Well, I finally got the Blackhawk out to the farm in South Carolina. I reloaded about 75 shells with 180 grain JHP with 14.6 grains of Hodgson CFE and had a blast. I couldn't believe the damage this thing does. I had 2 beer cans filled with water, when the bullet hit, the cans exploded into pieces. On my smaller calibers the can usually has a hole going in and the back of the can is split wide open. Both cans exploded into pieces. I tried it on a couple of plastic quart milk bottle and got the same result. Pieces all over the place. What an awesome gun. I need to get better grips because the factory wood ones are too small and slippery. Spent 6 days looking for a hog not a single sign of one. My neighbor thinks its been too hot and they're hanging in the marsh or wet lands till winter.
