Soon #1 brought it back to me last weekend. Said that it is too much for him to shoot around the house, and he is going to be a bow hunter only from here on out. I have lots of catching up to do.

That is a great round. I have a 410 GNR on a Ruger Redhawk frame.

crawfish, you may not get a lot of reply's to your post. For some reason there are not many fans of Gary Reeder's work here. Some have never even handled them, but make judgment on hear say.

I am a big Reeder fan. I have several of his creations, and they look and work great.

I like Gary's work. The .41GNR#1 was the first .41 caliber he made for me. It is a 14 inch Contender. He also made a .41RemMag/.41GNR duel cylinder 5 shooter SBH. That one lives in CO now. There is a picture of it on his special guns page . Think it is the last on the bottom but it was the first he posted there. He named that gun The Green Machine.

I also have many of his encore barrels and frames, and quite a few of his custom revolvers...right up to a 500 Linebaugh Alaskan Hunter.

Glad we have other Reeders Misfits.

I have a 416 GNR Encore BBl, a 378 GNR Encore and a 510 revolver. Good guns, I have no complaints at all about the quality.

They're everywhere..................

I have 2 of Garys customs. I think his work is very good and will have him do 1 more for me. I have a 455 GNR Alaska Express and a 410 GNR American Hunter both in 5 shot revolvers built from 45 colt Bisleys.

The 410 GNR is a great round, I have a Redhawk in the 410 GNR. What a tack driver.

hoeram what do you think of the 455 GNR as a caliber I am considering getting a mini beast barrel for my encore in it.

SO far I,m real happy with it. The case's are easy to make and it shoots 300,335 cast real well. I would have it built again, I had it and the new 410 GNR done because I had 3 45 colts and wanted to get something different.I kept my ruger bisley hunter in 45 colt. Garys guns are truly fine examples of good workmanship.

Thanks hoeram, as soon as pay day comes a new mini beast will be ordered in 455 GNR for hogs, mountain lions and fun. I have a 5.5" stainless Bisley in 45 colt that eventually will get Gary's attention (probably a 475 linebaugh).
I have an 8mm GNR barrel that I love for the Encore, Gary's customer service is awesome and he has my business as a result.

Bulbwerks, Keep us posted onthe 455 GNR. I have been interested in that caliber for a while. Gary builds nice guns, just don't go on his forum unless you are into "The sky is falling, Obama is going to take your guns, ect" foolishness from the assorted wingnuts he has posting there. It used to be a good forum until the nuts took over.

You have that on every gun site, not just on his site.

I believe that Obama wants our guns, and I don't consider myself a wingnut, I take offence to the reference from a fellow gun owner as a matter of fact.

I agree, BUT on this site, for example, the nuts pretty much keep to the Political Forum, not everywhere else. I used to frequent his site every day for 3 years+ until just before the Nov. elections when 3 or 4 real loons came in and ruined what was once a good forum to talk guns and handgun hunting.

Seems back to normal now, or that is how I see it.

Could be as I haven't been there for months. I hope it is back to what it used to be.

I still go there every day and post now and then, but stay clear of any political engagements. I have better stuff to talk about or read about than that stuff. Politics and religion are best kept in their respective places, and that isn't on a gun forum. I like talking gunsand hunting on a gun forum, plain and simple.

Head over to the crater if you want lunacy. I don't mind the wingnuts nearly as much as the ultra-libs that have found there way on a shooting/hunting site who feel they have to share their distorted world view with us.......

I think it was BBBruce that came over here to post about Obummer before the election. Hitman took care of that......

If you have some load data for your 410 GNR would you be willing to share some with me. I have no data for mine and I'm looking for a few starting loads to get it up and running. I'm looking for data on 250/265 LFNGC & WFNGC if you can help. Thanks up front.
