Ruger #1 Love

I think I only cycled a Ruger# 1 action once in my life; it was an esoteric experience, as I recall. I felt like that was in a US Abrams tank. For those of you that don’t know, the falling block action is almost identical to modern US Army tanks. No BS; I’m a retired Army veteran

it’s a strange action... like loading torpedo and wedging a bar of metal to keep it locked up

And I am not aware of a stronger action. The falling block action is even used in those massive Navy guns! IMO, the barrel will give out before those #1 actions will fail

Survived my early efforts at hot-rodding as a new reloader. 400 grain remingtons at over 2200fps. And no that is not recommended. Wasn't recoil that made me wise up, it was the funny looking brass I was ejecting.

Ah, the 80's,...

I have not chrono it yet... because why bother, it just hurts

405gn hard cast over 42gn of IMR-4198

It hurt so bad after 10 shots

Nope! “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”! I have CVA Single Shots. Can’t afford a Ruger, but my 45-70’s are accurate, and get the job done!

always be proud of what you have! there will always be someone with more!

some people like fancy trucks and big mud tires. I like fancy guns! and, my last truck was a f-150 2004 2x4 with 260,000miles! love that old truck
