greetings,
is there anyone doing much shooting with the 9mm Blackhawk ? i am currently using lee 124 gr powder coated bullets with 3.2gr of 700x . Why 700x cause I had 2 cans on the bench.

It's an old 3 screw picked up at a gun show , a dealer offered the owner $ 150 for it. The owner looked at me asked me what I thought ( never seen the guy before ) told for $150 he , should just sell it to me for $151, and he did. the dealer went through the roof.

i mean a damn 3 screw 357 mag blackhawk with a spare cyl. it ought to be worth at least $ 153 ish. YA, THINK

Handloading for the 9mm cylinder is the only way to go. I found that out 'way back, when I tried shooting 9mm ball through my 9mm cylinder. The .355 bullet rattled down the .357 grooves, and accuracy was a non-starter. Loaded w/Lee 105 gr SWC's, and accuracy re-appeared.
And even though I already have one, I'll give you an even $160 for yours, and you make a profit! I'll even pay shipping...

$200 and I will pay shipping
That dealer knew it was worth more. What a scumbag but he is in business to make money and the seller id a grown man but it kinda sleazy and unethical in my book to offer that silly price

Yes, I shoot boolits out of my Blackhawk 9mm/357 combi. No problems as the boolits are sized to .3575 Low recoil and the small kids learn to shoot single action pistol with it.

Go to Castpics which is a link on the bottom of each page. it was built as a fail safe if this board ever went down during the "Shooters.com" days and before Aimmo hosted this board and Willy got involved. Click on members articles and read everything Beagle wrote but start with the 9mm in a Ruger Blackhawk.
