<<The pain of loading 7.62x54R ammo prevented me from following through though. >> He's more into the collecting rather than the shooting although he will buy small lots of ammo and shoot them a little. I'd want some pretty light loads for a gun 120 years old. Most of the guns have grown some extra head space. He's got a 43 caliber something he hasn't found ammo for. I couldn't believe what some of the prices are on those old guns. They really have jumped in the last ten years. <<Shame about the porting. I like my handguns, even the boomers, unported. A tad more recoil, sure, but not as awfully loud. >> In the case of the .454 it came ported. He says instead of jumping it comes straight back and does so even with a two handed grip. The hammer has nailed him even with the porting. He's 6'2" and about 250. The kind of a guy who thinks a day splitting wood is relaxing.
