PICKED UP A PHILADELPHIA DERRINGER, 45 CAL. LOOKING FOR A STARTING PLACE FOR A GOOD LOAD, HOW MUCH 3F DO YOU USE?
Shoot one handed with a baseball glove on the other hand!?I use about half of the charge that I use for my .45 rifle which would put me about where Don is. While I was working up to that load I had the same situation Don did. I did'nt get hit by the ball but I re-used the same ball about 3 times cause it coming back. I thought it was hilarious that the ball kept bouncing back begging for another try until I thought it might actually hurt if I got hit with it. I have the CVA version.
A 15 year old thread? Wow.....how did that come up in the search function.Shoot one handed with a baseball glove on the other hand!?
Dunno but I never check the date when I reply to a thread. I just hope the OP is still around!A 15 year old thread? Wow.....how did that come up in the search function.
not sorry, I just had to post. isn't the saying old is better? seems tat you enjoyed chiming in till you saw the date of the post. LOL.I have a Traditions version that I reworked a bit cosmetically to suit my taste. 20 grains of 3f and a patched .440 ball. Never had any bounce back, but then I've only shot it at soda cans and old oranges.
Oh, good grief! I just realized this thread is from 15 years ago. Stop playing with the time machine, toot. The last time someone did that I ended up right in the middle of that whole Little Bighorn fiasco. Barely got out of that one...![]()
