Just back from the shoot, brought back a new gun with me, first new gun in way to long a time. 
50th anniversary Ruger Flattop 44 Mag 
It spent some time in Tennessee hanging around Hamilton Bowen's shop getting action work and sights, looks like they turned the barrel in a bit and set the gap because now the warning label is on the bottom and under the ejector. Of course a Bowen fitted Belt Mountain Base Pin as well.
Quick trip through New York for  a Turnbull Case Hardened finish. (Luckey to make it out of there alive)
Somewhere along the way a Herretts oversized stock was fitted ( Probably going to re-work the stock, I kind of like the finger grooves I've done on other grips).
Runs like a fine swiss watch, tighter then my Freedom Arms.
Crappy camera phone photo, sorry...

2400

You know I like 2400 and have been using it in light loads. 15 gr. seems a little light but 18 gr. in a
mag case with 240 plated bullet works good and still low recoil.
