Well done. Good thing there wasn't more recoil. Might have ... er... planted you in the pile so to speak.

Not much recoil at all. I love shooting black powder in it.

If it wasn't such a pain, I'd shoot bp only but the Rossi 92 doesn't fare well with it. I may try 3f next.

Hope you didn't eat corn the night before or we'll have to turn you in for hunting over bait! First deer with not only an iron sighted revolver, but a fixed sighted wheelgun! Wow! Great job! Anything taken with a sixgun is a trophy! As Sixshot says, he'd rather shoot a grasshopper with a sixgun than a trophy bull elk with a rifle.

Thanks Hoover. I actually surprised myself as fast as I drew and fired. Now I have to find a Williams stainless bisley in 45 Colt to hunt with.

A fixed sight six gun and black powder load in a 45 Colt! Now THAT is a true trophy.
Congratulations!

That bullet nose shape and weight is almost a dead ringer for Elmer Keiths black powder 45 colt bullet which predated his SWC. Next year I'll try these. Should do the job.These come out to 266gr. And fill the cylinder.

Mike454, is that in Sixguns? My copy is about worn out and I didn't see that.
