I remember when Glenn suggested I use my Texas Longhorn Arms #5 in the field cause I told him how Bill Grover said "I hope you use it for what is was made" when I ordered one from him at the old YO.... Anyway, I found this photo and never realized just how big a boar I shot with my #5. The gun is in 45 Colt and I used a 300gr cast bullet I got from a friend of Dick Casull that shot pretty good from the TLA...this is the bullet I used............

Now that’s a big swinester! Those TLA’s are some neat revolvers.

Big piggy!
That bullet is the FA mold made by Lyman isnt it?
I cant remember the #…. They’re purdy.
Are Ruger only loads safe in the TLAs?

When a piece inside let go I talked to Bill and he had me send the gun to Keith DeHart who heat treated and repaired. Keith mentioned he wanted to switch the grips with some pallet plywood to use on his gun...
