Fate

Post by perry owens »

I have a yearning for a Uberti Burgess but here in the UK they are only available in .45 Colt and I have never thought much of that as a black powder rifle cartridge and I don't have anything chambered in it.
Yesterday a friend called and said that he was giving up shooting for health reasons and wanted to give me some "stuff".
Here's what I collected today
Image
400 rounds of loaded .45 Colt, hundreds of Winchester and Remington .45Colt brass, a Dillon 450 set up for .45 Colt.
Something is telling me it's time to give .45 Colt a fair trial.
Orderd the Burgess today.

Perry,

The .45 Colt isn't as bad as it would seem. Mater of fact it's lot of fun from rifles when you get to the load they like.

Looks like your friend made the choice for you. Too bad about his health though.

Man, you fell in to a treasure trove there! The .45 never was an old-time rifle cartrdge, mainly dues to the fact that the old cases had mighty small rims, I think. But new brass is not similarly afflicted, and it makes a great rifle/carbine round today, especially for a handloader.
