BROW / Re: What bullet for .40-65?
Last post by Jeff Michel - Yesterday at 06:54:34 AM
Saeco 640 for general use. I also have had very good success with the Lyman 410665 for a hunting bullet. Don't rule out paper patching as an option, my 40-65 absolutely thrives on it.

FWIW, I posted your question over on the Shiloh Forum, and was told by Kenney Wasserberger to get the 640.  He's pretty much the Gold Standard over there.

Midway also has the 410 grain Saeco 740 mold.  But I think the 640 better suits the Pedersoli's twist.

Gentlemen, a friend just picked up a Pedersoli Sharps in .40-65.  What bullet are you guys using for that?

Pappy, yes it came to market, briefly, but Kenny , well let's just say he had a way of promising the moon......but it was a moon pie....he sold his business and Howell Old West conversions offer an updated version of the conversion that doesn't permenately attach to the frame....very similar to a Kirst ring......the one thing they do offer is roll engraving on the cylinder. Unfortunately, they seem to have a hard time with delivery as they seem to make small runs of these then are sold out quickly......I was on the notify list for a Uberti model with the engraved cylinder.....got an in stock notification, next day brought up the site to order....out of stock....????

By FAR the best one I've seen is Billy the Kid performing "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees.

I questioned the authenticity of a couple of the photos as well, but it's certainly intriguing. The site asks for suggestions; maybe we should suggest additional photos...

Coal,

Thanks for sharing these interesting finds.  This was very unique.  A good use for AI.

I have one correction on the second video, though.  Their image of Bill Doolin is 'NOT' Bill Doolin but is of Heck Thomas the Oklahoma Marshal that hunted and killed Doolin.  Hope this helps someone watching, after us.

I wonder if these folks would recognize themselves.  The AI software has to make some assumptions to "fill in the gaps" and I wonder if they got it right.

Some of the details are kind of interesting. If you watch the firearms as some of these photos are put into motion, they kind of morph into generic "old guns" rather than following the form of the actual model of gun. Of course that is the software making those assumptions rather than actually knowing what that kind of firearm looks like.

Nice touch-up.
