Part of the reason I started shooting black powder was simply due to the fact that I wanted a .45 revolver, but I didn't NEED one. I don't have the time or space to reload ammo. However, I like the big ol' holes a .45 makes on paper. I didn't like the price of .45 Colt ammo for a gun that was primarily for fun.

Enter Holy Black

Lotta smoke/flash/boom for very little cash. Now that I'm set up for casting, I'll only be out the cost of powder and caps which I can get locally (no hazmat charge).

I do plan on getting into reloading one day. I like shooting more calibers than 9mm and .22

However, for my needs these days, a couple hours with a melting pot is about all I can muster.
