Default Really tempted ...

You guys all know I am a fan of fast twist muzzies. I have a new in the box TC Black diamond 45 cal 1:20 twist I have had for a while . Every time I look at it I think I should try it out to see how it stacks up against my knights and whites . But I probably never will
Maybe I should let Doug try it out at Friendship
Can you imagine what would happen if he showed up with an old school TC out of the box and won . Wouldn't that be a hoot. til then I guess I look at it once in a while and think I should shoot that , but of course I won't .

Did they come with the QLA installed? I'm thinking yes...

Yes but it might still be good with sabot less emax or even 260 dead center . Conicals I guess a person wouldn't know unless he tried but probably not with that qla

Well to each his own. But I never was one to buy a gun and not shoot it. I did have a 504 White a bit ago that I bought unfired and hung onto it for a month or so then decided to sell it. I purchase a Marlin 1895 Cowboy (not a Remlin!) in .45-70 a bit over a year ago NIB for a good price and probably could have doubled my money on it. But I got it because I like the chambering and the way it feels. I probably have about 1000 rounds through it now as my shoulder can attest to. It took me a while to find the right load for it but it can really shoot.

As Sir Henry Halford would say: "Just Shoot It!"
