Good times

Got to thinking about shooting with Pops earlier and I remembered a couple of pictures I posted of him shooting my 41 magnum Blackhawk in a clearcut up near Long Barn.
It took my a while but I found them. The first picture is of him right before the gun went off (You can see the hammer back) and the second one is right afterwards in full recoil.
The loads were a heavyweight 280 grain gas checked wide flat nose hardcast bullet put out by Bear Bullets over a charge of 20 grains of H110 and a CCI large magnum pistol primer.

    Hey, you know I don't get all the gun talk, although it does sound really cool ;-)

    ...but these pictures are priceless

    That's really nice that you've got photo's to go along with the memories. I surly wish that I had more photo's to go along with the memories that we built up over all the years.
    BTW... that (handloaded) round sounds like a bear stopper for sure!

    Is he supporting the frame of the gun with his left hand under/alongside? That's a good way to lose fingers.

    Darrell, he's using a modified Weaver on a slope.
    He knew more about shooting large caliber handguns than I could ever hope to.
