Mykeal,

That's one heck of a collection. On the Rem 44, do 20 grain loads for the brass frame and 30 grain for the steel frame sound about right? Thanks.

mykeal · April 12, 2011, 11:05 AM

Yeah, that's about right. My .44 Remington is best served with 30 gr fffg real black and a lubed felt overpowder wad, and while that's also likely to be closer to the 'best' load for the brass version it would be abuse of the frame in the long run.

Single, but married twice... wasn't very good at it apparently, so it's just me and my daughters running the place now. I seldom drink, don't smoke, and invested wisely.

No, and probably never will. There are over 60 different ones, including the one of a kind presentation models. If you count only those that had 75 or more made, there are still 46 different ones. I'm working for the 46 number. Unfortunately, the ones I still need rarely come up for sale (500 or less made) and/or are very pricey.

ZVP · April 15, 2011, 06:20 PM

Several manufacturers I didn't know and quite a few discontinued or special run models up there!
Thank you for posting those sweethearts!
I just love BP revolvers, they have so much class!
