I found a shop with a new 4 5/8" .357 magnum Ruger blackhawk (blue) for $329.

Is this a good price?

I might get a price match from a local Gander Mountain for an additional 10% off. ($so down to $300 or so...+$18.50 for tax)

Is this a good buy?
 
Picked up the 6" blue w/9mm cylinder

I got it with both the 9mm and .357 cylinders in 6" for just $50 more.

$405 w/tax and out the door...(from the place that had it for less)

Thing looks excellent. I plan on heading to the range this weekend and using it with my Rossi .357 as well.

:D
 
Recommendations on primers for reloads?

My Taurus revolvers are picky during double action firing. Gotta use Fed100 for them.

Are RBH's picky?
 
At the range today...EXCELLENT!!!

The use of both 9mm and .357 is VERY handy.

My .357 loads were all fine.
5.2gr Universal
8.8gr BlueDot
12.8gr 2400

The 2400 felt like a REAL load. (although, I think loading it upto 14.5gr would be great for hunting)

The BlueDot load was nice and had good report. No unburnt powder as far as I could tell.

The Universal was like a kitty cat. Not much different than Unique, but, ALOT less smoke. (I think I am going to switch to Universal for all my light .357s and 38s)

I also had my Rossi 92 (.357) with me and it performed flawlessly.

The 9mm ammo was simply Winchester Value Pak. ($9.95 at WalMart)

My Dad was with and he had his S&W model 19. He commented that the RBH is by far his favorite SA handgun. He has a Ruger Blackhawk .357MAX 10".

Well, I didn't fire any 38s out of it, other than some handloaded +Ps with speer gold dots. (fed primers and brass, 6gr power pistol, 125gr GDHP)

Overall, a VERY fun day at the range. (too bad it was indoors...)

That to me is a good priceI would say a little better than average.I got one about 6 months ago,looking around they went from over $400 to about $340.Had one gunshop tell me on the phone $425,then he said if I came down there he might be able to do a little better.Like I rushed right down :barf:
