Re: Mystery solved or I’m not that bright
I wasn't going to bring this up but ol #7 breached the subject. Buddy of mines brother was in the Army, before he went in he bought a 67 F100 he was planning to restore after his hitch was up. It started by shooting at the mirrors from long range with 22s, that evolved into high power stuff, shotgun...

Re: Mystery solved or I’m not that bright

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.

Re: An old experiment that I need to get back to
Well Scott make this your backup gun
I'll have to give these 250gr cast a closer look to see if they are a Keith or not. I got a shipping tote full of bullets, supplies, brass years ago from a widow. In it was a couple hundred of these as well as a bunch of 158s for 338/357.

Funny thing is I remember getting a model 10 and the PPC barrel but I have no idea where the revolver went... must have traded it off.
