My dad shot IMHSA back in the early 90s. I thought about getting into it, but the requirements to get into the club doing it seemed like too much hassle, and not much participation.
His 44 load...

The question is...what do you do with a chamber with three balls?
You walk it and pitch to the rifle!

Only saw half the museum once. I was actually tired of looking at guns by the end!
How about the Traditions brand SAA? I watched a guy on YouTube shooting one in 357 and it looked nice.

Lots of roadkill skunks. I reckon it's spring!
I have a Ballerina-Molestor. Great pistol.
The barrel was worn out so I replaced it with a "drop-in" Wilson Combat barrel; it works great.
I believe it is more a licensed copy of a Spanish Star...
David Richards on youtube says his Sunnen hone is the most accurate machine in his shop.

I've taken down small cedars with a 12g. Not the most efficient method, but fun.
Oh and had an old bird feeder with a paper wasp nest in it. I told em to come out peaceable but they wouldn't do it!

Good message. It is hard to sort stuff with tears in your eyes.

I use the RCBS 230gr LRN. Functions perfectly.

That's a good idea! Leave the skunks for loose dogs to roll in. The lazy owners should get tired of that!

I'm sorry I can't find Red's contact info.
edit: I found it, Richard "Red" Daugherty from Fremont, IN. He passed away in 2021 unfortunately.
You bet. Just putting it out there so people don't expect a response from OP.

There was a fella that was always at the Wanamakers show in Tulsa. I think his name was Red; I'll check dad's stuff this weekend for his business card.

Do you have a hydraulic toplink? It would be a pain to keep forks level on the 3 point with a regular toplink.

I've split big rounds in 2 or three pieces by drilling a 7/8" hole and blasting them with pyrodex! Maybe not the most civilized method, but fun!
