Warden Callaway Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 At least you didn't have to guess if it came out or was stuck in barrel.
Presidio Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 Thinking that's just a tad light on powder.
Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 Kinda like horseshoes.. close but no cigar just not quite

Bingo Montana Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 I wouldn't have believed it unless I was there and saw it will my own eyes!
Matthew Duncan Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 That’s what happen when you’re shooting into the wind.
Warden Callaway Posted November 12, 2023 Posted November 12, 2023 Looks like the target was too close.
Hells Comin Posted November 12, 2023 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.
Buckshot Sheridan Posted November 12, 2023 Posted November 12, 2023 Remember to use magnum primers next time
Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted November 12, 2023 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.
Gungadin Posted November 12, 2023 Posted November 12, 2023 So obviously the shot after that one didn't happen. Why?

Earl Brasse, SASS #3562 Posted November 12, 2023 Posted November 12, 2023 That's the hard way to slug a barrel.

My kids say 'no such thing as luck, God's blessing'. Not sure my brain, left hand, trigger finger sequence would stop me from running one into it....
Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted November 12, 2023 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.
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted November 13, 2023 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
Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 Ya' got a cool SASS # Big Guss.....
Big Gus, SASS# 66666 Posted November 13, 2023 Author 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 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!

Pair of beretta stampedes engraved by the late Linecutter.
Major Crimes Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 Maybe think about reducing your OAL a tad?
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted November 16, 2023 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!
I. M. Crossdraw, SASS# 8321 Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Looks like you've been spitting bullets there, pard.
Major BS Walker Regulator Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Not really a surprise coming from the guy with the leather plier's carrier mounted on his gun belt. Reference first picture.
Dubious Don #56333 Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 LOL, almost made it! 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. Ol' John kept it as a souvenir, bought another HP LOL
Fallon Kid Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Good thing it did not fall out on your foot. Match DQ 5 ft rule. LOL
