I do plan to put a scout scope or dot on mine because I want to make it as functional and useful as possible and while it might look better without it is of much more use to me with.
I have to say it has a couple imperfections but overall I am very happy with it. I am still awaiting the true moment of truth when I hit the range with it but it feels great in hand and is every bit the equal of the Ruglins I have handled. The stock fit is the biggest flaw I see
I have just purchased a new on but it does not have the tube load option only the side gate. I have not shot it yet but it is a nice little rifle. The 454C loads I have are about .030 -.050 too long to fit in the gate but cycle when I drop them into the action, it is the MP 340 bullet.
When the primers flowed out of the factory I would load and shoot 100-200 big bore pistol a week so not a high volume shooter. I love the Lee Classic Turret all I need and I have had good luck with the priming system on it as well. I like the auto advance too, you just have to make sure to do...
With the 429421 cast out of ww my results were 1339 es 12 sd 5 using 20 grains of Hercules 2400 & 1378 es 22 sd 9 using 21 grains of Hercules 2400 both with Winchester primers in a 7.5” Super Blackhawk.
I will have to say the BFR Bisley grip is wonderful for heavy recoil, large hands and user friendliness as it does not bite my knuckles even with potent loads. I was getting and have a small knot on my middle finger from the Ruger Bisley grip with much more sedate loads.
I have decided to start putting Ultradot tube sights and a scope on my 454 for all my hunting and iron sights for range toys ( easier to shoot long range with) and laser sights on home/self defense. Saying that one helps the other can’t say, but I do know that it helps with lessening eye sight...
Like all things carry the one you like best, for deer and like there is not enough difference to make a difference. I settled on a .270 years ago and Sold or traded off all my bigger rifles. I have had to do some tracking but usually not far I have had many more bang/flops than tracking. I...
I am shooting some Hercules 2400 that was not kept climate controlled and was purchased in the early 80’s, 8 pounds in a cardboard cylinder and was given to me and shoots great.
I have shot to 200 several times, the guy I shoot with some talked me into it and it was a lot of fun. It really helps to have a spotter though and for me I need a rest to hit about as much as he hits freehand.
I found that a good tight pair of deerskin gloves to be great. When I shoot down here in Alabama in the middle of summer my everything sweats and the gloves are great for grip.
Were I to be starting today I would get the BFR Bisley in all my single action guns. I know they are a tad heavier but for my hand size that grip frame is awesome. With the revolver itself you can feed it anything within sane levels.
