I've been trying the last few years to winnow down the number of cartridges I have guns chambered in. For the most part I've been pretty successful, even moving away from good guns and cartridges like a Bowen .475 and a Ruger drift sight 32 bisley. I've pretty much settled on reloading for 38 special, 45 ACP, 45 Colt, and 500 Linebaugh.
Needless to say, a gun has to be pretty special to get me to bring another cartridge into the house. Things like Elmer Keith's 338/378 KT and a Bowen Best Quality 50 special have made the cut. One more, enabled by my new best friend Kings6, recently found a home here.
The first time I saw it was in a gunbroker auction a year or so ago. I ran it up to pretty close to what it went for. I saw it for sale again a few months back and, being short on cash, offered some trades which weren't enough to seal the deal. Robb had better luck than I did and I asked him to let me know if he ever wanted to move it. A few months later and I've made room in the safe for the first 41 magnum I've ever owned.
The carved ivory grips are by Persinger, the rest is by Harton.
