My sympathies, Ysabel. I lost my father in 1989........miss him still. jd45

jd45

Ysabel, I honestly don't see how the two could meld. Being mostly lefties, it'd be wasted on them, it being contrary to their nature & philosophical world view. Here's an example......Ed Harris, who recently did Appaloosa as a hired gun/ lawman. I understand he's very against the citizenry posse...

Forgive me for being skeptical, but, as the Title of this thread is Buffalo Hunter, I have to say anyone who would attempt to kill a buffalo with the power available in an 1873 is suicidal. Now IF it were an 1876, that might be another matter. I just don't think a .44-40 packs enough punch to do the...

jd45

I appreciate the clarification AND the comparison charts El Chivo. BTW, why can't you use that Sierra bullet somebody mentioned, if I read that correctly? jd45

jd45

El Chivo,if I understood your reply correctly, there are shooters near you who take shots with their .30-30 rifles at from 250yds to 400yds & KILL either their metal hogs, paper bulls-eyes, Mexican drug cartell employees, or meat-on-the-hoof targets, that right? I have to say, that is mighty imp...

jd45

From what I've been reading the 200 RNCL does seem to be a favorite with many. I'm also gonna experiment with the 180 SpeerFP & a good dose of AA2460 or H335 in my 336A to bump the effective range another 50yds or so. Point blank out to 225, with the proper rest, looks mighty interesting. jd45

jd45

Can't wait to see pics! You're very fortunate! Just in case your bore slugs out a little on the large side, there's an outfit called PennBullets.com, that offers optional sizing. Standard is .452, with options of .451; .454; & .455, in several designs, such as RNFP; SWC; TC, etc. He sells in lot...

leverluver, Old Savage showed us some custom handloads for his lever rifle in the thread on .45 Colt Loads. It consisted of a MtBaldy 360GR Keith-style SWC sittin atop 18.5GRS H110 with a mag primer. You talk about the Hammer of Thor!!! That info just might nudge you in the direction of a .45 Colt c...

jd45

model55, may I suggest you just put an edge on yours, if possible, or isn't it made of a metal that'll hold an edge? jd45

jd45

I really wish Winchester would offer those Silvertips as a component for reloading, like they do in the other pistol calibers. I just don't understand why they don't. jd45
OS, I'll bet your custom handloads will beat hands down anything a .44MAG reloader could dream
up! jd45

jd45

sixgun, cameras can & do play tricks on the human eye. You sure this ain't one of em? jd45

jd45

What a find! If the hammer is "A late 1st generation", does that mean it doesn't have the "straight-tapered" cone shaped firing pin configuration of the earliest SAAs? I'm a .45 Colt buff, but .44-40 would be REALLY nice, too! Good luck with it! jd45

jd45

Steve, I'm curious about over-penetration to un-intented targets in CQB. What think you? jd45

jd45

On the one hand I was shocked & surprised to see his pic on my Internet home page news, with the announcement of his passing; on the other, I had been dreading it for a long time. I signed the petition to have his DSC upgraded to MOH several years ago, & I was really disappointed he didn't g...

jd45

SJ, my guess is that either Steve or someone else connected with making the movie, wanted something that you hardly EVER see, something exotic, such as that '76, instead of the usual run-of-the-mill '92, or in this case, '94. Steve knew guns.......I'll bet he had some input on the choice. That's wha...

jd45

MajorCordite, your cat's dead on about that ploy. BTW, what is your cat's name? jd45
And Joe,.....yours looks WAY TOO comfortable..........he needs to be chewin on more mousies. jd45

jd45

stanforth, I just tried to email you with the following text, " It ocurred to me to invite you gents to come , "across the the pond", as we're wont to say, but I don't honestly know just how secure our gunrights are with that person in the White House. But, regardless I want you to kn...

jd45

Good on ya, Mike! That WAS a good vid! jd45

jd45

IIRC, the Uberti SAs all have that safety device below the firing pin on the hammer, except for the ones they supply Cimmaron Arms with. I've never understood why Cimmaron wasn't required to sell SAs with it, like the rest, but I mush prefer their version, as it looks more like the original Colt. I ...

jd45

Yeah, keep lookin!!!! & let us know when you find em........Who knows, they may be in more shootable condition, if you're lucky, & I hope you are! jd45

jd45

This question brings to my mind a story I read in the books relating to WWII. Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill was interrupted by an aid during that war, saying, " Winnie has scored a direct hit, Sir!", (Winnie being a ceremonial cannon named after, who else, Sir Winston Churchill). Wh...

