Reloading does NOT save you $$$$
BUT
ya get to shoot at least 3 tomes more
CB
Well... reloading does save me money to shoot BUT because I am addicted to reloading and handloading as a separate hobby I DO probably spend more money on it than I ever need to simply because I cannot seem to stop loading ammo just because I like doing that. Lol
I do not reload 9mm... factory cost is too affordable. All the calibers I load is stuff that Bass Pro/Cabelas, Scheels, etc wants waaaaaaay too much money for.

The fans in new york riot because their team won a sports event and this is their celebration?
I don't remember hearing about even a small riot in Texas when Karmelo Anthony was found guilty by an all white jury and that type of thing has become the staple of paid protesters and professional agitators whose sole purpose and meaning in life is to riot and destroy and to cause chaos.
Speaks volumes about something, just not sure exactly what. 😀

I picked up one exactly like you mentioned from T Bone's gun store several years back. As soon as he posted he had it, I called him up and jumped on it knowing probably wouldn't find another one. And darn if it didn't show up with an action job to boot! Might be the only one like it I've ever seen. You locate one, grab it quick!

I sent a pm to Frenchie LaPrade about his Marlin 45 Colt rifle. I got a message this morning from a Frenchie LaPrade saying he would take the $1,000 for it. I asked him what my offer was that I sent him. He couldnt tell me. So I offered $800 for it. The scammer said he would take it and wants me to send him my FFL information. I have no clue how these scammers got my phone number.
I have already talked to the real Frenchie LaPrade about this.
It's almost to the point I'd rather only buy FTF on some items here anymore. It's sad that there are so many damn scumbags on the internet trying to steal their way through life.

If you only shoot one or two matches a month, you can easily get by with the "less initial investment" Lee Turret press, or even a single stage press. As I write this I just finished loading 100 rounds of 45 Schofield on my Lee Turret.
The Lee Classic Turret press I purchased back in 2009 has paid countless dividends to reloading and hand loading. 45 Colt has always been my cowboy caliber of choice. When I first started cowboy action shooting I was buying factory ammo in bulk at gun shows for about $22/50. Even at that good price, I knew I was gonna have to step up and begin reloading. Fast forward from when I began to today and I handload 15 different handgun and rifle calibers as well as 12 ga BP. I enjoy reloading and handloading just as much as everything else in cowboy action. I find it rather relaxing and quite satisfying

These new Colt Pythons are GREAT revolvers.

I had a very similar rifle. It was a beauty. And a tack driver. I sold it about a year ago and the guy who owns it now loves it and shoots it very well.
Great pics!

Most people who don't know any better are gonna say that's AI. But I know cowboys... And that's real.
Good shooting, youngster!

Not out of my "Old" Vaqueros but out of my Blackhawks I certainly have. Those share the same frame size. NOT the smaller mid frame Flattop, mind you. The "Old" Vaquero can handle those loads though.
About all I shoot in my BHs are Tier II (over 14K psi up to 23K psi). John Taffin, Chuck Linebaugh and Brian Pearce have years worth of experience and load development with the 45 Colt +P realm. Fun stuff! I do prefer the Ruger Bisley for my non cowboy loads though... much easier on the hand and wrists.

What is a good price for the Blackhawk in 45 Colt? There's one in a local guns store for $550
If the condition is good to excellent I would have never let that out of my hand.

Thanks, MC! Yes, that's a size misprint. I'll fix it. 🙃

Can deliver in person to PoP in Lenexa, KS on Thursday June 11.
Face to face price W/O shipping $325.00

$40 shipped lower US. Lightweight leather, like new condition. No indication of maker. Unlined. Definitely works for someone with larger wrists and forearms.
Circumference: 9 1/2" wrist, 12 3/4" forearm end. Length: 6 1/4".

A great find and stag grips always add some class to a blued sixgun. Happy shooting! 😀
And the 45 Colt is the perfect caliber for a sixgun. That BH will shoot about anything you want in terms of real (non cowboy) loads.
-
$350 shipped lower US.
Doc's Old West made matching buckle shotguns and roping cuffs. Used maybe 5 times, excellent condition. Medium weight leather. I have other chaps and cuffs that get more use. I am 6'2, and was wearing these at 220lbs.

Received your pictures. Thank you. Looks like I have most of those copies already. Good luck with your sale... these are excellent reads.

Widder, seems like the last time I saw those on the shelf they were priced around $1200. Those were the 44 caliber guns. That has probably been 8 years though now.

Don't know how many made (certainly not a long production run) but yes, they are highly sought-after and shooters consider them rare.
I've only seen 2 of the Hunter models on a shelves, both 44 mags. Occasionally I will see a 45 Colt pop up on GB and they sell high. You really want a unicorn? Try to find the .41 mag Bisley Hunter. 😯

Ever see the old bumper stickers that read, 2B1ASK1?

I believe the first time I met him he was working the front entrance at EoT at Founder's Ranch, about 2009 ish. What a perfect first impression he left me with as my intro and welcome into the SASS world.
