My weekly ML shooting sessions have been taken over by a new passion/obsession. Will it ever take the #1 spot over my muzzleloaders, no, but I am having a blast right now. Me and my father in law have both always wanted a hunting revolver. We decided this was the year, and thought wouldn't it be cool if we could find a pair in sequential serial numbers. I went to my favorite gun shop and he told me the request was like a needle in a hay stack. I said that's fine if it takes a couple years we can wait. Well he called me a few days later and had 2 Ruger Super Redhawks in .44 mag on there way! I did all the research on calibers and am now glad I went with the .44, it has about the perfect balance of recoil and power. I have been busy reloading. Working up plinking loads with 200 grain LRNFP bullets and using an 8lb jug of WSF I have had for years. Reload cost is pennies per shot. I think I have a little over 500 rounds through it already. Just cant get enough. I also added a UltraDot 30mm red dot sight, love that as well. All the positive things I read online are absolutely true about the ultradot.
Next step is to make up some bear loads with some 300 grain hardcasts and then some deer loads with some 270 deep curls I bought from Ron. Here is some pics.
Also made a gong for more fun!
