    Yaaaaaaay!

    Out to the range with the .44 Remmy. 23gns of FFFg behind a greased wad and a .454 round ball.

    Pulled the trigger and there was a great flash and the smoke alarms went off. The grin factor on shooting one of these revolvers is off the scale.

    In the days of the "good old wild west", if you didn't get your man with the first shot you must have had to wait for the smoke clearing to have another go.
    The biggest problem facing this country today is not the terrorist. It's the politician.

    I know what you mean!
    The first shot with my mate's .577 was a completely different experience. I felt like Josey Whales!
