Thanks Chris,
I'll probably end up with the heavy roller anyway. The first rolling block I ever fired was a John Bodine 34". It belonged to one of the guys at my gun club. I fell in love with...

Both rifles come with Pedersoli long range vernier sights with matching globe front, and double set triggers. But I plan on replacing a sights with a set of MVA.

Lead Pot, you are correct about the model 95 push. While in the Army I was stationed in Savanah GA. We use to hunt big tusker boars in the palmetto patches. I've slammed a few big boys that were...

Both have pistol grip stocks. I know that I read here on this forum, that the 1:18 twist does better with heavier lead than the standard 405 gr. That is the reason I plan on using heavier cast...

Almost forgot. For anyone who doesn't know, the John Bodine is a Rolling Block.

Hey fellas,
I'm finally able to buy my first BPCR. I've narrowed it down to two. Both Pedersoli's, both 45-70, and both about the same price. I will be mainly using for steel targets, and wanting...
Guess I just love the older style guns. When I grab a pistol, it's a single action. If I need a rifle, I grab one of my lever actions. If I need a shotgun, I grab a single shot. And I I hunt...
Ya at. Boss just confirmed that our Christmas bonus will be in this week's check. So I called my LGS and told him I'd be in Friday to pick it up. He said he was taking it out of showcase and putting...
All I can say is I own SEVEN Crossbreed holsters, and have a entire box of holsters I never use..lol. I've been using Crossbreed for more years than I can remember. Mark nailed it perfect when he...
Thin Man you are so correct. Only thing I'm waiting on is my Christmas Bonus...lol. Which buys me a new firearm every year..:)
In past years it always comes this week..
My normal EDC is a 4 3/4 Colt 45. Load one, skip one, load four. Even load the same on range. Have even loaded my old Vaqueros same way out of habit..lol
I'm glad I spotted the 3 screw. I had gone in there cause a buddy of mine told me he had a Talo SBH 44 mag 7 1/2 Turnbul CCH.. Which also is a gorgeous SA..
Yes.. I don't want it for "collectors value". I want it to shoot. I just love the old models..
I will more than likely end up buying this 1972 SBH, and hopefully can get the price down to $700 or below. I look at it this way. Not only is it in excellent condition with original box, but unlike...
I know the action has nothing to do with pressure strength. I just didn't know if even the OLD blackhawks could handle over SAMMI specs. I'm just trying to learn more about the pistol I might...
So if I can get him down to $700 or below its a decent deal..? Also, can the 3 screw handle the same kind of pressure as the new models. I know the cylinder is unflutted.
Update on 3 screw.. I went back today. It's a 1972, all original, 4 click, no rust, and no cylinder drag marks. Also in original serial numbered box. His asking price is $750. I also noticed the...
Hey guys,
Yesterday I found a original 3 screw 44 mag Blackhawk at my local gun shop. I was kind of rushed so didn't have time to examine it closely. It is still in original box, 7 1/2 barrel, and...

Thanks Wheelgun.. That's helps put it into a easy perspective. Is there a rule of thumb for bullet weights.. Such as example.. Heavy bullets pushed fast, or lighter bullets pushed slower. I do...

I will definitely only use loads published by reputable sources. Was just meaning that I've seen a lot of post about TB being good for beginners due to the fact it's harder to double charge. I have...

Jeff Quinn of Gunblast had great results using Unique with the 325 gr 480 Ruger. I know that there are many other powders out there that I will end up trying. But before today I had NONE..lol. Got to...
Forum: Cast Boolits
One point forgot to mention. Since I picked up the powders in person, I avoided a hazmat fee ordering online. I was out the door with three one pound powders, for a total of $55.

This hasn't been a good week for our family. We had a much unexpected death in the family this past Saturday. Due to this I have been in Monroe NC all week. Funeral is set for tomorrow. Anyway, took...

One other step I forgot.. After putting the 3 different wads over the powder, Murphy also clubbed the bullet with Oxy Yoke bullet lube..

Hey guys,
I've been watching a guy on YouTube by the name Murphy's Muskets, who seems to have his act together for loading 45 Colt BP. This is what he is using.
