Heh heh. I happen to own a Ruger Old Army stainless myself, although I haven't shot it in a decade. You can fill that thing full of FFFg, forget the corn meal, seal it with Crisco or petroleum jelly and not worry about it.

Dang, I miss those days, and don't get into it that much anymore. Maybe some of us just mellow too much with age? :(

I'd like to find that fire again, River Rat. Maybe I will. Posts like yours bring back memories.

Yep....no doubt the Ruger Old Army can handle the full charge ...

I'm simply cheap and don't want to use more powder than necessary to hold zero and punch a hole through the paper at the range.

I "filled er up" when we went after hogs with black powder...
I no longer hunt....but still love to shoot, and do so!

GET BACK OUT TO THE RANGE..... THIS SPRING- PROMISE YOURSELF.
