When I was maybe 14 or so I met a guy along a bluff overlooking Lake Erie. He had a .45 Colt revolver that had been custom built from an N frame .357...
It was early Spring and the lake ice was breaking up. He was shooting long range icebergs and making the kind of long range hits that I'm sure Elmer Keith would have admired...
I still have a very clear image of the big Colt cartridges he was loading... I remember that he had a very nice looking holster and gun belt with cartridge loops....
When I discovered that S&W was making another run of .45 Colt Mountain Guns... I had to go for it.... now I just need some icebergs
Thoughts on safe long range targets? When the valley beside my house is really dry I have a rock I shoot at that is around 150 yards away. Large slugs make nice dust clouds. I have figured out the sight picture and walked the bullets in on it with a .44 Magnum revolver... any elevated position looking down at a dry plowed field has potential...
Just looking for some safe ideas...
