Heart goes out to you. We lost a co-worker yesterday and you never stop to think of what that means till the times are past. Gianni.

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your good friend.
I think the toughest part about getting older is the loss of family and friends.

[Hunter]

My deepest symprathies for his family and friends. I will remember them in my prayers.

I know what it's like to lose good shooting buddies. My prayers for Joe's family.

Thoughts and prayers from our house, too.

I don't like those "empty chairs".

Deputy Al is right....those empty chairs are terrible....


Prayers for all.....Joe, family, and friends....

That's been my favorite .44 Magnum load since the 1970s. My wife opened her forehead with it, too, holding my Super Blackhawk loosely with bent elbows.

Sorry about your friend.

Sorry to hear about your compradre. That load is my 'other favourite load' my fav is Elmers load, but I shot a lot of the Winchester load out of my 5.5" NMSBH when 2400 was off the market here for a lot of years. MIck.
