed ammo that I had loaded, but not labelled (bad idea) over the years and I figured I would get my brass...

Scott,

Nice piece. What is your IPSC loading?

A bit hotter than it probably needed to be but I always shot 5 gr Bullseye under a 200 gr H&G68. I've been shooting this load for more than 40 years now. Never actually killed anything bigger than an armadillo with it though.

Scott Tschirhart

The nice thing about a .45 is that it works (terminally) fine with ball ammo, SWCs or hollow points.

Scott Tschirhart

I've got a steel framed Commander from Nighthawk. A Texas Border Special designed with the help of my old friend Jim Wilson. But it is a bit much weight to carry every day like I used to. Gold bead front sight. Everything you need and nothing that you don't. It is a well-designed and very accurate p...

Scott Tschirhart

Very nice!

Scott Tschirhart

I loaded it up with 230 gr ball and stuck it in my britches where it has been riding for the past week. No lower back strain.
