This gun has actually been finished for some time- but all my attempts to load proper ammo for it... well, let's just say they were not what one would hope for. Heel-based bullets have problems, and I tried everything but the right solution to solve them. Finally caved and bought a custom collet-crimp die from Old West Bullet molds and tried it out. Works a treat- and the ability to load proper ammo disposed of the niggling feeling that the gun wasn't really finished.
Off to the range later this week to test it out, but I'm pretty confident it will be fine. That's good news, because I have at least one- possibly two- .44 Colt projects coming up. In the meantime I finally get to properly enjoy this one!
