  2. Reload - much cheaper, very easy, and even works with black powder.

    Pretty good carbine round too - e.g., in a 94Win

    1. That's why I started reloading more than 45 years ago when I bought a .44 magnum. Back then it cost about $10/20 round box. I could load a box of full power JHP for about $3.50.

  3. IMHO, a seriously underrated and underappreciated round.

    1. Starline brass. Top quality.

    2. Starline- Top quality, less expensive than the big-name brass, great service when ordering factory direct and free shipping from a family-owned business at the end of the Sedalia Trail in Sedalia, Missouri.
      What's not to love?

  4. Always have liked the round, first new gun was a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt when the transfer bar system came out. I have an S&W Model 28 converted to .45 Colt and a Taurus titanium five shot two inch snubbie in that caliber. This is not the end of the list.

    1. Nor should it be and a mighty good start to one it is!

  5. It's a hoot to shoot.
    Got a Blackhawk with an extra .45acp cylinder and a Redhawk that also takes .45acp moon clips. That way I can shoot a newer round when I don't want something with a 150 year history.
