I think I'll have to try this one, too.

**Edward429451** · 07-25-2006, 03:25 AM

My gun is a 7.5", irons. Does that put me in Ray Gun? Jus a plain ol' Redhawk.

**redneckdan** · 07-25-2006, 06:33 AM

I'm in. I'll do the Normal and Ray. Don't regularly have access to 50yds.

A 7.5" Redhawk would be good for the Ray Gun 25 yard division and the 50 Yard iron sight He-man division.

Well then it's good we're holding this match; you may have gone years before correcting this gaping hole in your armory.

**Edward429451** · 07-25-2006, 05:06 PM

Allright. No mention of targets? Do we all go to http://www.gamecalls.net/free_stuff/...e_targets.html

or

http://www.mytargets.com/ and use like targets or does it matter? I've never participated in one of your postal matches so don't really know how it's ran.

Any aiming point, pick the one that works best with your eyes and sights, shooting is for group size. (blank paper is fine, aiming point optional)

Even the Bullshop paper plate is accepted!

The Gunloads home page has a ton of downloadable and printable targets. Follow the link at the top of the page.

If Mosin Nagants are DA, there will be a "special recognition" category for anyone that submits a target from one.

**imashooter2** · 07-29-2006, 08:18 PM

Mosin Nagants are bolt action rifles. There is a Nagant M1895 pistol (the one where the cylinder moves up to close the barrel gap). It was made in both single action and double action versions. The source I looked up claims the double action pull is a moderate 20 pounds with a hair trigger single action pull of only 13 pounds.

I'll have to try the He-man 50 yd. iron sight class, and hope Elmer smiles down from Heaven upon me.

I reckon you get to shoot against my 10" iron in Ray gun. Just a plain ol' Flattop...

Dennis

OOPS! I guess not! DAs only huh? OK then, guess I'll play with a 6" M19....

Snubbie procured, targets shot.

358429, 4.0 231. 3" 12 shots.

S&W #36. Blue original wood grips. Nice slick action.

David

**David R** · 08-02-2006, 01:48 PM

15 yard shot.

S&W Model 25-7 5" 45 colt. I shot it at 50 feet. Nice group, lets see who can beat it.

David

**slughammer** · 08-08-2006, 05:48 PM

For the 50 Yard He-Man iron sight match I think I'm going to need some bigger paper.

I'm shooting my 5" S&W 627, load is a Lee 356-125 2R at 130gr, sized .358 with hard blue stuff and propelled with 4.5gr of AmSel, approx 900fps. Perhaps the light load is magnifying my errors?

**imashooter2** · 08-08-2006, 07:11 PM

I stopped into a gun show on Saturday and they had a big old case full of the Nagant revolvers. I asked if I could try the trigger on one... I believe the estimates from that web site are light! You need two men and a boy to roll those things over.

**twoworms** · 08-11-2006, 10:50 PM

Slughammer,

What range do you want the Nagant revolvers shot at?

I have one it shoots well.

Tim.
