I’ve been loading for and shooting the .45 Colt in a Ruger Blackhawk for nearly 30 years. And I’ve always wanted a S&W revolver chambered in this cartridge. So I finally bought one. It’s a factory new M25-15, which has the tapered 6-1/2” barrel and nice wood target stocks. I don’t intend to...

We shot subguns last weekend. Fun match.

So I was looking through the thread here posted by @Toprudder. Just curious if any additional development work on the .429 DE has taken place, as that discussion is nearly two years old. I contacted Hodgdon to see if they had done any load development, but they said they had not. They did not...

I have a handful of Ruger Blackhawk revolvers in various calibers. I bought a couple of them new, but most were used when I bought them. A couple of the used revolvers have obviously had some work done to improve the trigger, resulting in an excellent, crisp release. Some of the others have...

I have had a .30 Carbine Blackhawk for a couple years now. I also have a Single Six in .32 H&R as well as a couple handguns in .32 ACP. I always thought it kind of a hassle to stock bullets in both .308 and .312 in essentially the same weight class. It seems that .004" difference is just...

So I recently bought another Blackhawk. After watching for a long time, I found a Buckeye Blackhawk .38-40 / 10mm for what I thought was a reasonable price. It was a used gun, and came with some aftermarket grips. They appear to be Hogue Fancy Hardwood grips. They looked ok but still kind of...

I bought a used Blackhawk in .30 Carbine a few months ago. Having fun working up loads for it. Overall, it's a nice, accurate revolver. It seems to reach out and hit my steel targets at farther distances than most of my other revolvers. The issue I've had is that it seems to produce a high...

So I recently found a .38-40 / 10mm Buckeye Blackhawk for a price that I didn't consider to be excessive. I've been reloading a lot of calibers for a lot of years, but this is the first time I've loaded the .38-40. I've been having a tough time getting that one to shoot very well at all. In...

I brought home up a Blackhawk 10mm/.40 today, just for something different to play with. I was able to put a few rounds through it this afternoon, but not a lot. Weather wasn't cooperating. The .40s shot nice and soft, and full-power 10mm was quite comfortable. I don't want to try to turn...
