So I run with this bunch of ruffians on a mostly BP pistol forum that was started due to moderator conflicts and some .......... Well basically the reasons most of us are here . Their a rude ,vulger , sarcastic lot and not really for everyone .
Anyway they have a cool thing they do the first of every month that is an honor system drawing thing . Ya say I'm in get a number then they draw numbers with a random number generator ..... Seems pretty honest so far , it's been running about 5 yr . From time to time someone puts up a second or third prize .
This April fool's I won the 2nd 2nd place custom made holster for the drawing which worked out because I had a naked 58' Remington that needed a place to hang out .
Not my work , not from a commercial maker , and 100% one of a hand made kind although they are from kit holsters .
I think they're pretty cool pieces and probably not something I would do or buy for myself .
Home to a brass 58' Army 44cal and an iron 58' 36 cal .
The brass revolver is typical of these , although the 44 seems to have been bored 44 then rifled to .440 . It .426×.440 with .448 chambers .
With full chambers of ownself screened sweet gum charcoal BP it shoots 890 fps with a .454 RB and delivers groups of 2-3" at 25 and can be held to a salad plate at 50 pretty regular even when it's been shot a lot in a single day . 108 shots at a meet one day as a personal best .
777 @30 gr will clock in at 960 fps .
I never clocked the 36 , in fact I've only shot it a half dozen times . .373 chambered and .365 groove , .375 RB . I recently acquired a Lyman mould that drops a conical and a round ball each pour .
As for business , I don't want to be on the wrong end of it . The 36 will dent 1/4" crs at 25 yd with a chamber scraped flush full of ownself screened powder and puts 6 into 3" if I keep my act together .
