    It's a .452 160. I should've stated that. 

    All things being equal a cast bullet should be .002 bigger than the bore.  Have a way over bored rossi 92 44 mag made in 1993-4 that has a .434-.435 inch bore depending on how one measures the slug.  It key holed at 25 yards.  Switched to softer Desparado Bullets from cowboybullets.com 240 grain .430 diameter the rifle now shoots round holes at 100 yards and a 2.5-3 inch group from a 20 inch carbine iron sights and over 65 yo eyes.

    I am working on an article about the Arizona Rangers. I need to find an original Winchester 1895 in 30-40 Krag to photograph. 
     

    If you are attending EOT or live near Prescott, and have an original I can photograph, please let me know.

    Make sure you have a krag, check out the AZ rangers Morenci Stike photo.

  4. Some decent powders for .38 special are bullseye, red dot, A2, Nitro 100 on the slower side HP38, unique or universal.  I use the Bullseye, Red Dot, A2 and Nitro 100 range of powders and get 2000 or so rounds out of a lb. not necessarily container as many now have 12 or 14 oz vs a true pound

    I believe the manual is including all the revolvers Taurus makes.  The Deputy is a single action only. And while I am not enamored by the “black” finish, if it came in .44 magnum, I would get one. It would go will with the Rossi 92’s. 

    Pretty sure if a true clone of the SAA as far as frame size goes there would be no way to fit a cylinder beefy enough to withstand 44 mag pressures.  Pretty much the reason ruger super blackhawks and OMVs are so big.

  6. Do not carry any, do not shoot black powder.  If I did would carry stuff to clean pistols, rifles and shotgun chambers prolly windex with vinegar and balistol or moose milk.  If at out of town match keep cleaning stuff in the truck or 5th wheel if I am dragging it.

    Did he bring folks in to help him write any section(s) of the book that have experience at being at the top of the "competitive" side of SASS?

     

    Would love to know.

    PS: No, I'm not buying the book. Everyone here will attest to the fact that I already know everything.

    True but should you buy the book it may well confirm your assertion and validate your beliefs

  8. Interesting, I notice your MEC has a 3 hole base, mine all have 4.  How old is your MEC?   Trying to figure out if it is super old or super new and the change to 4 hole came long ago or the 3 hole is a new thing.
