That is one sweet set up Bawanna!!!!! I have been thinking about getting into the cartridge black powder shooting, been looking at the .38 and .40 offerings. It would be a hoot to reload for, the initial price for the rifle is what keeps me from pulling the pin. Getting old and miserly.

Yeah, there's a manufacturer where I got some 45/70. They have Trapdoor loads which are very light, then Goldilocks which are slightly more powerful but not full power, and then the big stuff for modern stuff.
I got some of each so we'll see which works best without too much punishment.

I was able to shoot the Quigley like rifle today finally for the first time. Great fun. Didn't shoot much half a dozen rounds, conserving ammo and all. The hair trigger is crazy, you don't touch it till your set and I don't think I was set. The trigger without the set is strange, couldn't even pull it at first but got it going and it's hard enough that it goes off when your not ready. Even with that all six were in a small pie plate at aprox 100 yards. I'll probably play with it a little more, here at the lake till next Tuesday so still some time. Great having the nice range all to myself again.

Sounds like a nice rifle Colonel. Good shooting for your first time out, and it being different than some/most!
I watched Quigley down under just the other day. Good movie.
The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

Hey Colonel, in case you're interested, some nice G10 grips for your beautiful P210

Those look pretty durn nice. Me being old school and born a 100 years too late, I'm not a real fan of G10 myself (usually) There are some instances where it works well.
Still no comparison to the factory grips on my 210, they are gorgeous and feel absolutely sweet in my hand. Don't even want a holster, I'll just hold it and carry it around.
