The nitro muzzle loader is just because we are not allowed any revolvers with barrels under 12" and overall length of less than 24" unless they are muzzle loaders.

No regulation about what powder they burn though.

It is just a lot of fun to pull out of a shoulder holster at pratical shoots, gets the range officers wondering till you get back to the line. :-)

It is 38/357 It shoots quite well with 4.5 gn bullseye or 6 grains of unique. I have just got some trail boss to play with.

Just like to shoot something that nobody else has once in a while.

As to dicy. The cylinder is 4140 machined as large as possible for that SAA frame the firing pin recoil shield has been rebushed and the barrel is an bigger than normal diamiter douglas.
If that was a normal cartridge gun I would have no hesitation firing 357 mag bar the possibility of a little frame strech in the long term. The limitatin lies in the ammount of flash back possible from aside the turned off cartidge heads that carry the primers. May have solved that problem on the last mods with a grove recess in the rear of the cylinder and cutting the heads off to leave a little rim thet will impide the flame path to the side.

This is just for informatin by the way folks I AM NOT RECOMMENDING THAT ANYBODY BUILDS ONE OF THESE.

There that is the litigious part over with.
