There were probably others but Elmer Keith had his OA fitted with the Ruger brass Superblackhawk gripframe. That would be sweet.

With that flat on either bullet you don't need expansion. Besides, expansion is a variable that may or may not happen. These well designed flat noses work at the moment of impact and right on...

Aaaaaannnd down the rabbitt hole you go! That's quite a setup you have, you should go far pilgrim. Open center bases with the patch and only up the sides no further than needed. I've shot 2f and...
Elmer wanted and insisted on three equal width (length) bands on his desgns as he wanted the front band heavy enough to grab the rifling to reduce skidding as it hit the rifling. Elmer gave his...
I have fired 250 grain Keith bullets from at least five different molds over the years and they all shot well, some a little better than others but all good. Back in the day before CRP we could shoot...

Bought mine in 1973 I believe. We loaded 40 grains 3f and lead roundball and plants them in 1 inch at 25 yards with regularity. Reminds me I need to get her out.
I bought a file to serrate the back of the of the sight. I serrated the verticle flat area of the back of the sight. Where the sight started to round out the serrations ovbiously stopped. From that...

You may be a little late with your suggestion however kindhearted it is and I agree with you but the fuse of the rocket sled to hard times is already lit. Prepare accordingly.

They are pricey but if possible a Harvest Right freez drier can be extremely valuable. I can hear the wailing already, "You wouldn't have enough money left over to buy your food to freeze, you...
Also love my 4" 24-3. Attended the 1981 N.R.A. Convention in Denver and met Skeeter Skelton. I told Skeeter that I wished Smith and Wesson would bring back their Model 24 .44 Special. At that Skeeter...
This! The spray and pray method on t.v. and movies has taken over from accurate but it is all for the excitement factor. Body a police shootings show the same thing, quantity of shots over accuracy...
