Sixgun Seamus Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Around here, it's stuffing as much black powder in a shell as possible then adding a bit more before you cram the bullet down on top of it. We have a couple of guys around here whose loads will make your eyes and ears bleed when they shoot them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Fill the case with black powder to the rim. Seat the bullet. Pull the bullet and refill the case. Seat the bullet again, and apply a heavy crimp. If the spotters and RO aren't cringing when you touch it off, you need more powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a shooter on our posse at the Ohio State Match a few years back who started the grass smoldering and broke one of the targets with his black powder loads? If I recall correctly his shotgun brought back memories of the sound of a 105mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Actually any 44 or 45 cal loaded to midpoint load data levels or above will be considered "warthog" by many cowboy shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Sawyer retired from the game and moved to Florida. Last time that I saw him (SE Regionals 2 years ago) he said it was his last match, and about a year ago he sold me a bunch of 45C brass.
