"Dissolving the myth" posted to Sixgunner.com

Since the Linebaugh site went down, I thought this would be a fitting first article to put up from the old Sixgunner site. Many thanks to Jim Taylor for providing them. I found it easier to do a screenshot pic for the loading data tables. Met me know if I missed anything. More to come.....

Thank you for keeping some of the old stuff alive.

I've read this wonderful article a dozen times over the years and the truth is as shiny as ever.

Great article. Thanks.

This is what got me to shooting lighter loads in my .45 Colt.

Very cool article.

I don't yet own a big Ruger in 45 Colt, but maybe in my dotage I should acquire one, eh?

Thanks!

Thank you Craig. This information has been so valuable to me over the years when loading for my 45 Colt Blackhawks. I am glad to see it again.

I've referred to that same passage over the years. I'd copied it into my notes. I'm looking for a 45 Colt levergun and plan to load it subsonic, with Linebaugh's recommendation in mind. It should be a pleasant little shooter.

Yep

That is some GREAT stuff.

Hey Jim, do you have any pics of the "Working gun"? I'm working on that one and a few others.

I've got some old pics with your name in the file name. I just don't remember what article they're from. I have some marked "before" and "after". Is this it?

Yessir. That is the gun. I shot that gun for years til it was worn loose and then had Hamilton Bowen rebuild it.

[CraigC]

I have this as "after". I couldn't find a version on the wayback machine with pics but I'd like to add them to the article if it's appropriate. I remember it being one of my favorite articles. Hope I'm not being too much trouble.

[CraigC]

Was this one attached to an article?

That is after Bowen rebuilt it. I will send another photo plus the article about the rebuild.

That is the .357 Blackhawk I had rebuilt into a .45 ACP. Do you need the article?

[CraigC]

Okay, I'll leave the "afters" out of that one.

If you have it, I'll put it up. Maybe I'm stuck in the past but I love the stuff from the old site.

Here's the "working gun" article.

apparently I did not add your name to the email address ... does your email begin "newfrontier45"? If that's it I will correct it .. otherwise PM me if I don't have it right. Sorry!

[CraigC]

That's it.

[JimT]

OK ... thanks ... article and picture coming ...

[CraigC]

Got it and put it up, thanks! I think I had saved most the pics. I saved everything back then. I found a lot of articles I had saved too but I need to go through them.

I should have ... but some friends salvaged a bunch of it for me ... so I have most of the old site yet.
