Patiently waiting their turn to be lubed.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.
140 gr. ( Yes, 140 gr. not the standard 148 gr. that we are so accustomed to seeing ) RCBS 38 / 357 Wadcutters lubed with Ben's Red and tumble lubed with 45 / 45 / 10 :
And my Colt Officer's Model Match to fire them out out of :
Should be a great combination with some Bullseye or Tite-Group ! !

Old School goodness 38 Special match sixguns. A Smith and Wesson K-38 and a Colt Officers Model. Wadcutter is their fodder.

Great photos SteveM, and a very nice looking firearm. You have my vote!!!
Beagle 333 and Steven M tie, both great for different reasons.
Steven M's photos are very nicely composed with complimentary texture and colors of bullets with beautiful hardware and grips, well layed out with the color and grain of the wood background.... very well done.... eye candy indeed!
Beagle 333's photo stirred a different emotion: Solid soldiers standing sentinal in the late evening shadows, shouldering responsible protection for themselves and others. The soft light against the warm wood, the soft shadows against the hard lead made me think of the diciplined young men and women deployed overseas who should now be safely home.
Eye candy is like Christmas and it IS sweet, but I'll salute our kids in service...Beagle 333 has my vote.
Kinda different perspective, eh?
