HSM AMMO, Bear Loads NOW WITH PICS.

I certainly have not as I don't have a trapper or a chrono lol. Maybe boomer.

Right now I don't know if it will even cycle through my tuned (to Steve's Guns specs by Wanstall's gunsmith) Ranch Hand. I'm picking-up a box from Kate in Calgary on Thursday afternoon, and will post my results here on Friday evening.

(Provided the little Rossi doesn't grenade and kill me ... sure could use one a them Hurt Locker suits about now.)
 
Got the 305g stuff today, this looks more badass then the other stuff i got, which im sure is kinda warm as well lol.

The one on the left looks like it will feed/chamber in most revolvers and the M94 Winchester Trapper.

"Budddy" on the left looks longer. It's 1.635. Somewhat North of SAAMI spec for yer basic .44 Magnum cartridge ...

I don't know much/anything/FA about the Winchester M94 Trapper ... and I am Googled-to-death right now. Now chambered for .44 Magnum?
 
^The action of the M94 is geared towards rifle length cartridges. Hence it can handle beyond SAAMI spec 44 magnum cartridge to a somewhat longer OAL and still feed just fine through the action and the tubular magazine.

The one I have was manufactured in 1983.

Its fits in the redhawk fine. Not gonna blow her up is it lol.
 
Edit: just double checked my info - the Redhawk is fine for even the crazy-ass Buffalo Bore, so the warm HSM should be just fine.

Great news! Just tried some. They cycle flawlessly in my Rossi Ranch Hand ... probably thanks to the Steve's Guns Tune-up Kit.
 
No, it's a bit too dark. I typically shoot off my back deck, at a fluorescent lime-green silicone woodchuck spinner target that's mounted on the top rail of my log fence.
 
I also live in Fort Mcmurray I heard about the idea of it switching it over to a gun store , I'll have to check it out .

Its still gonna sell cloths just gonna have more emphasis on guns is what I was told, time will tell. The new ower is a newfie gunsmith, so we will see.
 
Well, that's still a lifetime supply. Covet yours.

I actually drove from the Crowsnest Pass area to their pick-up address, and decided to buy only one box. Like who needs more than one box?

Kate should maybe think about a simple "ordering system" based upon the nuclear half-life system ... uber-wealthy customers can buy half of her hard-to-find stuff. And then bugger-off and let us proles have a go ... based on the same simple idea.
