Belonged to a friend of mine. We went to Africa together last year and he's going back again in April.
Lots of auxiliary cylinders can added to that one. 38-40, 401 GNR, 40 S&W and 10mm Magnum for starters.

Not too many OM 10mm's around.
I'll be surprised if Joe can hit anything with it.

I went to the farm this morning and dug out some 401 powermag ammo. The orig ammo wouldn't even come close to loading probably because the lead was so swollen. I did find a couple pieces of brass that had been resized and deprimed. It lacked about 1/8" of fully seating. I had to feed the horses and be at work this morning so I don't know what gun it was fired in or what dies I used to deprime it. At one time I was using 10mm dies and resizing was not always completely reliable. I guess the 1960's brass may be a little old and springy. I did pick up a set of herters dies on a few years back and had much better results. Gonna play with this a little more this weekend.
I did pick up someones extra buckeye special 10mm cylinder on the ruger forum a few months back. I intended to make it into a 10mm MAG or 401 powermag for my buckey. This may give me another option if the buckeye would fit the old model. Just thinking out loud.

Not sure if ya built it on a 357 or larger OM frame, if larger it may fit, it will be to large for 357 frame.

I play with both 401 Powermag ( cases made from 41 magnum cases ) & 10mm Magnum ( starline made cases for the Automag 4... the only factory offering that I'm aware of... I have one ) I also converted a S&W ( sorry, have a head cold & a mental block on the model number right now ) umm... converted a S&W 610 to shoot 10mm magnum & 10mm with moon clips I'm also making 10mm Rimmed cases from 41 Special cases for the 10mm Rimmed GP-100 I'm having built right now While I've never had bullet creep issues with 10 Mag, but, I don't push it beyond it's limits... the 401 Powermag & 10mm Magnum are nearly the same cartridge, except the 401 is rimmed, & of course since it headspaces on the rim, it can be roll crimped, instead of just taper crimped like the 10mm Magnum  401 Powermag cases...  Automag 4... 3rd one down... in 10mm Magnum  |

looks like a pretty handy gun. About 25 years ago a friend had Bowen do a 10mm on an old model that was great fun and shot very well.

Am I the only guy who at initial glimpse found that dog photo to be a bit disturbing? Probably so.

VERY nice gun...
I have one 10mm revolver which is a GP-100 MC...really wish that Starline would make AR brass for it... Guess a bunch of people have asked but so far nothing.
