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!

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.

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
