Shooting my stock Ruger Mini14 with iron sights at 12" steel target 300 yards away. The target is up the hill a little past the two trees. Hit 3 for 3. Thanks for ...
I love the .41 mag,been reloading it since I bought a S&W model 58 in the
early '70's. That's the fixed sight N-frame,four inch barrel police service
model. Paid $107.95 plus tax,brand new,at a combination barber shop and gun
store,in central PA. Ah,the good old days. Has your three-screw been
converted to the transfer bar system? Looks like it has,but hard to tell
from the vids.
will shoot my smith 57 tomorrow, just picked it up, had to wait 30 days for
gun to clear, ya no California ignorant laws, well original owner never
fired it, not a mark on it, dealer gave me an excellent price she got a
bargain on purchase and when she posted the price I told her she was insane
that was half of what the market price was, well I paid somewhat less than
market but more than her original quoted price I got a good deal and so did
she, had old rugers but have allowed her to auction off for charity over
the years, prefer shooting double action especially 4 inch and less, yes
have ruger sp101, gp100 in all barrel length except 6 inch, have my eyes on
a couple more, love the strength of the ruger lock up.
+George Clark Wow...an unfired S&W Model 57....I'm jealous. I also prefer 4 inch barrels on my revolvers, although I love my S&W 586 with a six inch barrel. My favorite revolver is a 4 inch Ruger Secuirty Six which I've had for over 30 years. Really, a 30 day wait in California?
+MrSottobanco I also like Mt. Dew and I'm happy to tell you that the bottle I shot was expired. I will try to refrain from shooting Mt. Dew in the future and I'll stick to diet soda. Thanks for watching my video.
At the shop I go to the most, my Black Powder guy is oogling a .41 Super
Blackhawk they have in the case. Looks like this gun but has the transfer
bar safety so it's not as classic. I made him mad when he handed it to me
and I said I might buy it lol. I still think I prefer either .357 or .44
Magnum to a .41, but still very cool gun and cool guy shooting it.
vulpixgrant....personally I would also prefer a .44 magnum. Unfortunately .41 magnum ammo and reloading supplies (bullets) are extremely hard to find right now.
They replicate the Colt SAA.,to a degree as far as wieght and size. I think from what I have seen from your video's you would appreciate the size and balance. Cheers
yevgenz....I live at an altitude of 6435 feet above sea level. We usually get snow from October until April, and sometimes in May. We have very long, cold winters here in northern Nevada.
I love my New Model. What a flat shooting pistol! Far superior to the 10mm
and .357 magnum. I do reload for it but I have found some rounds for it
that rock. I can't afford to shoot it much but when I do it's a blast!
Dang.. I know how that is brother. I had to sell my .357 Blackhawk too. It was a new model. I have a thing for the "old" model, but couldn't find a used one at the time. It was a shooter.. consistent and very accurate. I was real happy with it. That was the only gun I ever shot rapid fire, like the T.V. cowboys did it.. bap.. bap.. bap.. bap.. bap.. bap! Fun Gun! Every gun person should own a Ruger Blackhawk.
I bought my first Blackhawk (357) in 1980 and had to sell it two years later when I got laid off from work. It was the most accurate handgun I've ever owned. Wish I could get that one back. As always thanks for watching, my friend.
Old Model Ruger Super Blackhawk- Shoot It Or Not?- To pr3ban
This is a VR to pr3ban who just purchased a 1972 made Ruger Super Blackhawk - one of the last 3 screw Old Models. Since it has collector status, should he ...
Yeah dude, SHOOT it for SURE!!!
It was MADE to be USED!!!
Don't disrespect the gun nor the people who worked hard to produce it by
NOT actually USING it okay?
Great video anyways, and I Love Watching you show off your nice firearms ...
I've Subbed you.
btw, RUGERS seem to only get better and better with age and use. haha
That's a nice old three screw. Has it been converted to the transfer bar
system? I remember back in the day Ruger had a huge recall of all their
single actions after they lost a lawsuit. Seems some doofus shot himself in
the leg because he had a round under the hammer,so Ruger wanted to convert
everything to the safer (read: idiot proof) system. To find an unconverted
three-screw these days is a rarity,and probably worth more.
+Citizen Rico Ruger even sent me a box to send the gun back for conversion - they even said they would return all the parts so that my gun could be converted back to the non transfer bar later if I desired. I happened to like my old gun kept the way it was. One of my long time friends has a SBH and BH old 3 screws as well and never converted his either. Thanks for posting your comment...Best to ya!!
+thevansmack Now of course a Colt SAA in good condition from the 1880s would command a huge price tag. The 3 screw Rugers are only 60 years old at most. Give 'em time -- there will come a day... Best to ya
"cards are expensive so I just shoot on each side of them?" huh, can you
sell that?
youtube goofed me up so I'm using a different account, still the same
marcinstl.
