Ruger Blackhawk .357 Maximum 00018, with Powder Coat cast 187 WFN GC over 22/H110 in Remington brass, Rem rifle primer. Bullets made with TLC by Tank Hoover. Going in cold against thrown water jugs @ 15-degrees fahrenheit.
To “engage,” water jug must cross horizon line to assure bullet goes to ground. Traditional aerial shooting involves filling the sky full of bullet holes. Fire discipline introduces background “noise,” while at once forcing the shot into a narrow window.
.357 187 WFN GC, powder coated, explodes flying jug into a cloud of frozen mist as 10-1/2” barrel sweeps down in follow through.
The Ruger Maximum slammed right-on from the first shot. Whether asleep or bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, a beautiful revolver. While sighting is critical, pointing is equally so. The sequence: Point, Aim, Follow Through. Sometimes you ask Did I see the sights? And the Mind just smiles. The old Dragoon grip is no slouch.
357 Maximum with Powder Coat 187 WFN GC over 22/H110 flushes another water jug. Notice, despite muzzle rise...
Revolver pitches downward on follow through.
Even with a light, very clean breaking trigger, gloves are a must. Unless, perhaps, you were born on the Arctic Circle. Lined deerskin gloves must fit, yet not too tight. Treated new with hot mix of mineral oil & beeswax.
