Re: Ultra Long Range 22LR ammo
Yes Bill, that's why I said " primer pocket" rimfire. It didn't shoot for beans out of any gun I tried them in, Rugers, Remingtons , even a 50s era 40x and a 40s vintage model 52!

Re: Howdy Ya'll!
Yes, the loading area had to be opened up enough for a 44 rim and I'll see about getting a few more pic for you... If I remember this afternoon when I get home.
With the material removed from the floor and top strap I'm sure it is still safe for warm loads but I don't chance it with hot stuff.

One question keeps going through my mind, what happened to the receiver?
If it was damaged what about the barrels - I'd expect those to be damaged as well.
Or did someone decide to build a custom gun out of it?

Re: Just one Blackhawk
Well, I have to say my 41, 4⁵/⁸. Why that particular one? Because I already own it.
I had a 7.5 SBH in 44 mag, between the squared off trigger guard and the obnoxious recoil of full house I traded for a K22. The SBH became a 22K-hornet.
