So in my usual backwards way of going about things I have gathered up a pile of large pistol primers and nothing to use them on. My eventual quest once I get the funds together to get something in .45 cal (4506, 1911 or Blackhawk in 45LC. I have the brass powder and a couple moulds ready for that day...
However an opportunity to pick up a 2 screw .41 Blackhawk with some dies, brass and bullets has crossed my path at a reasonable price. It will of course blow the bank and delay the .45 quest but give me something well suited to casting and reloading to feed the east.
So what are the upsides/downsides to an orphan caliber or a Blackhawk? I haven’t looked much but what is the availability of good moulds.
Any good reasons to buy or should I let it pass and stay on course for a better supported .45 cal? Just looking for thoughts and opinions...
