That's purdy! And man...the octagon barrels are REALLY growing on me! That one looks especially...well, perfect for that build!

I appreciate all the positive comments. A few have asked why I retained the Aluminum Gripframe and ERH. Answer is to cut 8 oz of weight.
I did ask Gary for the altered "Gunfighter" alteration. It fits the hand better and my preference in barrels 6" and under.

I like Mr. Reeder! Heckuva nice guy!
One day I want one of his guns since he is the only Ruger smith I’ve met in person.
That would be a good choice!

Have been working this gun out for a few days.
My intent was to use this gun for heavy for caliber cast bullets. Mainly the 85 grain Missouri Coated Bullets.
1680 has proven to be the accuracy champ for powders.
I won't post velocity or load data, but expectations have been exceeded. Accuracy is running about 1" at 25 yards.
Set Back issues have not occurred at all. I even left Imperial Sizing Wax on five and not a one set back.
