    let's now compare the 45 long colt to the 44 and 41 mags as far as hunting whitetail deer and hogs anyone used these I would appreciate your input I think I have ruled out the 454 and 480 just too expensive it seems, I want adjustable sights so I am thinking blackhawk

    after nearly 30 yrs away from black powder shooting, it seems i will be shooting the smoke sticks again.
    my questions are, is there a real advantage to useing the black powder substitute,(i think it was called pyrodex or something like that) and is hopps #9 still agood bet for a good cleaning?
    thanks in advance

    I may have an porotunity to buy this Ruger pj97dc with 220 rounds ammo, soft carry case, holster and such for $350. It is most definatly used but in the pictures (that is the only way I have seen it so far) but does not look abused.

    My blue book shows NIB $460, 80% - $215

    Should I jump on it or try to talk them down more? They have allready admited they need the money. I found it as a private party sale on the net and would most definatly need to run the numbers on the gun to make sure it is not stolen as I do not know the people.

    If you shoot 4 different powders at a grain less than max with the same bullet how do you sort what loads to continue the process of load development?

    Seems just slightly hig for the money but if everything is included?? Possibly worth it.

    Well it has that type of money tied up in parts, but parts do not make the value of the rifle. Call me an old traditionalist, but I do not care for that stock and it looks as if it is very uncomfortable to shoot. If the seller included the original stock it would help the value of the sale.

    You can "make" the same rifle yourself! Buy a M1A and abunch of add-on parts, you'd probably save yourself about $1000. Then when you go to sell it, you can call it a "CIA sniper rifle"! I'm sure there's some fool that would buy it. *L*

    The price he gets for the rifle will not be equal to the sum of the cost of the parts.

    You can spend $2500 haveing a $350 revolver engraved too, but you will not be able to sell it for $2850.

    I saw it before it ended and thought it was a bit over priced. I thought the stock was horrible as well
