Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 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 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Gus, SASS# 66666 Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Bud Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 (edited) 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! Edited November 16 by Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
