BTT… Nice threads for somebody’s lady!

Been using “backer rod” since about 2016 with no adverse effects. It’s cheap, effective and works well for me. The “toxicity “ of a fraction of a grain by weight is probably overshadowed by many other secondary sources of exposure that comes with a day at the range IMO. I have found that the exact length of cut backer rod is less critical so long it’s above the minimum length of your loading. Measure from powder charge to case mouth, and cut to that length. For 45 Colt, the seating depth of your bullet will supply plenty of compression with APP, BlackMz, T7etc… Add about 1/8” length for real black.

Bummer… Luther was a top notch guy every time we were around each other. Prayers for the family, and hope his trail ride is a peaceful one

BTT for Sunday.

It’s an issue as old as time. I’ve had 2 original COLT SAA do the exact same thing. Neither Colt were used for CAS. One was a BP 1880s gun, and the other a smokeless 1900s gun. Also happened with an early ASM clone gun that was used for CAS.

Having triaged a cowboy that blew off a hunk of his ring finger and wedding ring using wax bullets in a derringer “safety” demonstration at a match, I cringe when the derringer game is played!

Thanks for the kind words my friend!

Glad the PM went thru, thanks for the info!

Sent a PM 2 days ago, still no response to questions….

Who did the action work? It appears to be a carbine length barrel, so 19”, correct?

I Shot with Little River Scout and his wife at EOT. I still have the Aussie bandana they gave me. They were great folks.
