Took the Old Model Ruger out today

[David LaPell]

I got my Old Model Blackhawk out for a range session today. I was able to find a pair of grips until I get my Black Eagles that are not the greatest but they will work. I had some handloads of a #358156 hollowpoint of around 150 grains with 13.5 grains of 2400. Due to my arm injury all my shooting has to be done rested one handed. Recoil was brisk but no unpleasant. Once I got the gun sighted I just let her rip. I pulled a couple out of the bullseye but with a bit more practice she will do everything I want it to do when it comes to whitetails.

Looks good to me, especially the ones marked as sighted in. Put em in the vitals, you'll have venison. :bigsmyl2:

I was wondering about that "snowbird" at 12 O`Clock on the 6 ring line, then I realised it is a thumbtack! Old eyes trying to make something out of nothing. Nice shooting just the same.Robert

That is the same gun that I've shot a pretty big pile of lead through and out of any gun I've fired I keep going back to my blackhawk It just plan shoots straight. Last weekend I put 5 inside diameter of a silver dollar. I must confess though I mounted a red dot on top. I congratulate you on your fine shooting!
