Re: 45---long---colt

What is good enough for Paco is good enough for me. Besides, it is his name on this forum.

Re: How about the "most under-appreciated" cartridge!

By the questions parameters, 30-30 followed by 45/70. Both are far underappreciated.

Re: 9 gr. of Unique for Rossi's and SAA?

I used to load 8 gr of Unique with my 250gr but found it too position sensitive. If you want something a little zippier and less position sensitive try 9-9.5 gr of HS6. That is my standard load out of my pistols these days. Not quite as heavy as my full load BP loads, but not for the feint of heart ...

Re: Marlin 1894 Cowboy vs Cowboy Limited?

Mine is a 1997 24" Vintage back when they still made them with quality which was until around 1998. If you can get ahold of one of them they are a lot better than the 20' verisions with plain wood. Bought mine about 2 years ago unused for about $700. Smooth without action work.

Re: Cimarron Richards-Mason Conversion revolver

I am slower than sin so I don't need anything race ready. Beyond that do the Taylor's need any work? I am looking for something for my tired old eyes. I line up my rifle and shotgun fine, but my pistol sights are just too close together at 5 1/2".

Re: Cimarron Richards-Mason Conversion revolver

I am looking at a couple of Taylor 8"ers in 45LC. Just how wimpy a load are we talking here? I am planning on shooting them with full load BP over a 250 gr bullet.
I don't care much for the look of the Remmie or the Navy myself and would prefer the longer grip of the Army.
