    Almost a year ago I saw this. When you use these old revolvers and flintlocks the trick is to use them. Not range test. Real world action can't be beat. I still hunt with black powder and no modern guns. Its definitely challenging but thats what I love and to know my Confederate ancestors use these just adds to the feeling you get using them. Great video. Snow and them old guns go together. ❤

    From a country boy down in south Georgia, keep it up! Always enjoy watching your videos, in spite of them influencing me to spend money and upset my better half! It was partly because of you that I just purchased a Lee Classic Loader in .45 Colt, and bought my first .45 Colt, an Uberti 1873 Cattleman. Never been around Alabama much, but if they ever run you off, I figure you'll fit right in over here in the great state of Georgia! Keep it up!

      I'm not sorry if I've influenced you to buy great guns and start reloading.... but I'm not a homewrecker, either...heheh.
      I started out with a Lee Classic Loader for .45 Colt as my introduction to reloading metallic cartridges. Reloading is an infectious condition that usually worsens over time.
      It progressed to casting bullets, with me.
      Several lines of my family are from Franklin County, Georgia..Lavonia and Martin areas (Thomas, Vandiver, Cheek, and Walters). I used to spend a week or so a year out there.
      I-85 from Atlanta headed toward SC (through Lavonia) is named for my 1st cousin, twice removed (Gov. Earnest Vandiver, Jr.).

    I LOVE shooting in the snow...especially when the target is a deer. Since I've shot two deer already this fall with more modern weapons, next time out I'm carrying my 1873 Winchester clone with 45 Colt handloads. Haven't decided yet if it will be black powder or smokeless though. BTW, I thought you looked more like Cullen Bohannon after a winter on the snow bound train. By then he was carrying an 1858 Remington, not the Dragoon that Rooster was carrying.

      A full power blackpowder load does recoil more than every "cowboy" factory load I've ever shot. Of course, in a Ruger (or other strong revolver) you can load "+P" pressures in .45 Colt that rival .44 magnum, so those recoil more than a blackpowder load.

Especially when settling usually means damn I'm just not satisfied.