jd45

I'm right alongside Nath! How'd she shoot???? jd45

jd45

vancelw, that hadn't occurred to me, I mean about the horse possibly being wounded, or un-cooperative, to pull it along as a re-mount. Thanx for bringin that up, jd45

jd45

USFA offers the Rodeo in .45 Colt-.38SPL. The finish is matte, but the internals are top-notch. You should be able to run warm .38 loads in her w/o trouble. Or, there's the Ruger. I'd go with the USFA, if it were me. jd45

jd45

No kidding, C. Cash..........I wasn't aware that Gus's or Kim's had been fixed to fire carts!!! Thanx for the info, BTW....do you know who was responsible for the upgrade in tech? Just curious, dontcha know, Thanx for any info, jd45

jd45

P.S......Buck, I was thinkin he coulda grabbed the reins of that standing horse & pulled it along with them to use when li'l blackie gave out, don't ya think? Just curious, jd45

jd45

Buck, wasn't her pistol in the original a Colt Walker? The first thing I noticed was that the cylinder was much shorter in this version. Or is my memory playing tricks on me, (again)? jd45

jd45

Peanut Gallery! jd45

jd45

PERRY, I FEEL IT'S MY DUTY TO WARN YOU!!! PLEASE, FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, DON'T EVER LOOK DOWN THE TUBE OF A CASE!!! YOU MIGHT GET CORNFUSED & LOOK DOWN THE BARREL OF A COLT SAA!!!! (grin) Don't worry, I'm not takin the act to Vegas! jd45

jd45

That's a beautiful specimen, but the most important aspect of it to me, at least, would be, is the firing pin of the "straight-taper cone shape", as the very first ones were, and as USFA produces today, or the later, what I would describe as a radiused-taper shaped pin. I much prefer the f...

jd45

I got mine from Winchester for $4, but that was a few years ago..........that source may have dried up. jd45

jd45

Just for the record, & NOT saying I'd go there in my Rossi '92, but in Paco's Article, " .45's; Small; Big; & Tall", he lists 23.5grs 2400 under a 300gr cast bullet as max, in HIS rifle. Also lists 24.5grs 2400 under a 260gr cast bullet as max in HIS rifle, as well..........advisin...

jd45

Just curious, but isn't a 9mm bullet more than a bit of overkill on a rabbit? But it definitely is TS, anyway! jd45

jd45

That '76 looks JUST like the Winchester Paul Newman carried in "Hombre", tho I'm aware his was a '73. jd45

jd45

I shudder to think what kind of shape you'd be in after a 2-hour range session with that monstrosity!!! Unless, that is, they could fit some kinda recoil buffer in the buttstock, like what they did for the M-60. jd45

jd45

I, for one, am thankful you decided to include a pic of THE MOST SINISTER, MENACING looking war bird, and I know this is VERY subjective, to ever be thought of, designed & built by man.......the McDonnell-Douglas F4 PHANTOM. I can't think of any other aircraft that would generate as much fear in...

jd45

Regan throated my 1951 336A so my large diameter cast .35 bullets would chamber. Great job! He will do you a good job, for sure, whatever it is you want him to do! jd45

jd45

damienph, I guess since you're a Kansas native, those scenes on the "Kansas prairie" didn't impress you, huh? They fooled me, but I'm just a kid from Chicago. Gunsmoke was, bar none, my absolute favorite western TV series in the mid-50's. jd45

jd45

I think you can be well satisfied with your results at 200, which is not to say you can't improve on them, but........darn fine shootin!!!!, jd45

jd45

Hello right back to ya, Englander 2b2, thanx for your post, Merry Christmas. to you & yours
My GUESS may be better

jd45

Please forgive me my tardiness, Paco.......my prayers are sent for you & yours. May God bless you. jd45

jd45

Great News! Enjoy the Holiday! jd45

jd45

Just to be on the safe side, I would use cowboy-action level cartridges in it, if it were mine. jd45

jd45

I hear what you're saying, claybob86. I have to say the claims he makes for this product are really beyond anything I've ever heard before, but that's apparently what the sponsor wants the public to know. If I do try it, you can be sure I'll post my results here for all you guys, (and girls). Thanx,...

jd45

It ain't even good special effects! Just how in HELL can a BB VAPORIZE a human head, when even a .45 caliber bullet can't? This is just another example of, "Only in Hollywood could this happen", figuratively speaking, of course, as this obviously wasn't done in Hollywood. And no, I didn't ...

jd45

I'm reminded of a product called Marvel Mystery Oil, intended for upper cylinder lubing........ya mix it with the gas, as far as I know, ....no claims of increased fuel mileage. This blowtorch conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage we have on AM 560 in Chicago is advertizing a product call...

jd45

WAY TO POST THOSE PICS, JOE!! Wish I had that capability, jd45

jd45

Press on, regardless of what the naysayers say, I guess, Joe. jd45

jd45

I just dug out an old article by Paco on the .45 Colt cartridge entitled, " .45s....Small....Big....& Tall", in which he discusses revolver , as well as rifle loads. Said he killed a very large Zebra in the late '50s w/ a Colt SAA & COMMERCIAL ammo, (!). Also said he bought a Ruger...

jd45

This is just a SWAG, but my Rossi '92's left cartridge guide has a hinged, curved front portion, spring-loaded from behind, (against the inside wall of the receiver) that prevents a cartridge from coming out of the mag until you "ask" for it. It could be that the '94 is designed similarly....
