I have my great grandfathers model 80 that was passed down to me. It hardly ever gets shot mostly lives in the safe. Sometimes for memory sakes I get it out and clean it. It got me to thinking more about the history of the gun but there’s not much info out there that I can find. All I know is...

ugly sauce I hope you cleaned that bulldog:rofl:

what he said! Thanks so much beeenbag!

I seen a video on YouTube the other day about the Buffalo bore hardcast ammo and it got me to thinking, how does it stack up against underwood? Has anybody tested them head to head to see maybe if one hardcast will penetrate more than the other? Is one softer than the other? This isnt a caliber...

If you just simply want a range toy you can’t beat the price for the Taurus. Probably the best bang for your buck gun out there. In the past Taurus had a bad reputation but I’ll say they have came along way. In the gun world a bad reputation is a rain cloud that will hover and follow you...

I have the Taurus G3 and it’s been a great gun I’ve had zero issues. All the reviews I’ve read and seen with the tactical version have been good.

I bet your the first person to ever wet form a cap and ball revolver loaded! :what: I like it my kind of style! Let’s see the ole R&S in the holster

sauce your right on, I’m getting the same thing. Filled my volume measure to 50 gr and on my digital scale it was 46.9

I was curious as to how much the cylinders would hold, so I filled each chamber completely full to the top and it held 50 gr by volume. I can get 45 gr with a ball only and 40 gr with a wad between powder and ball. 25 gr is hard to load I almost need a filler the rammer will just barley compress...

correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve always heard goex is the dirtiest and weakest of all the real black powder?

I’ve never shot it before, I was curious myself. I’ve asked the same question and what I got was it’s a tad bit cleaner shooting and a tad bit hotter. Yes it is true black powder not a substitute. As far as goex not being made anymore I’m not sure. Goex was bought out by another company(I can’t...

I guarantee for a cap and ball, that is a mountain load! With my pietta nma i shoot 40gr of goex at 15-20 yards with very similar results. This target is a 6x6 piece of paper and they all hit just a little low. The one shot in the upper right corner is not a flyer. That was a 25gr load which is...

Good shooting ugly sauce! 40 gr of Swiss is definitely a stout load. With that heavy of a charge that’s a good group.

Beautiful rifle hawg! I know your proud of it!

I read this book not too long ago. Killing the grizzly with a 22 was the highlight of the book!
