Sacramento CA Black Powder Assistance?

Meanwhile, I am going to start another thread in this Darksider's  to check on the definition of a "loaded pistol" for SASS stages ...

Hello Wadd Watson Ellis,

I"m not sure 'bout out there on the left-coast, out here in the Rocky Mountains a loaded ROA is one with "caped" nipples.

Me Pard preps his cylinders at the cart with a little device that loads up them cylinders without the pistol frame, Powders up five holes-wads 'em sets a ball then spin and crimp 5 times.

He saves a bunch of time that way and removes the rushing.  He caps the cylinders at the loading table and makes sure they're seated good and installs them into the frame properly.  Super Slick!

Yeti,

That is as I understand it ... but it sounds like a rally good way to trip over one's own spurs, so to speak.

But I plan to reread the whold SASS Regulations on Blackpwder tonight so I am better prepared ...

Suppose that's true if ya don't pick up yer feet and walk straight.  It's ALWAYS a good idea to know the rules just in case they change them on ya!   

If ya gitt-n one of those load-n devices be sure that yer cart is a stable one or you WILL trip over yer spurs...

Yeti,

I just lost my whole post: damn!

When the previous owner was selling the ROAs, he was quitting shooting and gave me the whole kit as part of the sale ...

This folding reloading stand was part of the sale ... It is made to reload cylinders while installed on the pistol .... so I will probably use it on the reloading table ...

Hey Wadd Watson Ellis,

Check out this web page and near the bottom is one of the loading devices, Me Pard uses the "simpler" one that he didn't have much luck with.  Pard wasn't either so he OVER CAME and ADDAPTED.  He beefed up the lever.

More leverage and yer not outta luck if the press on the gun goes Ka-Put.  What am I saying it a RUGER, screws do leave though.
