What's your Custom Plans for 2021?
Thought long and hard as to whether or not to put this in the "Single Actions" Category. But, figure most plans will be for Single Actions...
Mine are...
1) Midframe Flattop 45 Auto Rim...
2) Recreating The Matthes Lion Hunter, but in 32-20...
3) Midframe Flattop 5-Shot in 44-40 WCF...
Base guns ship end of this month...

I'd really like to find a base N frame gun to send over to JRH for his 475 Special conversion next year.

Have my Max Bisley'd with a RDW brass GF, along with a soup to nuts tune & tighten. Concurrently, I'll have my 6.5" .357 Blackhawk SBH'd with the Max's take-off parts, as well as tuned & a better front sight fitted.

That's really nice and Jack builds great guns. I'd asked him to build me a 475 Special on a Midframe Flattop Bisley. In the end, he talked me into doing the gun in 480 Ruger. It was clearly the right call.
I hope you get this gun built and share the results...

Those N frames keep going up in price so I just need to buy one before they are completely out of sight. I'm watching a few on GB now.
I have one of the Mihec 640-477 Light moulds that runs 325 with the large hp up to 350 grains as a solid. I have the large mould, too, and run that bullet in 480 Ruger. I really like the profile. I thought the Barnes all copper XPB bullets at 275 grains would be a great self defense load and would even do well with small to medium deer. Same thing goes for a 325 powder coat Mihec bullet with the large hp.
I see from the picture that Jack must have cut the barrel down on that example... it doesn't have the high, ramped front sight of the Model 29, 629, 57, 657...

Speer makes a 275 grn too... I saw that, but wondered if it wasn't designed to open up at higher velocity. Speer 14 shows data up to 1695 fps! But they also have loads with VV350 and Unique that run 1205/1275 fps. |
