Hells Comin Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Should've pulled the bullet from the barrel and thrown it at target, if u hit it- it's a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Memories: That exactly did occur to me years ago. I have that photo somewhere & will post it when I do. It was on old model 3 screw Ruger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 With those long barrels, if you had been at Bordertown when this happened, you could have reached over the table and touched the target with the nose of the bullet and it would have been a hit. Might have saved a clean match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 We told Gus there were 3 solves for this issue: More powder If conserving powder, then magnum pistol primers Cut the revolver barrels to 4.75" or shorter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Gus, SASS# 66666 Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 Worked very hard for this number. When I went to join the number was around 66xxx. I asked if I could have all 6s. They said unfortunately no as they were given sequentially. So I kept calling back until it was available. I think they just got tired of me calling and gave it to me.

Bison Bud Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Somewhat curious as to what the actual or at least intended load was here? By the way, beautiful handguns and I'm glad they apparently weren't damaged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I think increasing the charge by .1 grains MIGHT do the trick or at least allow the bullet to clear the barrel! Mind you, you may still have to hold a little higher. WART HOGS RULE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the second one of those I've seen, other one was a Browning HP owned by a guy wo started a uniform shop here in Phoenix, John's Uniforms. Bullet was just barely in the barrel.
