Great Video Brother!!!

I have a pair both in Ruger #1

Nice shooting. You mentioned the initial loading of 38 grains and didn't mention any further load data after that. I would be interested in additional info, especially for the 500 gr lump you shot. I have a 45-110 with a 538gr lump that i'm working up loads for. As well, you didn't indicate if they were lead cast, jacket or gas check lumps. Thanks for your vid you posted.

17:00 Funny how my Tisas 1911, a relatively accurate-ish repro of WWI/WWII pistols with the original size ejection port doesnt dent brass at all. My Gold Cup with the lowered and scalloped ejection port would maul brass all to hell.

My first pistol in the late 80s was a series 80 Colt Gold Cup. Had the collet bushing and the trigger activated FP safety both. My worst 1911 lol. Fit and finish was awful. The slide rattled just awful. The bluing was thin all over in places. The Trigger was light, but stagey and awful. I have a $250 Tisa series 70 that's 1000% better. The Elliason sights were held on by a roll pin. The pin would back out after maybe 50 rounds. The first time I shot the gun I looked down and the pin was sticking out of the side of the pistol an inch or so. What an awful gun LOL. Bought in 1988 IIRC.

I've been watching Ken go on about 1911s for over 40 years. Never gets old.

I've never owned a 10mm. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Take care.🇺🇲🌲🔥🔪

ken that 177 shoots great i own a sp-1 i bought in 1979 i still have it thank you

I love my 50 cal Hawken. First gun I ever built. Allways dreamed of a Sharps 45/70 but never had the money. Im 80 yrs old from the Bush of Alaska and the Ozarks. Too old and worn out to stay in the Bush so down in the NE mountains of Washington state now and it sucks. Too dam many people. Used to seeing maybe 2 or 3 people a year. Cept when I'd go to Anchorage in September for supplies. I have never felt free again since I went "outside" ( below 48°) our world is ruined.😢😮😮 Dandahermit

another great video. would you please do a video on the different holster options you've used for your 1911? thanks

I have a Colt made in 1950 that shoots and functions flawlessly today in 2024 alongside my Tisas 1911 B45 model. The value of my 1911 made in 1950 means nothing to me if I cannot shoot it, and I shoot every rifle and pistol I own.

Other sources say Story's rifles were chambered in 50-70. Not a big difference. The key was the rapid firing rifles. Been accumulating them for 50 years.

beautiful rifle Dave. You are a true craftsman.

Have 15 guns in .45colt, single actions, double actions and a lever action.

Thanks! Been thinking about a Sharps

Do you anneal the shells for crimping?

Have you tried a ‘Russian’ reverse duplex load? Same grains of each powder, but load the black first and the smokeless on top??? You may be surprised 🤷‍♂️

Heyy i just got my blackout and could you tell me what the best add ons are for it, can i put a drum on it perhaps

Nice video👍. Sept. 11th and the 308. Both excellent subjects 👏. Enjoy your day.🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥

Thanks for sharing, Dave! What is your sidearm in this vid?

I did miss this one....no Red Bell. I wonder if twisting those springs in a vice would have been easier? I miss branding, but not that calf table type.

Good morning. Good to see ya sir .

Hey, Hey!!! My Red Bell Lit up this time! Very interesting. Yeah, I wounded a deer once with a bad muzzle loader shot couldn't get a second ball loaded with the patch, without the patch, I had a LOT of trouble hitting it again. Finally got him, but I was pretty disgusted!

I have started making my own hollow brass ramrod Mountain man

I use ken waters 4570 loads

Hi Dave glad to see you again no shooting for me for a while Seperated shoulder really bad. So probably a year befor i can shoot my 4590

Hey! Great to see you out and about again! Used to depend on Waters' load data a lot before the moving company "lost" his books. The reprints aren't legible for me. My most favorite cartridge is one of Ned Roberts' creations, the 257, and I've built em for my boys, as well for first rifles. Take 'er easy!

Good Info Dave and I hope your doing great my friend. Good to see Teaspoon out and about. Tkank Slim.

thank you sir great talk good road trip

Thanks Dave, it's been a hot one here the last 4 days.

👍✝️🙏

All brass manufactured is a little different. Rem,Win, Fed, Jamison, Bertram etc case capacities are a few grains different one from another. I never mix brass. I use one and stick with it. With black I fill to base of bullet using a drop tube then compress .100. I have varied compression trying to improve accuracy but normally .100 is the sweet spot for me. That is the fun of working up loads. Trying different things and looking for improvement. Never take chances and be careful and always note what changes you made and why.

I always wondered about this out of my 20inch R92 in .45 colt; thanks for the insight...

Dam for a minute I thought I was watching The Dukes of Hazzard!

Thanks Dave. You have a great week.

Enjoyed it, Dave. Thanks for sharing!

Great to see You post again! We fought with internet provider poor service, and just recently made a switch. Seriously considered Starlink, and the wife had the new one on the way before I could put a word in. I do NOT miss the days branding, inoculation, horning and castrating, not one bit! Stinkin', hot, nasty work, best done from afar! Can ya really put a dent in a ground squirrel population by trapping, or is that just one piece of an overall strategy? Control, or elimination of that colony? Hope all is well with you 'n yours!

thank you sir was a great cup and i love it when you get things dirty

Hey, buckskin Dave! Good to see ya. Are you trapping the ground squirrels to keep the cattle from stepping in the holes?

thanks for the info and the brew sir great to see you sir

excellent sir been wondering what was up glad your ok thanks fir sharing very interesting i know the computer stuff can be a pain in the butt stay safe out there sir

👍👍👍👍

Interresting video Dave. At first I though you were talking about Tree Squirrel then I realized you were traping ground Squirrel, I live back east. Good to see you in a new video and good luck with your computer issues. Thanks Slim.

Roberts also writes about duplex loads in The Muzzle Loading Cap-Lock Rifle.

Mike unfortunately has passed 😢

Dave you are something. …Pa. Native , Vegas super cop for your career, now Idaho . You musta loved Winter !

Hello Dave I was just surfing CZcams and I saw your new video. Glad to see your doing good but I got a little worriod when I saw you on your roof but it looks like a low pitch and not to hard to stand on.I'm glad your up grading your service. Hope to see you in some new videos, Slim.

Pesky beavers!!!

I like the idea of being able to take this with you and have internet almost anywhere. Camping, hunting, whatever. Good to see you back!

You sir are the man. I’m a huge RUM fan. I have the 300 RUM and it’s extremely accurate and loves H1000 and Magpro. I will definitely look into US869. Wasn’t aware it was a slow burner.
