Thinking of buying a Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine.

cases have a tendency to stick in the cylinder........

I have heard that a couple of times.

Still thinking about one of these. Maybe I will go look at one this weekend.

If the cases stick and it's too loud you could hand load cast bullets. HP38 works great for the plinkers I load for my carbine.

That sounds like fun but I'm trying to get out of thy AR thing. The only one I will keep and enjoy shooting is my M16A1 clone. The fad has passed for me on them. Thanks for the offer though.

I have a 3 screw from 1969 and enjoy it. It can have a nice fireball. I have noticed about a 350+/- loss of velocity from what I get in my Carbine. Speer makes a JHP, Speer product 1835, that is a nice bullet. Killed many gophers with it when I was stationed at Minot AFB.

Cool. Killing gophers with one sounds like lots of fun. I bet it did a job on them.
