Cusz M. Dutch SASS Life 55326

Used both shotgun and batwings. Shot a hot state meet in Utah with shotgun chaps and cut off shorts because I forgot my blue jeans. Had my boots but forgot to throw in any socks since I drove wearing flip flops. Had to borrow some transgender socks from a fine lady. Gave the batwings to my son since they were heavy working leather type. When grease and waxed up, the shotgun chaps are used as wind/rain pants when riding in the High Uintas on my mules. Never got the protection from melting snow or rain while riding with the batwings!

New rifle - go with the 38/40. Great BP caliber legal in all classes. Lighter bullet for recoil recovery. You have a big hole and smaller bullet for the funnel effect. Cases can be made easily from 44/40. Paired up with a couple of 38/40 dual conversion 40 S&W pistols Cowboy!

I went to the 38/55 because recoil was becoming an issue with both my Marlin and Rolling block in the 45/70. Highly recommetnd the 38/55. There are factory and handloads that take this into another realm for hunting if you think you need it. Orginal Factory spec ammo works fine for deer hunting.

Bore out the rifling on the 444 and load 444 shot shells???

You mentioned ML hunting. Ruger Old Army with a ball and a full load of H777 sure does the job on does 60 grains of Goex should work also.

Very Pleased with his brass that he shipped!

Now, if we could get the Girl Scouts selling cookies...

Large varies so much! What number coat do you wear?

Run it like you stoled it!

Very pleased with my SS Rossi 92 in 45 Colt They can be made to work at a lower cost than reinventing the wheel on your Winnie. Will also handle magnum 45 handloads if you want a hunting brush gun.

yep 45, 44/40, 38/40 - 40 S&W, 32/20 - 32 HRM Love them all. Usually pack the 45 Colt on pony rides with enough H110 to make Elmer Keith jealous!

I have one of each, never even shot them yet. Found them just before Covid scamdemic. And no, they are not for sell. Good luck

Looking like it might be a long winter from this thread