I was at the gun store and happened to look in the Ruger case and there,
hiding amongst the Blackhawks was a .327 Single Seven. had to do a
double/triple take, never saw one before. long story short, this is my new
bigfungun, shoots .32acp, .32 S&W long, .32 H&R, and the .327mag. power
of the .327mag is right behind the .357mag, the recoil is like a moderate
.38spl. .32acp feels like .22CB's.
after shooting a lot of plastic carry guns it sure is a pleasure to shoot a
precision piece of Ruger stainless steel.
naz dagg - always good to hear from marcinstl, even with your new YT handle - and yes, Google seems to do their best to foul up our accounts...sometimes I find out I've replied with a different account, and I did nothing to get that...makes you want to bite a bullet (not quite). Congrats on getting your 7 shooter 32 cal Ruger. And what fun that's going to be!! Lee makes three great bullet molds for your gun from 90-100 grains in RN, SWC and RNFP persuasion. Good shootin' to ya
shoot it, shoot the hell out it! last week I was talking with a shootin
buddy of mine and I was telling him when I go I have no one to pass my guns
to who would really appreciate them. I am 40 and I believe I am the last
generation of shooters who appreciate nice guns. for example, I have a
Ruger Blackhawk in every caliber made, that I know of. including the
Buckeye special in 10mm, I hunt with a Marlin 35 Rem. just seems like all
people want today are Glocks and AR's. I have step kids and nephews but all
they seem to do is play minecraft. they do like shooting, for about 10 min,
then back to video games. so I say shoot your guns and enjoy them. I still
shoot my old 32 Savage and my Destroyer carbine 9mm Largo. I'm afraid long
after I'm gone nobody will even care to know what the value of my old LAR
45 win mag, Ruger 357 Maximums. so I am going to shoot and enjoy everthing
in my collection and hopefully when the kids get older at least one or two
of them have enough interest to hold on to them and not pawn them off for
1% of there value. hopefully I am wrong and people actually realize that
Glocks and AR's are just a fad and there are many other great guns out
there to enjoy.
+jeremy74pow I'm with you 100%, and will soon be doing a video on the sporting use of guns, but I like the way you say it - "shoot your guns and enjoy them". Have a great day
FC,
A question from outfield regarding pistol ammo that requires roll crimping.
Do you trim your pistol brass in the reloading process for brass needing
to be crimped?
I was reading through my RCBS 357 die instructions and it states to trim if
roll crimping to ensure proper crimp die setup and amount of crimp. Just
like one would do for rifle.
What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance FC.
Wow FC, I HAD NO IDEA!!! Thank you for that TIME SAVING info. I've learned and continue to learn something from each of your video's and chat. Thank you for taking time to reply. Very best to ya my most knowledgeable friend.
Dave K - Yes, it is true that all your brass the same length will give you the identical crimps. But an interesting phenomena - unlike bottleneck cases requiring an expanding button that drags against the inside of the bottleneck or brass flow from 60,000 PSI against the bottleneck, straight wall pistol casings do not elongate either in firing or during reloading cycles. If you shoot brass that was originally loaded into ammo by factories, they trimmed that brass for you to spec before they loaded it, and that brass doesn't lengthen as you shoot it - ever. So why trim your straight cases unless you want to spend your time to no profit. If you are trying to load 1/4 MOA ammo, yes. But your pistol ammo is very very fine if it shoots 2" at 50 yards/ 1" at 25 yards (4 MOA) - you just have no practical reason whatsoever to trim your brass. Of course RCBS tells you to trim - sells trimming tools and you can go crazy trying to find the perfect trimmers. I have not trimmed a single straight wall pistol cartridge case in over 40 years of consistent and regular shooting including competition and competition practice during a lot of those years. It is still common practice for me to load 1000-1500 rounds in my casting projects. Nice to have all that ammo, but then I start shooting it, and it goes down fast. No trimming, no primer pocket cleaning, no mouth chamfering, no primer pocket uniforming, no flash hole deburring - just not needed. Now rifle is a different subject...you need the trimmers and all the other stuff... Best Regards
Is the smoke we see in the video from your reloads? If so, what powder
were you using? The bluing on your SBH is superior to that on my 1982
vintage New Model SBH.
MrTaco250 - Wish you could see the bluing in real life - The Ruger bluing on the Old Model SBHs was the best bluing Ruger ever did and it rivaled S & W and Colt. All that matte stuff today may be as functional, but doesn't compare in lustrous beauty. Best Regards
MrTaco250 - I was surprised myself how much smoke I was getting - I don't recall ever getting that much smoke with my Promo powder reloads - it may very well be the extra alox that I put in the 45/45/10 since those loads were going to be shot in my Marlin 1894 carbine as well. With Herco powder, there is more smoke from the powder. If the smoke was a little worse, it might have been mistaken for black powder...That would not be good for any kind of competition shooting, but for range shooting, it really only caused slower shooting. That's OK as we can't do rapid fire anyway...Best to ya...and congrats on noticing that....
spraynpray - Hanging in a case at the range is a Ruger SBH with the top three cylinders and top strap blown out - probably from use of wrong powder or overcharged case. Sounds like your friend just needs a new cylinder...Best to ya
Shooting Guns With my Brother NEW Ruger SRc9mm, 1911 .45ACP, Mini-14
My buddy is interested in getting a 1911 .45. How did you like it? I've
been looking at the Kimber .45 myself. Cool guns dude. Duel wielding them
bitches fuahhh
hmm so it is sighted dead on at 100 yards, but shoots a little high at 200
yards, and dead on at 300 your farther in law is delusional(look in any
reloading book in the back at the drop tables) or you are lying to be dead
on at 300 yards it must be 3 to 3 1/2 inches high at 100 yards,(depending
on load) 4 inches high at 200, to be dead on at 300 yards, my Ruger M-77
270 is sighted in dead on at 300 with a load of H-1000,a CCI 250 Magnum
primer, and a Nosler Partition, this will chronograph at 3100 fps, and will
shoot 1/2 moa at 100 yards, this is a brand of rifle I like very much
because they still rely on the Mauser extractor, which is a plus, for
handloaders, in my honest opinion Winchester made a big Mistake when they
went the way of the Remington, as of now I own three Ruger rifles a 22-250,
270, 338 Win Mag,the last two have Timmney triggers installed and plan on
getting another M-77 in 270 as long as it is still in the pawnshop where I
seen it
