That was supposed to say BIG bore revolver
Nice video of some big bore revolvers being shot, including TWO Dan Wesson's a 44 mag and a 445 SM.

But it does say Big bore revolver 
I think you're just getting old 
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Thanks Steve!
I was disappointed that they didn't show them shooting the 445. I'd like to try that custom Ruger in 500 Linebaugh, looked like a real handful.

Watching the 500Linebaugh shot by the chap in the yellow shirt from the front view brought back a memory of a 475 Linebaugh loaded too hot...Anyone remember that one

Hey we always have time for a Linebaugh! Any gun that is loud, kicks hard and throws flame out of the muzzle is in.

I actually sold that Linebaugh, but will bring one in a few weeks. I have spent some time loading for Dans and some big bore shooting on our meeting coming up. Loaded some 44's with 275 grain XTP's last weekend. Today was big bore day. 500Linebaugh and 500 Wyoming Express. No worries as many of them are tamed down for pleasant handling, a few medium loads to ramp it up a just a bit. All I have to do different than last year is remember to bring both the gun AND ammo to make it work.

note the "lock time from trigger to fire" on the dw's...yeah.
that is what actually develops accuracy.
case in point:
I have shot tournament archery for almost 40 years, it took me almost 15 years, to discover, or be told, "you really don't want to know when the arrow is released... just keep aiming"
well, it stands true with firearms also, if you can precognizize when the bullet is fired, you will make a correction in a microsecond beforehand, and it will never hit the spot you had in aim, when the trigger was released.
as with my arrows, I relax, and squeeze, and somewhere between the squeeze and boom, all is good.
I really wish I could do a "relax" trigger assembly on my IHMSA pistols, as I use on my bow in tournaments, which allows me to get on target, actuate the trigger while keeping my sight picture, and gradually releasing my thumb (or finger pressure on my pistol) pressure until the arrow leaves the bow, unexpectedly, and totally on spot.. unless I flinch, its a done deal. I always tried to equate my trigger finger in competitive shooting, to a calculated thing, but archery, and my "release trigger" gave me insight onto the fact that as a muscle relaxes, and the firing occurs, very little changes in the sight picture, and in reality it cannot be "rushed/compensated by the eye" in a manner to be off point.
ooops, I may be letting a cat out of a bag... so to speak, for these long range shooters... but, meh... figure it out.
shoot safe y'all

Hey Blues,
that is some interesting information there on sight picture and trigger actuation. Probably even more so on the big bore stuff that started this thread. If you can learn the techniques on the light recoiling firearms, it helps tremendously on the heavier thumpers. I have watched this video that started this thread and many other similar ones over the years and there are a lot of people making videos on large bore hand cannons that you can tell just are cringing to pull that trigger and have no hope of hitting anything. Just watching the shooting style of the folks in the videos tells you a lot about the experience, training they may have had.
Thanks for the useful help.

another interesting experiment to try, when on the range, mix live rounds and fired cases in the cylinder, and hand it to someone to fire, watch closely what happens after they fire live round, then fire a spent case, it dramatically shows flinch patterns up..

Blues,
My father taught me to shoot by this method, I still use this to teach others as well. Great plan as it does teach them quickly if flinch or recoil anticipation is an issue for them. I still use it on myself sometimes if I am unsure that I developed a flinch. You just don't look when closing the cylinder. Great tool.
