[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 2425536, member: 6078"] Not long range, but thought you might like to see it. Found a 480 cylinder the other day so got this project started last night. Lots of finish work yet. Grip frame needs reshaping and haven't decided on sights...kinda like it bobbed tho. Like a "chopper". Probably will grind the hammer a bit. If I cant get it comfortable I'll put bisley kit on it, but I'm going more for light and handy than lotta shooting. Thought I'd hate the blue/stainless mix and planned on nickel plating, but I kinda like it. Haven't decided. Barrel is McGowan 1:10. 3.7" stub from a rifle I built. Reamed the cyl to 1.450 and honed throats to .4755 yesterday. Bubba did the trigger for us before I got the poor thing so that'll need a redo... push on the hammer and it drops. Not great but shouldn't be hard to fix. Gotta clip that trigger too to save my finger. Might bob it way back and clip the guard. Gonna be a handful with full power 525gr cast, so itll probably get fed lots of 275gr.
