Well heck, you put some rounds down range! Looks good to me. Factory or handloads? Either way, good shooting.

Nice and a new side gator too! Would that be in .357? What load were you shooting in that 45 six shooter?
Good shooting!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

both 45 colt I roll my own, 250gn rnfp, different powders #5,#7 True blue, HP38, Enforcer .... Wanted to see what it liked best so far no favorites, sends them all down range well. About 150 down range, 24 from the 6 shooter, the rest from the big boy

Thanks! I was going by the size of the holes vs. target size. I use Unique and go to Alliant 2400 for the hotter .45 Colt loads in the Rugers.

I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

The joys of reloading

Shoot, pick up, clean, stuff & shoot again. pick up, clean, stuff & shoot again. pick up, clean, stuff & shoot again. pick up, clean, stuff & shoot again. pick up, clean, stuff & shoot again. pick up, clean, stuff & shoot again. pick up, clean, stuff & shoot again.
pick up, clean, stuff & shoot again. pick up, clean, stuff & shoot again. pick up, clean, stuff & shoot again.

A never ending cycle ......... but what fun
