    I have a full sized #1 Rolling Block I bought relined and chambered in .38 Special. An old Sporting Rifle that started life as a .38 Long RF, and got converted to CF also when relined.
    I honestly never considered a Rolling Block in this cartridge ever. But it was very reasonably priced, and I'm a sucker for them. Once I put good sights on it, I was pleasantly surprised how accurate it is, and how much fun it is to shoot! I've been able to get pretty decent accuracy out to 500 yds., and even less consistent hits on the 650 yd. plates too.

    The .38 Special has to be the easiest cartridge to reload too.

    This is one reason why I have just decided to buy 357 magnum everything. Everything about loading for it is a walk in the park, and with the right barrel length and boolit it does everything I need a gun to do - including handling some surprisingly heavy boolits at surprising velocities. There isn't anything I'd be interested in shooting which it couldn't handle at ranges where I'd be capable of hitting the target.

    Would be almost as good in a lever-action, but the single-shot really just puts it over the top. No chasing brass, no worries about boolit profiles and feeding, no worries about cycling the action. It's like gun nirvana.
    I'm a big fan of data-driven decisions. You want to make me smile, show me a spreadsheet! Extra points for graphs and best-fit predictive equations.

    Last night I was watching the movie The Gunfighter for the umpteen time, I saw a single shot rifle that I wish they had shown more of. A man was in an upstairs apartment waiting to shoot Peck when he came out of the saloon across the street. The rifle he was holding was not made in the USA. I could tell this by seeing the lever. I appeared to be an English made rifle by the look of the lever. Wish I could have seen more of it.

    This is why…

    I sure hope this works, been having an issue posting pics from Imgur. Used to use photobucket until they wanted me to pay and have that stupid banner across the pictures…

    OK my picture posting skills stink, admittedly, but if you click on the link you’ll find out why we’ve been married 41 years the end of this month. If it just doesn’t get any prettier than this.

    My photography skills stink too….

    Art, you need to use the "BCC Code" at Imgur when posting images so it adds the parameters to show up as a picture, and not just a link.
