Not to push my luck much (as I tend to do from time to time)

When I got the note from Ruger of the pending SRH in 22 Hornet the first thing (or things) I thought of was a new barrel and rechamber the cylinder to 255 Banshee. The 240 Banshee is a close second as my favorite caliber. Any small 60 grain bullet (or in that neighborhood) that will do 2200 fps or even a bit more is a winner as far as I am concerned.

Our deer here are the Mighty Mouse of the deer family, the Coues Deer. Finding one of these mouses at the heavy weight of 70 pounds would be the perfect excuse for hunting with a revolver.

The 2 Banshees will beat those figures with room to spare. Either one will run a 75 grain bullet to 2000 fps or a bit more on your lucky day. My next problem is to acquire one of these Super Redhawks and go to work. Should one of you Misfits run across one of these pretty 21 year old virgins of the revolver world and want to be the first one on your block to have one of the aforementioned Banshees and have an over abundance of 60 to 70 lb varmints in your vicinity then feel free to box this beauty up and send it to yours truly and you will have the "prototype" of a whole new series of Mighty Mouse revolvers.

In the mean time I will try to call in some favors from our distributors and see if I can have one coming my way. Either way it will be fun to again get to work on something new in the way of a custom revolver. My problem here is trying to get drawn with a deer tag for 2024. Doing so is a real pain in the schwantz. This being the reason I mentioned one of you just happening to find one of these beauties under the Christmas Tree. Either way thoughts of this new Mighty Mouse series will run thru my noggin until I have one in my sweaty hands.

Something new to think about over the holidays.
