Congrats Roy! Hope to see you at fun fifth next weekend! Me and Dixie been away too long! BD

My wife shoots 45 Colt in her Rossi 92 and 44 mag in her Super Blackhawks....I load all her loading bags before the match and the 45 Colt are marked on the bottom with a red marker...as she says “red is for rifle” ...been shooting that way for 6 years and hasn’t messed up yet. BD

For a long time I shot 44 mag rifle and 45 Colt pistols, then I got a 45 Colt rifle and shoot 45 Colt in all, but my pistol loads are lighter than my rifle so I still have to be conscious of what bullets are going in what gun....it ain’t rocket science. BD

Yep I use the Ted Cash straight capper with my Remington New Model Armies. No cylinder altering necessary. BD

Gone

Sent you a message Duncan

I have 100 bullets I pulled from 2 boxes of 44 mag 180 grain jacketed soft point that I would like to trade 2 to 1 for some lead bullets in 44 mag/sp or 45 Colt. Don’t have much use for these, and would refer to trade them for something I can use.

Like your name there Pard

Congratulations pard!!

I love my Marlin 1894 in 44 mag, mines an older 1894SS model that Mr. Widder helped me with via many phone calls years ago lol. BD

Well for me Sunday is for my church and my Lord, not for playing cowboy, when a match near me went to Sat./Sun from a Fri/Sat situation, I quit going, to each his own of course. Those are just my priorities. BD

I actually have just started playing around with a 160 RNFP in my wife's 45 LC Rossi and she hasn't had trouble with blow back as of yet. BD

I can give you my experience. I have an 1894 44SS that has been set up with the angle feed, and it would feed great using 44 special with 200 RNFP, but would occasionally hang when I would use 44 mag brass with the same bullet. Well, a good pard (Doc Fill Em) helped me adjust the tension on my extractor, and that fixed the issue. Now I can tell you she still seems to prefer the length of the 44 special brass, but she will feed both, I just never get a hang up, even with shooter error. The mag brass once in a great while might hang when I don't run the lever as clean as I should. just my experience with a similar rifle. BD
