Took along three .45LC tools.

Henry Big Boy - I can shoot this rifle with good accuracy. Same as my Winchester 73. I am sure it has a lot to do with the sight picture that my old eyes see.

Stainless steel Cattleman 7 1/2 from Taylors. Another nice shooter. No problems and fun to shoot.

Also took along my Mitchell Arms Cattleman 4 1/2 but this pistol has a problem. After every shot it locks up. Have to remove the cylinder to free it up. I am going to pull it apart to see what I can see.

Wife actually went along and more amazingly took a coupla shots with a Luger and a Model 92.

She decided she doesn't like it which I completely understand.

One of the things I was testing is the crimp on these .45LC rounds. I took along two different rounds in which the only difference was the crimp. One light and one heavy. I did not chrony these rounds but apart from speed I saw no difference in performance.
