The Freedom Arms is really mine now, in typical Dave Beeman fashion, I have marked it as mine, I really shouldn't have fine things. It was a pleasure to shoot, and I look forward to finding 2 loads for it, one to shoot for pleasure and general kicking around, and one for serious hunting. The general use load will utilize my 289gr SWC, the hardcore hunting load will be either a 300+ gr cast or jacketed bullet, would like to think I will be able to get my 325gr WFNGC bullet I cast to shoot well enough to hunt with. This journey is going to be fun, and I already feel that I now own the finest production revolver made. Going to have to Church up my reloading practices, this gun deserves my best.

Of note, this 6" barreled Model 83 weighs just about the same as my 5 1/2" SS Bisley 45 Colt, just a shade heavier.
