Managed to kill two hogs in North Carolina (www.hogheavenoutfitters.com) in a 24 hour period and blooded two revolvers in the process. This first one (a sow) I hammered with my .500 Maximum at 2:00 in the morning. The shot was 25 yards, and the pig didn't go anywhere.  Hog number two was shot that evening around 10:00 pm with my new Ruger Bisley in .45 Colt. He also dropped at the shot.  It was a good weekend...... "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid."

Hey Whit, don't you know you're suppose to be sleeping at 2am! Nice job on the hogs. A guy could spend the rest of his life with a good 45 Colt & be happy. Whats the shoulder rig, Safariland, Idaho Leather, Lawrence? | |||

Haha! Dick, if you don't hunt 'em at night where I hunt, you don't get to shoot at 'em! Thank you! The shoulder rig is by Wild Guns Leather Company of Texas amd is a Dirty Harry style holster. It's really nicely made and comfortable. Thank you much, cottonstalk, it was good seeing you! "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid."

Good going, Whitworth, what was your load in the Bisley? I have the same revolver, and mine likes Matt's 315 gr over 18 grains of 4100 and WLPs. | |||

I was using a Grizzly Cartridge factory load -- a 335 grain WFN that recently clocked 1,350 fps out of another revolver we chronographed a while back. I expect to have lost a bit with the 5 1/2-inch barrel but would still say they are probably running around 1,300 fps. It's a hammer! "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid."
