Hi,
I bet that RSBH Hunter in 41 mag is hard to locate!!! And a bit pricey when you do! Here is a pic of my 41 mag BH with a SBH hammer,free spin pawl,honed cyl.throats,11 degree crown,trigger job,slow rust blue finish and steel ejector housing. Very accurate with the RCBS 210 SWC boolit!

That is just down right piggish
But beautiful

That load is exactly what wound up working in my 7.5 inch 45 colt ruger also. Offhand at 100 yards I can hit a 12 / 12 steel plate every time. A very satisfying "thuuunnnngg" coming back at me.

Which load are you talking about?

Here's how she shoots






No one has worked on this gun but me!

I think he means the one in the pic

Just don't know who makes the 452424 assuming its a mold

[454PB]

452424 is a Lyman mold for the Keith 260 SWC. In this case, they weigh 235 grains due to the high antimony content.

That ain't my shooting. But I am getting to really like her. Need to get some glass next, which will be a first for me

Well I did it, swore I wasn't going to pay that much. But after working the last weekend and looking forward to two more work filled weekends I desided to treat myself to a one of 823 gun.

My luck they will start another run of them mid summer

Now what to do with the 44-SBH

I used to have the SBH in .44 mag. It was a fine shooter. But . . . it was a magnum. Shooting a lot of rounds in succession made for pain in my elbows. Several years ago I picked up RB in .45 Colt & I love it! Comfortable to shoot & plenty of power to kill a hog.
I thought that I would have to scope it after having cataract surgery but I can see the sights just fine. I shoot a Lyman 255gr. SWCGC with 8.0 grs. of unique. The attached picture is 30 rounds fired with open sights @ 15 yds..

OK-- So I am not an expert on theses pistols, but, I thought we wanted a nice snug fit in the throat. What did I miss ?

Don't forget,the bullets grow. When he picks a bigger heavier hunting bullet, that little bit of clearance will be helpful for chambering.

Ruger still has them listed as a distributor special. I'm sure they're not cheap. I have an earlier model with gray laminate grips (Bisley) and love it!

I have to press them through (dowel and about 10lbs). just dont need a hammer like my new model BH needed.

I believe that Davidson's online Gallery of Guns carried those 41 Mag SBH Hunter's a few years ago. I don't recall if the Bisley version was also available from them as well.
