So you out of bullets...powder and primers but you want to target shoot with your .45 Colt SA revolver?

Well lets see just how accurate a 28 gr. piece of wood riding on rubber O-rings can be from 7 yds. powered by a Magnum shotgun primer.
While I had my 1858 Remington revolver out today we did just that! Result rivals what a 250 gr. slug with powder might do if you are on your game! :o

Forty, that has to be the most down-home way to keep shooting I've ever seen. Just amazing. Good for you.

Yep I have plenty of shotgun primers and the local Home Depot has plenty of hardwood dowel and O-rings!
Looks like ol' Remmie likes the load too! :lol:
