Gents me smokey pards got together and got some badges made from Chuckaroo for us like minded VA black powder shooters.
It was cool that most of us also happened to be signed up for the MD Free State BP shoot and shot together.
The posse is just for fun - if you shoot in VA and shoot black - come on down be a member of our group.
We are the VA State BP Posse - Fire and Brimstone

Now fellers, I have pondered the idea but it is too close to all the state and regional shoots fer me to go changin up now. I spent too much muny ta let it go up in a cloud of SMOKE. Maybe after NC State I might give er a try.
PR, yur right about them open tops. The jus don't look as natual without the smoke.
Wildcat, yur boolits wouldn't fit in my wimpy little .38s. Boolits ain't no problem, got 1000 that I jus loaded up fer Trina. Course you fellers probably wouldn't like what I put in them, we're usin that fake stuff 777 so I guess we wouldn't be true darksiders anyway. I jus shoot too much to be usin the real stuff. I can use boolits with smokeless lube and jus run them through my progressive press jus like the smokeless loads. Next time ya'll order some Goex let me know, I might use it in the shotgun. Right now I'm usin pyrodex fer the SG. Least then we could be mini soot lords.
Got ta git back outside an finish paintin SG targets. Shur is darn hot out there.
Sodbuster, thanks fer the invite, like I said, maybe after NC State I'll give'r a try fer awhile.

Well maybe I'll giver a try this weekend at Pungo and if that works I might do NC State as FCD but if I wuz to ask Chuckaroo to change anything else he'd probably ban me from comin. First we had ta cancel MD State and then I had ta change Trina's catagory for MDS. Also that smoky stuff cost allot more to shoot.

MM and Tricky are convertin'?....................... ;D ;D ;D Yeeee Haaaaaaaaa

Wahoooooo LTL Rstr - it's a looking that way.
MM - I shoot 38's and can bring some APP loaded ammo with me for you to try at Pungo.
I also have stocked up on APP 2F and will give you a bottle to get started.
I shoot both true black and substitutes, course when the substitutes run out - I'll switch to all holy black.
I'll go ahead and bring the 38 ammo- you can at least try it.

MM and Tricky are convertin'?....................... ;D ;D ;D Yeeee Haaaaaaaaa
Trina has already crossed over to the Dark Side. I'm entertaining the ideal of doing it at least part time. Gona shoot Pungo this Saturday with the smoky stuff.
Havin ammo isn't a problem. I got 1000 rounds of .38 loaded with 777 2f and 150 rounds loaded with Pyrodex so we got plenty of ammo.

The pull to the darkside is strong. ;D
I can bring ya some real 12ga to try MM.

Sleep I am goin ta plan on being thar and will try ta drag Arcey along wit me. ::)

Gittin scarry the price of stuff for those of use loading our own. :o Forturately I am still working through about 150 lbs of lead I got from a friend. Boat ballist. Lead shot aint cheap though.
Marshal it must be possible to git Goex cheaper online. The Armory seems to price things high.
How you folks like that German stuff? ???

WW That's what I had in my shotgun loads last week...........ffg and fffg both could tell any difference shooting them

WW I have not shot any yet - but folks on the wire have siad that scheutzen is starting to rival the swiss as far as clean burning with little fouling.
If'n you want to try a 1 bottle i'll bring one for you - it is 3f though.

Marshal it must be possible to git Goex cheaper online. The Armory seems to price things high.
Actually the Armory is usually the cheapest place around here. I wuz there yesterday, they had a sign fer Goex said $12.50 per pound so I told the guy I'd take 4 pounds of FFG. When he goes to ring it up it wuz $18.50 per pound, I told him about the sign and Marie came out and said it wuz an old sign they had forgot to take down but they sold it to me at $12.50 and then took the sign down.
I checked online and found a place that I can git it at $11.75 per pound, hazmat and frieght included, but ya have ta buy it in lots of 25lb or 50lb ta git that price. If ya buy it in lots of 5lb it's $18+ per pound there too. I don't know if that's better than what ya ben gitin it fer or if ya need any powder but I'm willin ta git it up front if ya want to go in and git some. What do ya normally use, FFG or FFFG? I'm jus gona be usin it in the shotgun for now so I'd be lookin at the FFG. Until I can find a reliable source of lead and start castin agin I'll stick with the 777 so I can use regular lubed boolits.
Tensleep - signin up fer NC state as FCD, figure ain't got no chance of winnin anything down there anyway so whut the heck. Might as well end the years big shoot season in a BANG and a CLOUD OF SMOKE!
-
Went to 2f for ever’thing, cuz.
Little as I’ve been shootin’ lately I’m still pretty good on powder but I wouldn’t be opposed ta gettin’ tagether with a couple other folks for ‘nother couple pounds or three. Ain't gonna get no cheaper.

MM I would be interested in 5 pounds, even though i don't get to shoot much it doesn't take long to find out you have used up your supply of Holy Black.

make some for me also
Rooster,
I shall make large, beautiful, odiferous clouds of wonderful smoke from well executed, technologically advanced, thoroughly tested, totally safe, recoil free (almost), loud, hauntingly accurate, SASS legal cartridges just for yourownself and Ms. Montana. As you have witnessed in the past with your very eyes.
We will have no need to cope with problems – unless we have another dud primer like we did last month – we shall simply shoot our five stages without fear of failure, between stages labor or corrosion.
In truth, the righteousness of the Darkside shall be with me where ever I go.
May the Smoke envelope you, my friend. And, keep you ‘til we meet again.
Oh well……. Back to yard work……………

The stench from them unholy smoke bombs we threw shall only remain ‘til we toss our duds in the washin’ machine. They’re fun but damned if they don’t flat stink!

That about hits it. Don’t wanna argue a horse hair stampede string when I’m signin’ up for a shootin’ match. Ain’t real keen on takin' the pneumatic tires off my cart either. Be a sad thing if I couldn’t wear my arrow hat ever now ‘n again. I’m in this game for giggles.
Am still ponderin’ the last stage. When I tossed the bomb, Trina’s was still belchin’ smoke from when she shot. Then mine went off ‘n the rifle added it’s own smoke. Couldn’t see poo-poo but I cleaned the rifle targets.
Pistol targets I could see plain iz day – missed one with both pistols………………………

Dang nab-it saturday is looking questionable.
Baby is doing fine, as is the mommy - but in laws are coming up for halloween - so not sure what we are going to do.
Is there any shooting down in tidewater the second weekend of Nov?
I did load up 10 more 43 spanish rounds, put large pistol primers in my 11mm french brass, and field stripped the french pistols - they are so nice inside - unbelieveable really.
Oh and what did I find - in my old loading bench - a set of 44sw/mag dies - thought I was going to have to buy some - completely forgot about a set a friend gave me - when I shot 44 russian.
I needed the bullet setter more than anything..

Once again, I have to deal with the inmates....**razzlefrazzle**. Arcey, make sure Marshal doesn't do too much.... I'd hate to come home and see him in the condition he was in Wednesday night. Since I can't shoot anytime soon due to the work schedule, I sat up last night and watched Tombstone again.
Have fun and make much smoke - I'll be looking at the horizon..................

Thinkin’ I’ve fouled up with the HBM lube though. Them Yankee Candle scraps in there is actin’ like BP deordorant. The pistols lack that full, rich stink of the one true powder. Smells more like the den 'n/or kitchen a half hour after the wife gets home.

When ya get the chance, take the ROI. Might be somethin’ in it ya didn’t know – might not. Ya getcha the pretty l’il pin ta stick somewhere. Ya don’t plan ta help run the show I don’t think the ROII thing is needed. That’s just me.
Just it bothered me a bit helpin’ run things ‘n not havin’ the ROII thingy with me tellin’ those that did whut ta do. Now it’s done ‘n over. Really ain’t no difference in any of it ‘cept one has the pins ‘n the other ain’t.
Best part was I got ta spend time with some of my best pards. Ain’t seen Levi ‘n PAK since April. Lottsa laughs. Time ta exchange opinions. Some serious talk ‘bout things ta keep someone from gettin’ hurt. That’s a good thing.
Real nice place ta meet. They kept the coffee fresh all day ‘n made sure the water pitchers were full ‘n ice cold. Hehehehe, can ya imagine a room fullah cowboy shooters with linen on the tables apart from a banquet? Big front porch with rockin’ chairs where we sat in shot the bull ‘fore the thing started.
MM did good gettin’ the thing tagether.
-
That sure wuz a real nice place. All kinds of stuffed critters on the walls such. Had a cougar and a badger in the room we used. Like Arcey said, best part wuz spendin time with my pards. If we ever get to the point of havin a big shoot, I'm sure that they could handle everything right there. Not much chance of that happin until they at least get the 50 and 100 meter ranges divided.

Thanks to PR, Trina and me are now officially members of the VA Fire and Brimstone Posse. Poney Racer give us our badges at the RO Class in Wakefield on Sunday. Can I get a YEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA!!!!!! Real nice, Thanks again PR! We'll wear them with PRIDE!

Lordy, do I remember that.
Secure at 0300. Go home ‘n nap in the lazy boy. Get up at 0700. Wash up, run the electric razor o’er yer face ‘n change shirts. Back ta Circuit Court before 0930. Defense moves to put you out of the courtroom ‘n ya sit in the hall onna bench with no back. Bailiff calls ya in, yer on the stand for all of 10 minutes then they cut ya loose.
Get back home ‘bout 1330. Nap in the chair. Wake up, eat sumthin’, shower, electric razor again, clean clothes, back to the office at 1900 sayin’ – WHOT HOPPENED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Throw smoke, lead and fire for me TT and Arcey.
I got too many daddy duties this weekend to make the trip.

Well, I secured at 0600 and am home now, but if I go to sleep, I won't get up and make it to court at 0900. I'm just staying up until after court (hopefully it will go quick) and my Sgt said to sleep until I get up and then come to work. I told him not to say that cause I'd be in sometime next week, if that were the case. ;D I figure I SHOULD (ahem) get home sometime about 1100 and be in bed very shortly thereafter. I shouldn't need but about 5 hours of sleep..... but ya never know.
The good thing is I start day shift on Monday, 0600 - 1800, so maybe I'll normal out quicker. Just means I gotta get up early on Friday. This set of nights has been hard. I've only been getting 4 or 5 hours and I usually need right about 7 or 8. MM says I'm all screwed up. I believe him - it's been a long night tour with all the holidays since we started in November. But we have gotten a whole butt ton of comp time for it too.
We'll smoke it up fer ya, PR - check the horizon......
Take care until we meet agin,

Naw, I'll still do the every other weekend thing, but at least for the two months I'm working days MM can walk around the house without having to worry about waking me up. He hates it when I'm on nights. I told him I use my earplugs and the only thing that will wake me up is when he's reloading in the room right next to me - too much noise transfers through the floor. I would lose out on a lot of comp time if I did a Monday - Friday gig. I really don't mind working 15 days out of the month with every other weekend a three day weekend.......... ;)
Got a 30 day continuance........ >:(
oh well, more comp time to come..................
Will we see ya at Black Creek in a couple of weeks?

I'm planning on being at Black Creek on the 19th. Hope it ain't too cold.

A werd FWIW. Hadda pistol staged. That means it’s time fer the infamous Buntline. Been o’er a year since the po’ thing been out the safe. Knew I shouldah pudda put couple three drops ah Ballistol onna patch ‘n run it thru the bore, didn’t.
Took me six patches ta get it clean awhile ago ‘n squirted the first’n with Moosemilk. Six! What a waste. Had one l’il spot whut wouldn’t come off the loadin’ gate. Put the bi-focals on ‘n it’s a spot of CCH.
Didn’t manage ta set the cardboard target afire but she scorched it. The concussion from Wildcat Will’s liked ta knocked it o’er. Had a youngster ask whut that stuff was comin’ out my barrel. Said, ‘Son, that’s Fire ‘n Brimstone.’
We wuz wearin’ our badges ‘n doin’ our secret handshakes proud.

I was mighty disappointed >:( I didn't git the target burning. But it did move right nicely. ;D

I'd be pretty hard pressed to call any of those *ahem* people "friends." I've had a some ask if we could get together on the outside and I just cringe. The men just blatently have other suggestions. I could lose my job and life as I know it for consorting with ex-inmates. I like keeping my lives very, very separate. I hope I haven't offended anyone with this, but most of these inmates are not someone picked up for jaywalking or other simple infractions. Many have had other incarcerations and just seem to stay on the wrong side of the law. Over 85% of our inmates are in because of drug/alcohol related crimes. Most people I call friends like a little drink, but those who abuse it or do drugs and break the law - well, I just hope that I don't see it. I'd like to think that my pards are clean living, law abiding people. At least clean enough to buy and own guns..... ;D

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooo
Long johns and full wool uniform weather!!

I'm sorry to say that due to the impending weather, MM and I aren't going to shoot this weekend. I, like MM, don't feel safe shooting when you're hands are too cold. Just too many things to go wrong. I will truly miss my pards cause I ain't seen y'all in forever, but safety and common sense have to take over sometime. I've been following the weather for the past few days and the weather guessers just seem to put out worse temps and some of that danged white stuff. Unless things drastically improve, looks like it's domestic chores for me. :'( I'll keep my eyes on the guessers, but it's not looking good fur the home team.............. Yep, I'm a wimp, but I'll be a warm wimp! Y'all take care - if'n ya go, please be careful. I love y'all!

Ya aint no wimp Cuzzin Trina. I wuz plannin on shootin this weekend, but when it gets this cold it just soaks into that metal knee of mine and then bothers me for days.
If we could all shoot at the same time them fad powder shooters would be complainin they couldn't see the targets. ;D

;D I like it, I LIKE IT!!!

Sunday is now forecasted for a high of 33 :o :o :o
Now that is gittin a bit chilly. May havta rethink shootin Sunday at West Point.

The Weather Channel is calling for a high of 43 at West Point, VA for sunday.
They is saying a high of 56 tomorrow.
I will be in Williamsburg for weekend with family, so I'm packing - if it is high 43 and some drizzle - I am a smoking!!
if it is cold as blazes then I will reconsider

National Weather Service sez overnight low of 22 Saturday with a 50% chance ah snow. High Sunday of 33 with a 20% chance of snow fer West Point..
Black Creek has pulled the plug on Saturday.
But whut do the NWS know? They's goobermint employees........

Me thinks MM and I wil be working on getting ammo loaded for future matches. I think he has every shotshell in the house loaded and looks like every long range rifle case loaded too! Maybe we'll do some pistol stuff this weekend..... Gotta do something cowboy!

I keep looking for a forecast that looks better than snow, ice and cold. :'( :'(
Unfortunately I cannot find one. Guess I will havta service the Square Deal so I kin git the rest of the 45LC boomers loaded.
My Stevens SxS is crying in the safe. :'( :'(

OOOOOOOOOH! Maybe I'll cook a real meal - got a pot roast, taters, carrots, onyuns and some other vegetable. I don't get to do that very often. Then maybe I can put on something slinky and sexy and get MM upstairs.....
to watch 3:10 to Yuma in the den ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
and what were y'all expecting ;D
-
Reloader is back in perfect form and ready to create those wonderful little jewels. . . . ;D ;D
The turned on the fire and watch 3:10 to Uma and watched the snow fall.
PR, the temp has not made it past 40 and that was this morning. Snow is coming down nicely now and the forecast was for it to continue through the night and for tomorrow to be colder.
Guess I will be loading tomorrow rather than unloading at the range.
-
Here in Independence, MO it is 12 degrees. There is a couple of inches of show on the ground from last Wednesday evening. Was 5 F. when I got up this morning. 40 sounds great. :o ;D
-
TT thanks for phone call. I can recieve email via my "treo device" but am not allowed to send out any due to gov't contract on device.
With the ice and snow definitely not a good idea to shoot. the temps were just dang too cold as well.
It was interesting that Weather channel by 10am had chnaged their forecast from what I saw in the am that got me excited.
Oh - well.
Hoping to shoot with ya'll in Feb.

Had a good day. :) Watched "The Sons of Katie Elder". Lots of flash but not much smoke from them guns. :-\
Fun to watch though. Then went to the loading bench and sized and lubed another 300 little babies so they are ready to become pretty little boolets. ;D
Printed out the map to figure out how to git to Anderson, SC in March. Need to get to a few matches though to start getting use to the Stevens. Snow and ice and 30 degrees is not real good conditions to play in.
Oh well there is always the next weekend. ;D

not fer me

TT not for me either - well actually I am showing a young shooter interested in SASS - my shotguns this coming weekend.
He has two pistols and the level gun - just not the shotgun and has very limited shotgun experience.
I told him I got every kind but a hammerless double:)! - so he is going to try them out.
Hoping to get him to a shoot soon.

My father gave me two IJ pocket pistols today, one nickle and one blued.
They are hammerless with a trigger set-up like a modern glock and are both 32 s&w.
They look very shootable (bores look good and cylinder chambers look good) but need some work to operate correctly.
They are in the 40000 number range - one is 42xxx, and another 47xxx.
Anyone know if these are modern powder capable or bp only??

PR, here is some info I copied from a web site awhile back. Maybe it will help ya out.;
Iver Johnson Revolvers
Iver Johnson is often overlooked by collectors as a significant American arms manufacturer. From 1871 throughout the 20th century they have produced many revolvers with a great number of them in the top-break 32 S&W and 38 S&W calibers. An excellent book is available to guide collectors to the sometimes confusing variations – Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works Handguns 1871-1978 by W.E. Goforth. Iver Johnson model terminology can be a bit confusing, in that most of their top-break revolvers are known as Safety Automatics, referring to their "Hammer the Hammer" transfer bar safety system and to the automatic ejection of cartridges upon opening these revolvers. For simplicity sake here, we will refer to the models as either "Iver Johnson Hammer" or "Iver Johnson Hammerless" models, although the correct model name according to Goforth would be more like " Small (or Large) Frame Safety Automatic Hammer (or Hammerless) Model."
In the standard Safety Automatic revolvers with the traditional exposed hammer, the First Model was made from 1894 through 1895 and is identified by it’s single post latch system. The Second Model was made from 1896 to 1908, and the Third Model was made from 1909 to 1941. Both Second and Third Models have the double post latch system. Quick visual clues that identify a Third Model include a longer rear sight on top of the latch and the owl head on the grips is looking directly at you , rather than towards the muzzle end of the barrel as was the case on the Second Model. The Third Model changes were intended to accommodate the higher pressure of smokeless powder loads.
In the Hammerless Iver Johnsons Safety Automatic Models, the First Model was made from 1895 to 1896 and can be quickly identified by the single post frame latch. The Second Model was made from 1897 to 1908, and there is a safety lever added onto the face of the trigger ( not unlike modern day Glocks). The Third Model was designed for smokeless powder and was made from 1909 to 1941. It is also known as "the New Model" and can be quickly identified by the lack of a safety lever on the face of the trigger.
-
Sorry Arcey momentary sign of weakness - well not really just wanted to know what model I had ;D
They are both second models since they both have the safety trigger within the trigger. Tks MM.
My dad thinks that his uncle and dad may have just undone the firing mechanism and or spring - cause he remembers as a boy using the nickle one for playing cowboy and indians after his daddy made sure it was safe.
LCR is going to look at them next week.
If'n I can get'em shooting again - I'll finally have me a pocket pistol!!
PR
-
PR the value of knowing if them pistol can handle the heathen power is to determine if a double compressed BP load if possible.
:o :o :o ::) ::) ::)

We found out that I've been shooting the wrong powder out of my pocket pistols - guess I've been lucky! We'll rectify that, I'm sure.......
Just not with "double compressed BP loads!" 8)

Wildcat Will killed three pistol targets with one shot. Kilt the left target, that fell o’er in kilt the center. The center fell o’er ‘n kilt the right.
Them DD Big Lube .45s o’er one his charges of Black Powder (always capitalize Black Powder) packs a wallop!

I guess they jus looked like they needed killing. :o

YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
This ain't no library! It wuz a GREAT day fer shootin and bein with pards. Glad ta see everyone made it home ok. We had 8 Black Powder shooters out of a total of 42 at the Pungo Posse shoot. The Darkside and Fire and Brimstone Posse is strong here.

Ohhhhhhh, cuzzin’, I’m inspired. Next time it’s my turn, expect ta be utterin’ the line, ‘Go ahead, make my day’.
That is a catchy phrase. ;) But ya know, it seems like I may have heard that somewhere before. ::)
Maybe we use one of my Blackhawks with my loads and have everyone send a 45 downrange followed by some fire and smoke. After all the 45 LC was the "most powerful handgun" at the time. ;D
-
It is inspiring to see all that Fire and Brimstone in one place.
I did love touching off my 44's for the first time ever and on a stage no less - tks to Sodbuster!!:)
The change of pace was nice from my 38spl's, which aren't loaded light, but not quite as loud!!:)
If'n I can get the bullets in time I may just have to shoot the next couple 2 day matches half and half!!!:)
Probably not good for my score, but i do love to shoot all my guns:)!!!

Arranged to git off w**k (dunt like to cuss on this fine forum) early and plan on droppin as many pretty little boolets as possible.
Then I just gotta git them loaded.
There is lots of good shootin coming.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I really can't see Ridgeback shootin the Holy Black!
Lefty Spurmaker shot the MD Blackpowder championship last August and won his category - 1st place 49ers.
-
I'm a thinkin people are a wonderin - "why are them thar darkside shooters having so much more fun?"
Our smiles are a bit wider, some of us are a bit loud (what shy, quiet and reserved little me:)!!
Flatboat has been asking questions for some time and he got his guns worked on by LCR - so they won't hang up. I think without hang-ups Flatboat will shoot them ROA's routinely.
Heck my BP bug is so bad I have loaded up 32sw long with BP for playing around with my 1895 Russian Nagants.
Wahoooooooooo
Yehawwwwwwww, I may just have to get some more badges........
If you know of VA BP shooters who would have fun with it - let me know. I'll take care of the rest.

Hello the fire,
I guess I have sat out long enough, I can only milk getting married for so long. ;D I hope to get out to either Black Creek this month (should be able to do March as well) or the Pungo shoot next month. I've got my revolvers and Henry set up but I am still working on the shotgun, those 10 gauge brass shells are expensive at $6.50 each! Anyhow I just wanted to say howdy again and that I am off for Thunder in the Brush this year so I plan on shooting that as well if they'll let me in!

Thanks Sod Buster, I look forward to getting back on the horse! My better half has told me I can finishing buying my 10 guage brass shells with the tax return money so I should be set up to shoot Frontiersman at Thunder in the Brush. I have thought about ordering a couple of boxes of shells loaded wtih BP from Republic Metallic Cartridge Co.
Price: 26.84 USD #8 "MIGHTY TEN" 10 Gauge 2-7/8" Black Powder Shotshells (BOX OF 25) Hard to find 2-7/8" black powder shotshells for the Sportsman featuring new high brass Federal plastic hulls, traditional Biodegradable wad columns (NO MORE MELTED PLASTIC!) 4-1/4 Drams Swiss Black Powder, 1-1/4 oz. #8 lead shot, roll crimp.
I figure two boxes will pretty much get me through two matches, probably March and April in Black Creek. I just worry that they might be loaded a bit "hot" for CAS, what do you think?

I'm not an expert on 10ga but I think you will be ok. The Republic cartridges are used by CAS shooters with good results. You might need more than two boxes though. Black Creek's annual shoot sometimes has a scenario with 14-17 shotgun targets! :o :o :o
You're barrel will get hot.

WW is always settin somethin a blaze ;D ;D ;D Hope to help him at TIB but regret I will probably not make Blue Ridge this year.

LR,
Rocky Mountain Cartridge quoted me $65.00 for 10 shells. I figure I need at least 50-60 shells to be safe (probably more figuring some will get stepped on) so theres $325 to $390 not counting shipping. Thier shot shell reloading kit is another $65 so I figure I'll ending up dropping $500 :o to get shooting! That is just for the local matches, a large match might use more but I figure I'll add another 10 shells a month until I get a silly number of them. ;)
I am open to suggestions of other suppliers of 10 gauge brass shells, I haven't been able to find any. Of course I could buy a 12 gauge and all the fixins for about the same as the 10 gauge reloading setup, but then what would I do with the 10 gauge?

You can always use plastic 10ga shells fer most of yur shootin. Thye got ta be cheaper than brass ones and a heck of alot easier to reload.

Good ta see ya again, Myles.
Ya know, do what ya want but I’d think hard on MM’s werds. That’s a lot of money for style points.
-
Jeemanee Miles!!!! :o I thought $45 for 25 12ga was a bit much. I do like the style points but there sure does come a point where it just may not be worth it.
Course ifn ya kin aford it, I say go fur it! ;D
-
Pard I love my 12 guage style points but I got my shells over a a2 year period and still shot some paper and plastic BP shells as I slowly got my herd of brass shells.
Once you get them and have the little hand kit - it is easier and cheaper going with brass. But again I bought my brass over a 2 year period - about 50 shells at a time.
I know a pard who shoots 10 guage federal hulls and they hold up nice. His trick - still use the fiber wads, so the inside of the barrels stay nice and slick instead of getting the plastic wad stuff all on the inside of them barrels.
PR
-
I appreciate all the thoughts on using plastic shells. Right now I don't have anywhere to set up a reloading press and won't until we buy a house. I'm currently using a Lyman 310 and Lee handpress for my cartridge needs. I guess I can always get a Mec JR, mount it on a hunk of plywood and C-clamp it to the kitchen table. We'll see. right now I'm just leaning toward picking up a cheap 12 gauge and putting the 10 gauge on the back burner.
I don't know if I'll shoot Saturday but I plan on coming to the match at KC's Corral to watch/help out. I hope to see some of you there.
-
Miles it's good yur still around - I wus startin to wunder 'bout ya! It's a shame life gets in tha way of shootin', but good ta see yur back! Ya know, if'n ya ask a pard to reload fer ya (you furnish the hulls, powder, wads, shot and anything else I can't recall at this time) someone would probably load it up fer ya.
I'd stay away from Wildcat - he don't put no powder in his loads ( :o) - only kiddin Cuz!!
MM and I shoot plastic wads and we don't have no problems cleanin' plastic out of the tubes........ ain't that whut moose milk and the Chronicle are fer? We've even waited until the next day and still had no problems. Ballistol is a real GOOD thing........
Go with whut you can afford fer now - you'll still have more fun than those who shoot that heathen powder!
All hail the Holy Black.....
Smoke!
Fire!
Boom!
Stink!
Can I git an "Amen" from my Fire and Brimstone fambily?
-
AMEN!
-
Miles ifn reloader space is an issue, there is a place called Hammer Double where you can git a tool to pop out the primer and then reseat the fresh one. Then all I do is use a BP charge tube from the muzzle loader and a 7/8 in (I think it is 7/8 in) dowel with a wooden ball on the end to compress the BP and the wads and shot. Now I admit I am using brass hulls but I would think you could come up wit a way to crimp them plastic hull. (Ya really augta shift over to brass). ;D
It will take me about 30 mins. to load 25. Most of the time is spent cleaning the inside of the hull near the top with alcohol so as the glue I use to hold the over shot card will stick.
However ya do it, just remember it is all about the smoke, fire and BOOOOM.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
-
SNIP
(Ya really augta shift over to brass). ;D
SNIP
Yep, that's the problem the 10 gauge brass is expensive!! I appreciate the info though. I didn't know about Hammer Double, now I won't be afraid to pick up a pinfire shotgun if I find one! :D I'm just gonna pick up a cheap 12 gauge with my part of the tax return, shoot cheapo smokeless shotgun shells :o and I'll slowly buy 10 gauge brass until I have enough. ;) I will just buy enough BP 12 gauge shells to get me through Thunder in the Brush so I can shoot it frontiersman.
Is there a match at West Point on Sunday the 16th next month? If so I can definately make it and should be shooting blackpowder except for the scattergun. Like I say I'll stop by the match at KC's Corral on this Saturday but I won't be shooting, I need to go over to the pistol range and work a bit more with my C&B revolvers before I enter a match with 'em.
-
Pard, i'll loan you some shells when we shoot.
MM & TT you are right balistol will get that plastic wad stuff right out, and if it don't break cleaner sure will!! ;D
I usually keep 150 to 200 loads ready at all times

Wahooooooooooooooo - well no competition shooting for me this weekend.

Got a redone 11mm french round - so I won't have loose balls:)!!
A redone smokey 32 sw long round - BP triala for my Nagants.
I also want to work on my Mauser red nine - where it is shooting and an old berthier carbine.
I hope to see many of you at Pungo in March and then the two day after easter.

I'm a thinkin' that Will prolly cain't fit much more powder in them thar shells, from whut I heared from the reloadin process........ When I shot his shotgun shells at Va state a couple years back, I remember thinkin' that they wasn't no worse that my 20s that I shot when I wuz startin this game. Probably whut got me thinkin bout dis smoke and boom stuff. That and Querida Kate's purple feather shotgun loads... 8)
I got some prayers up for all my pards but special ones go up fer Will's mom and SB's dad. Funny how they worried about us for so long and now the tables have turned.....
I remember my mon telling me that my brother and I gave her and dad gray hairs....now they are givin' to me. I'm a thinkin that love might have sumtin ta do wid it too. I didn't start gettin mine until I fell fer that man of mine. Mebbee pure, unadultrated love jus squeezes out the hairs a nice, pure white color. ;D

WW,
Sorry to take so long to respond. I first need to say that the wife and I have added both your family and Sodbuster's to our prayers. Next I have to tell you I am working this weekend (23rd and 24th) so no matches for me. :( I will be off on the first of March, that is the day of the Pungo match, right? If so I will make that match. I might need to borrow a shotgun (I can provide smokeless 12 gauge shells) but other then that I should be OK. I'll be bringing a Pietta 1862 Police, a brace of Pietta 1858 Remington Navys (all in .36) and my 1860 Henry in .44-40 so I'll almost be shooting all BP. Once the tax return gets here my better half has said I can finish outfitting to reload shotgun and then I will be all set!

The one thing I have learned shooting the Holy Black (ALWAYS capialtzed!) is do not shoot with your mouth open! It's a lot of fun, but as much as it causes "stink," it tastes BAD..... :P
Smiling and yelling, "YEEEEE HAAAAAW!" is socially acceptable at any time before, during and after the stage - just make sure the smoke is moving away from your oral cavity.....
Choking the RO, spotters and others standing close is a MUST! If'n they can't see a miss or a procedural, they can't penalize you fer it!
Soul soothing smoke, boom, stink and AAAACK! Too bad I can't be there to partake in the joy and jubilation!

Sod Buster happy to hear everything went well with your father. :)
Okay now let me get all of this straight. I got pulled to the Darkside (always capitalize Darkside) by my good friends Arcey and The Wildman. Most of the pull was because the two of them seemed to be having entirely too much fun. Now it was the Fire and Smoke and BOOOOM Yeeeeee Haaaaaaaaa ;D that I really enjoyed.
I kinda figured the Stink was simply one more way to cause the RO and the spotters to gag. :o ;D ::) Nothin I like better than seeing the RO standing as far away as possible. :: Course I also have ta laugh when the RO looks to the spotters and they all start looking at each other and saying "I didn't see any misses." ;D
Now TT I aint never particularly tasted the glorious Smoke. I always thought just breathing it in was nuff fir me. ;D

Dang weather dun me in agin! :'( Just kant see spending $50 in gas hoping we will be able to shoot. Guess I am passing on West Point today. :'(

As the last shoot I could make before my surgery I kinda feel the same way only stronger WW. It would have been my first time shooting at West Point. I won't be a Pungo next weekend because it's my weekend to be On-Call.

WW and LIT, that is good part about do family visits usually the weekend I go to shoots. Otherwise, it would feel rotten to drive all the way down for nothing.
LIT we will miss you at Pungo - looks like we have Mild Myles back for that weekend and with WW's help - shooting dirty and stinky!!:)
The weather has been pretty raining up here - so I may even not get to shoot in the back paddock at parents to test some things out - just too slick.
Here is hoping for good weather next weekend.

Well ya'll should have been there. It wuz dry but got a bit cold, never did see 50f, that's fur shur. We had 25 shooters, shot 2 posses and wuz done and packed up by 1:45.

Sorry I missed all of you, sounds like you had a great shoot. I figured the rain would stop, but I didn't want to take a chance of slipping and falling with this knee. It will most likely be May before I can shoot after my surgery, if everything goes okay. If it ddoesn't I might have to slap a SASS sticker on a hoveround and build a tow behind gun cart! ;D
Once I get back on my feet I hope to be loading smokey, stinky brass shotgun shells and casting my own bullets for my smokey and stinkey rifle and pistol rounds. Y'all make plenty of smoke, and flame, and BOOM, and stink, especially at Pungo while I am convalescing.

Maybe in April we can all drive down together.
When does Fredericksburg start back up?

Speaking of up coming matches, I'll be at Pungo this coming Saturday but will miss Cavalier Sunday as I will be driving up to PA to visit Dad. Work will keep me from KC's Corral on the 15th and I believe there isn't a match at West Point on the 16th. Work will also keep me from the 2 day match on the 29th-30th of March and the Pungo match on April 5th. So I think the next match after this Saturday I can make is the Cavalier match on 6 April, have I missed any?
Thanks!

Hated to miss West Point but just as I was about to start loading the truck, thunder started and it just seemed a bit risky. Went to the parents house and took care of some chores I was gonna do today. Of course today is beautifully sunny so maybe I can get into the shed and cut up some lead bricks I got a while back.

combination of poor weather forecast and I've been fighting off the crud, kept me away this week. I will be back with some luck next week.....I've been needin' a Darkside fix for some time

When does Fredericksburg start back up?
They start back up in March as well.
March: 3rd Sunday (no West Point shoot & 4th Sunday is Easter)
April: 4th Sunday (normal scheduled date)
May: 2nd Saturday (conflicts on both 3rd & 4th Sundays)
June-November: 4th Sunday (normal)
Come & help make smoke, boom, and stink since the MD there doesn't like it that much. ;D

I am trying to shoot the two day at Mattaponi at end of March
-
YEEEEEE HAAAAAA!!! We're gona make SMOKE on the MATTAPONI.
Talked to Flatboat Bob yesterday and then cleared a few things up today. The Mattaponi Sundowners(West Point) is gona have an ALL BLACK POWDER MATCH! Yeeeeee Haaaaa! This is gona be a fund raising match to help raise money to put a dividing wall on our range from about the 25 yard line to the berm. This will allow us to run two separate bays independent of each other and allow for down range movement and other fun stuff. We're still in the plannin stages and we want ta git some feedback from ya'll on what ya think. Here is what we got so far;
Date: Saturday, 31 May 2008. This is a fifth Saturday the weekend after Memorial day. As far as we can determine there are no conflicts with other shoots. The original date we were looking at in June conflicts with the MD State Championship.
Time: Shooters meeting at 10:30, start shootin at 11:00. We decided to start a little later than normal so the folks that have a long drive don’t have ta git up as early. This time of the year daylight won’t be a problem.
Place: West Point Gun Club
Categories: You can shoot any SASS Category but you must shoot BLACK POWDER or an approved substitute in all firearms. Since everyone has to shoot BP then the regular Frontier Cartridge Category will be merged with Traditional and FC Duelist will be Duelist. Frontiersman will remain as such since that is C&B.
Awards: We will present an award for all categories and to the Overall Match Winner for both Ladies and Men. First Place awards will be some type of badge or something like that, Feather will be working on that. Second and Third Place will receive a certificate. All awards will be presented at the end of the match as fast as I can get the scores done and print the certificates. I will be doing the scores during the match so it shouldn’t take too long.
Match Fee: $25.00 per shooter. This is more than the normal monthly match fee but the main purpose of this match is to raise additional money for the range wall. That thing is not going to be cheap and anyone that ever shoots at West Point will benefit from it.
Registration: Pre registration is not required however we are limited to a maximum of 50 shooters. I don’t know what kind of response we will have for this shoot but folks that pre register will have priority and we will take walk in shooters up to our max of 50. Pre registration consist of emailing me and tellin me yur comin and what category you will be shootin. Match fees will be paid at the shoot. Pre registration also helps me with setting up the posses ahead of time and lets us know what categories we have to get awards for. If nobody pre registers for a category then we will not have a First Place award, other than a certificate, for that category.
Stages: 6
Rules/Exceptions: The Mattaponi Sundowners is a SASS Affiliated Posse and all SASS Rules apply with the following exceptions;
Any round over the berm is a Match DQ.
No movement allowed with drawn pistols or a live round in any long gun. Basket ball rule applies. A 10 second minor safety will be assessed for each violation.
Black powder or an approved substitute must be used in all guns. (This match only)
So, what do ya’ll think? Sound like somethin yur interested in?

Sounds like I'll be shooting in fredericksburg in April - since the first part of the month will be Lexington, VA.
PR, I just got an email stating the F'burg club is thinking about changing thier dates to the 2nd Saturday of the month - the same day as the Lexington shoot. Not my idea...and not a smart one IMHO.

Lemme talk with my agent ‘n have his girl call Bob’s…….

SB - what are they thinking?
Must not get alot of of shooters coming from the south then I guess. It is actually closer for me to go to Damascus then F-burg but we shall see.

There has been some chatter on the SASS Wire that the WB has decreed that there will not be any Blackpowder 'Championships'. They must be called "Shootouts". They do not want anyone called a "Champion". For example "The SASS Virginia Black Powder Shootout"
By contract, any level of "Shootout" be it State or Territorial (regional) can NOT, repeat NOT name an overall men's and ladies winner, whether titled "champion" or not ... in other words, a shooter winning his/her category within his/her corresponding State "Shootout" is named ONLY as the "category winner" and NOT a "Champion." To be named as a State BP "Champion," a shooter must win a BP category at the State-level SASS Championship match.
Category winners of the "Shootout Series" receive only pins stating they are a "Black Powder Shootout Winner." And to further "Rodney Dangerfield-ize" the issue, some states have given these pins to ALL participants at the State-level Shootout regardless of their finish.
Further, some matches have elected to "lump" all BP categories together, resulting in a Frontiersman or FCD competing against an FC "traditional" shooter.
If some enterprising souls would/should put some thought into it, it's quite possible that the WB would entertain a form of State/Territorial/National/World-level competition ladder just for us shooters of the one true powder. But we'd probably have to forego the ability to win a "Championship" at the State-level matches as they're currently configured.

In Louisiana, they had all categories when they held their BP match.
I think the only difference in BP tradional and Frontier Cartridge, was the traditional shooters could still shoot their pump guns - at least three stoked their 97's with BP loads - one with BP and brass.
What a magnificent sounds that was - the brass clanging with the reciever and the boom and fire -whew - makes me weak in the knees - just remembering!!:)
The Free State Match at Damascus was a big success last year. I think MM is right - we just have to find the right spot. The Free State Match had I think had 60+ - that would make things too tight both at West Point and Wakefield.
I think this will be great - Think Doc Cavity will shoot smokey??!!:)

Personally I don't care if it's called a championship or shoot out. Long as I git ta make SMOKE! I won the SASS VA State Frontier Cartridge Duelist Championship last year and although I am proud of it I doubt if anyone else remembers it so what does it matter what it is called. Am I any less of a winner if it was called the SASS VA State BP Shootout Winner? No, would the win mean less to me? No. Actually, if ya think about it, it might not be that bad of a thing. This will keep the smokeless shooters that only shot BP once a year from being the "BP Champion" If being the SASS FC State Champion is someone’s goal they can still do it at the regular State shoot and only have to compete against folks that shoot FC most of the time.
As far as some shoots lumping all BP categories into one.....Well they can't do that at state shoots and above. All SASS Sponsored state level and above shoots MUST recognize ALL SASS Categories.

There were 60 registered shooters for last year's MARYLAND STATE BLACK POWDER CHAMPIONSHIP. Only 55 showed up.
I don't recall how many they hoped to get but they didn't fill up. This year they are cutting off registration at 120.

Sassy said she wanted no part of it - she tried shooting some of our loads a few months back, but they made her back hurt. I think she's going to spot for the match.

Pards and pardettes I will not be making smoke on saturday.
I am down hard with flu bug and my though of being better enough to maybe shoot cavalier has faded away.
The only good news is my fever broke this afternoon and I swallowed down some chicken noddle and broth - man did it taste good and feel good.
I have told Sassy Shooting Sours to put me down for the two day Match at end of March - so I will see ya'll then.
Make some smoke for me - and WW be nice to them targets - if'n you keep killin them - they may just start moving for real!! ;D :D

We've been hit pretty hard at the jail (staff that is). Lots of fluids in very small amounts each time. Start off with the clear liquids for 24 hours. If ya kin keep that stuff down, bland soft diet for 24 hours and work your way up from there. I usually drink gatorade cut in half with water (too much sugar = diarrhea). Small frequent intake is key to success and better health. HM2 advice.....

Just got over the crud meownself, ditto Trina's advise.

PR, sorry to hear you won't make it, I look forward to seeing you again soon.
A couple of quick questions about the Pungo match (nothing like waiting to the last minute :o )
1. Can I use a traditional style leather muzzleloading possible's pouch (the originial man purse, sorry Jack Bauer!) for shotgun shells? If not I'll stick 'em in my vest pockets.
2. My 12 and a half year old son wants to come and assist at the match. He is a SASS member ("Hawkeye Wyatt") but doesn't shoot yet. Heck he couldn't shoot at Pungo for another 2 years anyway. He knows he can't handle guns at the match and that he would probably be picking up brass but says he is OK with that. He's a Boy Scout and knows enough to listen to adults and do what he's told. Something came up and his mom can't come to the match, who do I need to check with to make sure he won't be stuck in the car all day or that we would have to turn around a go home? Of course if there is an issue I'll take him home but I was figuring he's got a young back and is closer to the ground then most of us....
3. How do I recognize Wildcat Will who said he'll let me borrow a scatter gun with BP loads? Just in case something happens I will bring some heathen 12 ga loads but hope not to have to resort to them.
I'm sure I'll think of something else around midnight tonight but I guess that's it for now. I did print out and read the Pungo Posse Range Rules so I think I'm good there and I plan to show up by 8:30.

Ya can't miss Wildcat Will (http://thumb18.webshots.net/t/64/64/6/22/45/2237622450037882758lBMMMi_th.jpg) (http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2237622450037882758lBMMMi)
The possibles bag should be fine. From the SASS Shooter's handbook;
Pouches shall have a flap and must carry their contents loose, with no special provisions to organize the contents for rapid retrieval.
As far as yur son, I don't see a problem with him helpin out as long as he knows how to be safe. Heck I welcome anyone that's willin ta pick up brass. :) We had a small problem awhile back with yungins "playing" in the shooter' area and spectators getting too close to the fireing line. That's reason for the current policies. If we are shooting from the covered area it gets crowed real quick. When we are shootin from the range floor it isn't as much of an issue. VB Southpaw has the final word. He's the Posse Sheriff. Hope ta see ya tomorrow.

Wildcat is easy ta find. He’s the one with all the screamin’ teen-aged girls jumpin’ ‘round ‘n passin’ out when he shows up………..

Myles sorry I am going to miss you shooting again.
Good news - I ate real food today - nice simple fish fry for lent.
I usually have a spicy sauce to go on the fish but passed this time.
I have used some of my lucid time to do some reloading chores (800 - 38 spl cases cleaned/reprimed, 400 - 44 russian cases primed and 20 - 43 spanish rounds made (4.4 cc's of powder in each one of those - BIG BOOM)) and finish up my taxes - got my bro-inlaw figuring the finale this weekend. With 3rd kid and wife not working for at least the next year - going to have my taxes redone after I get my return.
Enjoy the smokey camadrie. Send a few down range for me.

Time to go take the cough medicine - I need the sleep.
I got some chicken soup - we call it Jewish penicillin, back home in NY. Those old Jewish ladies could make some awesome chicken soup. Kosher too! ;D

I have Jewish cousins - anything the gramma makes is superb!!
Had some sausage and biscuit this am - not my usual amounts - since tummy is still getting back to normal.
Filled up on soup.
Enjoy a shooting weekend pards, looks a little windy up here today but temp is not bad and tomorrow almost looks perfect!!

Boys ‘n ladies, I do believe we’ve lucked out this winter it Pungo. Ain’t had one cold shoot from November ‘til taday.
Got me some misses. Got me a procedural. And, I SHOT GERTY!!! Got her good too!
The downside was when I got back here I found Pleazin’ with this damned flu bug.

I had a GREAT time at Pungo today! ;D I shot Frontiersman, .44-40 1860 Henry, Pietta 1862 "Army Police", Pietta 1858 Remington Navy (both .36 C&B), and I borrowed a "Bounty Hunter" SXS shotgun from Wildcat Will (thanks again!) so I was able to shoot all black powder, all the time! Everything worked good until stage 4 when I had a cap not go off (hit it twice) in the Colt. I was in a hurry to load for stage 5 so I just recapped that nipple without doing anything else and that chamber didn't fire on stage 5 either. After the match I swapped nipples and it still didn't go off. >:( As soon as my bride gets out of the kitchen (I do the hot soapy water and dry in the oven cleaning technique) I'll tear it down and see what is going on. Otherwise the match went great, I think I missed 3 total, including the 2 "duds" so I count it as missing one shot for the match. Not bad seeing how I don't remember the last time I have fired one handed!
To be honest I did feel bad taking so much time to load and get ready so I may switch to frontier cartridge in the near future. A couple times at the loading table a cap flipped in the capper and once the next shooter had to go ahead of me while I finished loading. I don't feel too bad since I helped to set up and tear down, I figure that makes up for some of the extra time! ;)
On the plus side the Henry worked great! I got a complement on my "Boss of the Plains" Stetson (he wanted to know where to buy one like it) and unlike some poor cowboys I was able to shove it far enough down on my head that it didn't fly off during the match! All in all a wonderful day at the range!

Had sum X-perimental pizzle loads fer shootin’. They had sum stink to ‘em. Just had a few ta test. They showin’ some promise. Gonna werk with them sumore.
Most what went down range was plain ole Heap Bad Medicines with Heap Bad Medicine lube. Dumped the same lube in the lube/sizor (slippery, nasty stuff) fer the riffle boolets. Be glad when that mess runs out. Pinch the boolet twix yer thumb ‘n forefinger ta take it out the press ‘n if ya ain’t careful it’ll squirt half way ‘cross the barn.
Wind was blowin’, ‘n I do mean blowin’, downrange. Only got me a couple whiffs ‘n when I did most smelled like Yankee candles.
Darn. I gottah rethink this thing. I want my stink back. Doan wanna smell like a sissy.

My Bride told me tonight if Sassy Shootin' Sour is changing her mine about the Black Powder match she would shoot it also, Now I got to werk down a pizzel load fer her ;D May have to get some Schoefield or AJ's cowboy .45 brass. To do it with.

If we can git her to shoot, I got plenty of .38s she can use. Since I'm usin my .45s I got a pair of smoke wagons or a pair of New Vaqueros, my marlin CBC and plenty of SXS shotguns she can use. She'd jus need to bring her own leather. I also got plenty of .38 Ammo already loaded and the pistol stuff isn't bad at all.

Just fer you, pretty girl:
YEEEEEE HAAAAAA!!! We're gona make SMOKE on the MATTAPONI.
The Mattaponi Sundowners(West Point) is gona have an ALL BLACK POWDER MATCH! Yeeeeee Haaaaa! This is gona be a fund raising match to help raise money to put a dividing wall on our range from about the 25 yard line to the berm. This will allow us to run two separate bays independent of each other and allow for down range movement and other fun stuff.
Date: Saturday, 31 May 2008. This is a fifth Saturday the weekend after Memorial day.
Time: Shooters meeting at 10:30, start shootin at 11:00. We decided to start a little later than normal so the folks that have a long drive don’t have ta git up as early. This time of the year daylight won’t be a problem.
Place: West Point Gun Club
Categories: You can shoot any SASS Category but you must shoot BLACK POWDER or an approved substitute in all firearms. Since everyone has to shoot BP then the regular Frontier Cartridge Category will be merged with Traditional and FC Duelist will be Duelist. Frontiersman will remain as such since that is C&B.
Awards: We will present an award for all categories and to the Overall Match Winner for both Ladies and Men. First Place awards will be some type of badge or something like that, Feather will be working on that. Second and Third Place will receive a certificate. All awards will be presented at the end of the match as fast as I can get the scores done and print the certificates. I will be doing the scores during the match so it shouldn’t take too long.
Match Fee: $25.00 per shooter. This is more than the normal monthly match fee but the main purpose of this match is to raise additional money for the range wall. That thing is not going to be cheap and anyone that ever shoots at West Point will benefit from it.
Registration: Pre registration is not required however we are limited to a maximum of 50 shooters. I don’t know what kind of response we will have for this shoot but folks that pre register will have priority and we will take walk in shooters up to our max of 50. Pre registration consist of emailing me at missourimarshal@verizon.net and tellin me yur comin and what category you will be shootin. Match fees will be paid at the shoot. Pre registration also helps me with setting up the posses ahead of time and lets us know what categories we have to get awards for. If nobody pre registers for a category then we will not have a First Place award, other than a certificate, for that category.
Rules/Exceptions: The Mattaponi Sundowners is a SASS Affiliated Posse and all SASS Rules apply with the following exceptions;
Any round over the berm is a Match DQ.
No movement allowed with drawn pistols or a live round in any long gun. Basket ball rule applies. A 10 second minor safety will be assessed for each violation.
Black powder or an approved substitute must be used in all guns. (This match only)
So, what do ya’ll think? Sound like somethin yur interested in?

Chorus
I'm as
Dark as bronc on the western plains
Just as wild and twice as hard to tame
As high on living as a noon day sun, yea
I'll be Dark til the day i'm done.
Heathen folks think i'm crude i guess
You can tell i'm a hick by the way i dress
But that don't matter i'm as happy as can be
And proud as heck that i'm Dark.
Well there's nothing wrong with Smokeless if you like it that's fine
Drivin' them freeways wasting its time,
But i bet you folks in the back of your mind, kinda wish you was
a Darksider
Chorus
Come on boys keep singing them Darksider songs who knows maybe we will just
Convert some of these Heathen folks into Darksider folks and they'll all move out to
The Darksider and then the Darkside wont be Darkside anymore. hold on
I just gave you one side to the whole picture because
Darkside is smoke and fire and Brimstone where your barrels get up to a hundred above
And the works is hard
And the pay sure low and it ain't all roses being a Darksider
Hang in there folks don't do nothin' foolish now
You got yourself a nice high paying job air conditioned offices
Yea you got movie theaters right on down the street there
You got yourself a Heathen range too, now that's the Darkside
And there you don't have to worry about no rattle snakes biting on your leg
Or no abdominal snowman coming down and tearing off your head or nothing like
That there ;D
Thanks Chris for letting me butcher yer song

Cleaned 2 pistolas and 2 rifles this afternoon meownself, spritz'd down last weekend with Moose milk. Hit'm again with it today the fouling and crud run out the muzzel. Pull of the Boresnake finished, a touch of Gunbutter back to the safe. I love this game ;D
-
I loves it myownself.
Longs as there’s folks what think ya needs a tea kittle ah boilin’ water ‘n soap ta clean ‘em up maybe that’ll scare ‘nuff folks away there’ll be more for us. We need not ferget stickin’ ‘em in an oven. Maybe even stickin’ a live cartridge in there with ‘em.
Ain’t arguin’ the point no more. Someone wants ta prove me wrong, meet me at the range ‘n bring money. Lots ah money. I’m old ‘n retired. Fixed income. I can use it.

Lawd, what a great game!

TT and MM how did ROA go? Sorry I had to miss it. As it turned out my mother's surgery got postponed. Dun told them the second weekend in April has gotta be avoided!!!
-
Once agin, ROA was fantastic! Friday it wuz rainin - we almost didn't do side matches cuz of it, but when we went to register the rain had disappeared. So we shot a couple of them and went on back to the campground. The weather on Sattidy left A LOT to be desired..... I think it was the coldest shoot I ever shot. We had rain, sleet, snow and lots of bone-chillin wind. The warmest I wuz wuz in the outhouse. I think Barbara Blue Eyes wuz the smart one on the posse - she quit shootin and went back to the truck. The rest of us fools shot the next three stages. The weather guesser said the temp was supposed to get down to the 20s so we disconnected the water hose. The weather guesser was right - it were really cold when MM got back from the banquet. Sunday was beautiful! Chilly in the early morning, but warmed up right nice. I think we'll try it agin next year.........
-
Yes it was COLD Saturday at ROA but after it wuz over it jus makes it one of them shoots that ya remember. Met some new pards, that's always good, saw some pards we hadn't seen fer awhile, that's aways great. Few things Trina left out. She won the Ladies Deringer, Pocket Pistol and Long Range Rifle sidematches and took 3rd in Ladies Frontier Cartridge. I didn't do as well on the side matches but I did manage ta hit a bowling pin at 125yds with my 45-70 highwall offhand, 2 out of three tries(they had ta go fix it each time, knocked it plumb silly.) I also managed to come in 2nd FCD.

Wahoooooooooooooo MM and TT are back!!

Had to go out today and get some cartridge holder boxes for the 44's and some more elmers white glue for my shotgun loads.
stopped bya saddlery place and brought home a plain set of saddle bags not even died yet - may give it to Flat boat to die back for me.

The gents I have seen wearing the sash - have the upper portion underneath their belts with only the bottom portions showing.
They said otherwise the cloth will curl over your belt - regardless of the physical build of the shooter.
Wahoooooooooooooooooooo - what color should we choose???

Color is predetermined, I believe you wear a black sash if you are a Soot Shooter, Gunfighters can wear a purple sash. In the case of Wilcat Will a mixed sash of purple and black would be very appropriate.

The application said ya can only put down 3 and we had to put each other down so then we put Wildcat Will and Poney Racer. Would have put ya all down but I went to Lincoln County RII School and they taught us ta count all the way to 10 so I know what 3 means. ;D

WildCat Will now you know them Yankee Pards weren't all that bad, even if'n they talk'd with an accent. Heck the one fella shot all 6 stages in under 2 minutes so he could enjoy our comapny more.

Ya are correct LR. But ya know he didnt git his moneys worth. All day and the drive from PA to shoot fur 2 minutes. Young fella too. My my my. Kept tellin the boy ta slow down and smell the roses or smoke or stink or whatever. Just slow down. ;D

Good video Roo!
I think your next production should be a compilation of multiple SOOT Brothers and Sisters shooting with maybe something like "Fire" as the musical background.

Maybe the West Point Black Powder shoot?
Oh, nooooo! Pictoral evidence of the elusive, rarely seen, rarely heard (thank God!) Missouri Wildcat? :o
So, when is that sawbones gonna let ya get out and about in yur gear?
-
It will be a while yet Cuzzin Trina. I do plan to shoot that Black Powder match and that may be my first match since I stood down to have this operation.
The leg is getting stronger every day, I still have some pain, but today in therapy I achieved full range of motion for both flexsion and extension, the therapist was amazed
I expect to have some limitations once I fully recover. I don't expect my body will tolerate walking for any significant distance, nor will it tolertate standing for a prolonged period of time. If a stage requires kneeling I will either need a rolled towel to kneel on and help getting up from a kneeling position, a ruling saying I don't have to kneel based on my condition(best possible solution), or I will have to take a DNF or Stage DQ.
I won't be able to carry anything heavy so I would be very limited in set up and take down. I guess I'd better beef up my spotting and brass picking skills. I'm just gonna be a broke Cowpoke! ;D

I am toying with the WV BP match but that is in July. Could be a little warm.
When is TIB or has it already happened?
Is West Point shooting the fourth Sat this month? Is Lost River shooting later in the month?

Here is the word on sashes
Black was for Parsons and Priests.
Red was for NCO's
Burgundy - Line and Staff officers was for Artillery/Infantry and staff
Yellow was for Cav
Now I am sure we can find purple to be a little different if we want.
What do ya'll think

As I understand it Black is for Darksiders and Purple is for Gunfighers.

So black and purple sashes it be!!
Will have to see if Henry has any sashes next weekend.
if not will have took at where to buy several and get a good deal for everyone. A quick look on interent has Coon Creek with the best prices at 35.00 a sash.

So, does this mean WW has to have a half purple/half black sash? ???
Striped? Plaid? Polka dots? Oh, wouldn't that be just cute..... 8) WW in polka dots..... :o
Is this fer the men only or are us wimmen folk supposed to wear them thangs too?
I don't know how much more I can fit betwixt me and my belt.......
-
That would depend Trina. When he is shooting FCD he would only need the Black Sash. Since FCGF is not an official SASS class yet he would only need to wear the Black and Purple sashes when he wants to be crazy like WW. Of course you could get him to start a new trend and get him a Black and Purple Plaid Kilt to wear to the matches. ;D

TT - you don't have to wear it or you can.
I may just wear mine for dressing up
It is all for fun, no forced wearing of sashes - at least not from me.

As I understand it Black is for Darksiders and Purple is for Gunfighers.

I got another use for dead sheep - eating - a nice side of lamb cooked medium well is a wonderful center piece for dinner.
You know in Louisiana - they had the daddy and daughter dress deal. If'n your daughter beat you time wise, regardless of category, you had to wear a dress to the next shoot, of her choosing. The few men who did it were plum embarrased to wear a dress but plum proud of their little girls being fast sharpshooters.

Poney try "Track of the Wolf" online, good prices, usually have what you need in stock, reasonable shipping. WW told me he uses the 11 gauge wads for the 12 gauge Brass Shells to get the fit right, I tried some 12 gauge in the brass shells I just got and everything would be falling out if I used the 12 gauge size.

LIT roger that.
I have used TOW before for other things.
If'n no one has them this weekend - I will probably order through them again.

Well - hopefully next time we canall hoop and holler together and stay regular when it comes to getting rid of bodily stuff:)!
Reloading operations have begun as my bp 44 bullets came and i have loaded some already, all brass from match has been cleaned and the shotgun shells will be deprimed tonight and reloaded and drying(the white glue) by the weekend.
Planning on reloading around 200 44 bulets and then probably load up 400 or 500 38 spl rounds too.
At next monthly think I will bring my 44's but finally play around with a pair of Nagants too, as well as test out my new and improved 11mm french loads - looking at the Wakefield match first of May and then TIB IV as next shooting endeavors
BTW - Dutch Henry can get us our sashes and can easily get purple and black - they are 35.00 a pop.

That sounds like a good price PR. Did Dutch give you an address or a contact number so we can order them?

dutchhenry33@yahoo.com. He definitely can get black and purple among other colors.
Going to be a horsey weekend for my kin with Steeplechase races this saturday.
Loaded up some holy black 44 russian loads (was using APP only with bullets with modern lube - got my 205's with bp lube in and those have 1.3cc's of schuetzen FFFG behind them) - and reconstituting my shotgun shell supply after Mattaponi two day and ROUND-UP.

I can't believe it but I am having a family event overtake Smoke on the Mattaponi; the finalized plan is not done yet - so hoping things get sorted in on my behalf but if not - a daddy/uncle has to do what he has to do!
I'll do a posting later today and see who wants what.
So will it be Purple or Black - both will be good to go with the Fire & Brimstone Posse.
PR
-
Howabout a black sash with the F&B badge embroidered on the end so it would show when the sash is worn. Or just have Fire and Brimestone Posse embroidered in gray (for the smoke) or orange/red (for the fire) near the end of the sash so it would be seen when worn.
-
Will we would have to buy the basic sash from Dutch and then find a place that would do the stitching you are talking about. Most places I have dealt with through work associates use machines to do the embroidery these days and there is usually a stiff set up fee for the initial design.
-
Depending on what the setup fee is, we can easily share the cost among us. We would just need to get a large enough initial comittment. I like WW's idea for the stiching at the end.
-
I do too and it just happens that I worked in a large fabric store in my younger years.
Let me see if I can find a family friend - who we would still have to pay but could get whatever we want at reasonable cost.

Well, we's heer.... we're dirty and tired, but we's heer......
NO ORANGE on sashes.......... I try like hell to get away from that color and now ya want we to put it on my cowgirl gear??? HARUMPH! Where's that skillet.....
Nope, that weren't the elusive Missouri Wildcat, just Missouri havin a blast!
We'll post more later, we gotta take a nap.......
Glad ta see ya'll behaved whilest we wuz gone ::)

Trina, that was just one of Will's suggestions. I think most liked the idea of the Fire and Brimstone Posse Badge embroidered at the end of the sash. We have all seen you shoot, we're not gonna try ta make ya wear orange if ya don't want too.
-
OK! Feeling much more like a human bean now! Whew!! Put lots of miles on the iron horse and mobile bunk house these last two weeks......
Oh ya'll have got to go to tha cowboy hall of fame out yonder in OK..... what a bee-u-t-ful spot!! We wood have loved to spend more time lookin round, but they wuz tellin ta go git our vittles. We looked round afterwards fer about an hour, but you need LOTS more time thar! Them OK-la-homa folks shure know where and how to put on a bankwit! MM took sum pictures, but they done do the place justice...........
MM took second place in FC Duelist, Miz Annie took Ladies Senior (shooting heathen powder), QT Kate took first place Ladies FC and her fledging, me, got second.
Guys if'n ya can go, Landrun is the BEST!!!! The pards out thar are fantastic! I'm shure MM will put the pictures on his website soon nuff.
I'm all fer the badge on tha sash..........
-
Congrats to all of you and Welcome back
-
I think badge on sash is nice too.
I plan on going out this weekend to show a copy of the badge to some people I know who maybe able to help us. Plus I need to test out my new smokey 11mm french loads and new smokey Nagant loads.
If the Nagants work reliably with the BP loads - may just have to try them out next monthly match. So no Wakefield for me this coming weekend. I plan on seeing ya'll for TIB IV though!!
There is a Civil War shootout (North/South skirmish) the same weekend days as TIB IV - I am going to see if I can take a week day before that weekend and go out to Winchester to look at a vendors sashes ( it looked like everything gets set up tuesday and runs through that sunday (13-18 May).
One of the vendors sells sashes and for the week of the event they are 20-25.00. Now at a Civil war re-enactment - I may not be able to get pruple but I know I can get black. I did ask Dutch Henry if he can get purple and he said yes.
I'll let you guys know how it goes.
MM and TT - glad to have ya'll back in VA
Wahoooooooooooo, Yehawwwwwwwwwwwwww This ain't no stinking library!!

I believe either Thurday or Friday they shoot a Gatlin at n-s sa, talk about a gamer gun ;D
I need to try and get there that week my self, I need some stirups for a McClelland saddle I want to restore

Going to try to hit the event on Firday am, before I head down to Williamsburg for TIB IV.
So whose all coming to TIB IV?

Congratulations to Flat Boat Bob who shot the entire match CLEAN today at Cavalier with his Ruger Old Army C&B pistols!
No misses
No misfires
No problems
-
Now come on Sod Buster, you know we NEVER shoot CLEAN ;D
-
Hehehehe - dirty sweep!
I did get to try out some things at parents farm
I am convined that I may just buy French 11mm rounds from my pard I have met in wisconsin - his loads hit the target - mine seem to sometimes, sometimes not. He does not charge extra for his BP loads in 11mm - so no biggee
Nagant revolver with bp loads - what fun this was. You really need to clean bore and cylinder afterwards because all the fouling goes down the barrel out due to how the cylinder face seals against the barrel. I do not make my own yet - but it just 32sw long with bp.
44 Russian BP loads - with true Schuetzen Holy black - whoa nelly - was I grinning ear to ear. I will need to be more on top of balistol shooting holy black vice APP - but man the real stuff - nice!!!
Next monthly match at Pungo I may shoot an 11mm french pistol and a Nagant for kicks!! I know I won't be scored officially due to using the 11mm french pistol - but that is ok!!

True....maybe we should give BLACK poker chips to those Darksiders that shoot the match with no misses.
Congrats to Flatboat Bob who shot the whole match DIRTY all day!
How's that?

Awww, c’mon y’all. Last stage, unloadin’ table yestiddy. Question was asked when I finished dumpin’ empties out the 7 ½. Put it in front of the pard ‘n told him ta see for hisownself. Sprayed ‘em in ‘n out with Moosemilk at the truck. Left ‘em wet ’n put ‘em in their sweat socks.
Cleaned the pistols sittin’ in the driveway with the wife after supper this evenin’. Reckon the neighbors didn’t notice. The SWAT team never showed up. Thinkin’ us Goex shooters er right tidy.
Congrats, Bob!

Hey, somebody has to work and make some money so I can buy boolits. ;D

Ya know, I do think about that every weekend I have to work.... The only problem is that we supervisors schedule our time off so that the jail/team is manned properly. If I'm REALLY sick, I have no problem calling in, but if I'm not, I do have a hard time playing sick. ESPECIALLY when I end up getting sun on my face and arms..... the dead giveaway.....
Guess I have to work to keep the Marshal/Wildcat in the lifestyle he's accustomed to.................... :-X

Yup. I am the same way. I am surrounded by co-workers who "schedule" sick days. How can they do that? How do they know they will be sick? I am thinking that I am the fool....the dedicated one that works & works while the others play.

Guys looks like I am picking up a Marlin cowboy from a good friend who made FLAG officer and caan't cowboy shoot anymore due to lack of time.
Gone over by Longhunter and everything I am also getting his cart - mine is slowly fallying apart.
He still has ruger blackhawks in 45 - one is a liberty model, one is not - both smoothed out by a local but well known local Baton Rouge gunsmith.
The Marlin I do not need but it matches up with my 44's better and the price was sweet.
Now I can have louder, 44/45 cowboy days and still loud but not as much 38 cowboy days.

The Fire and Brimstone Posse road hard through the wilds of Richmond in support of the TIB IV shootout.
Much powder and bullets was spent defending the territory of our pards and pardettes..
One or two shotguns met their untimely short term ends due to the vigorous defense. However, they will rise again to shoot another day!!
The vaunted Death Star Twins - who teasingly waved at many a shooters attempts were destroyed by the power of the Only True Powder and some hot shotgun loads!
On a more humororus note - Longhorn Louie was a hoot to watch trying to dance around Flatboat's smoke while trying to time him - more than once the smoke changed direction and enveloped him again!!:)
I did get a cool new scar on the back of my neck from a hot case, but have the pleasure to report that whiel that sucker gave me that new scar on my neck; I continued to engage my targets and did not miss.
I did do a lot of Hooping and Hollering too!!:)

Darn……. Twin stars with a shotgun…… ‘N I missed it…… Dag nab it…… Who’d ah thunk it?

Surprised they didn't have some BP shotguns melt with them twin stars in tha mix.
-
My 38spl rifle loads - 1.3cc of app or schuetzen and a 158 grain bullet took care of the twin death stars.
I took the final plates on plate rack with shotgun - took me more than a few.
Now - once I get the Marlin I have made a deal for with one of my work mentors - I am sure I will not have any issue with death stars or knockdowns. Those 45lc loads will be hot!

I am sure there are some Surface Navy folks who do not like that at all.

Sorry, I kinda took the thread off topic. Two final notes and then we'll bet back to the SMOKEY stuff.
I don't believe any Sailor would ever object to a ship being named after ANY fallen shipmate.....Regardless of what part of the Navy they serve.
PR and any other Coasties out there, ya know I'm jus funnin with ya. A little Service Branch rivalrey. I have the utmost respect for everyone that serves in any branch of the service. I have served with several Coasties. Mostly on the ship in the picture. We would have CG Dets on board to do boardings during Counter Narcotics Operations in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico and we eventually got a CG Det on board to do boardings during the 1st Persian Gulf War, Operation Desert Shield. Let me tell ya, them boys got bigins to be doin them boardings in hostile waters. I salute you!. Now back on topic.
Got ta go an open up the cylinder gap on by 45 Colt clones so I can try them tomorrow at Mattaponi. When I shot the Holly Black out of them last weekend they started binding after only a few rounds. gaps are pretty tight. I'm goin ta open them up to about .007 - .008. They should be good then. Got ta have them ready for Smoke on the Mattaponi.

Luck ah the draw I reckon…………

The old Army 1911's were loose and they would shoot all day long. They were made that way to fit loose.
-
Back in the WASA days I watched an ole boy from Maryland tryin’ shoot Black Powder (always capitalize Black Powder) out an ’11. Never made it thru five without a hang up. He finished the shoot with revolvers.
My Glocks are tighter’n a drum. Rarely hang. Thinkin’ them old ‘11s were just Colts.
-
I have an old Agentine 45 acp gun I might load some black in for kicks to see if it will function.
The gun is sloppy but fires like a dream and unlike some have found with them - mine feeds everything you put in it - SWC, truncated, hollow points - anything.
No harm no foul MM - You said the right word - No working SAILOR who has busted his/her but on the Sea would have issue with the naming the ship after a fallen comrade. As you well know from your time in - not everyone in the chain of command actually falls under "working sailor".
My family is joint - 2 squids (Navy), 2 jarheads (USMC - one now in Nat Guard), and 2 Coasties (USCG), my Dad's only complaint - is no one entered the Air Force - he would have liked a reason to vacation in Colorado Springs, CO!!
I broke out my C&B 1851 last night - Watching flatboat shoot his C&B's has gotten back to wanting to give it a shot at a match again. Ordered some treso nipples and other supplies - if it comes in before June shoot may shoot one C&B and one cartridge gun for fun!

Better mileage out a .36. Less powder. Less lead.

Must say after seein' up close P-Town's chamber fire today :o it can give one pause.
Heeck No. Need to work the wife into the idea slowlyl though.
Now let's see 36 .... less powder and less lead 44 .... more powder and more lead
Which way should I go......... Like anyone needs to guess!!!
Gotta be a 44 ;D

The shooter, who will remain unidentified by me, took that l’il boo-boo well. Proud ta know the man.
I’d have ta think back ta remember a shoot with as many laffs as that one. Stages were well done, I thought. A touch warm but there ain’t no controlin’ that. The time of year has come to freeze the water supply the night before.
Nice turn out at Nick’s. Good pards ta be with. Been way too long since some of us saw one ‘nother. Met a pard I’ve been wantin’ ta see eye ta eye for four years. Best I know ever one made it home in one piece.

I have been known to use the bathtub for cleaning at hotels for 2-3 day matches.
Just do it after taking a shower - Balistol makes for a very slick bottom of bath tub later!!
Believe me - I know - it is slick and no fun!!
I do wonder when the clean-up crew comes in whether they smell the bathroom and wonder what the heck was that guy doing in his room!! :D :o
Can't wait to shoot with my fellow posse members again. But next two weeks my dance card is full!
Upperville Colt and Pony Show 7-8 June. Dad's family reunion/father's day bbq 14-15 June.

OOPS! Sorry I mentioned it ;D ;D ;D. Ya gotta be careful when washing dem bore snakes!

FYI, some people recommend you don't use the dishwasher for cleaning yer guns since there is a possibility that some lead residue could remain in the dishwasher and could get onto your dishes & eatin' utensils.

Silly Cowboy you don't put paper plates in a dishwasher.

A pard in Lousiana - had one of them small rv style dishwashers that is on casters - he hooked it up with dnik sink in house when using it.
the only thing that went in it were his guns and the only place he was allowed to hook it up was deep sink.
he swore by using it with his blued and stainless BP guns.
The shoot is fredericksburg looks like a go.

Actually had to ban kiddos from basement 3 weeks ago. One of their friends while they were all down there decided to make a play house on the reloading side of the laundry room. Actaully taking a few shotgun shells to hold down a piece of fabric
They all know that side is off limits.
I recently reopened the basement but warned them that if any of them do it again - the child that does it will not be allowed in the basement.
Hope I don't have to do that.
Still looking to shoot - the weekend of 21-22nd June. I think shooting at Pepper Mill is going to be my shoot that weekend

I was droppin' off the broke sxs with LCR today. He tells me ya might not be able to make MD Free State. :'( What's up?

Family booked a beach week that starts that day. I told LCR if he can make it I will give him my slot.
My wife swore she did not see the note on her calendar, but as it turns out - it is only week that works for my work.
I was also going to shoot TVD, but didn't sign in early enough, then when I did get a last mintue slot opened to me - my wife's mom has to go in for sugery and I need to stay home and watch kids. Nothing serious - just wife needs to help mom and will take our baby - but I got the 4 and 9 yr old.
Work has been nuts, been leaving house by 455 am and not getting home until 7pm - but my next promotion board is late July - so hopefully it all pays off. I am now the senior guy in my section but hopefully by end of summer we will have new GS-15 supervisor and I can get back onto a more normal shooting sked
I have been reloading alot and picked up a 62 36 cal pocket police to go with my 51 navy C&B. I am thinking about shooting one C&B and one cartridge gun for awhile as I get used to the C&B's and then work to shooting two. I am awaiting my TRESO nipples for the C&B pistolas.
Planning to do some shotshells today and maybe another hundred or so 38 spl rounds. I'll be back up to about 200 brass hulls, 600 44russian shells and 1600 38 spl shells waiting to throw lead, brimstone and smoke down range!!
I have a lady that thinks she can do the sash thing and does some very nice work. In next couple weeks, I'll order a sash and get project moving.
BTW Frio told me yesterday that EMF has priced down the 44 remmies - them are the guns that scream WILL!!!!!!!!!

LCR sorry to hear that with work - hope you have been able to catch more stuff with your specialized gunsmithing abilities! Since I can not shoot the Free State match - my offer to give you my spot still stands.
SB - I thought about visiting ya'll at Pepper Mill yesterday but figured 8 month old is still a little young for the gun noise.
I stayed up here with kids, while wife went down to williamsburg to help Mother Inlaw - just easier that way.
I am geo-bachelor this week - since wife is now taking baby and going back down to help her mom with her sister this week and the kids are at the summer camps during the day and spend the nights out at my parents farm.
My parents place is about 45 minutes from Damascus - so I spend thurs and fri night out there - and may crash there saturday night - due to the "I love you Man" dinner after match on saturday.

I got some stuff at the gunshop, but only one big job, mostly small jobs, and I can't afford to drive over there everyday.
I do got a business section over at a forum for those Saiga shotguns like I got, and I'm hoping to generate some conversion work there soon. I got a custom part I designed for that gun that I'm getting off the ground, got a waiting list now. Also, the biggest name in conversions is quitting customer conversions, which will make a nice spot to step into. He has a three year backlog, so even if I can only get half of what he's turning down, I can make a living just doing that.
Time will tell.
-
which one?

Which one? Meaning which forum, which part?
Not sure what you mean.

Who is getting out of customer conversions? R&D - I saw they were making some conversions for sale at about 1,000.00 a copy and wondered if they were going to continue to do customer special orders - once they start doing that.
I saw the Star conversions in a shooting mag and was drawn to them - need another st of pistolas like a hole in the head - but when you have it bad you have it bad!!
I will chat with you tonight if we can.
I think we are going to be down in williamsburg the weekend after 4th July - maybe shoot Pungo and come say hie to you and Richard at the store. Will he be open on the 5th of July?

I plan to shoot Fredericksburg ( have to work that out with wife since she is coming home either on a friday or monday) and then Pungo - then it is family vacation time until the end of August.
I got the black powder 11mm french rounds in from GAD custom ammunition - so I am taking Arcey up on offer to shoot them fine guns for a match for fun in Pungo/Wakefield.
They will be fun wild bunch match guns. I may see if they will do a WB category at next Louisiana "The Hanging" and then shoot the guns in a full match. They are not fast and they are a bit ugly - but them guns are very fun.
I may need ya'lls read on amount of smoke though - after talking to the owner of GAD ammunition he said that he loaded roughly .8 to 1cc of schuetzen FFFG.
LCR - you want to shoot the Free State shoot in August? It is the 17th and I can not go - let me know and I will tell Chuckaroo.

Been within fifteen miles of a beach all my life. Can remember when droppin’ kids off in Ocean View ‘n pickin’ ‘em up later was safe ‘n acceptable. Me, the older I got the less the attraction.
While Mary was alive ‘n active, we had access to a few hundred yards of private beach at the north end. No noise, no tourists, no trash – animate or inanimate. No twenty dollar parkin’ fees. Go shower up at Mary’s condo. Launder the girls ‘n walk next door to the Lynnhaven Fish House for dinner out over the water. By the time we got home the girls were zonked ‘n the wife ‘n me could make all the noise we wanted. Made for a real nice day.
Break over. Get back ta loadin’ smokey thingys so I kin go shootin’. Need ta wipe off the guns too. They been waitin’ since the first Saturday.

After shooting it a couple of seasons, I am now convinced it's from the smoke pole mentality. I shot nmlra matches in the 70's we swabbed between shots. I knock the barrels off my OT's this morning spritz'd again, could have just wiped them down with oil and put them back together. I did pull a bore snake thru first, since I had all the stuff out. In all honesty Montana's Rugars are dirtier. If you haven't read the .45 cal in Rifles forum it puts some more light on it. But those who want to shoot Smoky less have at it. Sod Buster claims it's that they only clean once a year so that's why they stay with it. He may have a good point.

SB knows where of he speaks. Tried ta clean mine every other shoot when I shot smokeless but it didn’t always happen. The Glocks are clean ‘cuz I bet my tail on ‘em on the street.
Ain’t looked it the thread. No interest in anything .45 “Long” Colt. Kindah leave that ta the resident hot soapy water experts 'n keep my nose out their bidness.

Looks like family business is going ta keep me from going to Free State shoot. Need to help the parents and sister git to Tx so we will be driving out on Aug 13 and I will be flying back. If I am lucky I will be back on Aug 16 late which will not give me nuf time to git there. Guess I will have ta wait 'til next year.

Black Creek shoots this Saturday, 19 July. National Day of the Cowboy is 26 July, West Point will be shootin on that Saturday and I ain't ever seen a Hawaiian day at West Point. We'll be in our Cowboy Duds.

Howdy pards - I will be at either West Point on the 26th or Pepper Mill on the 27th - still needing to do some last minute schedule adjusting with wife and her family as they come back from the Kentucky/Alabama whirlwind tour. I get to go on Kentucky part but have to be back to work early am on the 22nd.
Looking forward to seeing ya'll
MM - you think people will be ok if I shoot my 1873 French pistols for no score - I will be shooting them single action but they are single/double action. Arcey gave me the ok for Wakefield (as long as they shot for no score). Should I email Bob directly? No biggee either way.

what about the "Paniolas"?
??? ??? ???

Per Wikipedia:
Hawaiian Paniolo
The Hawaiian cowboy, the paniolo, is also a direct descendant of the vaquero of California and Mexico. Experts in Hawaiian etymology believe "Paniolo" is a Hawaiianized pronunciation of español. (The Hawaiian language has no /s/ sound, and all syllables and words must end in a vowel.) Paniolo, like cowboys on the mainland of North America, learned their skills from Mexican vaqueros.
Now we have all had a little edumacation! Didn't know this meownself.... thanks LR!

Need a little help from my Va FB Posse. I picked up Anne Lee today and she is looking good. ;D But that is no surprise as LCR always does great work. :) While I was at the gun shop I saw a cousin to Anne. A Stevens Model 311E SxS 12 gauge internal hammers. Action is tight, bores are clean and the wood looks good. I am guessing the barrels are 26 or 28 in. They want $275. What I need to know is, is that a reasonable price? Sounds reasonable and it would be nice to have another backup.

Take a look here WW

Thinkin’ almost anythin' as you described is worth that in this day ‘n age.

hard to find any model that works for under that

Sounds like a reasonable price. Gor for it!
Look at this one:
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=104414597
It is in Chesapeake, VA but the wood isn't as good as on the one you describe.
-
Thanks for feedback pards. One thing I do need to look at a little closer is the firing pins. Being pretty ignorant about shotguns, what is the best way to check the firing pins; aside from shooting a couple of rounds? Is that likely to be a problem as long as they don't look obviously broken? I feel pretty confident looking over a revolver or pistol or rifle but not so much a shotgun. Seems kinda funny as I think there are probably fewer moving parts. Anyway your help here would be appreciated again.

stick a sheet of paper betwn the barrels and reciever and pull the triggers. should look snakebit when you take it out.. nice even holes or dimples

Sadly they actually had some of the best weapons entering the 1900's just could not use them well.
They had the first battle rifle made for smokeless and my WWI carbines in 8mm lebel are tack drivers.
Whether I shoot them or not I will take slide plate off the french pistols - it is impressive - the workmanship.
Interestingly enough turn of the century weapons and cowboy guns are highly popular in france.

MM - and SB - the funny thing is I started doing my wahooooooo when i was on ship as a division officer and then department head.
I was the senior watch officer and in charge of the deck force and boarding parties. Both of my CO's were very hard individuals but if you knew your stuff and showed it they left you be.
I was left be and would come up to the bridge and wahoooooooo to get people to chill out/calm down and get back to doing their jobs instead of being on pins and needles.
The chiefs thought I was a little goofy but they respected it because it worked (not to mention busting but to get people their schools and such either).

I like it.
Actually I have two Berthier Carbines - one pre - 1900 configuration and one post WW-I configuration.
They were both rebarreled after WWII to accept the hotter post WWI ammo and shooting 8mm Lebel machine gun ammo.
Interestingly the french relized in WWI that have two types of 8mm Lebel ammo was not a good idea - seems they had some troppers KIA due to shooting machine gun 8mm lebel ammo in their rifles and the rifles blowing up.
A collector would love a pre WWI style Berthier with no "N" marking - me I like to shoot too much to deal with the marking not being there.
Anyway - plan to take pics of my little 22lr MP-5 - I am salivating to shoot it.

I could baby sit it for you while your re-coup'n ;D

Don't worry LR - it will accompany me to a couple shoots - too fun not to.
I tried doing some reloading last night (stitches still in) not a good idea - the motion on my back was not good.
I am sure once stitches are out it will feel awkward for awhile and I will get over it but while they are still in - don't like the sensation of skin pulling against the stitches.

I shot my shotgun and rifle with no issue and confirmed the 38spl load that makes my 357 rfle sing just like my carbine (need a long bullet)
My GSG-5 22lr Mp-5 - wow what a sweet gun to shoot handles so smooth!!

If ya wuz plannin on shootin with the Pungo Posse in Wakefield, VA this Saturday, forget it. We had ta cancel the shoot due the the impending arrival of an unwanted guest,(Tropical Storm/Hurricane Hanna). >:( Now I would usually welcome a woman to our shoots but I wish this one had taken a hard right turn and got lost at sea. :'(

Don't think Ike will be much of a problem for us Rooster but the Folks in South Florida better watch out.

Yep MM Ike looks like another over S. florida back in Gulf of mex (GOMEX) and then who knows.
Bad thing is there is a high over GOMEX - which will only strengthen what is left of Ike once it hits s florida/cuba.
Hanna was a apin - she was studying to be a psychologist and asked why i did what I did whenever I did it.
Boy did that get old!!!
Brace for heavy rains if you need to. I am looking to shoot third weekend hopefully.

The guys are being accused of using "shortcuts," and being brand new at this intake/release division, it's the way I've been taught. It's kinda scary to have this happen when I've only worked there for 7 work days. The sgt thinks he's gonna lose his stripes over this. He's already been tolt he's going to be made the "example" for everyone else. It's a shame cause everyone in the division is doing the same thang - he jus ended up catchin the stuff rollin down the hill first.

Ain’t easy ta go thru, I know. Spent way too long in IA not ta know what folks go thru. Seen all kinds of stuff. Try ta stay calm.

Trina, you'll be fine. What you are talking about goes on everywhere. In today's throw-away society most folks want to know the fastest way to get something done, whether it's right or not. When the poop hits the oscillating rotator their first response is, that's the way we have always done it. When I did the records conversion for our RMS/JMS system I found so many booking errors that they stopped talking to me. Didn't matter to me I was dealing higher up the chain and just asked what do you want to do with these. I've checked records since when there is a problem and the same people are making the same mistakes and taking the same shortcuts as they used to. It'll catch up with them in Norfolk one of these days.
Enjoy the wine.

I may stay in DC for a fellowship/study program. But most likely will be moving south along east coast (Jobs in Tidewater, North and South Carolina and Florida) or somewhere overseas.
Too early to tell - but will know more probably by mid november/december.

Pards:
Who is going to Mason Dixon Stampede? I won't be there but someone else might be. I got the following email from Joyce Moody (AnnleLee's sister) Friday night:
Hi Tom:
Charlie just wrote me and said that he’s going to the Mason Dixon Stampede (not sure if he’s fully committed but he said so). His email address is still spyder6009@aol.com. I didn’t see either you or Raymond registered but it looks like a really big event.
J
The "Raymond" she referrs to is Same Hades who has been storing AnnieLee's & Charlie's guns until he is ready for them.
-
Thanks Pards - probably won't leave until spring and if'n I go to tidewater - VA or NC most of ya'll will probably see me more than you do now.
I may actually be able to go to VA State Match now - lets just say it pays to have an Admiral who used to play cowboy and got me into this fine sport.
I didn't ask for a break - only answered him that due to a certain meeting I would not get to go to Va State match. It now looks like I get out of that meeting by noon on friday - so while I definitely will miss side match day - I can shoot sat/sun with a full night of sleep before hand!!
I'll keep you posted.

I have to tell you pards and pardettes - that GSG-5 22lr rifle I picked up a couple months ago now is the most fun I have had shooting smokeless powder since I moved to BP.
Don't get me wrong - I prefer the fire, smoke, roaor and stench of BP. But bar none, the GSG-5, is the best out of the box, no smithing req'd purchase I have made gun wise in the last 5 years.
When the same company anounced they were making a correct Ak-47 clone in 22lr - I was not that interested but the plinking fun I have had with my GSG-5 - that I can do at my parents farm - is leading me to be more interested in that Ak-47 22lr every day.
Now if'n I can get to a cowboy shoot and pour forth the blessings of the one true powder - I might just hit nirvana!!:) I do need to feel that concussion, smell that stench and see the fire and smoke. Who will be at Wakefield in two weeks?

LR,
They are moving all of the Audio, Video & Motion Picture archives from all of their storage facilities to this one location built into the side of a mountain. This includes all of the old nitrate films they have stored at/near Wright-Patterson Airbase in Ohio. The NAVCC (National Audio-Visual Conservation Center) was orignally an old Treasury Dept storage building where the Fed used to keep some cash in case of a national disaster.
You can read more about the NAVCC at:

Nope, the mountain (more like a big hill) is just outside of Culpeper, VA. It is called Mount Pony. It already was US Government property. This project was heavly funded by David Packard - of Hewlett-Packard.

A Rifle Baby shower - I like it - I might be able to load the 100 or so I found before this weekend - nothing like trial by competition!!

TenZZZZ - im coming on brass and bullitsss - again no sweat if not ready this weekend.
I'll see if I can find some of the little blue things from son's baby shower and make sure the rilfe is dressed proper for it's "shower"!!:)

Oh yea, I checked with Flatboat Bob and there will NOT be a shoot at West Point on the 4th Saturday in November or December.

Found my old 45lc dies and around 120 pieces of brass are primed and ready to go with one round loaded and double checked for oal - good to go!
I am using 2f of app - since the bullets I have are not BP friendly lubed.
2.2 cc of powder filled up the brass with a barely audible crunch when seating the 250 grain bullet on top.
Will see how she shoots next sunday.

120 rounds are now loaded and ready to rock and roll.
I will bring my 38 rifle & ammo with me just in case - but if'n my loads and rifle work right - I will stay 44 or above all day.
Will - not sure I stuffed as much as you do - but I am thinking my 2.2 cc's of APP will sound pretty good, will smoke well and hit the targets hard.
It will be good to see ya'll again on sunday.

Those of you who shot with my posse yesterday probably saw me fidgitting with my stevens riverside shotgun yesterday. I took it apart last night and the sear and the left hammer was toast, the right side is wearing very thin too - only matter of time. I will keep it/get it fixed at some point and shoot BP skeet at parents farm but will not put it through competition paces again.
Will, next time you clean your gun - open up them internals - my gun was checked out a year ago but obviously the older metal was put through more paces than use to nd was giving out.
If anyone has seen one or wants to get rid of one - I am in the market for a Modern made hammered double. I would prefer a TTN hammered double but am open to others.
I did learn that a double blast of my BP loads will take down and flip over shotgun targets!!:)
PR

As soon as I find out if my daughter is giving me another buckaroo or buckarette I will let ya'll know.
PR I have ta 'gree wit LR on this one. If ya kin see the targets and folks aint a coughin and fussin 'bout the Smoke and Stink, it jus aint as much fun. ;D ;D ;D Wit that said, it still would have been better than a good day of chores or work. ;D :o ;D
-
LR was right it was so windy that on a few stages II was wondering if I was shooting smokeless by some wacko accident!!:)
Course I wasn't!!
Not as fun for sure - but better than a day not shooting.
PR
-
;D Flatboat Bob did tell me I needed mo powder in my shot shells ;D, the wind blew it up along the new wall right in his face
-
Oh and no more cheaper than elmers white glue for me.
I had 4 shotgun shells lose their internals - luckily before I hit the line.
My 66 is fixed - the screw on the left side of the frame worked a little loose during the match and as I reloaded for the 5th stage would not work. I discussed with Sam Hades and a few others - tightened up screw and - tada - the gun works flawlessly.
I had very little blowback - like some experience. I had a pretty good crimp on the 45lc rounds - may back off just a tad - but wonder if those experiencing significant blowback with their 45lc just are not crimping enough.
Shot dirty with no misses yet again - wahoooooooooooooo!!
Hoping to shoot wakefield in a few weeks.

you and Potter both had some blow back issues. I put a heavy crimp on 'm .45-.44rus and the .38's my .44-40 I put a slight crimp

Yur goin out of the house on Black Friday? Are you crazy? I make it a rule to never go to a store on black friday ot that whole weekend. I would probably end up shootin some stupid idiot before I got through the parking lot. I work in a jail, I don't want to be a resident.
I picked up 4 bricks of Federal Shotgun 209 pimers on Friday for $29.95 a brick. Sorry Sleep, it was too good a deal to pass up.

That's a great deal MM... mine should be here soon an' I'll let ya know what they cost me.

primers were still high here last show.
I need another brick of 209's and large pistol primers. I am stocked on small.
Will lets seewho else needs BP. I can pick it up from the Sutler who supplies the NSSA crowd in winchester as long as we buy i think a lot of 25 pounds - we can mix and match. that way we get no hazmat and shipping fees.
I got some last time Sodbuster and Little Rooster all needed powder - we got schuetzen - german bp and it was great price.

Yup. Them squirrels at 100yds know now they ain't safe at that distance.

I think he said he had longer barrels on his.. help some of the recoil also

Speaking of recoil - i loade up some 200 grain 45lc bullits for my 66 and due to smaller bullits i went to the 2.5cc of 2f vice the 2.2cc for the 250 grain bullits.
Wonder if I'll notice the difference
Just want to go boom, boom, boom.... wahoooooooooooooooooo

Really ain’t that much difference ‘ twix Miz Taylor @ 7 ½ ‘n Shorty @ 3 ½ recoil wise. Shorty is a lot louder. The Buntlines ain’t got no recoil ‘n don’t make much noise with Heap Bad Medicines in ‘em.

Told Cat the other day that I figured out another gun I want.....a Bluntline......Figue it should be good fer long range pistol side matches and jus a heap of fun ta fool with. Now I jus got ta find one. Arcey, what's the barrel length on yorn?

Arcey, it would be my pleasure ta meet up wit ya in Hampton. Not sure it is much different than the Va Beach one but l like ta the smell of gun oil and such. I usually try to git there around 9:30 - 10:00. Let me know ifn that works fur ya.

Werks fer me. Be hangin’ ‘round the entrance.

So what ya'll find?
I missed the big gun show here last week due to daddy duties.
I did get to do a bunch or reloading. I cleaned up my stevens real nice - the other hammer and sear started slipping too. I may turn her into a wall hanger - I will still look at fixing her but probably not going to be cheap.
I think I will get a new one and when I have anough monies see if I can get an upper with longer barrels fitted to it.
I love the old doubles and just wish one of the cowboy ones would come with a long barrel option 24-28 inches.
Looking forward to Wakefield in a couple weeks.

MM:
Ya may want to post a CORRECTION on the SASS Wire regarding this. Mad Monte McCray posted the following Wednesday morning (the emphasis is mine):
That is right this is our 3rd year doing this. This year the match is on Dec 6th. The match fee for this match is one new toy to donate for Toys-for-Tots. We would love it if more than one were donated by each shooter. This year we are also having some Marines come out to participate also. I have a goal of 100 toys. I know it asking a lot with the economy right now, but I believe that it will be done. Because we always "COWBOY UP".

Gotta shorten the stock a little, but it shoots good. Didn't get to shoot at any knockdowns or targets, but it's pretty smooooooth!

Knowing my luck, Yak got all the misses out, but I probably put more back in.

I know it is still a little early, but who is planning on going to Raid on Andersonville. I am planning on going and using my camping setup.

I might need to see ifn I kin borrow some washing facilities.
Looking forward to seeing everyone one agin at Wakefield next weekend.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Due to the shortage of time off, I don't think we're going to Raid this year. Wanda and Louie are having the same problem so I'm pretty sure we're not going. It's a long drive and if the weather last year is indicative of what to expect...... YIKES! If MM could get more time, we'd go, but since Dad died, we're probably going to have to plan trips to NY now to see my Mom. I don't see her driving down here much anymore, especially by herself. We were thinking of going to get her and bringing her down for a spell too.
-
Too bad but I do understand. Family situations kept me from any annual shoots this year. Family is certainly far more important than shootin. 'Bout the only silver lining to my parents passing away is that I will have a lot more freedom to get to matches as finances and time off from work permits. I am going to try to get there this year and hope for the best on the weather.
See ya at Wakefield next Sat?

Looked at the Weather forecast for Wakefield, rain should stop in the mornin and they ain't callin fer no more through Saturday. Hopefully the catfish pond will be dry by then.
PR - Got the Shotgun and some boolits fer ya.
Been messin around this mornin, leaded up some Heap Bad Medicine. I loaded up some 45-70 with them little 500gr boolits over a 4.3 dipper(about 64gr) of Goex 2f. Think it will make a dent when it hits? Should be plenty of BOOM, SMOKE, FIRE, and STINK! What do ya think? Wonder what the accurate range will be comin from my 28" Highwall. Don't have any ideal how they will do but they sure look impressive.

Whut chew got a mind ah doin’ with that thing, MM? Still ain’t shot that 45-70 thingy ah mine since the werk was done on it.
-
WW, That's one beautiful child. Congratulations!

Purty proud of the youngin and the granyougin.
MM maybe we should all bring out the 45-70 and see how much Smoke we can really make! ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

Shot mine last weekend so did a few others...Heap big fun...got a e-mule from Larry my Williams peep sight came in, waitin' for the e-mule saying it's been shipped....them tree rats better move outta the neighborhood now.
MM what kind of 500 grain boooolit you using
-
MM - thanks - been looking at the weather - looks good long term right now.
Looking forward to give that BH II a good once over - my stevens I think will be mostly to look at with exception of maybe some light black powder skeet.
MM, I think that 45-70 load should be good - it is similar to my powder load for my 370 grain 43 spanish loads. I once shot it at 50 yds and it left a dimple in the target. I was glad I had gotten permission to test the load on the target - my spotter told me he has to smooth out the metal targets after a serious long range shoot - due to the power in the old loads. He hadn't smoothed it out yest so no sweat.
Wish I had video or photos from our family pumpkin shoot - at the end I brought out my old british 303 and french 8mm lebel. The pumpkins exploded when the soft point ammo slammed into them. I have dialed in the french lebel enough that the gun will get it's chance at deer hunting on the 8-9th of Dec.
Looking forward to seeing and shooting with ya'll.

I'mm gooonnna shooot at Wakefield...YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Picked up a couple of bricks of Federal large pistol primers at Bob's last week for $30 each. Thought it was a good price for these days.
Just picked up a brick of Winchester WLP for $25.50 and a brick of Federal 150 for $27.95 at the Gun Show at the Showplace in Mechanicsville today. Stopped by Bob's but didn't ask them the current price. GreenTop was about $27.99 for both.
Get this.....Bass Pro is selling Winchester WLP for $54.95/brick! :o Other primers were also extremly high. I didn't see any Federals 150 or 155 there. Powder was reasonable...only the primers were out of sight. Sheesh!!!

Heck Arcey I don't cast....but I still love to roll my own... caint blame no manufacturer if they go pfffft...... Just used up some moly lubes over some APP...the bullets I bought 2 years ago. They's .44 cal. ....My Henrys has seen less than 100 rounds Heathen my 72's has seen a bit more but only to empty the cases. Had enough of these to load for three boxes. I'll use em up and go back to the Big Lubes over the darker powder. Ii use to cast for my smoke poles sold that gear (still have the guns) I don't know if I'll go back to it, I seem to go overboard when it comes to buying equipment and to do these things. Hadn't got the Cave finished yet and am scratching My head trying to figger out where everything will go.

Put the front locking lug in the forward slot and close it. You might need to hold the release lever open, that one has a pretty strong spring.

Tks MM, I will try that when I get home from work today. I tried and tried to get that sucker to close to no avail yesterday afternoon and got pretty frustrated - watch it just nicely fit together when I get home with a little more pressure on the lever.
Last day of work for me until the 30th - wahoooooooooooooooo.
Hope the shoot and party went well. It was a nice day in Manassas until the later afternoon - when the wind kicked up and it got downright cold.
I took guns down and cleaned 4 shotguns, 2 rifles and my pistols. Glad I started early in afternoon - by the time I got to the pistols the weather had turned blustery. Have around 200 more 38 spl cases to deprime and then I will prime at least 500 of the 1,000 or so for reloading and then move to the 45lc and 44russian.
I was having fits with my primers being a little high in my brass cases but redid my primer seater (you know things were built better way back when there is almost 2 inches worth of extra metal to adjust the primer seater) just a tad in my 1940's vintage shotgun reloader and wallah - nicely flush primers. Can you hear My Martini single shot getting happy in the safe??? I sure can!!:)

Hey PR, That's the Black Creek/West Point weekend. Ya gona shoot?
-
MM - I am in negotiations with Wife on that.
Jan is our anniversary month and I had promised to spend the weekends with her.
However, we have a four day weekend due to MLK b-day and Inauguration.
So me shooting just one day during that 4 day period should not be an issue.
Probably West Point.
It will be nice to smoke it up with ya'll again!!:)
-
PR if ya kin make it to West Point on the 18th we can meet up there. I forgot I have that following Monday off. Make some smoke and noise.

Then, I had ta deal with ‘er sister. She’s gotten big. But damned if there ain’t a third sister waitin’.
Gottah hide from ‘em. Last time I bought ennythin', Pleazin’ grabbed the closest heavy object she could find ‘n chased me all o’er the property while she was swingin’ fer the head.

Well, last year we camped just below the range at that campground and we musta had the best time ever! One night we cooked 21 steaks and potatoes and salad fer supper and had a blast! Of course we lost 3 potatoes somehow and Longhorn Louie found 'em in his microwave a month later - :o Havin all our pards come hang out 'round the campfire was a hoot! Lots of stories and BS thrown about, but it was great!!
-
TT - can you get me the phone number to call for that place.
I am going to see what LCR might be able to swing in doing the match and potentially renting an RV from one of the Mil bases for the match - otherwise I might just do the bunkhouse at campground.
LR - you going to shoot ROUND-UP?
WW, SB - ya'll going to make mighty smoke??

Badwater Bill has dibs on that bunkhouse every year is my understanding. MM will get ya the number. They have no sewer hook ups, but have a dump station at the entrance/exit. The shower facilities are behind the bunkhouse. Last year they ran out of hot water a whole lot and we ended up just using the shower in the camper. I gave up cold showers when I retired from the Navy............... :o
MM usually brings the blue tank to get rid of grey and black water. Betwixt him and Longhorn Louie, I'm sure they can hep ya out wid dat.

As nice as bein with ma BP pards sounds tha outdoor campin life aint no friend to this ole body! I reckon I'll put up stakes at tha old digs Hotel we used to have tha banquet at, n the old days.

On top of that I will not be able to attend ROUND-UP. Seems my daughter's brownie and girl scout troops have their daddy/daughter dances sked for the same weekend. A daddy has to do what a daddy has to do.
If the dances were friday - I would still come down for saturday/sunday but they are saturday.

As fur Round UP already got my confirmation from Dig'em. Plan on makin' big smoke and boom. I will be hangin' at the campground with the tent what mounts to the truck bed. That of course assumes that MM gits me a number to call to make a reservation fur a camping space. ::)

Yep, we famous! Not a bad article for a guy that don't know anything about guns. Arcey had ta give him a little guidance but it still came out pretty good. ;D

Asked ‘im not ta suggest we were drinkin’ in the parkin’ lot. Tolt ‘im that was prohibited.
Feelin’ ‘nother talk with the ASC comin’ on.
-
….’n I was munchin’ black eyed peas left o’er from the New Year’s supper.
-
Way I read the article Arcey there was nothing to imply that anyone was doing any drinking until they were at another place away from the range.
-
Just rather ‘e hadn’t mentioned it at all…….
My response when he sent me the draft
"Instead of drinking beer and talking about football we're shooting and drinking Cokes."
At least while they're shooting, they say. After the smoke clears and the targets are put away those prop whiskey bottles may be replaced by the real thing. (Jim, the last sentence seems to suggest, to me, people are drinking in the parking lot. If you saw someone with whiskey or beer at our place I wish I had known. No consumption of alcohol is allowed at the range at any time.)
Oh well……………
-
Nice story, video and pictures.
I can see the concern at the end.
But a pretty positive story!!
Nice cameos by Arcey and MM with the voice over by TT. WW - you were in rare form at start of video.
You sure you can't put just a little more powder in them thar shells??!!:)

Heard from the reporter. Said he’d changed things but his editor changed ‘em back.

Friday to took off from work because I had a Dr. appt which I thought would take most of the morning. It DIDN"T and I was home by 9:30. Spent part of the day at the loading bench getting some 12g loaded and about 100 rounds of 45LC. **found I could get a little more powder in that case. He He He He :o**
Saturday we had a GREAT day for cowboy shootin'. Upper 60's and sunshine. Made big smoke, boom, fire and stink.
Today with the thermometer reading almost 70, I just could not resist going to the shed out back and making many tiny shiny 250 gn 45 cal boolets.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAA
It is about four weeks until I will head south to make great smoke with my ole pards from SC. Looking forward to that.
It is aobut eight weeks until I head west to make great smoke with my ole pards from Va at Round UP.

Sod Buster,
Nothin' wrong with a .45-70 trapdoor for some distance shooting. I shoot a .50-70 trapoor off and on. I just loaded up some shells for it last night. I'd be glad to help you with the .45-70 if your in the neighborhood. I don't currently have a .45-70, but I have dies, brass and moulds for 'em. My first BPCR was an 1884 model trapdoor I bought around 1981. Its long gone, but many other BPCRs have followed over the years ;D
-
It's not a BPCR but I wanted it so bad, I just knew with the way $$$ is tight in my home right now I'd be hung. :-[
at the show I found a Shiloh Sharps "New York built" 1863 Sharps Carbine .54 caliber percussion, $1800.00 :o
It took everything in me to walk away. :'(

Was that the Shiloh carbine at the Fredericksburg show? The price tag I saw on it was $1375, now THAT was a good price. New ones are about $1800. But I already have a Pedersoli Sharps 1859 3 band infantry rifle and an 1874 Shiloh, so I was able to walk away...but it wasn't easy ;)

SB - i had almost forgot to update my pards and pardettes.
The local drugs finally wore off this evening - they always make me woozy.
not being able to move my neck and head is tough but not bad.
I will be home most likely for a week and then see about work but dr's want me to take it light and then be pretty guarded about upper body stuff for 4 more weeks after that.
the cool thing is that i should be good to go then about a week before my 40th b-day which will make for a nice b-day to be able to move around normal and shoot again.
Oh - wear sunblock, keep your sleeves down and watch your neck and shoulders!!!

VA F&BP we need to cowboy up and git ta loadin' some mighty loads. ;D ;D ;D

Well said brother Will!!
My shotgun hulls last match had weak seals and caused my shotgun ammo to appear weak.
No more buying cheap imitations of elmers for me!!
I also upped my powder charge and lead in the shells and now am switching over to all BP shot shells.
Have to shoot up some sub shells and checking for weak seals - by end of summer will be running holy black in everything but my 45lc 66.
Once I am through my more modern 45lc bullets that will change too but right now using APP due to modern lubed 45lc bullets.

PR I spent 'bout 4 yrs in the Aiken area and came to LOVE the Carolina BBQ. I will be lookin' fur some.
Had a bit of a scare today. My oldest daughter (26) called me from Norfolk General. She had gotten a finger on her right hand infected and the antibiotics were not working. The decided on surgery and made two small cuts around the first knuckle to suck out the bad stuff. She is doing better and I am teaching her some of my trigger finger exercises to make sure it does not stiffin up. The scare was that when she called I thought she said she had an infection in her Head and they were going to take her in for surgery. Boy was I relieved to get the the hospital this morning to find out it was her hand. I stayed with her until she came out of the surgery and we decided it was alright for me to continue with the trip.
Most happy she is fine, but also happy to still be able to make the trip. Weather however, is looking a bit cool and damp. 50% chance of rain and temps in the upper 40's lower 50's.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I bought my Uberti .50-95 1876 Winchester directly from Taylor's in November. I drove up there and browsed the inventory to pick out the one I wanted. The way it worked then was they drove me and the rifle over to a local gunshop who handled the transaction. Maybe its different now. Either way, they are great folks to deal with and everything went smoothly.

NDNCHF - supposedly now you can do it all right there!!
Something to remember when i finally get my 1876.

PR, you will love your 1876, I had the pleasure of going with NDNCHF to pick up his and his grin was something to see! ;D The hassle of getting set up for .50-95 was a little more daunting but that is behind him and he scaring folks off the line with that big cannon, I just hope I get a chance to shoot it soon!

LR,
I have indeed, I got caught up with the N-SSA and spent most of last year shooting clay pots! :o That said for a couple reasons I need to back away from that sport for a while which will free me up to come out and shoot some steel! ;D
I plan on shooting at least half a match at KC's Corral this month (I need to be back up here in Stafford by 5pm that day :( ) and the next match I can make after that is Pungo on May 2nd. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to squeeze in 10 or 11 matches by the end of the year!
The bad news is I won't be shooting holy black at Black Creek this month but by the time I am back on my feet and shooting in May I should be shooting all black powder, all the time! ;D
I don't know if he'll be with me at KC's but my son, "Hawkeye Wyatt", will be coming out to learn the sport throughout the year. I have a set of shooting irons for him but I don't know when he'll be ready for "prime time."
I look forward to seeing everyone again real soon!

Sutler's Row and the money I have spent there is another reason I haven't been shooting steel with you guys! :-[

I had fun watchin' Myles spend HIS money on Sutler Row ;D Of course, this was after I had spent a pretty penny too. It is the best place to go for antique gun parts, bits 'n pieces. Hmmmm come to think of it, we made need to go up for one day of the spring nations. I need a few bits 'n pieces for my new trapdoor project....
PR - if you are thinking about an 1876, you can't go wrong with a Taylors version. I shoot mine at NVGC pretty regular. Your welcome to take a few shots with it, if'n your around. Its nuthin' fancy, just a basic '76 shootin' a puny little .50-95 round. But it does attract attention and is a blast to shoot ;D

Got the spring dates marked in my calendar

Thanks NDNCHF - i hope to take you up on your kind offer.
I scare people when i let loose my 43 spanish roller and one of my good friends really scares off people when he touches off his 50 caliber berdan.
They are a hoot to shoot
had pleasure of meeting up and doing window shopping with LR other day - overheard a soon to be new cowboy shooter talking about getting his six guns ready to go.
Myles - hey I still have your smokey badge i think or did Ifinally get that to you?
Be great to shoot with everyone again
I even should have my 38spl conversions ready to shoot again real soon - went out of timing after 4 years of shooting.

I am looking forward to shooting with all of you soon.

Raid on Andersonville update. They are considering renaming it to Rain on Andersonville. ;D ;D ;D
We had a light dizzle Saturday and we were able to shoot the six stages scheduled. However, only about half the people showed up. We were down to 8 people on our posse so we ended up combining with a posse with 5 people. The stages were interesting although the Texas Star for the pistols kicked my butt as always (left one on).
I did get told that it was fun to watch me shoot with all the fire coming out of the pistol barrels. 8) Also got to talk to a couple of darksiders. I got talking to a SC cowboy who had a different mixture for cleaning guns. I cannot remember the name of the soap but it was mixed with water and alcohol and he said it worked like a charm.
Must say a rain and Balistol make for slippery guns. But they do clean up easy at the end of the day.
All in all it shot really crappy but made copious amounts of smoke, fire, BOOOOM and stink.
Today I decided a real rain would not be fun to shoot in so decided to head back home, which is why I am home early.
Must say I am looking forward to shootin with the VA F and B posse again.

It time to clear out a few guns I don’t use much anymore. I’m offering ‘em here to my fellow Virginians first. Make’s transactions a lot simpler and you can come lay your eyeballs on ‘em before you buy. Here’s what I have:
Uberti Henry - .44-40, 24’ barrel, civilian model. Antique patina finish. Wood was stripped and an oil finish applied. Most bluing removed from barrel, lever etc., steel is now a gray/brown patina. Brass never polished. Looks very much like a well cared for original. Action job by Cody Conagher at the Cowboy Shop. Execellent bore, only shot with holy black since I've had it. $700
Norinco 99 Shotgun - 12 gauge double, 20” barrels with rabbit ears. Chambers polished, otherwise stock. Plain Jane shotgun, nuthin’ special. Excellent shape works fine. Only fired with holy black. Comes with 97 all brass shells (63 of which are loaded with 60gr Goex FFG and 1oz of 7.5 shot) and a box of the necessary circle fly wads to reload them. $250.
Uberti Colt 1851 Navy R-M Conversion - .38 colt/.38S&W, charcoal blue (really beautiful), 7.5” barrel. Good timing, locks up nicely, shoots great. Very good + condition, a little holster wear on bluing and a few dings on the grip. Comes with original box and instructions, authentic Bachman right side slim jim holster, 115 loaded .38 Colt rounds (loaded with 15 gr of Goex FFFG and .38 Snakebite bullets). Only fired with holy black. $425. Additional .38 Colt brass available separately.
I'm in Fredericksburg. If your interested, shoot me an e-mail at splitdorf(at sysmbol)cox.net.

I saw all the post on the BRR thread on the Events forum about the Smoke on the Border NC State BP shoot. There was some talk about a Va F&B contingency going down thar ta play. I have looked and it is about a 4 hour drive from Suffolk. I am trying to find out what that have available on the range for camping. I know it is dry camping but I was hoping they might have a club house with a hose for cleaning up a bit. If not I still may camp out on the range. Only a day, and I think I and my posse mates should be able to survive. After all with the smoke and stink of the match should autta cover any other personal aromas. :o ::)

In addition to the guns listed earlier for sale, I also have a model 1859 Pedersoli Sharps 3 band Infantry rifle, .54 cal. I bought it used a while back. Have shot it a few times, works well and is in excellent condition. Its an older one made in the mid 1990s I believe, but in very nice shape. Hasn’t had much use. Very accurate with 55gr Goex FFG and a 475gr Sharps ringtail bullet. $600

The message went out to the Va F & B posse to meet up in Raphine and put some Smoke, Fire, BOOOOOM and Stink in the air if it takes all weekend.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sent out the registration for Free State yesterday, Star City goes out today. I will be passing on the Thunder in the Brush but will be planning on Smoke on the Manaponni (sp).

Star City may be a possibility for me this year since they moved it to Labor Day weekend.
Smoke on the Mataponi...definately!
-
tolt MM or Potter I'd be to Mataponi...........even if I have to swim my horse across the river.

Hello the Posse - hopefully in a few hours we will get updates on the Lexington Smoke, fire, boom and stink!! ;D
Turns out I can't get extra time off for NC shoot but I will be able to shoot Wakefield the first saturday in May.
I can't do TIB this year due to dance recitals but I will be shooting:
MD State Match, and signing up this week for the Free State Match in August,
Bend of Trail, and want to do the second Smoke on the Mattaponi - btw when is that one?
PR

SOM is on May 30th I believe. It is the last Saturday in May if my memory serves.
Just got settled back at the house. Guns cleaned are the range, brass is tumbling, dinner et and took the monthly shower. BRR was fantastic again. Great stages, some of which may be seen agin at Wakefield. Our posse had some great Va F&B posse members. We did our best to put some Smoke, Fire, BOOOOOOOM and Stink into the air. I managed ta kill me two targets, but were out dun by a NC BP shooter who took out 5. Carolina Jack was shootin cap and ball and makin some mighty fine smoke. It was great fun shootin wit him.
The weather was great all weekend. Up near 80 on Saturday and a bit overcast but in the upper 60s today.
The only unhappy part was that Trina will unable to play this weekend. She managed to catch a cold and spent the weekend int he trailer. Hopefully she at least heard some of the BOOOOOOM we was doing. She did manage to shoot the side matchs and won about every lady's category in rifle shootin you kin git.
All in all it were a YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Will is correct it was a great time. I got to shoot thru with his Posse for the weekend, since I was a Berm Marshal along with Arcey, and MM. MM also shot thru with the same Posse so most of us that were there on VA F & B Posse got to shoot together.
The second stage Saturday, and stage Seven on Sunday, had a store front with a tin roof. There were a bunch of busted clays scattered o the surface of it till Will cut loose with that double piped boomstick a his. MM and I thought we was being shot at cause all the pieces was bouncing off the roof from tha concussion and landing on us at the loading table, Will definately shook up the house.
-
Sounds like a rip roaring Fire and Brimstone time!!:)
This ain't no stinkin library!!!
Lookin forward to shooting with pards and pardettes first saturday in May down in Wakefield!!
Thanks for hte info on Smoke on the Mattaponi - it is on me calendar!!
TT - Hot and Sour soup - you got to smoke out that thar cold:)!!
-
yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw
TT hope you get to feelin' better soon.
which one of ya won the New Caddy-lac?
-
Like WW said, Carolina Jack was with us an' he's a great pard.
What he didn't say was that "Tha Kids from NC" Cammy an' Stump was BPing with us!
Stump was kicking both daze but Cammie was RIPPIN'!!!
She was shootin' smoke like it was tha heathen powder an' her 100 y/o 97 was belchin' an' BOOMIN'!
PCK was on top o' his game too!
I think we had 7 or 8 shootin' BP on our posse!
-
Them kids is both some of the finest shooters in the sport......glad they seen the light on powder choice ;D
-
I am a wishing I could go down and shoot that thar NC BP match with Stump and Cammie.
But with working the friday before - just can't get thar in time to rest and shoot.
I will have to catch up with them later.
PR
-
I guess it were a good time fer most - like wuz said before, I spent most of my time at the trailer. I tried to kick it by sweatin it out at side matches on Friday, but it weren't meant ta be. I spent time readin and listenin to big BOOMs from tha range with Ewok - figgured it wuz WW or LIT gittin rid of the bugs on the mountain. We did have bunches of peeps come down after the shoots each day and it was nice to visit, from a repectable distance so's noone else got this CRAP! Y'all missed an OUTSTANDING meal Sunday night with Wanda, Louie, Remo, Eva, Miz Annie and 'Sleep. Ain't nothin in the world like good food, good friends and a good campfire to end the day/trip!!
I'll have ta go git the hot and sour soup tomorrow - too tired to do that tonight. I'm settling in with some chicken soup and then to the doctor tomorrow.
-
To the Fire,
Walking up the hill to the range Saturday morning, gun cart in tow, whose was the first smile'n faces I see. None other than Arcey and Tensleep, started off my weekend right just to chat with these pards for a while. Had not seen these two in quite some time, Arcey maybe even longer, was good to see ya'll. Saw a lot of old friends and missed a few too. Sorry to hear Miss Trina was sickly but, I'm in hopes that MM will have her healed soon. Sounds like she shot mighty fine on the side match day, congrats. Want to mention what a fine job the Blue Ridge Regulators did putting the 11 annual Roundup on, we were fed well, everybody shot safe and had a swell ole time. Hope to shoot with ya'll all real soon.

Time to start thinking 'bout Smoke on the Mattaponi. When MM put out the electronic telegram, it sounded like there were pards who were thinkin' 'bout it but did not know or have the ability to load BP. Of course there were immediate offers to provide for those that were thinkin' 'bout it.

Shooting there is definitely different with the tall targets but still shooting in the downward angle due to range set-up.

don't quite have the last verus right
We all came out to West Point
On the Mattaponi shoreline
To make our guns go boom
We didnt have much time
Flat Boat Bob and the others
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Missouri Marshall was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
We ended up at the grand hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know well never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

Arcey had to find another place

Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
We ended up at the grand hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But Montana said that she could dress it up
So we could make our BOOMS right there
With a few steel squares and a few old boards
We got a place to make smoke
Whatever Fire and Brimstone Posse gets out of this
I know well never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

I did not get to shoot with Missouri Marshall but did shoot with Potter County Kid on Sunday (due to lower attendance on Sunday, the three posses were combined into two).

Yep I got gall bladder problems, I see the surgeon on Wednesday, but they don't want me travelling to far from a horsepistol in case I have an attack like the one that got me last weekend. Eddie's feat is not one I would like to see repeated.
On top of everything else we got notice that our barn manager is moving to be with her family so we need to find new facilities, right now the leader is a barn in Windsor where the fella raises Spotted Saddle Horses.
-
LIT get that thar gall bladder thing fixed up so we can shoot together again.
if it is not one of us it is someone else - guess life just works out that way.
Little Rooster - I have had that hand/cell phone disease - think it will only get worse once I put on O-5.
Hope we have as nice of weather as it is this weekend.
Folks needed a lot of work so did not have chnace to try out me pocket pistolas - However I did get my conversion cylinders for my next set of conversions - going to do them up in 5-1/2 inch.

Well we got 2 openings for Smoke on the Mattaponi, LIT and P-Town Eddie won't be able to make it. :(
MM, if you still have one or two openings, I think I may have filled one today. Our of the newer shooters at the Pepper Mill Creek shoots (just started shooting last fall) is a Black Powder shooter. I told him at the match today to call you ASAP to see if you still had a slot open.
His name is Perry Fridley -aka "Shenandoah Boosh Wacker"

Gong down early friday to meet up with Lincoln County Regulator on some guns - might be even bringing another new to me shotgun to the match but not new to the world by any stretch (probably a late 20/30's side by side with hammers) and I surely don't need it but she spoke to me... :o
I got a huge chuckle out of the first part of the right up - even my wife was like what are you reading....
Even got inspired to do some reloading.

PR - I think I got the ammo covered. In addition to the folks that asked for ammo I will have about 500 rounds of 12ga, 1000 rounds of .38spl and about 150 rounds of 45lc just in case. Think ya could kidnap LCR. If we had him and Trinity with their mighty 10s we could really make some noise.

The real credit for this being a good shoot goes to the ROs Wildcat Will, Nutmegger, Flatboat Bob, Potter County Kid, Carolina Charlie, and Badwater Bill. To folks like Arcey and Salty John who sat in the hot sun all day keeping score for me and didn't even fire one shot. To all the shooters for working the posse and keeping things moving. A special thanks to Pony Racer, who, at his own expense, provided us all with Smoke on the Mattaponi name badges. That really added a touch of class to our little shoot. Thanks Pards, I really appreciate all your hard work and support.

I saw the posts on the other wire - for BPGF being used at Mason Dixon.
I found the Dies for the 45-75 online two sets are in the 40-50.00 range and then there are a couple sets that are 100.00 plus.
After my next payday, I will order the dies and 50-100 rounds from GAD.
Then In July I will order some bullets and brass (may not order brass if I order 100 rounds from GAD).
Have a great week ya'll.

.41 colt are about the same.. I thought my 45-70 goverment stuff was high, till I started shopping it out.
I found these bullets this morning
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=130995870
-
That is not bad LR.
I did find a set of 45-75 - CH4D dies on Gunbroker - used for just over 100.00
Not bad price for CH4D dies - but found the three die sets from Lyman and Lee at much much less than that brand spanking new.
I am going to do much more reading on the round before I settle on the dies and after comparing GAD prices for actual ammo with new brass - I may just go ahead and get 100 rounds of loaded BP from him and then reload the cases. For 150.00 plus shipping/taxes I can get 100 loaded BP rounds from Bernold at GAD.
A box of 20 empty ready to go shells from various sources goes from 39.00 to 58.00 for 20...

I am settling for the 45-60 version - will actually save me some money in brass since 45-70 is readily convertable and alot of smaller ammo companies make both black powder and smokeless versions of that round.
It should come in middle of this week.
I might have it by the md State shoot but probably won't have what I need to shoot it by then.
But maybe at one of the monthy matches i can give it a whirl - would love to be comfortable with how it shoots to use it at VA State!!:)

Mebbe Goosefoot’ll get ‘em right.
-
Can't get the file to transfer to Utube....still workin' on it...
Arcey I don't know what you did wrong but I think Goosefoot figgere'd it out. He's knock'n down targets with that 66 grain round ball
-
My balls weight out heavier’n that. ‘Bout 77 grains dependin’ on the wrinkles. N’er a problem with BC’s wunnerful ‘n interestin’ plate rack stages. Love the hike ta shoot dem stages too. Knocked o’er shotgun targets with ‘em.
Whut me, ‘n prolly GF, ain’t gettin’ is the blow-up-the-pistol part. Shot a many ah one ‘n just ain’t gettin’ it proper. All’s I can get ‘em ta do is go BOOM ‘n clang the targets. So I give up ‘n went ta wadcutters. They don’t make no recoil ta speak of either. Them Heap Bad Medicine cartridges is too much of a PITA ta load but they’re the best ever fer FC pistol as applied ta this silly gun game.
Opps, there goes the thread……………..
-
I've tested them wad cut'r under 4 (BP 2 kinds of sub and clays) different powders in Montana's .45's they'r not much recoil to 'm
-
BOOM baby BOOM Baby BOOM!!! ;D
My 158 38 spl 1.33cc BP loads don't recoil much either - but then again they knock every thing down when I do my part.
Now my 44 Russian loads do kick a bit but I like them ever so much.
Itching to shoot in Md State here now in 9 days - wahoooooooooooooo
I am off this thurs-fri and then off 24-29 June next week - lots of fun just around the corner!!
Wahoooooooooooooooo
-
PR, ain’t nothin’ wrong or dangerous with the loads. Sumthin’ was gonna go wrong it would have ‘long time ago. They don’t hurt for the ability ta ring a target so there’s no doubt in a spotter’s mind it’s been hit. Mine, the original Heap Bad Medicines, never fail ta take down a knock down. Hell, you’ve prolly spotted me shootin’ a few hunnert of ‘em.
The spurts who warned of danger were prolly well intentioned but they were, ‘n are, flat wrong. Goes ta show ya what ya read here should be taken with a grain of salt ‘til ya kin talk ta folks ya know eye ta eye ‘n check it out fer yerself…...
-
Aye Arcey me Fire and Brimstone Mate - I have seen the heep a bad medicine loads whompin the targets good!!
My 1876 has arrived!! Now if'n I can get her before the 2nd or 3rd i will be lucky.

It seems that Colt kept redesigning the bullet & gun: (from Wikipedia)
The .41 Long Colt cartridge was created in 1877 for Colt's double-action "Thunderer" revolver. It was a lengthened version of the earlier centerfire .41 Short Colt, which was made to duplicate the dimensions of the even earlier .41 Rimfire. The front of the bullet was about 0.406"-0.408”OD, the same as the case. The barrel was about 0.404”-0.406” groove diameter. The bullet lubrication was outside of the case. The base of the bullet was smaller in diameter at 0.386”-0.388"OD to fit inside the case. This is known as a "heel-base" or heeled bullet.
In the mid-1890’s, Colt redesigned the cartridge. They reduced the entire diameter of the bullet to 0.386"OD and lengthened the brass case in order to put both the bullet and its lubrication inside the case. The overall length of both loaded cartridges was about the same. The barrel of the revolver was reduced slightly to match the more popular 38-40 at 0.400"-0.401” groove diameter (this was probably done for manufacturing reasons, not accuracy reasons).
A .395 ball might work....
The next size up is .433.
-
What I cast is .365. Ain’t listed on the Lee site namore. Dump the things inna sammich bag ‘n squirt ‘em with Lee Liquid Alox, roll ‘em ‘round ‘n let ‘em dry. After that sticky mess dries I run ‘em thru a Lee .358 sizin’ die.
I ain’t that online en-psycho-thingy but as I unnerstan’ it the .41 Long Colt, if that’s whut he has, has a heck of a spread bore size wise. If the .395 is too small I’d be hatin’ ta size down a .433 ta a suitable size.
Oh well. Maybe a specialty vendor…….
-
If the .395 is too small I’d be hatin’ ta size down a .433 ta a suitable size.
I was thinkin' the same thing.
Oh well. Maybe a specialty vendor…….
Yup....but that prolly ain't cheap.
-
I found 2 vendors stocking a heeled bullet and one with a "lube inside" bullet. It depends also on the lenght of the case, from what info, I have gathered.
Think I'll slug the barrel this weekend

I meant the right size

spent some time at the loading bench yesterday....thought I had some 32 cal round balls here(probably do, just couldn't locate them) Got digging around and came up with some 00 buck. So I decided to experiment with them. Here's my first attempt of the HBM loads just on a smaller scale.. A couple of them seated deeper than i wanted but they all chamber up nicly. Hope to get to the range this next weekend and try them out

Congrats, PR well deserved. Hope to see you at at WP mid Aug. Suppose to be back on the 30th. Doubt I will make the Aug 1 match want to spend time with the kids. Let me tell you all if you ever get the chance to do a Humanitarian mission, do it the emotional rewards mean more than any of the medal they could ever give.
-
'Preciate the kind werds. Fer me, I just always questioned the motivation is all.
-
I remember hearing MANY sailors saying they hated the Navy and that they weren't going to re-up because of deployments, time spent at sea, general contempt for their jobs, etc.... How motivated do ya think they were, doing something they hated? Some people are jus not cut out fer the military life and shoudn't be there. Some people are, but due to different reasons, can't. But like 10zzz, he found teachin, givin the youth of America the basis for life. Mighty rewarding to see dem grow and prosper. Sad to see some waste their lives. God knows it was probably a war zone in some of those classrooms he walked into though......................
-
Here is the take of an Ol' retired Master Chief Petty Officer. Many have gone and many will go but without the support of the folks back home it don't mean squat. The Uninted States of America is not a great country because of our military. It is a great country because we support and take care of each other, each person doing what best suits them. Everyone contributing to our society as a whole. The military could not do or have the motivation to do it's job without the support of the folks back home. LEOs, Fire, and EMS personnel keep our families safe, teachers educate our kids. The factory workers produce the products that we need to survive and make life enjoyable, the farmers feed us(try getting by without that one). I believe that the group Alabama hit the nail right on the head with their song "40 Hour Week"
“There are people in this country who work hard every day
Not for fame or fortune do they strive
But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay
And it's time a few of them were recognized
Hello Detroit auto workers, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line
This is for the one who swings the hammer, driving home the nail
Or the one behind the counter, ringing up the sale
Or the one who fights the fires, the one who brings the mail
For everyone who works behind the scenes
You can see them every morning in the factories and the fields
In the city streets and the quiet country towns
Working together like spokes inside a wheel
They keep this country turning around
Hello Kansas wheat field farmer, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line
Hello West Virginia coal miner, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line
This is for the one who drives the big rig, up and down the road
Or the one out in the warehouse, bringing in the load
Or the waitress, the mechanic, the policeman on patrol
For everyone who works behind the scenes
With a spirit you can't replace with no machine
Hello America let me thank you for your time”

The common man and woman with uncommon valor - regardless of station or position in life is what makes this contry great!!! :D
The valor a teacher shows when they work with a challenged student.
The valor a nurse shows working with a patient that may or may not have a disease that could kill him/her.
The valor a Pastor shows as he/she cahallenges his/her congregation.

Hey and for those who have been folowing my what is the best glue for brass shells saga.
I have a winner.
I am now sold on the glue guns with the stick glue. I do use the better grade glue sticks but they are still very cheap.
The best part is that the glue dries much quicker than anything i have used before - in a pinch I could actually reload shells and glue gun them the night before a match and be good to go!!!
Course the glue gun cost me 10.00 - but hey it is an investment:)!!
PR
-
This whole sport is an investment........... ;)
-
Thanks for the tip, PR.
I started with Duco cement and have switched to Water Glass but that takes a couple days to harden. Both work great though.
-
I have been using the hot glue just like PR and what I like the most is being able to put the glue on at night and box them up as finished in the morning.
-
LIT I think that the drying overnight has sold me.
Plus i like that it seems to stay sort of rubbery. I think my issue with the other glues had been that they hardened completely and then in the very cold would crack and lose their seal.
SB - heave heard great things about both Duco and Water Glass - I did use for about two loadings a tube of welder's glue. That stuff was awesome as an adhesive but took alot of extra work because it was very stringy.
Feeling a bit under the weather - kids got ill thurs/fri and passed it on to me - oh the joys of fatherhood!!

I still sware by Elmers. Works good and I give it 'bout 24 hrs ta dry.

PR

Had a good day of shootin at the Md Free State BP match. The Va F&B Posse was represented by Sod Buster, Poney Racer, Potter County Kid, Lefty Spurmaker (part time member) and me. Even though the temps were in the really hot part of the thermometer, much fun was had by all. I think we let dem Yankees know that we Virginians know how to make some FIRE, SMOKE, BOOOOM AND STINK.
We did learn that Coasties have a hard time wit directions when they are on dry land. :o ::) Aint that so PR? ;D
YEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
-
I have to be honest.
I did have directional issues - thankfully i printed out the map to go with the directions and got pointed in right direction in enough time to make the match.
Beware relying soley on mapquest directions!!! Always look at the route yourself!!
But what an awesome match - much fun!!! PC and Lefty both took home plaques and everyone who satyed took home something from prize give aways.
Evidently two shooters had to quit due to heat issues - please drink water and have snacks to replenish electro-lytes when it is hotter than blazes. And when you start feeling bad say something - in this case both shooters did and Host club was ready to provide for their needs.
If'n you are in the area - Thurmont is a great location and the local club puts on a great match.
I'll keep this date as a place holder for next year.
Wahoooooooooooooooooo
Yehawwwwwwwwwwww
PR
-
It was a great shoot and I am already looking forward to next year.
It was way too hot though. If then are gonna plan for 8 stages again, they ought to think about doing it in cooler weather.
-
Congrats to PC and Lefty. :D :D
I must say the stages were great. I think all the stages had it written such that the rifle and pistol sequencing were the same. That was good as the heat did make concentration a little challenging.
One comment I have that we should keep in mind at West Point where we do down range. There should be someone dedicated to getting the long guns. It is difficult to set up the staging such that you will not inadvertently have the RO, shooter and/or the spotters sweep by empty, action open long guns. There were several stages Sunday where we were probably sweeping folks because of the way the fired long guns were staged.
Looking forward to Saturday. Git another shoot in before Star City.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Hey VA and other F&B members and other asscoiated friends.

Looked at the BP prices - Scheutzen is still cheaper than Goex.
I will talk to shop this week and see if they will honor re-enactor price for us SASS shooters
If they will it is 250.00 for a case. Since I would pick up no shipping/hazmat charge applies.
So far Wilcat Will and Sodbuster are interested to go in with me.
Anyone else? Little Rooster you interested?
Will and SB if no one else joins - you guys want 9 each and I will take 7?
I think it will all be 2f. I have plenty of 3f left.

If SB is in need he can have all he wants. I am sitting pretty good but will be happy to take whatever poundage is needed to fill out a 25 lb order. I have been using the Scheutzen in the shotgun and the Goex in everything else.

First shot downrange at 10am.

Thats probably cutting it too close next sunday - we are having our beginning of sunday school classes.
Once we start - the classes will begin at 645pm which gives plenty of time but the first sunday I have to be there by 430pm as all the instructors and assistants (thats me) have to be there early to meet each other and such.
I might be able to make the saturday mattaponi match and if I don't make that one - pprobably hit either the wakefield and or Ashland va (Cuba Kid bunch) match.
Got to shoot my 45-60 yesterday - she is sweet!!

Now for a gripe. I was looking at a couple of shoots I thought I might try to make in November but both of them are Thurs, Fri, Sat shoots. That means us poor working shumks havta try to get two days off. That really stinks. What happened to Fri, Sat, Sun schedules.
Okay I feel better.

Now I should be starting to tick someone off. Got back from the NE Regional yesterday. Didn't want to stay the extra day for the awards. I havta brag on the F & B Posse a bit. Miz Tricky Trina and I both shot an extremely dirty match.
YEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAA
Other of our shootin' pards who shot clean that I know of are, Longhorn Louie, Miz Annie, and Quilla Star.
YEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAA
Actually has another FCGF in our posse Dogmeat Dad. Good fella. Little Feather was shootin Lady FC duelist. We had 5 darksiders on our posse outta 20 shooter.

Well, here's a little update.....
There were 68 "clean shooters," yeah we were all lumped in that one.......
We had a few winners.... Miz Annie is the North Eastern Champion for Ladies Senior Duelist, Tensleep took seventh in Frontier Cartridge, Potter County Kid took fourth in Frontier Cartridge, Missouri Marshal took fourth in Frontier Cartridge Duelist, Sassy Shooting Sours is the North Eastern Champion in Ladies 49er and I am the North Eastern Ladies Frontier Cartridge Champion!
The Virginia Fire and Brimstone Posse is well represented in the North East Region..........
Well, we're packing up to move out tomorrow so I'll hollar at cha later......

Sounds like Fire and Brimstone were well well represented and did some mighty fine shooting!!
Hope ya'll had safe passage home yesterday afternoon and or today.

I have popped a few too using the dowel method.
Thankfully the basement ceiling is left unfinished in the loading space and due to that the dowel didn't touch the rafters:)!!
Will, I will keep my eyes out for an old shotgun press like the one I got from LCR. It is probably 1950/60's vintage but works great for depriming and seating primers. Everyone once in awhile I see one for like 40-50.00.
I hand load the rest of the way but could use the rest of press - noteworthy the press has both a tube to do a star crimp and a tube setup to do a roll crimp. If I get that old 97 the roll crimp will come in handy!!
Hey LR - remember when you gave me some big lube bullets to test?? You remeber if they were to try in the frenchie pistols or 44 for my OT's?

PR thanks for thinking of me. I went out and ordered a replacement for the Lee. Looks like it should hold up a little better. I need it to load the 45-70s also so, the Lee is an inexpensive way to go.
BTW Heard from Cammie and she tells me they needed one more to make the 5 for FCGF and wanted to know if I was planning on shootin that category. ::)
Hmmmmmmmmmm let me think. ;D ;D ;D What the heck why not!! He He He He He.

Thanks, LR. I may need to take you up on that offer. It won't be this weekend though. :(
-
SB, LR, WW, and LIT.
Here is the plan - I will put in the order for BP this friday.
Not sure if I can pick it up before the 14th of November - I can try but with work sked right now - that saturday seems the earliest time avail on my sked.
The list price for a 25lb case is 250.00 for re-enactors (the black powder guy gives us that price) - which is 10.00 a bottle (25 bottles each bottle being a lb)
From what I understand everyone wants 2F - right?
I want 5lbs or bottles for myself is 20 lbs (bottles) enough for everyone else? Is it possible we need more than one case?
Any other BP shooters who might be interested in a 2 case buy?
PR
-
PR,
As I said 3 to 5 lbs will do me so it depends on what the others want.
-
Don’t need none right now, PR. Thanks.
-
Not sure I need to order a case, but I could take up to a max of 12 lbs. I know there are pards in greater need than myself so unless someone could use a bunch I will take what no one else can take.
-
Thanks Will
So SB how much do you want? LR you sure you don't want any?
WW will take up to 12 but says he is flexible.
What I am thinking based on comments and what people wanted last time
SB - 7lbs
LIT - 3lbs
PR - 5lbs
WW - 10lbs
OR
SB - 8lbs
LIT - 4lbs
PR - 5lbs
WW - 8 lbs
I think the Powder guy will honor price if we do another half case - 12 lbs. You guys want me to check and then we split 37lbs of powder?
SB - 12lbs
LIT - 7lbs
PR - 8lbs
WW - 12 lbs
or some to LR?
PR

I have no problems with any of the proposals. My favorite is the second one:
SB - 8lbs
LIT - 4lbs
PR - 5lbs
WW - 8 lbs

LR?

I'm back in ole Virginy. Great match, fun time with new and old pards and we did make some smoke. SB wernt kiddin' on that first day. I were a dancing tryin' ta see targets on the first stage Friday.
No kills by SB or myself.....HOWEVER..... there was this one stage. We were the last posse to shoot it and it involved shootin a 7 ft dummy dressed in cowboy clothes and stuffed wit pillows. We had to shoot a pistol at em from about 4-5 ft away. SB and I were grinnin' when we heard that. ;D SB was the first BP to go and they went a lookin fur water when he were dun. ;D The burm marshal said aint nobody dun that on any other posses. When I came up about 4 shooter later I were a lookin' for a dry spot. Musta found one cause they were a waterin' down that fella agin. :o

I don't know if ya'll havin' a bit of a time finding lead shot or getting wheel weights, but I was. The place I was using to get shot was out and had no luck finding 8 - 9 shot size. I went online and found a place called Rotometals out of CA in the Bay Area. They reclaim lead for I would guess primarily ship work.
I ordered 50 lb of 8.5 for $89 no shipping or tax. They had all shot sizes available. While I was there I also ordered 1:25 lead ingots at $2.12/lb agin no tax or shipping. It took about 4 days to arrive.
If you are interested their address is www.rotometals.com

Nice going WW! I am picking up some shot today myself.
I have placed the Holiest of powder - powder orders and might be able to do a pick up this weekend or next.
I am getting two things of the "diamond back powder" to try - it is made in Brazil and supposedly they have been in touch with Scheutzen and are delivering similar quality.
I figure I would try it in some shot shells and then go from there.
It is same price as scheutzen but if it is good stuff and i see it cheaper - always good to know the alternatives!

Wahoooooooooooooo Powder is in the house!!
Schuetzen will be going up in 2010 but the Brazilian powder (diamondback) most likely will stay at 250 for a case.
I got 2 1lb containers of it to try. The guy said to get the price he agreed to get 25000 lbs this year so if it works out well - might be a good powder to switch to.
He said the NSSA crowd and guys who shoot the mil spec henry's like it.

I see that the Pungo match is cancelled again tomorrow due to weather/ground conditions.
What needs to be done to solve this? Is it solvable?
Would a delivery from a turf farm help solve the problem?
It is solvable in. There needs to be a few things done to the range. 1st the Floor needs to be raised about 18" when I was still on the ASC board I figured it to be about 8 dump truck loads. Then it needs to be leveled for proper drainage. 2nd thing that needs to be done is to build a wall separating the 50m and 100m ranges. From the last board meeting I went to the wall project was in the works but moving at snails pace. $$$$ is the biggest factor right now. The last thing that needs to be done is plant some foliage into the berms so they keep from falling. I offered to transplant some Kudzu and English Ivy from my yard but was told no. Something about 4-H not wanting it to take over the entire complex. Never know some still might get planted when no one is watching. Then main issue I see at the range is 4-H has a agenda and so does ASC but neither has the same one.

Has anyone heard the dates for the Blue Ridge Roundup? I know it is normally the second or third week of April but my fifth grandkid is due to come onto the scene on April 10. I want to start making my annual matches list for this year.
-
So far the long term outlook looks better for that ;D
At this point I want to see my cowboy friends for the first time since mid fall and deliver some powder. I think I will mess around with my french pistols again. Nate and I have been chatting about converting them into a more cowboy friendly caliber - and as along as I continue to use BP at about 1.0cc to 1.3cc the guns are built for that power of BP loads. It will ruin their collector value but I like them and doubt I will ever want to trade/sell them
I have been reloading and have completely replaced my stocks of powder, cleaned and primed brass (although probably need to do another couple hundred or so of 38spl), and bullets. I have reloaded the rest of my 44 russian brass and have started on my 38spl reloads - hoping to get another 200 done this weekend.
Nate has my 44 Rusky Open Tops that needed a tune up and another pair of open tops in the making with the older style R&D non-gated conversions and another pair of 36 Navy C&B's.
I should get official orders in next couple weeks so I am holding off signing up for the spring/summer matches until i get those orders.
I should be good for the early spring matches but we'll see.

Has anyone heard the dates for the Blue Ridge Roundup?
I just checked the calendar on the club's website - www.blueridgeshooters.com. It shows a 3-day Cowboy match Saturday-Monday on April 17-19. The SASS Calendar of Annual matches also shows these same dates. This seems odd to me that they would schedule Sat-Mon.
There is nothing yet on the Blue Ridge Regulator's website yet - www.brrcowboy.com.
That same weekend is the NC State Blackpowder Championship (Fri-Sat - 4/16 & 4/17) so some of our NC pards may have to choose which one to attend.

SB will that be the same week of your annual Vegas (strickly buissness trip ::))?

It usually is. This year's NAB convention is April 10-15 so if the Round-Up does not change their dates, I should be able to attend <fingers crossed>

You're right about the SASS site. They have 2009 & 2010 matches mixed together. That one still says 2009.
I just checked the Blue Ridge Shooters site *AGAIN* and it does say 2010 and a Sat-Mon match. I think they may have applied the 2009 dates onto the 2010 calendar. Go here to see:
http://www.blueridgeshooters.com/calendar.php?

PR I think Saturday is lookin' like a bust. Weather everywhere I look aint good.
As fur the MM bridge tunnel if ya go South in the AM and North in the PM you are sorta going opposite most of the traffic. I am in northern Suffolk and I work (sorry fur cussin' like that) in Newport News so I go the other way. However, your best bet if ya will be attached to the CG base on the southside is to find a place either in Churchland area or in the Suffolk area. Plenty of place available.
Give me a holler if ya want to talk more on that.
-
Not official just yet but close enough for planning purposes ;D!
The final message should come out friday, I am pretty confident the assignment won't change.
Heck I already have been welcomed by the CO and the guy that I am replacing and I have been going over what we think will be good relief periods in late spring/early summer.
Due to some training programs and 1-2 week schools I may have to miss some shooting opportunities - not sure about the Md State match - since it will be right in the middle of the moving and new job period.
I think though that the Mattaponi Gathering and Round-Up is early enough that they should not be an issue and since the BP match is one day - it should not be an issue either.
Course it does not hurt that most of those schooling/training programs are held out of the CG Base at Yorktown!!

We are leaning to the north side, but i have a brother that may need his house rented in Va Beach due to his set of orders.
Big thing for us actually is getting a military program to cover our house loss if we sell. If I do not get that I will geo-bachelor (family stays in Manassas) and be looking for a small effieiciency or something like that.
If we are not sure i will probably stay with Mom inlaw for awhile up in Williamsburg.
The house values fell 147% here in Manassas, so while I was reasonable and stayed with my means - we can not stomach the huge loss we would take if we do not get the military program that helps those with orders in situations like we are in.
Plus due to my specialty - it is most likely that I will have another DC tour.

Nope, I can't get out of my neighborhood. I am not sure I will make it out by Monday. Then we are scheduled for more snow on Tuesday-Wednesday.

I told my wife with the temps we are expecting monday that I do not see how I will get out of my cul de sac for work monday either.
Evidentlly Loudoun has already closed schools for monday and tuesday.
Manassas has the largest snow total based out of the local weather with 29 inches - wahoooooooooooooo
I think tonight I will reload the 43 spanish empties I have and then maybe do the dozen brass shells i have that are empty.

Well, I had to werk last night (sorry about the cussin') and just drove home. Luckily, the roads here are pretty clear with only minor patches of ice (at least in the three miles I had to drive). I saw some of the weather bulletins we get through NCIC and I saw that Fairfax got 28 inches of that damned white stuff. Lord, Thank you for sparing us here..... Mom said she got nuttin up in NY and my brother didn't have to go out and plow the town streets. Now it's time to hit the rack - we were pretty busy last night. Have a good day and keep warm!!

Between shoveling duties, playing games with kiddos and cleaning the house (man salt and grime build up quick) - I never got to the reloading bench.
Fed Gov't is off today and even the kids seen uninterested at the moment in playing in the white stuff for now.
We will venture out for some minor errands and probably hit chic-fila for lunch later (kids favorite).
Then brace for next onslaught of snow tues afternoon/wedns day - heard everything from 6 inches to getting hammered again.
We are scheduled to be down in Williamsburg this weekend - I will let WW and LIT know for sure friday. I will drive down early saturday am - but will stay through monday am (fed holiday).

Found a 44-40 1873 for under 600.00
Thinking about buying it and then getting the carrier changed and having it sleeved for 44 russian.
I figure that it will end up costing me close to another 200-300.00 to get the parts and work done - but that is still at cost of a new rifle and you can't buy them in 44 russian.
The only better alternative is a 1866 in 44special (only would require a 44 russian carrier) and you don't see many of those anymore!

Looks like I am reporting on 27 April to my new job and will live in Williamsburg probably through June/late summer until we can sell house or find out that family has to stay in house.
If family has to stay I will most likely then start slowly looking for a closer efficiency/room above a garage or something.

I am really glad i was very agressively reloading this winter. I have more than enough ammo to make it through the summer with reloading - all ammo except shotgun.
I have hand tools to do that if I have to but Mom Inlaw may let me set up shop in Williamsburg while i am there - at least for shotgun.
I probably owe Nate a phone call cause i think it told him i was coming.
I may come down for the shoot in Richmond and think i will be shooting at least one day at the "gathering" - still working that out.
I am definitely going to Lexingston state shoot.

Noticed yesterday that the SC State Championship has been moved to Memorial day weekend and is now being hosted by the Palmetto Posse in Columbia, SC. Sure would like to go but SOM is the same weekend. Darn and Drat.
-
Gotta question for ya. This fella I know called me the other day at work and wanted to know if I was interested in a project gun. It is a Nitro Express 12g sxs with damascus barrels. Says it is missing a stock and stock screws. He tells me when he got it, he was told it was safe to shoot with bp. My question is do you think I would take my loads. Obviously I would have to have someone look at it, but he only wants $50.
What ya think?
-
I think I would ask him if he minded you taking it in to Nate to take a look at.
If it is a Nitro Express - the damascus barrles should be really good ones and if they are in good condition then great but if not - it would only be a wall hanger.
Moving down to Williamsburg next weekend.
Last day of work in DC was friday - wahoooooooooooooooooo

For those who like to shoot real BP, I tried out Diamondback last weekend and it worked just fine and seemed to clean up even easier than Goex. I just made a big order through Powder Inc and it is running 10.15 a lb. That is about $3.50 a lb cheaper than Goex. I think I am converting.

Missouri Marshall, Potter County Kid & I made lots of thich sweet smoke...no 'sketers that I could see...although there were a few ticks! :o
TIB was a good shoot....about 45 shooters both days but not nearly enough shootin' REAL gunpowder.
In looking over the list of shooters, I think I was the only one listed as "FC" and Missouri Marshall and Potter were the only ones listed as "FCD".
-
Sorry I couldn't help out wid the skeeters - had to keep the inmates flowing in the jail. I earned my paycheck this weekend - your tax dollars were hard at work, that's fer shure. I've been working intake now for about 18 months and it still amazes me how many people out there drink and drive. But, I'll be making smoke with y'all for the next couple of weekends......

Kinda like my foo-foo one cup at a time coffee brewer - Called 'em and told 'em about a problem I wuz havin - next thing I knows, they's a sendin' me a new, FREE brewer AND two boxes of FREE coffee wid it. On top of that, they sent me coupon for another FREE box of coffee for my "troubles." Now THAT'S customer service!

Ain’t thinkin’ the ‘Chucker’s gonna bust
On the third Mr. Coffee 4 cup thingy since December. They keep replacin’ ‘em…………..
Microwave busted. The over the cook-top type w/ the vent hood. The thing haddah label inside said ‘manufactured 1993’. Hope the replacement lasts that long………….
-
Usually Mr. Coffee's more reliable that that - wonder what they changed ???
-
Dunno……..
The one from last year had a l’il age on it ‘n died – outtah warranty. The next one blew a gasket. Half the water went thru the filter ‘n inta the pot as coffee. T’other half went on the counter top as a mess. The clock/timer quit on the next one ‘n when it did nothin’ else would work. The appliance repair place sends ‘em back ‘n Mr. Coffee FedExs ya a new one. I bought a back-up.
Wish Goex would replace these cans of powder I got what keep gettin’ themselves empty. The stuff seems ta just go up in smoke.

While I know ya'll realize i have a screw loose (or two or three), ;D I apparently had one loose on my shotgun. Yesterday on the first stage I notices one of the hammers on my shotgun was on the loading table but unfortunately not attached to the shotgun. Not good. The screw holding had come out somewhere. I didn't find it at the table or in the gun safe. I was able to get the other one off and made sure the threads on the lost side were good. I tried gunparts.com and go the message "out of stock, try again later". Guess I am down to two shotguns until I can find a replacement screw. :'(
I want to publicly thank MM for letting me share his (all purdy and shiney and the shells just fall out) shotgun and let me use some of his fancy plastic shotshells.
See ya'll next week at SOM.

Well...Now I am.
I got stuck at the jobsite and missed the last flight out so I decided to drive back. Between the Long Island traffic and the 2 hr backup on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River bridge (a bus caught fire), it took me a little over 12 hours of driving to get him. I am very tired and will not be able to make it to SOM III. Sorry for the late notice.

Yesterday was a great match as usual MM wrote outstanding stages, n I aint just sayin that cause I got mentioned in em.
Lookin forward to next year, but I don't know if I can do that six stages straight with out a break, this old body just don't stand up to well to that any more.

WW awesome news.
I had a blast - so many smokey shooters is OH so much fun!!
MM and TT did a great job and I am looking forward to the next SOM.

Loose screws and I don't shoot Marlins ;D - who would have thunk it! Interesting how that little screw holding in the loading gate on a convresion or open top can cause a pistol to bind up.

Had a scare last night. Seems one of my kiddos spilt water in truck and mive moved my pistol bag to try to clean it up.
Since I did not know of incident until 3 days later I did not check pistols until last night.
One of them had significant running rust on top of barrel :o. It all came off but the barrel looks a bit splotchy in places.
The guns had been cleaned and gotten a light coating of balistol before being put in bag so guns are fine but was definitely not a sweet sight to see when i pulled them out of the bag.
The pistol on the other side of the bag did not get wet at all so was fine.
From now on the pistols and rifles will always be in the back of the truck and not close to any water sources, regardless of them being in a coller or capped.

Howdy Pards,
Jus stopped in ta say Howdy. Ain't been here much lately, been real busy makin loading blocks, loading ammo and other stuff. Trina keeps me up to day on the F&B Posse, speaking of Trina since she hasn't answered for sure, yes we are going to NC State, also WV State, VA State and Mason Dixon Stampede. Done sent the applications in for them all and and got conformations back from VA and Mason Dixon. Hey, since I'm here, does anyone know where I can find a Buntline in .38 or .357? I want one with at least a 12" barrel, longer if I can find one. Please let me know if you know where to find one. Only ones I have been able to find are in .45. Might end up settlin for that but I really, really want one in .38, jus like my mentor.

Thankee on behalf of the bored..
The thing’s a pile of fun when ya wanna l’il. Used mine inna WASA shoot years ago for a rifle sequence, cleared it, took the stock off ‘n holstered the thing. Moved to the pistol position, drew ‘n loaded it then shot it on those targets. Weak side had the other one in it. T’was a hoot!
Don’t know on the prices taday. Do know I’d seriously think ‘bout lettin’ mine go for a grand.

I've got a colt thunder .41 cal . I see them in simular working condition. for double to 3 times what I paid for mine. They remain listed on GB, One ever sells that high I'll list mine. ;D

He like that one way too much. Besides, it looks like it has adjustable sights and ya can't have that in FC categories.

Tis adjustable sighted w/ a ramp front. That could be a pic of mine ‘cept mine ain’t got the ring on the stock.

It does look pretty good.
I'll send an email to my friend in Louisiana that shoots a pair in competitions regularly.

I think those Buntlines have a cool/fun factor, but they don't appear practicle for anything else. They'd be a PIA to holster with a scope and bi-pod for hunting.

Got grnddaughters birthday this weekend and I am On-Call the next so it will be a while before I get to shoot again. This summer weather is not that conducive for me to be shooting in either. It is kind of strange to be getting end of July, begginning of August weather in June. I wonder if this means we will see an early Fall.

I graduated my school with 100's% on all tests but one - which I got a 93% on.
Closed accounts yesterday and finishing that up today.
Have my walk through on new house in Chesapeake on 03 July and will start moving stuff in.
Does anyone on the posse have a heavy duty dolly? I need to pick up my brother's safe from his house before 15 July and keep it for him for 2 years. I know I can rent one.
The cool thing is he wants me to shoot up some of his ammo and shoot his guns. I am looking forward to shooting his 1873 replica full length winchester in 45lc and his Isreali heavy barrel FAL in 308....among others!
Hope to shoot with ya'll soon.

I see a couple of places offer them flechettes by the pound for the home reloader. Use them on knock downs take a maganet out and reclaim them after a match :o I'm not planning on patrolling Jungles or clearing rooms with my 500 think it might be a little over Kill on the steel targets.

Those flecchettes if they are "military grade" will take out a knock down completely and make it into something needed to be replaced.

Wife will probably head out thursday to help and I will have the kiddos.

For those of you who were unable to make it to the Pungo Posse match yesterday you missed a great time for the first match at our new location. We had quite a few visitors from the shotgun world coming down to see what all the noise was about. Most left with a smile on their faces.

I didn't win anything but finished the 8-stage match with only two misses.
Frio Canyon Ranger won his catagory - DUEIST (not FCD). I think he was the only one in that catagory! :P
Hooser was a no-show. I hope he is OK.
The weather was waaaay cooler than last year which made the 8 stages easy to do....still the humidity sucked....only got a few sprinkles from the sky - no downpours.
There was a moment of silence for Tensleep after the safety meeting.
How was the shoot at Mattaponi? I hope the weather held out and the 21-gun salute for 10ZZZ was a success. Sorry I missed it.

SB howdy pard!
Glad they did that for Tenzzzz
We had a great match if a bit humid. I was shooting great for me but had brain fade on stage 5 and gun got gunked up and man did it kill me ( i think it was like 134 second stage!!0).

Earl passed by without much more than some wind and rain.
Spent most of the day out at the barn. Had the Vet out because Mendocino, my horse, was breathing real hard. It appears to be an allergic reaction to something, Vet suspect mold spores in the hay, so I have a 5 day regimine of medications to give him, twice a day, and need to dampen his bedding to keep down dust, and soak his hay to keep down any mold spores.
That means I won't be shooting at Pungo with my pards so I hope y'all in Waverly can make enough Fire, Smoke , Boom, and Stink so I can hear it in Chesapeake.

Way to go to my fellow F&B Posse folks.
I have been able to steal away to my loading bench and with a little work today will have 600 new loaded rounds today.
Cleaned all my stored brass and loading up lots of bullets with the one true powder!
Hoping to shoot next sunday at Sussex/Pungo!

Hey, y’all.
Went ta the farmers’ market yestitty. Got me some produce. Sorry Will, the butcher shop didn’t have no rabbit.
S&H, my favorite stand, had habanero peppers five fer a dollar. Figgered why not. Chopped one up with ‘maters, cucumber, olives, kosher pickles ‘n such in south west dressin’. Never et the things before ‘n I found out quick why not. That was right painful. The other four went in the garbage.
Damn. That was nasty.
-
I have only added in some shavings of the Habanero peppers to dishes and have found it quite strong.
A dab will definitely do ya!
I did manage to squeeze in 30 shotgun shell reloads along with the 600 38 spl rounds this past weekend. I suppose I could reload faster if I did not hand dip my BP loads - but I do like my quiet time at the bench!
Think I will load me up some 45lc now - since I have to baby sit an 1873 in 45LC for 2 years (along with a bunch of other guns in my brothers safe)!!
Heck he told me to please shoot the guns - so I will do as asked!
PR
-
Does he know your are going to put the one true powder through them PR?
-
Why yes he does for the cowboy guns.
For his FAL and other guns I will run smokeless for his sake - I know hard cross to bear right!:)
So who all is shooting this weekend and where?
Looks like I can only shoot sunday due to work and some family stuff.
Hope to see some of ya'll out there!

Well, we'll see ya satidday. I won't be shooting, but probably doin the cipherin fer the scores. We'll be at Pungo on Sunday too.... no shooting fer me fer at least another month. Startin ta go thru withdrawals.... May have ta go git a pain pill here pretty soon. See y'all soon!!

Nice cool morning, will finsh loading the truck here in the next hour and be off to shoot.

Very cool this morning in chesapeake, va.

Got some 12 guage to finish with wads shot and glued overshot cards and need to resize and deprime more 38 spl brass.
Holy moly looks like I need to order some 38spl bullets!
See ya'll sunday!

bought box off Remo Williams yesterday
Fun shoot yesterday, smoke hung low making finding targets a trick. Wildcat Will killed a target 'r two. What stinky I made was doubled after lunch...Devil'd aigs was delicious ;D

Smoke was hanging today too. Was glad it stayed overcast for us - cause when the smoke hangs low and sun is bright - that "white out" from the smoke makes nothing visible:)!
No Dead targets but a good time was definitely had by all.
There were some odd hat arrnagments on our fellow F&B Posse members but I think I'll give the honors to TT for showing those photos online!:)
Hope to shoot with ya'll again real soon!

How do, Drayton.
Looks like you retired about the time we got CAS goin’ at the old Pungo range in Va. Beach. The Virginia Beach Rifle & Pistol Club. We got run off by developers buildin’ upscale houses a few years ago. The nice part is the houses didn’t sell ‘n the place went splat. But the range will never be back.
We had some older fellas there that were rather fond of the ML game ‘n like cowboys they traveled the commonwealth to shoot with folks. Yer paths may have crossed. Only name I can recall is Dick Foster. He was a hoot. Sadly, he passed away some time ago. They were all good folks ‘cept for one I didn’t care for. If I showed up at off hours ‘n they were there I wouldn’t shoot much. I’d rather listen to their stories ‘n watch ‘em poke fun at one another.
We moved the CAS stuff to Wakefield but those folks got ta be a PIA. Found a place just up the road a ways in Sussex. They love the noise ‘n screamin’ ‘n yellin’. Let us get away with pretty much anything we wanna do. ‘N we do have some folks addicted to the BOOM, fire, smoke ‘n stink.
Ya ever back this way holler ‘n get up with us.

Got back from MDS last night and I must say it was the worst shootin' I've done at a match I travelled to git to. The stages were as much fun as last year but my ammo gave me so much greef I considered leaving after the first day. Probably should have.
For those who have switched over to Diamondback powder, I have found that loading the same volume in my cases does NOT compress as well as the GOEX does. I also find that I get about 10 -15 fewer rounds. When I compress the loads I am deforming the booolet which is making it too wide. This is making it not load properly in the rifle (and the pistol but it is obvious in them). I had to force the lever closed to make it go BOOOOOOM.
This morning I got out the micrometer and found that boolets were .458 in loaded cases. I reduced the load so as not to compress as much and loaded 4 rounds. Those mic at .450. These measurements were taken on the boolet right at the top of the case. The loading book call for .452. I carefully cycled the new loads and they cycle properly.
As for the other issue at MDS was stage one on day two where I fire 7 shotgun rounds at a knockdown and it wiggled but did not fall. The one next to it was shot first and it fell with no problem. Two fellas were certain I was blowing a hole through my pattern. I tried to explain that the one next to it fell and I have be using this load for many years with no problems. There were not convinced.
Bottom line I suspect I finished 399 out of 400 (assuming someone didn't show because of the flooding. I actually lost my YEEEEEE HAAAAAA but I will work on finding it before my next match.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ????
-
BTW a conventioneer at MDS had a 32" 10 gauge that was calling my name. It almost came home with me. He wanted $550. Just did not have the financial wherewithall to manage that at this time. I could have made some real BOOOOOM with that little lady.

Wish ya had called me, I would have got the money to you somehow. I would LOVE to have a 10ga! Heck maybe we could have been partners on it and share it. I'd share a gun with ya, jus not my woman, well not unless she was part of the deal for the 10ga. :o Yeeee Haaa! Oh, don't worry about your Yeee Haaa.

D’odorant….. Careful if ya find it, Roo. Known some folks ta rub it on then dry up ‘n blow away. **POOF**
Untamedfeline William, mi amigo. Myownself was perfectly happy with my load ‘til we had ta clear the star it TiB a few back. They didn’t handle it too well. Missed a bunch ah clays from launchers too. Started stickin’ shot cups in ‘em ‘n it got a lot better. Now that we got a range we can play on we could bring out some paper ‘n pattern the things.
Oh, ‘n if ya run inta that ten again I can float ya a loan. Ten easy payments of seventy five bucks, federal, a month. Didn’t make no money yestitty. Kept tellin’ them frettin’ ‘bout their times I could deduct some fer em as I was the afishal scorekeeper. Five bucks per second(s) deducted, take it right off there – no takers……….
Yer always welcome, Drayton.
-
Will - I am thinking you need to check the bullets before the powder.
I have had no issue with DB and 38's; however, I did have some over compressed 44 rounds a few years back over GOEX and the lead in the bullets was soft enough that the bullets deformed.
Are you "miking" the bullets before you load them up - seems odd that they would deform so much...
Anyway, i will trade you some Schuetzen for the DB if you like. I think I have 4 full bottles left.
Also Sodbuster was wondering if anyone needed some more powder and wanted to go in on a buy.
Sorry you had the bad luck - dang that 10 guage smokepole sure sounded nice.

Herd the old folks and the shamans speak of this
-
Hmmm, a 10, and the knockdowns do quaketh with fear! That might be one I wouldn't try shooting both barrels at the same time on.
-
I'm giving some real serious thought about calling the fella (I got his card) and seeing if he could come off the price a bit.
As for the boolets, they mic at about .448. After loading they are .450 and they cycle fine. However, not only are some of them pushing .455 but you can see a groove around the top. I have also noticed when I needed to pull a boolet the compressed powder was much hard to remove than I remember with Goex. I messed around with the load today and found if I decreased the powder to about an 1/8th of an inch below the top instead of 1/16th or full the boolet did not deform. I don't think it will have an appreciable change in the BOOOOM, Smoke, Fire or Stink and the round cycle properly in the rifle.
As for the YEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAA I'm sure as soon as I get this ammo issue taken care of it will be back. I can YEEEEEE HAAAAA after a crappy stage when I just shoot bad. However, when the problem is mechanical or ammo it really bugs me. It took a while for me to get the shotgun loading straight where I warnt shootin' blanks cause the shot ran down my barrel. <Remember, this is a family site!>
I'm not sure about Lost River Saturday but I should be at the SSS match Sunday.
-
Wildcat we have all had issues with the shotshells especially with the top card leaving you before you pull the trigger. Like Arcey sed you have the place to put some on paper. My last outing at Lost river I used 4 rounds on a knock down. I forgot that my Stoeger I need to aim lower on the target than my other shotguns.
I have changed my loads in the past year or two to 70 grains of ffg and 1 oz of shot. Both Brass and plastic hulls

Hey - WW call the guy back tomorrow maybe you/we can work something out with him!
Heck if it ends up being a "shared Blackpowder Posse gun" I'll even buy the first 50 pieces of brass for that there 10 guage!
LR ain't kidding with the shotshells - i had so many issues just over a year ago that I gave him a bunch of shot, powder and primers and shot plastic with my brass for almost half a year until i finally switched completely to my glue gun glue.
WW - I will say will that the only bp shotgun that I do not have issues with the star is my Martini single shot - because it has a very tight pattern 12 guage round full of shot coming out of a 14 guage hole.

MM I would be gentle with you star. I promise! ::) I could bring the 12 for the star if thaaat worried. <might not use it but I could bring it. he he he>
-
Will, I have found reloading components for the mighty ten.
However it is with using paper and plastic shells - mostly Federal Hulls - which would need to be trimmed.
The only 10 guage brass shells that are available are the Rocky Mountain ones - which are quite expensive - 78.00 for 10!.
Although you can personalize your shells which would be pretty cool.
Lincoln County has mighty ten shells from them for his 10 guage lever action 1901 Winchester and says that they are much beefier than the magtechs and stand the test of time.

Slim takes on two stars with the Mighty Ten. Ten plates cleared with six shells. From TiB a few years back.

PR I had a good conversation with Nate when I arranged for shipment of the "10". Although they are a bit costly to begin with, the brass shells will last for a loooooooonnnnnnggggggg time and I can load with the equipment I have now. The plastic hulls will burn out, according to Nate after three or four uses and I would need to get a loader.
Arcey I have got to meet Slim. We can raise the roof together with the "10"s.
-
Will roger that - the 10 guage cases will last much longer and are quite hefty compared to our magtechs.
Plus you can get them stamped on the rim with whatever you want.
I am still willing to help buy the innards and shells - have your ordered already?

Oxycodone. What I had in the horsepistol ‘n at home when I escaped. Got off those things as soon as I could. Won’t say what I did with the ones I didn’t swallow. Will say there’s happy fish ‘n water moccasins at Trashmore.
Percocet didn’t help none when I crushed a few toes. Folks in Vice ‘n Narcotics told me some people will kill for it.
Vicodin don’t help much on pinched nerves.
Back in the good ole days I got Demerol when a wisdom tooth blew up. That was some good stuff.
-
Honey, are you telling me you want me to sleep while you drive?
The good docs at the ER gave me some sort of synthetic narcotic when I had my kidney stones. It made me feel really weird until it knocked me out and when I woke up I still felt icky. Can't remember the name until I hear it, but I have been offered it since and refused it. Demerol does work wonders, especially with migraines. Oxycodone is highly addictive and a real good seller amongst the druggies. They will pay good money for it. I just can't see why people like taking narcs when all they do is knock you out. They gave me that Xanax stuff for my MRI 'cause I'm clautrophobic and it made me real goofy (goofier MM would say). Went to sleep shortly thereafter and slept through the whole procedure. Don't see what people get out of that either. Guess I suck as a druggie.
Well, I gotta think about getting ready for work. We were really busy last night - warrant sweep last night and tonight too. They all complained about how long they were at the jail. Bitch mode kicked in a few times and I would tell them that they wouldn't be there if they hadn't broken the law. Or "Funny, I managed to stay out of jails and the backs of police cars for 40 some odd years." They didn't want my editorial comments.
Ya'll take care - see ya down the trail (with or without Vicoden)......

Yey pards hope to see a bunch of ya'll next weekend. My buckarette in training will be in Ohio next weekend but after that I need to get her out and watching and trying different things.
BTW I will be up near Winchester the weekend of the 20th and the weekend after thanksgiving.
I am willing to make a powder run if someone wants to order it and get the ok for me to pick it up.
I could use 4-5 lbs but really don't need anymore than that. I am fine with paying for Schuetzen and or Diamondback.
Anybody want to do a group buy/order?
PR
BTW how did NC go?
-
I will always be willing to take a few lbs if we need to round out an order. PR I found if I don't fill the case as full with Diamondback, the problem with the boolet getting deformed goes away. Still seems to make plenty of BOOOOM, Smoke, Fire and Stink.

Almost a case.
I think if'n you take 3 or so we are at 20...
LIT or Little Rooster - ya'll need powder?

Put me down for whatever is needed to round out the order.

I plan on calling the powder guy either tuesday or wednsday.
A case of Scheutzen is 310. That is 12.40 per container
LIT or LR we have about 5-6 lbs left available if you guys need some. Otherwise I think Me and WW will just round out the order with Sodbuster and have some extra in case the hostiles get well too hostile:)!

Powder update - 2f scheutzen
12 lbs Sodbuster - 148.80 + 1 lb 1f Goex - 14.00 = 162.80
7 lbs Wildcat Will - 86.80
6 lbs Poney Racer - 74.40
SB if you want 11 2f and then the single 1f I will pick up the other 2f.
I plan to order either tuesday or wedns this week and plan to pick up this coming weekend.
SB - I will be up that way this weekend and weekend after Turkey day so we can meet up then.
WW I plan to be at the Toys for Tots campaign in Sussex - I heard them bad guys besmerching Big Burtha's good name:) I think they need a taste of some 10 guage lead! Or we can meet up down there since we live so close to each other.
Everybody good with the plan?

Sounds good to me. We can work out the details for pickup for the weekend after Turkey day if that is good for you.
Burtha needs to be feed. She beltched some good Smoke, Fire and Stink but I think the BOOOOOOOM was a bit lacking. :'( Hope to get the brass in so I can do some real loading. :o

Sounds like the Mattaponi shoot was awful sweet with great weather and shooting fun for everyone.
I will be shooting the Pungo Posse Toys for Tots shoot at Sussex.

Hey, y’all!
A marvelous discovery! A New Balance shoebox is a perfect fit for a mixed dozen one pound containers of Schuetzen ‘n Goex.
If this place ever catches fire……………………………..

Wouldn't make as big a hole as our would.... good drugs right now.... just got back from PT and WalMart - both torture anyway ya look at it.

Hope you get to feeling better TT. I would think Walmart would be a treat for you Trina, or does laughing that hard at seeing the customers make your shoulder hurt more?
-
Seeing some of those pictures makes you wonder - who really thought they could go out looking like THAT? Ronnie can't fathom leaving the house without at least a pair of jeans on. No sweats for him. I have no problems wearing sweats or my cowboy clothes to WalMart, but I don't wear anything that would cause anyone to say "Oh My God!" Ronnie wouldn't allow it anyway. My shoulder is giving me some problems, but my upper arm muscles are really killling me. The therapist says it's from weakening of the muscles and using the mouse too much. Either way, sleep is very elusive. Two or three hours at a time, if I'm lucky and Ronnie doesn't think I'm getting enough sleep. I would give my right arm (shoulder) to get a good night's sleep. I don't remember having this much trouble with the other shoulder.
Enough of that - how's the knee?
-
Made a comment a bit ago on another thread. The damned weather change makes this incision feel like the knife’s still in it. Ain’t complainin’ ‘cuz I got most the use of my left arm back. Most will never know the joy of bein’ able to turn a signal light on ‘til ya can after ya couldn’t.
We be gettin’ old.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to all my good friends. I spent 3 hours at the hospital today. Looks like I have a serious muscle strain in my upper right thigh.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Trina. Glad ya will be able to make some magnificent Smoke! ;D
Unfortunately it is becoming more and more obvious I will not for the next several weeks. :'( :'( :'(

does SASS allow for designated shooters?
-
Well, after the first shot with the shotgun, I found out that I cain't do that just yet...... but shooting the rifle and pistols was okay! Tried shooting the shotgun lefty and found out that I AM NOT ambidextrous....AT ALL! And I screwed up my shooting stance trying to do it - must have been funny to watch tho. I tried to shoot right handed from my left side and it was all downhill from there. Today BOTH shoulders are sore.... actually, I have mucscles that are sore that I haven't used in months. But, at least I got to smoke it up a little (three stages) and spent the rest of the day ROing the posse. MM said he was gonna lighten up some BP loads fer me and put that recoil reducer in. We'll see how that works next weekend.
So, what did I learn this weekend?
1. Right shoulder still not up to par....
2. I can't shoot long guns left handed AT ALL....
3. Crinolines SUCK while shooting....
4. A little smoke is better than NO smoke at all....
5. My wool coat is AWESOME in cold weather....
6. Toe warmers for my boots are awesome....
7. And all my cowboy pards are AWESOME!! Mad Dog Savage said he would be my desginated shooter several times....
-
TT - you were a true testament to being a super duper cowgirl and pardette!
It was darn right cold yesterday - but everyone made out all right!
The people I was looking out for in my job made it home ok too.
Cost me another decent night of sleep but hey choose your rate/rank choose your fate!:)
Can't make it out next weekend but hope to be at Mattaponi for the Dec shoot.
Anyone know if we are doing the Christmas Dinner at Nicks after that shoot or another night?

Still working up in Yankee-land waaaay too much.
I should be able to shoot next Saturday (if I am not too tired & can stay awake while driving to/from the shoot).
The following weekend looks good too.

Just heard from Dave at Rocky Mountain Cartridges and the brass for Big Burtha is made and should be shipped out tomorrow. ;D ;D ;D
Now let's see. 95gns of FF seemed a bit wimpy as folks were not running away. I need 25 rounds for a one day match. A lb of FF will make about 100 rounds of 12 ga with 75 gns; so 4 times 75 is 300 and I'm not sure I can compress that enough to get the shot in there. So if I get about 50 (enough for a weekend match) that would be about 150 gns. HMMMMMMMMMM That just might be possible. ::)

Jeff Bridges plays Rooster as folksy, mumbling and rambling, far different than Wayne's portrayal. If Hamlet can be interpreted by so many different actors, why not Rooster Cogburn? from the Pilot

I agree that different actors will give certain roles a new twist. However, the role of Rooster in my mind was defined by The Duke. From the clips I have seen and what I have read, they have changed the story a bit and yet tried to keep the personality of the character the same. With Hamlet the words are the same the try to give them different meaning for the presented time period.
I have seen a lot of remakes of movies and generally the original is the best. Not sure why that is but it seems to be. When I see this movie, and I will on DVD/TV, I will be spending most of my time comparing the Bridges to Wayne.

Just come back from Clark Bros. the storm must have after Christmas shoppers scared off. It was dead there. Only 2 or 3 at the range and a half dozen or so in the store. Highway was full of Snowbirds heading south though

Heading south? Hopefully they are not stopping here or northern NC. We are getting snow and lots of it.
Supposedly 10-15 inches.

OH MY GOD!!! Just got home from werk *spit* ...... the roads are TERRIBLE!! 20 mph down Princess Anne Road otherwise I'da been in that ditch with that other guy. Thank God, I only have to drive 3 miles to get home. And if the main roads are like this, the side roads are 100 times worse! The two saving graces: 1.) I don't havta leave the house agin til Wednesday. 2.) MM shovelled me a clean spot in the driveway. I love that man of mine............... :-*

I need to spend some quality time in my cave/half the garage today since my space was used for hiding space and get empty christmas lights/decoration bins out of the way space. Need to do some clearing out and wipe downs. Take advantage of the warmer temps today.
Great seeing you and SB on friday.

Happy New Year to all my fellow F&BP pards.
I loaded up 10 of the new 10ga brass shells yesterday. I hope I found a load which will maintain the reputation of the F&BP. Loaded them with 120gns of FF and the same volume of shot. Think that makes it a square load. That maxed out the shell so adding any more would require cutting the cushion down to fit in more powder or shot. Need to pattern them to see what I got.

With sadness I must report that upon reconsidering retiring my beloved 12 guage Stevens riverside - She has been retired from active service.
After the last match I shot, I cleaned her real good and after looking at her barrels again the next day - i can definitely tell that the small areas of pitts have gotten larger over last several years ( I have owned her since 2005).
I have another long barreled smoke pole waiting on me at the gunshop but without hammers and will start looking in earnest this summer for a hammer double that will have to work hard to step up to my ole stevens place.
I am glad I shot her a few more times before having to make this decision and will endeavor to shoot well with a newer double.
V/r PR

PR seeing as WW has set the bar for us lowly thundermakers I think you should start looking for a Mighty 10.

I'll have ta wait until the Feb match in Waverly, however Big Burtha will be beltching copious amounts of smoke. I eagerly await the opportunity to test out the new loads in their shiney new brass cases. PR you are more than welcome to give her a test run. Once you do I'm sure you will be looking for a sibling for her.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thanks Will!
I will bring my redone Nate special HK-94 too - have not been able to shoot it at all!
The Fox Savage B 12 guage that I have waiting for me - needs minor stock repair and a little smoothing but internals and barrels are perfect.
Hard to believe I am picking it up for under 200.00 but I will gladly give her a new home!

Sounds like a pretty good deal
Bought a roll crimping tool last month, got a limited supply of paper hulls I need to trim. I thought I had some 3/4" conduit I could use for a jig. If I do it's buried. I go to the hardware store tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Time to try something different

I want a 10ga too!
I've been lookin' fer one for a while.
Perhaps we can all shoot one some day. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Don't forget to schedule a NIGHT BLACKPOWDER shoot at the annual Pungo Shoot next November.
A 10ga shootin' some slow-burning powder such as 1F would be fun!

Not to be out done, I will be celebrating my 29th wedding anniversary in May. Hard to believe the same woman has put up with me that long. Got to say though, the last 10 have been some of the best.
Looks like the weather may interfere with the match this weekend. I really need to get the new 10g loads tried out. I haven't been able to make smoke for almost 2 1/2 months and I think I'm getting delusional. I have a need for nose full of burnt BP.

Giving my Smoke on the Mattaponi Application and check to MM this weekend.

Yes the weather monster seems to have us in her sights but at least it ain't snow and ice! I plan on doing some more reloading and resizing brass and priming too.
I always do my repriming seperate to loading. I'll reprime about 500 cases and but them in sealed bags and then load later.
I will mail app out and reserve rooms by mid-month for the BRR.

I just finished off 300 rounds of 38spl smokey loads with Springfield Slim made big lube bullets!
I can also happily report that there is not a single empty lonely shotgun shell - they are all packed full of BP and Lead.

Burtha roared with the new loads today. The pattern is tight and at typical shotgun distances the wad/cushion appears to make a pretty big hole too. ;D Unloaded the new load at the knockdown (untacked to the ground) and managed to knock it over. ;D Move back to 21 paces and the knockdowns went over as sweet as can be. Bring on stage 6 at Roanoke. There will be no more 11 shots to knockdown 6 targets for this boy. ;D
Looking forward to the match tomorrow. Should be much Smoke, Fire, BOOOOOOOM and Stink.

I had a great time. Burtha roared and fun was had by all....I hope. Shot the star twice. Got a chance to shoot at flying birds (I actually got one) and Burtha roared. We collected a bit over $3600 for WWP. :o
Found out that Nutmegger managed to get a mighty 10 in an estate sell. Also meet a new (to us) shooter today who is a darksider and also has an original mighty 10. Getting to be a mighty popular around the old F&B posse.

I had a great time talking with Mordecai Scarlett. It turns out he is a darksider and as serious one at that. I think we will be adding another member to the F&B Posse. The boy has an original 10g and likes to shoot the cap and ball pistolas. Young fella with young kids and a job that has him traveling so we may not see him as often as we or he might like. Mentioned all the annuals to him and emphasized Roundup and the Smoke. I doubt he will make Roundup but he wants to go to Smoke.

Will that sounds great! I have found out that there should be about 3 companies that made hammered 10 guages through the 1920-30's.
Since I should have that hammerless Fox sxs in 12 guage in a couple weeks - I think i will be patient replacing my hammered 12 guage for now.
I am always up for coffee and friends! Sounds like MS is a good one - we can always use more smokey folks!
I am still down with flu - battled it sunday night through monday evening. Fever seems to be gone but drinking lots of fluid and scarfing up all the fruit and chicken noodle soup I can handle.

And the members keep electing them
-
*sigh* The problem with the voting at the TG summit was that a large number of clubs did NOT submit their votes to SASS either in proxy (like we did for Pungo and Mattaponi Sundowners) or in person. MM also submitted our votes directly to Hipshot for our proxy as well, just in case. I don't have the exact numbers, but it was upwards of 300 SASS affiliated clubs (out of 600 or so) that did not vote AT ALL.
But, on an up note, maybe this will prove to the TGs that FCGF should be a recognized catagory and get a Yea vote at this year's conference. If they (the Wild Bunch) approved the catagory at EOT, it should be a clue to the TGs (notice I said should be). I'm pretty sure this will be an agenda item again this year.
Well, gotta git ready for *spit* work......

Now everyone knows I shoot subs... I don't make a secret of that..... but I did have to remind him that I in fact DID shoot real black once and got "P" for it. That looooooooooooooooooooooong shotgun stage at VA state was probably the start of my conversion to the Dark Side because my TO (the infamous Wilcat Will) gave me two shotgun shells to get me to finish the stage.

Had a great day of making Smoke, Fire, BOOOOOOM and Stink today with my friends. Even had some pards we haven't seen in some time show up. Weather was great and we had a great time. I determined today I really need to work on my accuracy with Big Bertha. With the shot group as tight as it is, if I hit it is obvious. However, it is almost like shooting a slug. Missed the flying bird today, no big surprise there. however, when I went for the stationary one I hit it with 2, count them 2 pellets. :o I really need to get a bit more practice in with the aiming thing with her. Still all in all a great day.

I've taken an inventory and I need to do a bit of shopping and shell loading before I hit the range. Have to rustle up some of that beautiful black smokey stuff as well.
I'd still like to gather up wt ya'll around something cold, wet, and flamible if we can get PR and myself to be around at the same time.
WW; I like how you shoot. If you don't hit it; you'll scare it into submission! It drops either way!
Ya'll have a great week up North.

Just want to let ya'll know that Sod Buster and myself managed to kill a target today. Mine got me so exited I miss the big target sitting next to it. SB was confused because it was a slow kill. It started leaning with the rifle shots and it fell while he was moving to start the pistol string. It wer a kill and that means we are starting the annual shooting season with a kill.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
What he said.... :)

Fully concur with SB, 'cept I'm partial to the Remington NMA.
The only time my wife ever shot a gun was when I taught her on my .45 single shot front stuffer pistol, and then my 8" Rem NMA .44 after that. She liked the Rem so much I finished out the session shooting the .45 single shot! Done messed up and lost my smoke wagon to her! (and life is good!). Darn the bad luck; I "needed" to buy a few more Rems, (and life is even better!).
Concrats to SB and WW!
Ya'll have fun today. I think I can Bertha talk'n from here!

Bertha and my shoulder took a rest this weekend. She will be back for the Waverly April shoot in prep for roaring at BRR.
We 13 had a GREAT time today to Waverly. Weather could not have been better. We had to cancel the long range shooting due to a small lake forming in way of getting to the 300 yard berm so we shot 6 stages. All I gotta say is "Dang Snakes, I hate em and enough is enough!!!!!!!"
YEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

DANG.........................
Snakes, I do not like Snakes, I will not eat them in a house, I will not eat them with a mouse, I will not eat them on a boat i will not eat them with a goat...
What a fun shoot!
And the icing on my cake, among also shooting with that lucky 13 cowboys and gals - I shot another no miss match!
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, YEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I might just go with them 44's - i already have a set of OT's in 38 and a set of conversions, and another set of conversions being made... - I am probably set with 38's......

I have one of the rugged gear gun carts as ya'll probably know. I noticed a rip in the material up near the handle where it connects to the handle. I emailed Rugged Gear and sent the picture and after a couple of emails providing me with options, they are sending me a new body to replace the damaged one. The first couple of emails concerned me a little but it has only been a couple of days and the body I am told will be shipped tomorrow. Got to give them their kudos. Good product and a good response to my concerns. I'll let you know when the body arrives. .
I would give this company a YEEEEEE HAAAAAA <it will be a bigger one when I get the new body>

Greetings Pards,
I will miss this weekend as well. That nasty j.o.b. has had me scoot'n 3 of the past four weekends, and this coming weekend is no exception.
I've done a round and powder count. I am up for cartridges and paper bullets for 6 stages. Still need to reload shotgun shells. Maybe some even'n this week or early next. I'll have to see if I'm still in the state first, and if the youngsters will go to bed 1/2 reasonably.
PR, good luck shopping fer a new buckboard this weekend.
Ya'll keep yer powder dry and yer whiskey wet. See you in a week or so.
Mord
-
Well back to buck board shopping later today - the weather while nasty is helping us get to look without being hassled.
Katie had a mixed bag horseshow wise - the green pony she is helping train just was not being a very good teammate yesterday.
My Sarah got to bake unleven bread during her first communion retreat she had a ball!
Me - well i did get to reload my shotgun shells (that reminds me needs to use the gluegun on them still) and another 100 ruskie rounds!
The Command Center at my job has been very helpful for my reloading endeavors since they get those all plastic sealing coffee jugs - when they are emptied they become great sorting bins for seperating the shells that are cleaned but not deprimed from the cleaned, sized and deprimed shells. Even use a few formy loaded ammo!
Stay dry and warm!

A follow up to my Rugged Gear gun cart. I just got a completely new set to mount onto my frame. Not just the piece that was damaged, but all the parts with the exception of the frame. I'm very impressed. Just thought ya'll should know.

Since we either load by sight or dippers it is very simple.
Some folks with engineering minds want to know more about the exact science behind it - I guess...
I know i like the sound of it going off and the flame and smoke!
One of the stages I shot the smoke had encircled me the RO and spotters. I turned around at end and breathed out and i moved a big plume of smoke - almost looked like i had ingested the BP smoke and blew it out. It looked cool:)!
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I am shooting again Sunday!
PR
-
PR, Congrats on the Target Kill! Yee Haaawww!!!
I agree on the Loading BP thread....just filler 'er up, dust off the excess and compress by crimping the boolet on top.
What could be so simple. I don't have to worry about double-charging or under-charging.....things like that keep the heathen-power shooters busy. We don't have to/need to worry about such foolish thinkin'. ;D

PR how often do you go up by Winchester? I ask because I wonder if I shouldn't get two cases of BP this run. I know Mort was saying he was going to need powder once he got setup for reloading. Let me know before Friday.
-
Often enough that i can do it usually within a 6 week period.
I was wondering about just getting a case of diamond back for shotgun loads to split amongst our smokey friends but would be amenable to getting another 5-8 lbs off of another case of Scheutzen too.
I have reloaded alot more than usual during the post winter thaw and down to like 7 lbs of powder 3 of which is 3f.

I think the next priority is loading stuff - UGH! At least he'll let me help by loading shotshells for him.
Smoke 'em up!!!!
-
Major Belch arrived today!
He needs a little TLC from my favorite gunsmith before he can enter battle!:) I don't think I will give him his initial bath of fire at SOM.
One hammer is sticky and the stock has a crack that I will want mended before shooting - but right now based on what I can tell this bad boy will stay a mighty 10 gauge hammer gun!
There is some pitting in the bore but it all appears very minor and the barrel is definetly fluid steel or early nickle steel and not damascus.

Just got back from WV and have the BP. The owner is a really nice guy. He come over from the NSSA match he was at dressed in his uniform. He told me we just missed seeing the mortar competition. I have the powder for those who requested. I took 20lb which leaves 30lb to distribute. As I understand MM wanted 10lb, PR wanted 10lb and LIT wanted 3-5lb. That will leave a few lb left. I will bring it to the Waverly match next Sat and those who are there can get it then. If MM doesn't mind, I will leave the rest with him and he can offer the 5-8lb to those at SOM. See ya'll next weekend.

Howdy Gents,
How ya'll been? I'm back from a trip to Germany. Darn j.o.b. (jist over broke) has got me wondering jist what time zone I'm in. Still ain't fully recovered from the trip. Sorry to have missed the shoot last weekend. Looked like it was a good one!
Shot a full match of true-blue Goex black powder last month, complete with caps burning my hands and pistols jamming up. And to think we fought wars and started to tame the West with these things. I got a few of the quirps straightened out by the end of the shoot. Would like to test it all out again.
So what are the requirements to get a Pungo Posse badge and membership to the Fire-n-Brimstone Posse?
I hope to make SOM, but not sure yet if I will be shoot'n or jist watch'n. Darn j.o.b. has me scoot'n and jump'n all this week (literally; airborne ops on Thursday...AH YUT!). Don't know if I'll have enough rounds prepared in time. Might jist go to see if there are any other Frontier Style cap-n-ball shooters in the state. We'll have to see what happens.
Mordecai

Mordecai - hope to finally meet you at SOM and welcome home.
You are now officially a member of the Fire and Brimstone Posse. i will see if anyone else shooting at SOM wants to be a member or is awaiting their plastic badge and will order some.
Membership requirements: shoot BP or substitutes, shoot in VA, and have fun!
MM or TT can give you the info for the Pungo Posse badge.

Don't think we got any PP badges on hand. If we can get 'nuff folks for an order..........
-
I'm pretty sure we have an extra badge or two when MM did the last order... in fact, we do. They're $70.00a piece.
What kinda ammo would you need for the match? MM said we may be able to help you out if he knew what ya needed.....LMK. Would be nice ta have ya there to help us protect the sheep (spit).
I'm pretty sure we have two or three other guys shooting Frontiersman. Turnin' Fool usually shoots it but he's had some problems with his right thumb so he's shooting FC.
-
Just a note to our Fire and Brimstone bretheren, MM hasn't been on here a whole lot lately. He's been very, very busy with a lot of loadin block orders, the ROII course and the Smoke match. Hopefully after the match, he'll have a little more time and we'll all get to see him back here.
See y'all at the match!!

To All My Good Friends Back East,
MM and TT, and all, thanks again for a absolutely GREAT match. It was good to see all the smile'n faces I don't get to see very often. Good stages, and for the life of me, somebody must have done a mighty fine "NO-Rain" dance just before the match, clouds in the sky but, the day turned out great with that sunshine breaking thru about mid-day. Ya'll have done a lot a fine work with the rainge, breaking into the three bays worked out great too. Did miss a few folks I'd hope to see but, will hope to see them later. I wish we could have shot and smoked up the hollow some more. By the way, those were some fine eats after the match too, plenty and good. I really appreciate the sheath knife I won on the ticket drawing, it is a fine blade and will keep it in remembering a fun day of shooting.
Thanks again and hope to shoot with all you fine folks soon, Brizco-Z

BZ - it was a pleasure to shoot with you and many other pards from north south and west of tidewater va.
Watching you shoot them C&Bs makes me want to try that way yet again - I may just have to get a pair of rogers and psencers that I have been eyeing for years and try that C&B game again.
Heck if'n I can't shoot one handed i can still shoot C&B guns and just shoot in FC category anyway:)!

Never mind answerin' a question, WM. Afraid I ain't gonna be much help tho. Last cast I loaded inta 9s were 150 grain round nosed bullets from a Lee mold. The bullet mold was marketed for 38 Supers but it doesn't show in Lee's offerin' of molds these days.

Doesn't look like too bad of an outfit to wear to a summer shoot..... but corsets are definitely OUT! I don't know how wimmen folk wear them binding pieces of torture!! I don't know if I could intentionally put on a pair of torn stockings either, too much military still in me, I guess. Well, that's one way to win a match, BLIND all the competitors!!! ;D

Damn, Jail Bait. Reminds me of Forgery. Button down collars on starched white shirts, tie just so. Cross pen ya didn't use in the pocket 'n nothin' else. Badge on the belt. Neatly creased slacks with nothing in the pockets but a few bucks foldin' money 'n a business card fold, license 'n ID on one side, business cards in the other. A white handkerchief, monogrammed were tacky, for emergencies. Pack of cigarettes with a pad of matches in the wrapper tucked in the right sock.........

MM broke out Big Bertha, gets style points for killing shotgun targets. ;D
-
MM congrats on the kill shots. After conversations today I've decided not to trim Big Bertha down a few inches. She will stay her proud 32" for full chokes installed. I'll just have to take the jabs when I miss my shotgun targets.
-
32" you should be able to stab the targets
-
Yep, shotgun targets were flyin' and flippin' 'round like fish outta water.... since he calles his "Bouncin' Betty," I think it's rather appropriate......
He had to SDQ hisself on the first stage 'cause his ammo was illegal per Pungo Posse rules. In true gamer fashion, he had three board members agree to change the amount of shot allowable per shotshell before stage 2 so he and Betty could continue the match together. ::)
Stage six, since he was the last shooter, he had the shotgun targets moved back another six feet and still had them targets dancin' round like Chubby Checker doin' the Peppermint Twist. (Arcey, I only HEERED about that era in music and dance.... I'm still JB!!!)
I think I've been replaced as his sidekick by Betty...... :'(

Nothing can replace the mighty TT!
I am hoping to have Major Belch roaring by July - Lincoln County is giving him some TLC at the shop.

If there are no VA F&B takers I will put them up for everyone on the wire for 140.00 plus shipping.

What a whirl wind the past four months have been. Let's just say I've gone from "tin foil" to "Silver" status with the airlines in short order. I guess the honeymoon at the j.o.b. is over.
I'm taking some Leave this week, and trying to get a up with the gunsmith ya'll talk about. Unfortunately my foggy brain can't remember his location on the 460. If anybody has an address or a phone number I am much abliged for it.

Ya'll have a great week, and I'll see ya again when I see ya.

MS They are closed on mondays.
Nate just finished a pair of conversions for me and making another pair of OTs right.
We even took down my 73 together so I could play and clean with the internals and not mess anything up.
Nate is a top notch guy and great gunsmith.
He used to shoot with many of us but uses most of his saturdays to get gun work done and let his SASS account lapse.
I have been thinking about suprising him with a present for all his hard work getting guns rebuilt, smoothed or made right by reupping his SASS account. I believe his number and name are still good to go.
Hey since I mentioned it now...anyone else on F&B Posse want to do that with me?

Sage wisdom Arcey, especially with a traveling j.o.b. and little ones.
I did make it to see Nate on Tuesday. What an experience! Nate is a good and genuine person, and what an education it is just to listen to him and chat. He now has my 1906 (ish) Stevens-Maynard Jr. .22LR and will be bringing it back to life for me. I told him I bought it with the intention of bringing it to life so my son and daughter will not only learn to shoot, but do so with a piece of history. Nate simply said "I get it" and smiled. I also brought a few other pieces for him to look at, and he had recommendations for each. We also talked about how to get my Mighty 10 gauge back into play. I had a lot of trouble with it not wanting to eject the shells during the match (4 mos ago) and had to switch to my Stoger SXS 12 gauge. I have to run back out there again on Saturday.
Nate mentioned the work he's done for ya'll. He really enjoys his work, ya'll, and he is a shooter of the Holy Soot! Per your idea PR; I'm count me in as well.
I won't make it this coming weekend, but I'll read about it in the Marshall's postings.
Speaking of lil munchkins, it will be time soon for teeth brushing and to read bedtime stories. I'd best go round up the stuffed bunnies and find the binkies.

I went and saw a couple of people I knew from Cowboy Shooting. There were some cool looking toys and then there was stuff that I was puzzled as to why it was at a gun show. Grill equipment???? ???
I saw a Cobra .38sp derringer and it was only $165 in one of the last booths I walked past, I was going to buy it but the guy had at least 7 State forms stacked up and was having computer issues. He was telling folks to fill out a form show him what you wanted to buy and leave your DL and stuff and he would call your cell when it was ready. Decided it wasn't worth the time and the hassle, there will be another one down the line. Either that or I will throw the money in the pot to save up for one of the Open Tops I want to get.
-
I spent about 3hrs there yesterday morning. By 0920 the line was already looping around to get in. Tempted to go back this afternoon and see if a little .22LR/Mag NAA revolving derringer is still there. Was also eyeing a double rig of 1875 Outlaws in .45LC. Mighty tempting.
Ya'll stay cool and avoid the heat; it's going to be another scorcher today.
WW, did you get your a/c fixed?
Mord
-
Yep. It was a new install and they must have rushed. When I went up there were several leaks of cold air into the attic. They came out and fixed those and adjusted the flow to get more into the lower level where we spend 99% of our time. Much better. Made it over around 1230 but only stayed at the show for about hour and half. The only thing that looked interesting to me was the revolving rifle which shot 45LC and 410. Neat but not very practical. Very little cowboy stuff and didn't see any open tops.

Sorry I missed you but my Cox email was acting up and the message with your phone # didn't come through until yesterday afternoon.

Pards - Nate or LCR to us is selling his 1860 C&B guns
44 Cal Pietta 1860's with full length barrels - completely smooth and action job'd
Set-up to load with balls and conicals.
With an extra cylinder each (oh btw all 4 cylinders will work in both guns).
Only 400.00!
IM/PM or email me if interested.
These guns are so smooth it is hard to believe they are C&B guns. Nate knows they are used and would love them to go to someone who will use them.
He also is interested in partila trade for an italian clone 1873 pistol - preferably stock or with very little work done.
PR

How soon does he need to sell them PR?
I can give him half down now and the rest in about a month!

Keep your fingers crossed tomorrow - The Major is gets test fired tomorrow am.

If I shoot saturday I don't know if I will be able to pick up the Major.
When you have shot at TenZ and Ms Annie's when are you usually done?
I think the shop is open until 530pm and i think if they know I am coming they will wait a little bit for me...

I haven't shot there in awhile PR, but as I recall we usually finished around 3:00 - 3:30 PM

As of right now (8:12pm Thursday), the weather forecast for this weekend is:
Saturday @ LR: 30% chance of isolated Thunderstorms.
Sunday (Waverly, VA) 60% chance of sctattered strong to severe thunderstorms.
Sunday (Thurmond, MD) 60% chance of scattered strong thunderstorms.
Looks Like Saturday might be the best day to shoot.

LIT sent you a pm.
I left message with Nate last night but will get back with him this am to make sure the C&B's come to the shop with him (they may be there already - but I am not sure).
PR
-
Went by and picked them up, and the actions work better than my Rugers, it's hard to believe they are cap & ball guns. He also gave me two holsters for the 60's a two cavity conical mould and a box with about 50 cast and lubed conicals. One heck of a deal, especially when I only expected to get the guns and the extra cylinders.
When I got home I tried thenm out in the holsters Mitch made for my 58's and the 60's fit them perfectly.
I plan to shoot them at the next match I get to.
-
I watched Nate at the Md. State blackpowder match shoot rifle targets with them. They are a great set of pistols. I'm sure you will enjoy them
-
I think if I get Nate to slick up my 58 Remmies I will have the perfect Josie Wales setup.
-
Major Belch followed me home - pics to follow.
Nate also finished another pair of pistolas he had for some time.
I have OT and conversion disease.
2 sets 44spl/colt/russian OT's (one pair antiqued & one pair CCH - 5-1/2 inch).
2 sets of 51 38spl conversions (one pair gated left full length & one pair with older back plate conversions - cut to 5 inch)
1 set 38 spl OT's (CCH 5-1/2 inch).
Thankfully i trade for most of them or parts...
PR
-
one pair antiqued.....................
Nate left 'em out in the rain?
-
Actually our pard Frio made them for hiss but then decided he was not going to shoot 44 russian.
They are very nicely antiqued and smoothed before Nate ever touched them.
Frio did tell me that he probably won't antique another pair except maybe for hisself - evidently to do it right is a ton of work!
Hoping to shoot with ya'll soon!
PR
-
When you do I will most likely be shooting the 60's. Plan to go ahead and cast up some more conicals and go get some more caps.
-
Calling the RMC dude today and see if I can get the brass to come in.
I think with my 12 guage tools I can probably load the 10 guage shells.
Also calling the guys at Rugged gear and ordering a USCG styled rugged gear cart! They were willing to work with me on the fabric and only charging 40.00 extra for the work - I think thats pretty good deal!
Won't be ready for the state shoot but shortly thereafter!
Not sure if I will shoot Sunday but hoping I can - may even have my Sarah (Cowgirl name still TBD) with me to watch.

Thanks but the issue is not with TD....it is with Rocky Mtn Cartridge.
I am OK with TD & Star City....been confirmed for over a month.

Right my mistake.
I have emailed RMC as well too.
When I talked with him he said they had plenty of brass made up so now I am just trying to get the brass in so I can load it up.
I am pretty sure I can load it up with the hand tools I have now - just be easier to do with the 10 gauge tools.
PR
-
I would think Nate could build you reloading kits..Or a gunsmith with a Lathe and Drill press. Resizing your brass and or paper/plastic hulls would be the key. Punching the spent primers and setting new ones wouldn't be too big of hassel. You should be able to rig up some devise to do that with.. I mean your all Southern Gentleman(Didn't want say RedNecks) and as long as there is Duct tape< I don't beleive it is in short supply... You should be able to fix a little problem like loading Shotshells.

I finally heard back from RMC but the news is not good:
Sorry for the delay on response. I had a short stay in the hospital and am recovering from injuries so I am not at work full time at this point.
I do make 10 ga. cases. I do not stock these items, everything is made to order. The Cases are priced at $78.00/box of 10 for the 2 7/8 cases. The loading kit is currently $80.00.

Sodbuster - MM was willing to share a box of shells with me at Mattaponi match.
Between that box and MM and WW both bringing shells and 10 gauges - bring yours on - I will share.
The guy at RMC had said he had some 10 gauge shells in stock - 2 5-8 inch for my old remmie. I will call today and see if that is still true and get them shipped to me now - if they are in stock I am getting 30.
Major Belch roared a the match sunday for two stages - all spotters moved back a few paces second time I let him rip.
Thanks again MM for sharing that box of shells.
I also tried out my new 5 inch conversions and like all of LCR's work they shot sweet and rang true!
PR
-
PR,
Thanks for the offer for the shells. I just might take you all up on it.
I haven't had a chance to even shoot it yet and wanted to see if it would even work! Perhaps if I make it to West Point this Saturday one of you could spare a coule shells so I could test it.
If you get in touch with the guy at RMC, I wish he would answer my email. I want to place an order.
One of these days I need to stop by and see LCR. I have never been to his shop. I could use some work done on one of my Richard-Masons.
-
Has anyone heard anything recently from RMC about the reloading kits? I know he was out for awhile with an injury but this seems a bit much.
SB I'll bring my two boxes of 10g to Star City and doubt I will try shootin' Bertha both days. Not particularly worried about them shells sizing to a chamber as they are really thick brass. I'll also have the mule-eared 12 to play with.
-
I sent the guy at RMC an email and he has not returned a reply just yet :(
While the guy at Rugged Gear was very helpful and has my new cart going quicker than expected - don't think it will get here soon enough for Bend of Trail though.
Due to Hurricane I will not be at the shoots - got work to done in the Port...

more aftershocks this morning and trentual rains this afternoon with more on the way...I think the God's of the Darkside is angry

Got an email from RMC guy. He tells me he has broken ribs and collarbone and he is not sure when he will be able to start working again. I can manage loading the way I have been but hope he get better and can start making the 10 ga stuff. Thinking about getting a few more shotshells.
LR I'm thinking the fact we have not had a good smokey match recently has angered the good Lord.
Hey we get it, we get it. You can stop so we can get out and provide you some of the good smoke (not to be confused with the stuff from the swamp).

Ya'll down there in the dismal don't need to worry about a little smoke
I see the Yellow flags have been waved at both Pungo and Pepper Mill this weekend..Has RIR cancelled the race yet?
Ya'll be safe down in Tidewater area

For all my Tidewater pards and pardettes.
If you do not leave today please be prepped to bunker in place through sunday afternoon.
I know that WW, MM, LR and others have my cell phone info. Please reach out to them if you get stuck somewhere - however we might not be able to come get ya until sunday.
Biggest thing I think is be prepped to be powerless other than you own generator power potentially after saturday afternoon/night for awhile...

To the Fire,
For all my friends back East, seen quite a few comments from those in the know, ya'll take to shelter and hunker down, sounds like a good'n, coming ya'lls way. If'n ya ain't headed inland yet, you just might have to ride it out so, find a good place and hold on, hopefully it will fizzle out once it hits land good and hopeful any damage is a minimum. Main thing is, take care of you, your family and friends!
Ya'll be careful, ya hear!

SO far its been somewhere between Isabel and a Nor'easter. There are areas without power and Dominion was doing a pretty fair job of staying on top of it during the early going but there are more and more areas going out as the storm passes close. I am hunkered down with the family as PR said, waiting for the aftermath to see if I will need to go in and start helping with the recovery part.

Has any one heard from Missouri or Trina or Ms Annie? I understand lot folks without power in the Richmond area

Power is out like a bad boy through the southside and peninsula.
We fared very well in this storm. Almost amazingly so
Lots of work still to do in the port but I will be able to go to State shoot still this coming weekend.

We DID have the loudest posse....bar none! Regardless, we had several people tell us that our posse had the most fun out there and they would have liked to have shot with us.
You'll have to ask MM to tell ya about our great adventure getting to the range and why he's been dubbed the "Wagon Master." I have ta say, cowboys are the best. Pouring down rain, thunder and lightning all around and Mad Dod Irv, Bob Ed Pain, Beerslinger, Row-a-Noc and Cody Conagher helping us out of a mess.

My good pard PR, we must give high tolerance of those that shoot that horrid smoke-i-less (Non-Smokey) stuff, they are not aware, they do not hear within their cold hearts, the calling of the Dark Side.
"Teach up a child in the way that they should go and when they are older, they will not depart from it".

On other awesome news updates - I made two purchases final.

2. 1866 short rifle in 44 special undergoing a slight conversion for 44 Russian ammo with LCR.
Doubt I will have either for shoot this weekend but should have the lever shotgun for the Christmas Mattaponi shoot!
Cardinal Wind, my 8 yr old, will be coming with me to the Mattaponi shoot - she is very shy but she really liked watching the sunday day of the Pungo two day shoot and then having a meal with everyone.
Hope to shoot with a bunch of you on saturday!

Where did you find the Winchester? I have all brass shells for my Winchester Lever 10ga, but had to go to RMC to order them. They were a pretty penny (or two), but are worth it.
I was given an option to purchase an 1882 Spencer 12 gauge. The first pump shot model. Hopefully it will all go through.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I've been in and out, and when I'm "in", I'm home trying to catch up with the family and other such requirements.

I've just acquired a rifle which was in the family of a coworker since his great-granddad. It is a smooth bore percussion, converted from a flintlock. The exterior metal looks incredible and the wood is in pretty good shape. Only has a couple of markings on the metal and that is N.Haven, government proof mark of a P in a oval and SNY next to it. There are a couple of stamps in the stock. It was used for awhile by a reenactor(sp?). It has the three sided bayonet and the loading rod. Gonna take it to LCR and see what he can tell me about the possibility of shooting it with non-Will loads and what it might be worth. I got it for $200.

GOD, grant me the serenity to accept the things
I cannot change, Courage to change the
things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living ONE DAY AT A TIME; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen

Spent this afternoon looking over the RVs and the Marlin. I've not done anything other than range cleaning on any of them for two years. :o I started to open the first RV and the frame screws were in tight so decided to remove the grips and spray the heck out of both of them from the trigger, the pawl and the gate hinge. Then I took off the doohicky that punches out the empty cases and cleaned the housing and spring. Then put them back together. The Balistol dripped out clean. Imagine that!! ;D
I then took the Marlin down and it was a little grungier. It had some soft residue. Looked a lot like soft black grease. Sprayed it down good and put LockTight on the screws and it is good to go for another couple of years. ::)

Big mistake this morning. Went out to EMF and was looking at the 1860 Sheriff. Purrrrrdy. A pair with the Kirst conversions would run about $1200. Not sure I could convince the wife it was a necessary purchase. They shur do look purdy though and the force is strong.
::) Maybe without the conversion.......huuuuummmmm :o oh my the force is very strong.
-
And Nate can make them run great. Less work with the 44 C&B's since the barrels do not need any sleevingto shoot 45's like the 36's do if you want to shoot 38spl.
He might ask you why you bought new C&B's to convert vice looking for a nicely used pair...since he and I have had that conversation twice!!!
I am already salivating at possible conversion of the Rogers Spencer...and that would be BP 45lc load!

Ok. I've seen too many folks have problems with the Walker loading arm come loose from the barrel when shooting. I'm sure they can be fixed but to be honest I prefer the look of the 1060 Army better.
I have permission from the CFO for the purchase. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D However I was looking at the Kirst converters at EMF and they are only 5 shot. Clearly that will not do. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( I'm sure I can get the six shot we need for our purposes but where would ya'll suggest? Also is there anything else I need to get other than the cylinders to convert over to cartridge? ??? ??? ??? ???
LIT I would indeed like to try them out before I invest.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
-
R&D makes converters too. The Kirst 5 shot converters are SASS approved because there is a rest spot for the hammer that acts as the "empty chamber".
Sometimes the converters go right in - sometimes the timing needs to be tweaked.
What I would do is put them together and unless they feel real good from get go - take the converters and pistolas to Nate and ask him to time them up and smooth them.
I have 2 cases of DB BP 2F powder from Back Creek in Winchester and some extra supplies for me from Taylors.
I had to work hard to behave in that store - boy could i have put some hurting on any or all of my accounts in that store!

PR Glad to hear you made it back safe and sound. Let's talk next Sat about pistolas. I'm giving some real thought to not converting them and shooting cap and ball. The price of getting enough cylinders to load at the beginning of the day is too much. Might get a couple of spares but that would be like getting a couple of conversions. Not sure which way to go. Hoping LIT will make it to the match Saturday so I can try out a couple to see how they feel shooting as a gunfighter. If I go C&B may have to consider some new leather to go along with them. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Amazing how it just starts adding up.
-
PR thanks for mentioning Taylor's.
Posse I need a question answered as soon as possible. What is the advantage of fluted vs unfluted for the cylinders?
Taylor has both as a good price and the R&D Conversions are not a bad price either.
Thanks in advance.

I am actually having the same thought WW.
I may just have to shoot a pair of Rogers and Spencers without converting them...
I also handled multiple pistolas for Sarah, double barreled hammer guns, lever guns for daddy.
I got me a new flask and spouts and cleaning kit for the Rogers and Spencer.
I will probably still shoot two handed so I will stay in FC but shoot C&Bs instead...
Wahoooooooooooooo
I love them guns...

Posse I need a question answered as soon as possible. What is the advantage of fluted vs unfluted for the cylinders?
I am not aware of any advantage to the fluted cylinders. It is just another style - that was not that commonly available at the time. It is just a style that was not produced in numbers as large as the unfluted.
Maybe someone else has a different opinion...
--Sod Buster
p.s. I got three 1860 Armys (all unfired - recently purchased). Hoping to make it on Saturday.....

Like Sod Buster said.
I have seen the fluted cylinder models offered I think VTI had some extra ones at one time. It wouldn't surprise me to find out it's in tha same catagory as the .44 cal 51 Navy. Good Luck I need to shoot something smoky and stinky

I may just go ahead an order another R&S soon...luckily the pair of naval holsters i has made for my french 1873 St Etienne revolvers will work for the R&S pistolas.

That would be great to try out another OT. ;D So many choices and so little time/money. ::)
Talked to Saltwater John today and tried out his 1860 Army Sheriffs. Gonna take a little getting use to. I think I like the Army grip better than the Navy. Seems to fit my hand better.
He was telling me Uberti would be better for C&B than the Pietta. Any thoughts on that?

Years ago Uberti quality was better than Pietta. However, I wouldn't shy away from them now. My two conversion sets are both Pietta's.
My R&S pistolas are Euroarms.

I agree that the Army grip would work better for you since you have larger hands.
I think you held both PR's Navy-grip OT and my Army-grip RM's either at Star City or the Range War and you liked the Army better.
I agree with PR that at one time Uberti was better than Pietta but Pietta has gotten better (per reports of users here on Cas City).
I am still sticking with Uberti since that is what I have.

I don't know which the Piettas and the Euroarms recommend.

I see you got a recommendation of .457 from some users here. That should answer your question.

What are you guys using for lube when loading the cylinders? ???
-
I only use a prelubed wonder wad.
The 60's that nate sold to Tom were set up for either conicals or balls and when Nate used conicals he pan lubed the conicals to where they carried their own lube.
I also know folks who use various lube mixes to seal chamber but i figured the wonder wad does that under the bullet anyway.
-
I'm with pistolas ;D ;D ;D ;D They arrived this morning. I'll bring them along to the match. I have some #11 caps but no lead. The book recommends .454 for the balls. Also they call for FFF and I only carry FF. That shouldn't be a problem should it?
I'm with pistolas ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ordered wonder wads and .454 balls for the pistolas. I also orders .760 balls for the original Whitney percussion musket. Nate feels it is safe to shoot and that means it must be shot. As best can be determined it is a 1812 model1 flintlock that was converted to percussion in the 1840's or 50's.
Saturday's gonna be fun!!!!!!!!!

SWEET!
I have 454's, german caps and 44 sized wonder wads
I will bring them with me even if I don't have time to wipe down my R&S pistolas for firing.
I have a flask but wow the slider piece is pretty stiff...
Will I will bring you a can of 3f to try vs the 2f - i think with 44's 2f should be fine!

I shoot ffg in mine, I just looked in the flask and that's what was in it. I also just straight crisco over the balls. I have tried other stuff including the wads but crisco was the best for me.
I did some horse trading today and came home with something dark that goes bang. It is a sickness

PR I wiped down the outside of the new pistolas. as they were a bit oily. I guess I should run a patch through the barrels and the cylinders. One of the wedges is difficult to get back in and the barrel is a really tight but does go on and off with a bit of effort (same pistola).
I would like to run a stage with them. I think if everyone thinks FF is good I'll bring some along with my powder measure and a can of Goex.

Evil and Black yes, the operator would probably need a nap and not make it all day. I suppose it could shoot the Holiest of Powders if one wanted it too.
WW I think you will find the wedge will get easier to use, after a little use. A fine stone to the edges(remove any burrs) wouldn't hurt it. But you don't want to remove too much metal.

LR sounds nice!
WW - I'll bring the 3f anyway - if you want to try some thats fine - i barely use 3F anymore for anything.
I won't be shooting that much tomorrow :-[ - daughter has been selected for an award this saturday ;D - so I can come in the am but need to hit road no later than noon to be do my Daddy Pony Pulling support duties.

How did WW like the 24-25 grains of powder? If it wasn't enough for him he could go with a larger spout. I noticed a video that Bottom Dealing Mike posted here where he used a 30gr spout on his 44cal 1851 Navies. I may try something larger myself.

Hey do you take your nipples off everytime? you shoot the C&B's?

Irish Whiskey all around! ;D Happy Birthday Tom

I don't need any .451 balls. I have them because the Uberti manual for my 1858 Remmies recommended that size. They were wrong! The .454 balls give me the proper lead ring - both on the Remmies & the 1860 Armys. I think I have enough .454 balls but may order more since you indicated they were on sale. You can never have enough lead...or caps! ;D
No, I didn't use to take the nipples off every time I cleaned the cylinders. I asked Potter what he did. He told me he just loosens them and squirts some gun oil in there to keep the threads from sticking & retigntens (but not too tight).. I was cleaning them & noticed that I was having trouble getting all of the burned powder out so I am wondering what the best way to clean is. It has been so long since I used C&B.
Here is Captain Baylor states in his "Frontiersman For Dummies" posting:
Clean the nipple area with the toothbrush. Personally, I never remove the nipples. Instead I clean the outside of the nipples with the toothbrush, then turn them 180° with a nipple wrench and repeat, then re-tighten. Dry it. Toothbrush fouling off the frame after dousing with Windex. Clean and lube the base pin with lubricant of choice. Run a Bore Snake through the bore (Windex on front end, lubricant on back end). Lube with lubricant of choice. Reassemble.
Keep in mind this is written for the Ruger Old Army gun - which is stainless so you can ignore his comment about lubing. Lube just like you do with your Open Tops.
-
SB I had a good time with the new pistolas. I think for now the 25 gns will work. I'm looking for a flask and may see if I can get both a 25 and a 30 spout.
I found another box of .454 balls in my box o gun stuff. Thought I had a funnel but couldn't put my hands on it. I had it for the 50 cal rifle. I was looking around for the Ampco nipples and Track of the Wolf has them and two sets would run around $80 shipped. I checks the Possibles Shop, EMF, Dixie and Buffalo Arms and Track of the Wolf seemed to have the best price.
Had a lot of fun. I found I need to get a nipple wrench as the needle nose just took too long. The wrench I have works great on the rifle but won't fit the pistolas.
I also found that the electric air pump I have for the RV tires has a needle for filling balls. I used it to air dry the nipples and cylinders after the warm soapy bath I gave them.

PR:
Read all of this thread:
http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php/topic,37230.0.html
I think the best approach is to loosen them/re-tighten them but only remove them once a year.
-
Thanks SB - all that info was inline with what I did last night other than loosening the nipples - i will loosen tonight and tooth brush them and then retighten - the only issue I ham having is one of my R&S cylinder pins was a bit sticky so that one I had to clean on the frame.
I downloaded the manual and think i figured what i need to do.
The other pistol I did the half turn of screw that holds rammer and pin assembly and everything came apart as advertised.
I think I am going to go ahead and order the balls, a nipple pick, a few more wads and another flask.
Right now I am going to stay with the euroarms nipples - the caps took to them well and they seem a bit different than the ones on the piettas and ubertis that I have dealt with in the past.
WW - I have three nipple wrenches - if you need one before yours comes in this week I can pop over tomorrow/tuesday afternoon/evening.
The other cool thing is that I have a rig that is set for these pistols due to making a rig for my french 1873s...the big frame of the french pistols have the holsters ready to accept the R&S pistols easy!

From Hawg at the Firearms Forum
Take a 3/16 socket. Cut a slot across the middle and file to fit. Best nipple wrench ever and cheap to boot.
Use a quarter inch drive now you can use a breaker bar or a rachet. A dremel with a cut off blade or two should make short order of this project.
(I think once a years enough also)
Remember your measuring spouts are a by volume measurement. Once you place your finger over the end you may loose a few grains in measurement. This may vary from user to user with the same measuring spout.
I don't think my powder flask holds enough for a complete match and should look for another one. In-line cappers I have bought several. They don't work! I have modified two that work sometimes. Most of the times they drop half to all the caps in them when you cap the first nipple. I don't know that any of the snail cappers are better, maybe Flatboat or Potter or one of the others can ring in on that. Don't waste your $$$ on the In-lines.

Flatboat has given up C&B for now. Potter was shooting the same posse as me on Saturday. He got all his gear from Flatboat. Potter was using the Ted Cash snail capper. I noticed that BDM was doing the same in his video on the 44cal Navy C&B. I ordered one to try but as still able to put them on with my fingers. I know that is frowned upon but I am careful and use the antler "pusher" that you made for me.
I am gonna try my "Speed Loaders" at the next match to see how well they work. That'st he slow part....measuring/pouring the powder. Potter had his individually measured. I am looking into something similar.
-
I have had good luck with my "Ted Cash" inline ones, my cheap one with a plastic thing like spring does not do that good of a job.
The R&S pistolas make it easy though - very roomy where to put cap on...
So happy with pistols...they are one of the more expensive C&Bs so excited they are working out so well!

I ordered up and received a bunch of stuff from TOW. I now have 500 .454 balls, 500 wonder wads and 25 .760 balls for the musket. I went back out yesterday and ordered a snail capper, nibble wrench and 14 new steel Ampco nipples. I figure having a couple of spares never hurts. I've been out to the possibles shop a couple of times and cannot seem to have a hard time finding my way around. I really want to get a powder flask with a 25 and a 30 grain spout. PR I really wasn't all that crazy about the type you had as the Feb match and would really rather get a flask looking one. Some of the ones I've seen are reallly a bit expensive. Think I also want to get a couple of spare cylinders for each gun. I figure that way I can shoot three stages, load them back during lunch and then be ready to finish the match. I really found that a bucket with warm soapy water really cleans them out. If I find I abel to soot March (should be able to) I would like to shoot C&Bs
-
WW - I have two cylinders and one flask. I went ahead and got two 25 grain spouts to make sure they all spit out same amount of powder.
You can have my 30 grain spout that my flask came with.
The ted cash cylinder and the flask I got from possibles shop are much easier to use with the spings. I plan on taking other cylinder (the one I used at Sussex) to Nate and see if he can make it's operation a bit easier.
I got a good wrench too and picked up about same amount of balls and wads.
I have thought about the snail capper but will see how you like it before i buy more cappers.
It took a little getting used to with the Possibles shop website - not the easiest to navigate thats for sure.
I have thought about the hot soapy water since theat is how i use to clean my inline...
Looking forward to shooting them in matches and learning from all the C&B shooters...who knows I may just have to shoot them at Blue Ridge...

C&B....Tempting but there is no way I could do it with only one cylinder per gun. I'm just too busy at the matches
-
MM, Use a designated loader
-
MM I agree that shooting C&B with only one cylinder would be impossible at best with all the other stuff we end up doing. I think if I could get three for each it would be do able. I'm even thinking I could shoot the first half with the C&Bs and then the other half with the Vaquaros. I guess I could still call my category FCGF. I'll leave that up to the power's-to-be.
PR the snail priming tools looked like they worked better. I think I want to stay with the 25 gr load. I think I found what I would like to get, now I just have to remember where I found it.
Also still looking for the oversized musket primers for the old rifle. I've got everything else. Think is might be a great way to start a match, or during lunch.
Hope to be making some SFB&S in March with the rest of my F&B posse pards.

I am debating whether or not to bring the R&S guns - I think if it stays as mild weather wise as it has been - I will shoot my C&B pistolas but if weather gets cooler I may just stay with cartridge guns.

MM, There is a 22 bolt action kids rifle called the "cricket".
They are very light/small and made for kids to learn how to shoot with a gun made to their frame size.
It has a completely pink plastic/laminate stock - so I call it her "pink cricket".
It has a safety feature that I accidentally pressed and i don't have the special key to undo the safety feature - so I am going to have nate fix that.
Looks like the rain/snow event may not happen sunday but it will be a might windy...still hoping to shoot!:)

Got my last order of stuff in from Track of the Wolf. The tops of the new nipples are clearly larger and when I put the #11 caps on them they bear fit but fit they do. Got the nibble wrench so I think I'm set. I have 500 rounds of .454 balls, 500 wonder wads enough powder to hold off a small army. I've decided not to get additional cylinders yet. I will have to recharge at the loading table for now. The powder charger (all be it plastic and is a lot like the one that PR had in brass), will throw 24/25 grains. I think I'm set for March. I may just have to see if I can go FGF instead of FCGF.

Nate says hello. He fixed the hitch in my one R&S pistol (cylinder pin would not come out) and the safety pin in Sarah's pink crickett is removed.

PR I was working on priming some of the new Starline cases I got a while back with the hand primer. I found that about 1 out of 7 or 8 gave me a lot of trouble getting the primer seated. It was like it was not lined up correctly. I checked I had the 45LC vis4 45-70 or the 45 ACP case holder in (not sure if they are really the same one) and it was the correct one for 45LC. Now I have had this hand primer for 15 years or so, could it just be getting ready to be replaced? It was a bit frustrating and I ended up stopping after about 50-60 rounds. Thoughts?
-
No presip here yet.. It was 53° at midight when I went to bed, it's 39° and overcast presently. Wiating on an email on some ammo a guy has in Stafford, I want to buy. Back to work at 1800
worn out WW
-
I wouldagree with LR and say worn out WW.
Or perhaps wrong case holder but i am pretty sure the 45-70 holder is same as the 45lc case holder and works with 45 acp too.
I have a rcbs primer and other than the plastic pieces i would think that the system is pretty hard to wear out but i have no experience with the other hand primers.
Wonder if it is worth it to try to get replacement pieces or just procur a new one.
You should be able to get a new one at Bass Pro in Hampton.
PR

no acp is different. Remember the rim on them is differnet. Will when you seat the primer if it pushes the case out it's either the wrong one or worn out. You have loaded thousands of thoose 45 by now and that $4 part has just got worn down, is my guess

Went to Bass Pro Shop today and they did not have any of the Lee hand primers. However, I went a little crazy and got the RCBS Universal priming system. It is made of cast iron, will receive any brand of primers with ease and doesn't even need a case holder specific to a caliber. The darn thing has a set a jaws with springs that will let you put any case in and prime away. The only modification needed is to change the primer punch for large or small. That takes all of about two minutes. Cost a bit but works like a charm. Just primed 100 rounds of new brass listening to the History channel talk about the President's little book of secrets.

Hey I do want to give a thumbs up for the ted cash ratcheting nipple remover.
I used on my R&S pistols sunday and it works great giving right amount of torque both to get the nipples loose and then retighten.
I do have to wonder though...the nipples in the R&S are berrylium and have almost an antique looking finish. I wonder why Euroarms and the others don't use the berrylium on the other C&Bs and if they do why cover them in some kind of blackened finish?
WW that hand primer is just like mine but i have the older style where you need the case specific holder...at only about 10.00 more thats a pretty good deal I think!:)
I will be going to the west point shoot next saturday to deliver cookies then I got to roll and get up to Md for my daughter's zone finals for her IEA equestrian show. She scores high enough...she would got to Nationals in April (thankfully the weekend after BRR):)

Got a half a coffee can of primed new cases and getting ready to deprime and prime a couple hundred used cases. Gonna havta size and lube some of the 800 rounds of purdy little 250 gn 45s so I kin do some loading agin soon.

I can't make it this Saturday but will try for Pungo next Saturday?
We can all shoot out C&B pistolas. We might need an extra-long unloading table to accomiate the three of us loading our guns between stages. :)

They should seperate us by about 2 to 3 shooters and we can take over watching the unloading table from each other to be able to do our pistol loading.

I'll only be going to the Waverly match. When I set up the order I can keep us separated sufficiently. I'm gonna try to put together a loading stand for the pistols. Shouldn't be that hard and I have plenty of scrap wood in the shed. If possible I make up three or four so if ya'll are interested you can have one.

Thanks Will that would be great! I had one once but i think is sold it with the navies and extra cylinder set-up I had some time ago.

WW:
Sounds great! I will be interested in seeing what you come up with. If we all had wooden carts, we could build a reloading area at the top near the handles. I have seen this done before. Cactus Chris (on the SASS Wire) was selling carts he made for the C&B shooters a while ago. Somewhere I have a picture of this. Since we all have the Rugged Gear carts now (yes - I finally got one), I wonder if we could design & build a C&B reloading area to go at the top of the Rugged Gear carts?...something to ponder....

Quick question ,The manual I got with the 58 Rem is saying to use 11 to 15 grains of FFg, that sounds a little light,I thought that 20 grains was the standard load.Any help would be appreciated.
-
36 cal 11to 15 would be somewhat light. ?15 to 17 grain.?
44 cal 15 to 24 I shoot Colts not Remingtons, I would thing the powder charge would be the same per caliber. I believe Sod Buster and Lucky Irish Tom both shoot Remmy's
Just watched the Bottom Dealin Mike Video he used a 20 grain spout on his pocket police. 36 cal

It's a .44,I'll have to try it out this weekend if they let me shoot BP at the range.

24 grains should be sufficent for the steel frame model the brass frame you may want to back down your charge. There are Remington and Colt specific powder flask if that helps

I agree.
I have a pair of Uberti Remington 1858 New Army Revolvers in 44.
The correct loading is 24 grains. I also used the Remington specific powder flask.
-
Think I figured out this photo resizing thing. Here are two shots of the loading stand I put together today for the 1860s. I'll bring it to the March Waverly match and see how it works. Thinking I may get a plastic box for the back for ball, patch and primers.
-
That's how I built mine. folds up nice and loads in the ammo box with other items I need for c&b. I like the new pistol Wildcat
what's up with the clean organized work bench
-
WW - looks great!
I use the 24/25 grain spout for my Rogers and Spencer Revolvers and I like the boom and authority that the balls hit the target with.
You know i think you could easily setup a holder system for the BP stuff with the handle area of a rugged cart like the wood one LR has but without some kind of folding leg it would be very hard I would think to use it as an actual loading stand.
Dang I am itching to put some lead down range...got my caps, got my balls, got my wads, got my flasks, my inline cappers, choice of south american, german or american holy black and two pistols yearning for a chnace to be heard once again.
Not to mention the converted 44 russkie 1866 that sat on a store shelf for a long time as a 44 special short rifle with no home and no boom, smoke, fire or stank...
I need to Shoot!

LR, the picture you posted is what I was referring to. Attached is another shot (cbcart2.jpg) that shows the cut-out areas better. They are little 'cubby holes' for holding balls, caps, etc. Also attached is a cheap version by aother shooter. He just has a piece of plywood and a loader for loading the cylinders out of the gun.
-
The one I put together will not fold down but with a box for supplies on the back, it is only about 3.5 inches tall. Obviously have not tried to load lead but i would think for powder and patch on the loading table is should work alright.
-
WW,
You can modify it to fold down by installing a hinge. This makes it easier for transport only. I think your loading stand should work just great. Go ahead and try it out! Those lead balls with make a tight seal against moisture and you will be already good to go for the 1st stage. ;D I've left a partial cylinder loaded for a couple of weeks before.
LR, haven't you done the same?
-
I have SB. I would agree with the others Majer should at least be able to load 20 grains in the Remmies.
Will how much you want for one of those stands, I hope to be at Waverly in March with my 1860s.
Gentlemen it's time to make FIRE, SMOKE, BOOM AND STINK!
-
LIT I aint selling nottin'. If it will work for you I can make one up. The prototype may need a little modification so I will let folks see what they think and then put something together for em if their interested. I'm going to be going with only the cylinders that came with the guns. It should be interesting to if it is $70 worth of trouble to load the same cylinder each time.
-
LR, haven't you done the same?
For over a year one time
-
WW, when I had the navies set up for BP and had six cylinders it was pretty cool - since Nate had the two navie set up to work with all six cylinders. However, back then it cost me 120.00 for the four extra cylinders - but at 70.00 a pop now I definitely would steer clear of that.
Unless I get some pretty massive binding due to shooting multiple strings - I can't imagine it would be worth it for me to have multiple cylinders with my R&S revolvers.
I may need to get a couple holsters for the R&S pistols - due to the design of the rammer system and the locking piece - they hang up a little in my large frame pistol frogs. Not ready just yet to lay down the money since the holsters fit them well - but will see how it goes next couple matches.

Noticed today that when I have problems with my new RCBS hand primer it is always with Winchester brass. :o All the other brass seems to hold and the primers seat without a problem. However, the rim on the Winchester brass must be ever so slightly narrower because when I attempt to press the primer into the pocket, the case pops out. :o Anyone else ever notice a difference in the brass from different companies? ???
-
From the work bench of Litl Rooster's Skunk Werks
Winchester .509"
Top Brass .510"
Starline -.510" just a shade under
CBC -.510" " " " "
RP .510"
Used old dial micrometer measured twice. The two were in between marks/ticks and to close to call with these micrometers
-
Thanks LR. Most of the brass I have is Starline and I've had no problem with priming it with the RCBS. I guess I could fiddle with the settings but I just don't have enough Winchester to make it worth the effort. Amazing that little bit of difference could make that much of a difference.

Thats interesting, I sort my Win brass from all the other. I used it Strictly for rifle brass. Occassionaly I will find a piece I am unable to get a primer to seat in it. Or even able to get a primer out of. Now I will have to pay attention to which brand it is. Sometimes the band from the primer will stay in place. Unaware of it till I try to load the new primeer in it. I thought maybe I had some on the bench. I will have to watch on my next loading of .45's
-
I have only noticed Winchester brass being harder to resize than the others. Hence, the winchester brass seems to fail and split sooner than others.
My dillon dies seems to prefer magtech brass and Starline brass overall. I also have some "Top Brass" 44 ruskie brass that the dies seem to have no issue with either.
Thanks LR - Katie B is still on cloud 9...me and the missus are trying to figure out the cheapest way to do the NY trip...

PR you know about the leather guy near your favorite coffee house. I think the name of the place is Blackwater Leather. It is in the little shopping area on Tyre Neck Rd. There is a gun shop next to him. He usually has a booth at the gun shows in Hampton. He is a little on the pricey side though. He made my 10ga shotgun belt. Good work but he is usually very busy.

WW, I will pay him a visit and see what he has or can do.
SB I have never had the snags with my full length 1851's - but the R&S have a higher & thicker pinned front site and the rammer latch set-up can also snag.
Whyte Leather (Springfield Slim) does nice work and he quoted me 70.00 a holster.
I also know that we have a few leather smiths in our midst at West Point who might do what we need too.

Get better SB. I might stop by Gathering on Sunday as I transit up to DC/Baltimore for a few days.

Well I shot a full match with the Rogers and Spencer C&Bs and really other than the caps and dealing with the cappers it went really well.
Having the C&B guys do the unloading table duties is definitely the right call!
I do have to get used to the sights on these pistolas - as MM noted to me when I did my job they did theirs - had a really nice tight group on one target where all four dings on the steel target were touching each other.
My converted 44 Russian 1866 functioned flawlessly until the last stage - when I forgot to push the round into the loading chamber as my gunsmith told me ( i had done it right all day - what can I say other than "brain freeze").
And for my enjoyment I shot 10 gauge all day - BOOM BABY!
Great day shooting with friends!

After trying my old powder flask as the range Sunday and seeing powder getting wasted as it leaked out from the spring, I ordered a brass cylindrical one. It comes with a 30g spout so I also ordered the 25g spout. The stand seemed to work find.
I did find out how much of a novice at this C&B stuff I am. On the first capping sequence I capped the empty cylinder. Will say this those new nipples are tight. I also fumbled a few caps with the snail capper I got. Guess I just need to get some more practice.
No problems with shootin' other than I appeared to be shooting high. They definitely sit differently in the hands than the RVs I've been using for the last 7 or 8 years.

Mine with the hinge seemed wobbly at times.

I used to shoot Rugers with the 4-7/8 (4-3/4?) barrel. I always found those shot low so I got into the habit of aiming a bit higher to compensate. Then when I switched to the Colt OpenTops, they aimed more true so I had to adjust my aim back to where it should be. It sounds similar to what youa re describing.

I can't have my casting and loading areas up and running during the process, funny thing about house buyers supposedly it bothers them to see bullets and ammunition being made.

Any word on who won the Caddilac at Mattiponi yet?
-
I am waiting to hear too LR.
Nothing yet from WW or MM.
I am home from work and also did a bunch of chores. Going to go out to dinner with the family soon.
LIT, I am talking with BB on the setup for my daughter - I think he can make her an awesome rig for her first!

Pards I didn't make the Gathering this time around. Wanted to give the back as much time to get strong and be ready for BRR. They certainly had good weather for the match and I'm sure they had a YEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAA good time.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YEHAWWWWWWWWWWWW
Hope to be shooting next saturday!
Hmmm to C&B or not to C&B that is the question...

I just got back from the Gathering.
Had a great time but didn't win anything. WW, sorry you were't there. Hope your back is better soon.
Here's the Darksiders that won (all that matters anyway! ;D)
Missouri Marshall took FCD
Tricky Trinda took Lady's Frontier Cartridge and a whole bunch of side match awards!
Goosefoot took FCGF
Potter took Frontiersman
Walker Colt took Frontier Cartridge
I shot day 1 with my RM Conversions & day 2 with the 1860 C&B pistols. Had a blast! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Debating shooting my C&B's or going with cartridge...decisions, decisions...

11 Brave souls braved the wilds of West Point ;D today!
We got sprinkled during the second half of the day and heard weather around us but otherwise had a nice shoot.
My 1866 did ok but I will defintely be going to a craft store to get a dowel to push the cartridges in the whole way - when I do that the rifle does it's job. It was sticky enoughwith only using an extra cartridge to push ammo in that I switched to my 38spl rifle for the last three stages and had no issues at all when I did my job.
I did have a first - I got a minor safety for a life round left in the carrier -c'est la vie!
I did shoot cartridge due to the threat of rain...
Hope to shoot with the rest of you soon!
-
Glad you had fun today PR.
I'm gonna pass on shootin' at Pepper Mill Creek tomorrow. It has been raining all day and the threat of rain is for all day tomorrow.
That range has a tendency to turn into a swamp fairly easily. I hear work is progressing real slowly on the new Action Pistol ranges where the SASS shooting would move to. Maybe we can get in there by the fall...... >:( :( >:( :(
-
The rain during the day here was light. After dark was a different story. Got some loading done today.
Hope to see the action range soon at NVGC.
I am surprized at the light turn out at West Point today, rain or not.
-
I think the forecast of heavy T-storms and lightning throughout the day probably kept people away. :(
When I looked at the forecast more closely i saw really two short periods of rain and otherwise overcast only...which is why i headed up :D
We got through three stages with really nothing but overcast conditions and then we did get some light rain. Once we finished and went to Nick's for late lunch we did get a couple heavier bands but nothing to write home about.
Late last night we did finally get hammered with weather and it looks like we will get more today.
I did shoot the whole match with my trusty 10 gauge gun shoulder fired artillery piece - it drew lots of smiles and comments.
The light rain did make the smoke hang quite a bit on later stages - a few of us were definitely doing the "where is my target dance" ;D
Fun was had by all - hope shoot with nore of you at Sussex and BRR in a few weeks.

Glad you had an enjoyable shoot PR.
Did I tell y'all how much I LOVE painting! Oh well if it gets the hacienda sold easier so be it.

I got my new 140 grain 38spl bullets from Springfiled Slim! They look awesome and almost appear to be minature versions of my old 158 grain 38spl bullets.
Will load some up this week and let you know how it goes...

Anyone shootin' this weekend?
I am hoping to make Cavalier on Sunday.

Got my two mockups done and oal/sized correctly
140 grain bullets will be loaded over next couple nights and tested first in my conversion pistols and then in the rifle.
If they work in both it will turn into my only 38spl round - if not then i will load 158 snakebites for the rifle and the 140's for the pistol.
Thanks Springfield Slim!

Looking forward to getting some trigger time at the Waverly April match. I've not shot a match since December and I really want to get a run in before BRR. Thinking I be shootin' the RVs as I not sure what the rules are about shootin' C&B in the FCGF category. I'll get some time after BRR to work with the 1860s. Then I can use them for the Smoke on the Mattiponi in May.
BRR is a comin' YEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAA

WW - This ain't no stinking library! ;D
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Been missing you Pard - hope to shoot with you at Waverly in April!

The back has been doing much better. I'm really lookin forward to makin some Smoke, Fire, BOOOOOOOM and Stink. By the end of this weekend I will have every bit of brass, both 45 and 12 in the house loaded. I won't mention how much that is <big brother may be listening> but I can shoot for the next 6 months and not have to reload anything. I NEED SOME TRIGGER TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Found a place in Winchester, Va that sells cowboy era scopes for the rifles. Brush Creek Armory. They sure do look purdy. Not sure they would be legal in side matches but they would be fun to mount on a couple of my 45-70 for hunting.
-
BRR - Here we come - can't wait to share the experience with my daughter Sarah!
Shooting on the 7th and then clean-up and get ready for BRR.
I will be home most of this weekend so Looks like I should get a goodly amount of reloading in - especially since I caught up with my family chores last night. I am set to load another 400 or so 38's and then I have about 16 10 gauge shells to reload.
The new 140 grainers, from Springfield Slim, I am trying out are ones I am using as i try to find the right bullet for my two sets of converted 1851 Navy C&B's - their cylinders are much shorter than the OT 38 spl cylinders and I was running low on my older 38spl round using the old 158 grain lyman that are just short enough.
I love the 158 Snakebite bullet but it is so long that it does not work well in the conversion cylinders.
So, hopefully I will get a chance to try them out at Waverly, then as I finally run out of the rounds loaded with the 158 grain bullets I will just switch.

Ok so - my powder ked is lighter this afternoon! :D
600 - 38 spl loads, 8 - 43 spanish musket loads and 16 - 10 gauge 2-5/8 in shell loads later...
I am trying something different with my 38 spl ammo to see if i notice any difference in powder - 200 rounds of Diamond Back 2f, 200 rounds of Goex 2f, and 200 rounds of Scheutzen 2f all mixed in one big coffee container.
I am out of rifle primers (many 8mm lebel and 45-60 cases need them) and I need to buy some bullets for my 45-60 rifle and 8mm lebel carbines.

I will be shooting next weekend in Wakefield and then the BRR match.
April will be light for me after that.

Howdy Y'all,
Don't have time to post here much. I've been pretty busy. Spending allot of time working on Smoke on the Mattaponi V, the SASS Virginia State Black Powder Shootout. Hey Rooster, you going to be able to come down and shoot with us? The registration deadline is 23 April.
I picked up my much slimmer Bouncin Betty last weekend, Nate did a great job sliming her down. While I was there I ended up getting another S&W Hammered pocket pistol. I will be trying both of them this Saturday at the Pungo Posse shoot. From .32 S&W to 10ga. with some .38spl thrown in between, I'd call that variety. I'll be gitin me a 38-40, model 73 at Roundup. Poney Racer found it for me and as it turned out it was from a Pard I know from Georgia. (he has bought allot of my loadin blocks.) and I have shot with him at NC State and VA State. Good Pard. Now I just got to cast some boolits for it so I can shoot it.
Well I got to get busy, got 8 loadin blocks to finish, awards, targets and props to make for the Pungo shoot this Saturday, clean the weeds out of the flower bed(that ain't got no flowers in it), two shotguns and a pistol to work on and I got ta go to the store(I hate going to the store. Takes up too much time. Well I hope to see some of ya this Saturday. Happy Trails.

PR I will have your C&B loading stand ready for you to try Saturday at Waverly. SB if you are going to be there and are interested, I can put one together for you as well.
Need to get a ruling from those who know these things about shootin some stages C&B and others FC and still be considered FCGF. Also I think I already know the answer but wonder if have to shoot long range with iron sights? If the scope is period correct I wonder how many folks would scream.
See ya'll next Saturday.

FCGF - You can use any SASS legal fixed sight pistol. Doesn't matter if it is C&B or Cartridge.
Period scopes are approved for the long range optical catagory only and I have never seen it offered at any shoot. You can't use the scope in any of the regular long range categories.
-
Thanks MM. I may consider bringing the C&Bs to Roundup. Maybe should a stage or two with 'em. I'll havta thunk on that one.
-
MM that sounds like a busy weekend pard.
I need to get oil changed and a haircut...probably means I will get detailed to the store - c'est la vie I suppose.
Sounds great on Betty and no sweat on finding the rifle - I was happy to do the little bit of research for you.
WW thanks pard I will bring my C&Bs with me to the shoot on saturday - I will plan on making it a 44 day with my 44 ruskie 1866 and the 44 R&S pistolas.
I have thought about bringing C&Bs with me to BRR but with trip to Syracuse NY that next thursday and busy 3 day work week inbetween not sure I want to use them and a pair of cartridge revolvers.
I will probably just shoot 38 for BRR and do some shotgun mixing!
PR

Back from Cavalier. Shot the match Duelest-style with my C&B pistols....using two hand one the same gun is not allowed for the Frontiersman category :(. Had 1 pistol miss per stage. Still more work to do. Only 18 shooters we we were done by 2pm.
LR: if you work week begins on Sunday afternoon, does that mean you have Saturdays off to shoot?
MM: at one time I was thinking of a 38-40 revolver or two so I got some old smokeless ammo off of Gunbroker.com. It is just sitting around if you want it - about 20 rounds. Shoot it & then reload with black powder. I also have a few pieces of 38-40 brass. They were mixed in with the 44-40 empty cartridges I got at the NC State shoot last year. I bid on & won one of the bags of brass that the Boy Scouts raked up. You can have that too.
WW: Thanks for the offer for the loading stand. I got a cheapo from Dixie Gun Works a few years ago. That is what I am currently using. I would be interested in one, yes. Thank you. I just don't know yet if I am coming to Waverly yet. I gotta see how the week works out. I will let you know. Regarding the use of the C&B for Gunfighter, many shy away from using C&B pistols because if the loading leaver falls down, you will have to set down the other pistol in order to fix the problem. This should NOT be a problem with your guns - but I'll be it you were shooting two Walker it could be a problem. Those levers have a tendency to drop. :)
-
WW, I hope to see you at Waverly, if not then definitely at BRR. It all depends on how things are going with the house sale. BRR weekend is off limits for any paper signings. I would be interested in checking out one of your stands. I am hoping to shoot Frotiersman at BRR and SOTM V.
-
LIT I'll have the one I put together for PR and mine this weekend and if your not there I'll bring mine to BRR.
SB I probably won't have your's put together by this weekend but will definitely have it by BRR.
I also have a folding table I got for the C&B folks to load on. This will allow us to have all our stuff laid out so we don't get in everyone's way at the loading or unloading table. It will be in my truck for Waverly and will probably leave it in for BRR.
Hope to see ya'll this weekend.

It was a great day with the Pungo Posse and the weather definitely was just about as good as it gets for a match. It felt good to be out and making Smoke with PR again. I was told I musta thought I were in a library the first half of the match so I tried to pick it up for the second half. ;D
Looking forward to moving west Friday for BRR. The weather looks like we should have clear skies. SB and LIT I will make a good faith effort to get the loading stand made up so you can have them at BRR.

Thanks ya'll. Katie had great ride yesterday but did not make the top eight for championship ride today.
Great experience for her though & in her first competing in IEA pretty special.
I am good to go for SOM & will be sending in my Star City app too. Due to work no other multi-day matches for me are likely this summer. I might not get to shoot at all in June.
July I will probably miss first couple weeks too.

LR glad to hear you will be at SOM. It has been a very long time since we made smoke together.

LR, a group of us are going to do the match with C&B pistols & 10 gauge guns.

Will test them abit before ordering second pair.
I also ordered more Hornady .454 balls from this company:

FYI to the Posse
Price of Diamond Back has gone up to 11.50 a can or 275.00 for a case of 25 cans at our powder source up in the Winchester, VA Hills.
It is still 75.00 cheaper than Scheutzen or Goex.
I do not need a lot of powder right now but keep me posted when folks need some - always easy for me to take a long weekend with family and do the pick-up!
PR
-
BTW - I discovered 3-4 bottles of unopened APP 2F in my powder can container.
I will be at SOM and will gladly sell it at the price I bought it for several years ago.
12.50 a can!
Let me know

I might need a couple of bottles by then PR.

Wahooooooooooooo - got all my shotgun hulls reloaded finally last night and deprimed and resized all my shot up 44 russian brass.
I may just do a run of 44 Russian ammo this weekend - I think I will do what I did with my last batch of 38spl rounds..change BP brand every 100 rounds and mix them up in once container!

Happy shooting to those shooting this weekend.

Wow my second set of Slix Nipples arrived quick! :D
Now they are installed in both pistols!
Right on time for SOM!
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
-
You'll have to show me what's so Slix about them. I still use the stock ones on my Uberti, I changed the Armi SM to Tresco's several years back. the other I never found replacements and shoot it with factory equip. All take 1075 cap or a 10
-
LR the big thing with these that i can see is much more consistent flame to chamber.
That being said I was ok with my stock nipples in the Roger and Spencer.
What Nate had to do to stock Uberti nipples on the 1860's that LIT now shoots would cost much more than either the tresco or Slix nipples.
PR
-
Whatever he did to them PR he did it well, other than cap misfire at Roundup they performed flawlessly.
I was looking at your site for the round balls, good prices. Now all I need to fid is a good supply of lubed wads and I will be set.
Looking forward to shooting them again at SOM.
-
I was going to order some of the ball ammo, then realized where I cashe'd mine.. Like the squirrels I need to use post'm notes. So I saved the link to faves. I will check my cap supply this week may have to make a run to Clark Bros. and get a tin. I think I still have a can or two. Sod Buster kept looking at them at the Gunshow, I had my mind on other things. Like why the Uberti clone of the Schoefield are 900 bucks? You can't shoot Black Powder from them. I should have bought a can or two. I have tried wads and really can't see any eviidence that it helps. I even made some up. It's just another step in loading.
-
Well loaded up all my 250+ cleaned 44 russian brass with more BP & Big lube loads and reconsolidated containers of my 2011 loads.
Think I will shoot my C&Bs and the 44 russian most of the rest of summer
I also have some plastic 10 guage shells coming in to load up for my 10 winchester - thanks to MM for some shorter rounds to try i have recipe ready to go once the hulls arrive!
Might see some of ya'll next week shooting at Sussex or richmond if I am not up in DC...
Have a great week!
PR
-
Hate to say this but I might back out of shooting the C&Bs at SOM. Need a little more trigger time to get use to them. I'll bring Bertha though and the RVs. Should make enough Smoke, Fire, BOOOOM and Stink with them.
Looking forward to next week. It will start with shootin' at Waverly :D, then a week off to spend some time with my Honey for our 30th ;D :o ;D and then end the week with SOM :D . Can it get any better than that???????

My 10 gauge plastic fed hulls arrived and with the help of my wad splitter (a cigar cutter) and a large dowel that I put in the hulls I have 25 shells cut and ready to be loaded for SOM.
I am in the hunt for a 10 gauge reloader that will do a nice roll crimp but for now am fine with cutting the hulls to spec and loading them up just like my brass ones and gluing the over card in place.
Hope to load them up tonight or tomrrow before I hit the open road up to NOVA/DC this weekend.

LR - on the shotgun set-up. I am looking for an older roll crimper tool.
I talk to the dude form Brush creek every couple weeks. He is out of 10 gauge set-ups right now but is sure he will find more - just a matter of time.
I finished loading up 25 last night. May go ahead cut on a few more before SOM - but I have enough with the ones I have and my brass hulls to only shoot 10 gauge for SOM.

I found my roll crimper on Gunbroker only paid like 12 to 15 bucks for it. Just happen to be searching and run across it. Good luck with Brush Creek. He'd be the one I'd check with.

Looks like I have all the ammo I could possibly need even if there were two dreaded Texas Stars involved. I have applied a generous coat of gamer grease to the shotshells also. I date my ammo boxes when I load, it's been way to long since I have shot a CAS match of any type. Cleaned up my revolvers and capped the oil out of my 1860. Going to lube the rifle and shot gun up before Friday. Fixed my suspenders just need to find a shirt and trousers to wear. And get the leather gear in order.

TIB was good. I had fun but one of the handsprings on my main match guns broke so now I gotta order a new one and figure out how to install it. I leave for the NC shoot in 9 days. We had 12 stages - six per day. The rain held off until we were done and packing up to leave.
Not enough Darksiders at TIB this year. I was the only one on Posse 1. Goosefoot was the only one on another posse. Potter & BS Walker (plus one guy shootin 1 C&B and one heathen powder pistol) - that makes 2.5 on another posse. That is a total of 4.5 shooters. Clearly not enough.
-
Initial test of the 1812 original flintlock converted in 1850's to percussion successful. Fired a primer and nipple was clear. This weekend at the range is the second test with 50gns covered with a wad to see if the powder will go off safely. The final test will have to wait until I get the proper size ball. Then she will roar back to life as a 200 yr old firearm. ;D
Someone help me with this. It is a 69 cal so will my FFg work alright?

Thanks Goosefoot. Did not expect them to be so large. I don't plan on shooting it to very much. Just want to see it go off and let the previous owner see it fired. Got to get back to Dixie Gun Works and order smaller balls for it based on the sizing you talked about.
Hope to see ya'll Monday for the WWP match at Waverly.

Took the 1812 rifle to the range yesterday and fired her off after setting up. Loaded 50 gns of FF, compacted with a couple of lubed patches. Very uneventful. :-\ On the one hand it was nice that the 200 year old rifle was intact but on the other hand expected a bit more Boom. I'm guessing when it gets loaded with a ball it will be more interesting.
Gonna be a warm one but the effort is for a good cause. I'll be heading out in about an hour or so and I hope to see ya there.

I am heading out soon meself!
Had a busy night but got good sleep on either side - unlike what happened a few weekends ago when I missed SOM and basically got calls continually from about 10pm-3am.

Wahooooooooooooo the Posse - I am home again - whacky weekend with last minute tent saga and my truck going kaput friday night.
Luckily everying is better today.
Celebrated my parents 55th anniversary and family/friends reunion.
One of my nieces asked that I bring some firepower, so she shot some 38 spl and 43 spanish BP loads and some 22lr out of my gsg!
Hope to shoot again soon!

Making some 12 guage dummies up for practicing. (Yeah that's gettin' a bit gamey) Was going to fill the primer pockets with some silicon sealer but what I had had gone bad. Need to stop at the hardware and get a new tube. You'd thunk it would stay good in a sealed tube for 5 years.

Thanks Lincoln County Regulator and Poney Racer.

Went by the Horse n Pony show here yesterday afternoon, felt sorry for 'm in the 104°. Top that off had a big storm blow thru at dark.
If you all are shootin' this weekend take plenty of fluids with ya.

Well - seems this big ole container ship coming from NY/NJ is calling upon my port...
I am working at least saturday and may spend some time working sunday...c'est la vie.
Drink plenty of liquids, eat stuff that gets them electrolytes back into you, wear light clothes if possible and find shade when you can.

MM and I shot our annual quals with the department yesterday - it was scorching!! One guy ended up at the hospital with heat exhaustion. He asked me before he left how MM and I do it every weekend and I told him that if this was a cowboy shooting day, we wouldn't have shot. Both clubs cancelled their shoots this weekend and for that I am glad. I love to shoot, but sometimes ya just gotta use common sense..... We drink a lot during a shoot, but somedays you just can't keep up.
And with that in mind, MM is NOT going to put a new roof on our shed this weekend.....
Pards, drink plenty of fluids and eat small frequent meals. I love ya'll and want ya to stay healthy!!
-
We love ya'll too TT and MM! ;D
I will say a lighter blue uniform would be useful today; however, we don't have folks shotting back at us and we are not miles away from home.
Hope everyone has a safe weekend and that the storms did not cause any of our pards and pardettes and damage.
BTW I am in discussion with Badwater Bill on Cardinal Wind's rig...she will have two pistolas and a rifle for State. I think we will just have her take misses for the shotgun targets or use a rifle on them - her frame being so small...don't want to dissuade her as she is wanting more and more to shoot with me.

PR I believe it's Cabelas that offers a 12 ga to 410 conversin kit for single shot and double barrels. I have seen a youngin' up in Maryland use one. He was only 10 or so and pretty good with it. Still knocking targets down.

Hope everyone has made it through these thunder storms in one piece. Only minor inconveniences at the Wildcat ranch. Hope to see ya'll next weekend at Waverly.

No issues at the PR ranch here in Chesapeake.

No issues at my place except no power & phone. I am at work now charging my cell phone & checking email. May not get power back until next weekend! :o
-
No power here from last night until about 10:30 this morning, just as it was starting to heat up again. Had to rig up the generator since the well pump won't run without power. My nephew is going to help me rig up my power panel so I can hook the generator to it in these situations and get the critical stuff online. Wish I had the moolah to put in a whole house generator, but those a quite pricey and you have to pay for the Propane to run them too.
-
Wasn't bad in my parish but some of the surrounding communities were hit bad. Including SB's neighborhood. When I left work this morning, there was still nearly 900k without power in the dc metro area.
I understand a tornado touched near Mechanicsville and a small tremor was felt near Lousia again over the weekend.
Has anyone recalculated the math on the mayan Calendar lately?

I picked up and could not let go of a HK416 22lr M-4 style carbine.

It is a "black" rifle so I will give it a pass:)
The ergonomics are awesome and the package of upgrades compared to the other 22lr m-4 style carbines led me to it.

I was at the Overpriced shooting establishment near my home this morning. No plugs most Virginians already know who I am talking about. I went early at opening time. The tempature was already on the rise and the humidity will suck any O2 in your lungs out of them. I endure. Shooting my snubbie, shot thirty rounds with it only one fail to fire. That's 29 out 30, cap fell off. Placed the same cap back on and it fired. The improvement Nate did are well worth every penny. I have to admit I thought the belly gun barrel would shoot low. At 7-10 yards (NOT EXACTLY SURE) It shot over the target. Point of aim at the bottom of the target got it at least on paper consistanly. With the 5 1/2 in. barrel it again shot high but only 6 or 7 inches. Point of aim at bottom of paper placed rounds at near center. I should be able to make some metal sing with it now. At least I know I can get thru a stage without a malfunction. BTW I did not have to clean between loads either. Needless to say I am happy I took my others to him to have the tuning done.
I need a cold beverage now.

Just going to work last night was bad. The heat and humidity took my breath away. It's only supposed to get hotter this weekend. For those who do go shoot, please, please, PLEASE be careful and stay hydrated.

Loaded my 10gauge shells yesterday. I used the loading system from RMC for the first time. Seems to work well and takes a bit less effort but more hammer action. I doubt I will see any difference in performance.

What i relly like about the RMC system is every is set to fit just right.
The tools have worked well for my plastic, i know oh the dread!, hulls too
I may load up more 10 guage and shoot mostly 10's during the match.
I have thought about shooting my remmie 10 and ttn 12 to give shoulder a break.
and Cardinal Wind is coming with me!

PR I'm planning on bringing all 50 of the 10g and another 50 of the 12g. Figure that way I can fill in with the 12 as necessary. I dropped the 10g load from 120gns to 110gns. Doubt it will be noticeable.
-
I have used my RMC kit for brass plastic and paper hulls
-
Will, i think I will copy cat you!
I dropped my load as well - I went to 100 grains due to my shells being a tad shorter since they are the shorter 10 gauge shells.
Gives a nice amount of space for card and glue.

Maybe next year's match will not be SASS-affiliated. Hmmmm.......

Yo the VA Fire and Brimstone Posse.
Do not worry about me and selling guns - I realized this weekend that I have 6 pairs of main match pistols (7 if i include my soon to be 44 russian caliber French St Etiennne 1873 pistols) and i am trying to finish up setting up my buckarette for cowboying...
I am selling a pair of my 44 Russian Pistols 1872 Open Top Pistols 5-1/2 inch round barrels
They have been worked over by LCR but are used.
A price for my fellow VA F&B posse members is 725.00 for the pair.
I am also considering selling my second set of 38 spl converted cap and ball guns with the old style R&D conversion cylinders.
They have R&D cylinders (the ones without a loading gate), barrels lined to shoot 38spl ammo and the barrels cut down to 5-1/2 inch.
Not sure on price of those just yet...but if interested you can make me an offer.
I can not shoot this weekend but will bring them to Va State with me...

I practiced loading a '97 a couple weeks ago, I feel confident I can get a box of smokey shells thru it.. If we get washed out I might hang a couple paper bad guys and Glock them.

This week will be a shotshell reloading show.
BTW Nate/LCR fixed my 10 guage and my 38 rifle - that had the site malfunction near end of match.

Thanks for the reminder PR. I called him Friday, he was not available. I need to remember to call him tomorrow.

Wahoooooooooo Yehawwwwwwwwwww
No shooting for me this weekend but I am set to reload about 55 brass 12 gauge shells!
That will put a dent in the old powder magazine!

Work day at the range. Plenty of supervisors there. I gusess that it is how it goes with a bunch of old men trying to work. Got a few thing done regardless. Shot my 1860 afterwards
-
How did it shoot?
Any pics?
PR
-
It's got some issues, that am sure Nate can straighten out. When it is shooting it seems to be accurate.
click the image to enlarge. as you can see the finish is not the greatest, that's not an issue for one I one to shoot. I do like the grips on it though. The wood has pretty decent grain.

LR it looks purdy nice. I'm thinking <yes it does hurt> I need to get some extra cylinders so I can start shootin' my C&Bs.

Shot my 1860 afterwards
My Dance Bros revolver cable in finally from Cabelas (ordered in June). Hopefully I will bring it on Sunday to try out.
-
Well after all of my pony pulling duties were complete, I did get a little reloading in.
All shot shells are completely reloaded and within 30 minutes the glue will be dry on the overshot cards.
I do need to shoot my C&Bs as well - i think i am going to start trying to shoot c&b anytime that Cardinal Wind does not come with me.
Sweet looking 1860 LR. Can't wait to see your Dance Brothers gun SB!

Managed to cast about 400 pretty little booolets today. Should have enough loaded soon to fill out all my cases.

Well I haven't loaded anything since Smoke. I finally got to the boxes and unpacked my melting pots and my loading equipment. I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms.

Drove a 154 miles to Ivor, Va. today. peanuts look like the a week or so from harvest. Dropped one off brought one back. Stopped in the "speed trap known as Waverly" for a couple hours of fun.
-
Gonna make one more effort at recycling elements back to mother earth Saturday in West Point. One more run before Mason Dixon. This week I've managements to fill all my ammo boxes, cast about 500 and prime a couple hundred.
Hope to see ya'll Saturday.
YEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
-
Loaded again yesterday and I'm starting to think about what to take for Mason Dixon. Hard to believe I'll be heading out next week.
Had a good match shooting with good friends at West Point Saturday. Cannot say I shot very well but I can say I had a lot of fun as always.
Hope to see ya'll soon. YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAA
-
I was great shooting with everyone and getting Good and Dirty with BP!
Cardinal Wind had a great time shooting but got a little hot near the end so I let her sit the last two stages out.
Have a great week ya'll and for those going to Mason Dixon travel and shoot safe!
I got pony pulling duties next weekend meself...
PR
-
I was not able to get to the match yesterday. i did get to the range this morning and make some smoke the smell good kind. shooting my pocket pistol, also tried out some 550 grain rounds in my 45-70. i think i found my limit in recoil. :o Theres a steel plate hanging at the 100 yard. I think it's a old brush hog blade. I was able to ring it with my 30-30 and 45-70 was not as accurate but still make it swing hard.
-
no shooting this weekend, got a mandtory training class on Saturday and gun show and Home improvement projest to work on. if your shooting this weekend it make it a smokey one.

I got PONY pulling duties tonight and Horseshow pickups and deliveries saturday and sunday.

OK so here is deal
GRAF and Sons powder is 11.99 a 1lb - a case is 333.00
The shipping and all fees comes to like another 35.00
Thats less than half a tank of gas for me - so that fee is better than paying for gas to winchester.
Who needs what and are folks ok with getting the graf powder which is $1.00 over Diamond Back?

I would be willing to go to Winchester and pick some up, not sure how I can plan getting it to you down there. It would have to be on a Sunday.
If you want to order it from Graf I could use 5 lbs. maybe like 3 lbs of FFg and 2 of FFFg. I'm not loading long range so any brand will work
-
I can take as much or as little as necessary to fill a case. I only use FFg for everything.
The trailer is loaded and I'm making the final preps for leaving tomorrow. Hope to be on the road by 8 so I don't feel rushed. Thought I would take the interstates this time to see how it goes.

Hey pards I don't know where you get them or what kind of percussion caps all of you use. Today I stopped at the extremely over priced gun store 6 miles West of me in Opal Va.. 100 pack of the Dynamite Nobel's RWS 1075's were $9.95 Yes 9.95. When I call Winchester I will check and see what he has available, if any of you are interested let me know. The last bunch of caps I bought were around 4 bucks a hundred from the same place. Their prices are just too damn high >:(

Should have taken your advice. Wasn't terrible but the construction made it a bit confusing. On the way back the traffic was better but had three back ups because of stuff off on the side of the road and everyone thought it was fun to look at.
Match wasn't quite the same this year. The scenarios were a bit confusing and there were some calls I'm not sure I agree with. As I understand it there has been a change in the leadership. Not sure if things will settle down next year. Must have to give going up next year some real thought. Maybe I'll stay back and run or help run the match at Waverly next time.
As for the powder order, Goosefoot says he is good with powder but can help to fill out a case. What is the plan; one or two cases?
-
Because Mason Dixon is only 10 not 12 stages I was able to use the 10g not the 12g all match. One of the stages had us standing by a concrete block wall to shoot the shotgun. When Big Bertha let loose with the first barrel, I could see the RO running away. Apparently the shockwave was significant coming off the wall. ;D The berm marshal was considering doing an inspection of wall to see if it was going to need repair. :o ::) ;D Guess I had her loaded right.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
-
Unless PR speaks up or LIT I have enough to get a case ordered. I will call him in the morning. Theres a local guy I met thru Gunslingersgulch who is interested in some, so it fills out a case I think.
Sorry about the Match.
I don't travel the I495 I95 area on a regular basis's. I had too twice this past week. I would just as soon everyone here at Cascity pistol whip me than drive that mess. Gub'mint leaders should be proud of that mess.
It's good to know you have the proper load for the 10ga ;D
-
I could use 5-7 lbs!
Scheutzen or Diamondback are fine by me.
The guy in Winchester sells the RWS caps by the 1,000 pack - $60.00 for 1,000 ct - $6.00 per 100 cap container.

going to call him today. Might head in there after I go by the Mechanics place.

N-SSA fall meet was this past weekend. Many still leaving the Fort this morning. Caps were cheaper but not on hand. Had some CCI wasn't interested in them. I have a case of FFg Schutezen in the jeep. 14.00 per pound. Had a great drive thur the old haunts and into Apple country.
I will be available Sunday if there is a match at West Point I would go there. Saturday I could meet but have time restrictions because of work.
If not the weekend after will work also.

Hey you guys let me know if you need more. I may go back up in a week or so pick up some more. I want to get some caps also. Make the trip worth while. I guess saving 40.00 on caps alone not quite worth it. Unless I have and wont had a smart car. Let me know sounded as if goosefoot would need a pile of it. I may try to plan it around my next doctors trip to Martinsburg.
Wildcat Will great job on the Tee's

WW and Goosefoot, I have the powder.
WW, if you want i can shoot over the overpass and deliver yoyurs tomorrow.
Goosefoot are you going to the "pink" shoot sunday at west point? If not no biggee - I will be at the Sussex shoot a week after that.
LR, I had a doe in my sughts but her yearlings were with her. One even seemed to still have spots - I decided to let the mom live another day!
Daughter rocked her horse show this weekend but i ended up with chest cold from all my outdoor activity and the temp drop.

PR, If you are going to be around next weekend, we can meet up then.
Had a productive weekend at my property over in Halifax, Va. Saw the doe and her youngins again. Enjoy having them in the wooded part. Was working on clearing out the area for my shooting area. I have the long range area cleared and may have to work on a shorter range area.
Probably won't make the match next weekend but it is only two weeks until Range Wars. Think we a have a good match planned for everyone. One think I do know is the food will be fantastic. Got a sampling at Star City.

WW, we think alike - I just reloaded 25 more 10 guage shells ;D! I also loaded up all of the 44 ruskie shells i had cleaned, resized and reprimed.
I am officially out of 44 ruskie bullets but will wait to order any due to how rounds I have loaded.
This chest cold/flu really has kicked my but, I am going in for at least a half day today - but not sure i will last longer than that.
I may decide not to shoot sunday due to feeling so poor - we shall see how the next few days work out.
Will chat with you later!

If Cardinal Wind can not make it I will go C&B, but if she can - I will go cartridge.
Too time consuming to help her and deal with reloading the C&Bs.
WW, I will keep you posted since - it worked out really well when you and I were C&Bing and basically were spread out enough to handle unloading table duties while we reloaded.
Looks like weather should be a little chilly in am but turn into a nice fall day. I might even be able to pick up my STG 44 in 22lr afterwards - dang thing has been sitting at Gun store in Ivor - it got there right before Sandy - and my schedule has just been too crazy to pick it up!

Was checking out the 1860 Armys this morning and found that on one of them the screw by closest to the trigger was almost completely loose. Don't know this that would have caused some of the problems I was having with the caps not going off yesterday. I think most of my problem was not being able to seat the caps well enough. I have a dowel I'm going to make into a cap seater. I also got a piece of PVC pipe to go over the push rod to help save the hands when seating the balls.
Must say it was an interesting experience shooting the C&Bs. When they went off I was hitting the target....most of the time. I think if I can get reliable ignition they will be fun to shoot. But I do have some work to do.

One of the trays was empty and the primers were all over the inside of the box. I seated one into an empty case and fired it out of my RV and it went bang. I guess they will be alright. I've never seen that before. I sent an email to Federal to let them know. Anyone else every run into that?

-
His biggest shootin' tip from all his cap and ball experience was to wipe your hands after loading to make sure all the lube is off prior to loading your caps. He also mentioned aiming. I've heard that one before so I really should give that a try some time. ;D
I was a bit disappointed with him a bit. He said he couldn't install a bullet guidance system to remove the misses from the guns. And here I thought he knew everything there was about working on C&B pistols! :-\
-
This is Pony Racers fault. He tricked us into believing we could shoot better by converting. Kind of like the beef jerky salesman at the Gunshow tricking us out of our money. (Another story)
-
I thought he knew everything there was about working on C&B pistols! :-\
He has to keep a few secrets to himself in case he ever gets back to shooting with us.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Today I'll be winterizing the trailer, getting Santa's workshop for the grandkids in full swing and see how much I can get reloaded. Tomorrow I will make smokey. Had planned on go to the property but with highs around 40 this weekend the wife decided to pass this time. Gives me a chance to meeting with my fellow cowboys and cowgirls to make some holiday smoke.

Hey Y'all.Im working on a trade for a TTN SxS hammer gun and would like a good Big boomin,smoke makin,fireball blastin 12 gauge load.I'll be using Federal paper hulls.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

Major Ya might want to try 75gn FFg. It has been known to get a little attention with my 12s.
-
Will, what wad and how much shot? Thanks
-
Major I should make a correction to my last post. I've dropped my powder load a touch and I'm using MagTec brass shells. My recent load is as follows.
70 gn ffg
1/8 in nitro card (11g)
1/2 in pre lubed cushion (11g)
5.3 cc of #8 shot (very close to square)
overshot card (11g)
hot glue gun to seal the overshot card
I've not had any problems with smoke, fire, BOOOOM or Stink and the targets generally cooperate and fall down.
Hope this helps.
-
Will sometimes the targets even flip over in joy! ;D
Major - Will's loads will never ever let you down.
The glue gun glue is highly recommended - it drys in less than 30 minutes and stays a solid rubbery consistency in cold weather and hot weather.
I have tried many other types of glue and the issue always seemed to be that in really cold or hot weather the other glues sometimes lose their seal.
The glue gun glue is used by so many re-enactors in Manassas area that when I was shopping for a glue gun with large amounts of glue gun glue the ladies in Michaels craft store had a good idea what I was already interested in them for! ;D

Some times targets in West Virginia fall from the shockwave :o
I take it you have the Federal Paper Hulls? I roll crimp those with a top card. However I trim most of the old crimp off of them. I use 65 grains of powder and every thing else is the same as above, just depends if they are for me or the Redheaded lady. can't tell the difference between 65 and 70 grains of powder, other than I get an extra round per pound.

While, Cardinal Wind and I did not get cowboy stuff for Christmas we did score a few things around christmas.
I found another set of pink grips for her 2nd pistol. Her rifle was successfully cut down and tested for fit (she now just needs to get used to holding it up and firing it). After realizing she does not have a heavy cowgirl coat I found some nice indian print fleece throws for her as well. If anyone sees a passable cowgirl coat (size M/10-12 kids) anywhere for 50.00 or less - pick it up and i will gladly repay you for it.
This weekend, we are planning on going to the gun show in chantilly, if we kick the stomach crud we have endured for last 36 hrs, to get our ears set-up for those fitted hearing protection foamies and maybe look around for a youth shotgun for her.
I have been able to take advantage of mild evenings in the garage and loaded up 500 rds of 38spl 140 grain pistol ammo (I may switch to this bullet, molded by Springfield Slim, for every 38spl gun - since the 158 grain snakebite bullet does not work with my 38spl pistols due to it's length) and reloaded 40 rounds of black powder shotgun ammo (10 & 12 gauge). WW - I have your shell reloaded and plan on using it during next shoot, Jan 5th, to fire fit it back to 2-3/4.
Hope everyone had a nice holidays and will enjoy a super New Years Eve!

PR it was good seeing you yesterday. Were you able to find Cardnal Wind her ear plugs?

No ear plugs unfortunately - but will continue to look at shows as we can.
I did pick up 3 bottles of spray balistol, one 1,000 ct box of small pistol primers, and one 1,000 ct box of the new remington pistol caps.
I usually shell out about 60.00 for the 1,000ct box of caps.
How about you and SB?

Montana bought some kit from Cabelas for making her own formed earplugs. If I recall the kit was under $20.
I picked up enough W231 to keep my hunger at bay for a while. some custom 12ga ammo for Hog hunting.
I refrained from loading up my credit card.
Sod Buster will have to tell about his purchase
We enjoyed a good lunch at Famous Daves afterwards.

Goosefoot and PR I've ordered ffg KIK today and it should get in next week. The price for KIK per pound is $13.60. If you would rather get the Diamondback I think I have enough to cover what you thought you wanted along with Nutmegger. The Diamondback would be $11. I'll bring the DB Saturday so you can get that if you would rather.
When I talked with the folks at Powder Inc they said the Brazilians don't seem to be in any hurry to get a shipment out. They are not sure what the hold up is but they could not give me an idea on when they would get some. Info I've been able to get on KIK is that is is good consistent powder. I'll be happy with that if you folks would rather the DB.

It was on the cold side yesterday at Waverly, but we had a good smokey time. Not too many darksiders but for those of us there were, we did a good job of putting a haze on the place. We had three BP Gurnfighters. Not bad for a monthly match. Big Bertha was roaring and managed to roll a couple of shotgun targets. We really need to get all the mighty 10s in a match together. Perhaps Smoke on the Mattaponi would be an appropriate time.

Well it appears to be a case of Lyme disease which also caused excess gas over the secum resulting in an impaction colic. He had almost reached the point where standing up was a major challenge. The first 48 were somewhat touch and go, thought I might have to put him down, that's how bad it was.

Just loaded my first two .410 BP loads. ;D Used 40gns ffg, a cardboard over powder card (from the 45-70 loads) a wonder wad from the .44 C&B, filled to the top of the case with #8 shot and another cardboard card. Then I hot glued the card by basically putting a blob to fill the case to the top. I'm going to take them to the next match (hopefully next weekend if the weather will cooperate) and see how they work out of the Bond Arms deringer. Should be entertaining if nothing else. Hope to make it a snake load, either slithering or walking. :o

I'd would like to see how that patterns.

I'm sure it will be pretty wide but for the distances I would expect to use it, it hope it will be alright. May want to go to larger shot.

I handled a 410 sxs the other day.

Bullets well to say it the proper way, so no one is confused. Melt them down to something useful. Like new bullets or fishing sinkers.
Spent Primers I would adventure to say that the spent primers would knock down a Shotgun KD. Not sure the Range masters would approve of them littering their grounds or would the gods that govern the SASS rules approve.
Bird seed was useless last year when I tried it.

Fired the .410 from the deringer and I would say it was a wide pattern but to call it a pattern might be stretching things a bit. I need to figure out how to actually get a decent pattern at 10 feet. I think will remove the WonderWad as there is so little barrel to foul. That will allow me to get more shot into the case. One suggestion was to add grits to help hold the shot together a bit more. Just hate to waste perfectly good breakfast food in a case. If anyone has any ideas it would be mucho appreciated. I really want it for a snake protection.
-
Two legged or belly crawling snakes WW?
-
LIT, I think my 357SIG - semi-auto pistola is better for them two legged kind...
Then again maybe both barrels of the 10 gauge would do the trick! ;D
Cold but great day shooting - my mighty ten roared into the action all day. Sarah had to go to practice for a dance recital/musical that she was in - and Momma decided it was just too cold. The smoke hung pretty good - I had to do the smoke dance on a few stages...
Planning on shooting second day of the Gathering in a couple weekends. Next weekend is Zone 3 finals in Chatham VA - dang I hope the weather man is kind - could use some temps in the 50s - please and some sunshine! ;D

Well I've put together three different loads for my .410 to get a more effective pattern. I've dropped the powder load to 35 gns then for one pair I just added more shot. With the second load I added a brown paper wad which formed a cup when inserted and added the shot.. On the final load I added some grits and then added the shot. In all cases I removed the lubed cushion as I didn't figure with an inch to 3/4 in of barrel I really needed it. I'm gonna test them this weekend and I'll let you know the results.

The results are nothing promising. May have to resort to a heathen load and buy some ammo. Hate to do it but not sure what else I can do. Oh well I tried. :'(
-
WW, i know some pards with them modern shoot guns swear by them plastic cups that they put the shot in.
Maybe with the way the 410 is - it really needs that little plastic cup thingee... or maybe when combined with such a short barrel it needs it.

Took a lot at the long range forecast for the Charity shoot at Waverly on March 30 and it doesn't look promising. Rain percentage is high but so are the temps. Hoping that will change because I still haven't taken the C&Bs out for a run since they were worked on by Nate.

I just posted else wheres, I should had stayed at home. I did get to shoot 5 more out of each of them. The cold air and wind made me back it in early.
They shot as they were intended too, One is a wee bit high though. Okay all of them shoot a bit high but one is a wee bit higher.

PR sorry we couldn't work it out to meet up. Got tempted by a couple toys. One was an original (early 1900s) English 10 g double with external hammers with 28 in barrels. I looked inside and there was a bit of pitting all the way down the barrel. Probably not too bad. They wanted $450 and I was dearly tempted. Just couldn't get the card out of my wallet. I also almost picked up a TC Hawkins in 50cal. I also saw a muzzleloading pistol by TC in 50cal. I could have spent 1K easily today. I managed to get out with the bank account saved.
Just loaded 1lb of 45LC and getting ready to start the second lb. Needed to take a quick break.
Hope to see some of you at the Charity shoot in Waverly Saturday March 30.
-
I was just checking out a new Track of the Wolf ad and they now carry 10g brass shotshells. They run $7.29 each and come in 2 5/8 and 2 7/8 lengths. They call them thin walled and say you should use 9 g wads which they carry as well. They are made by Parker Brothers and use large pistol primers. I think I would rather spend around $8 each and get the thick walled shells from Rocky Mountain Cartridges. Just thought I let you know.
-
WW, thanks Pard I would agree with you!
The RMC shells will last forever!
Small price to pay for that.

Hope to see you on Saturday!

No shootin' Saturday for me. Work out in Halifax this weekend. I took the C&Bs out for a run last weekend in Halifax and ran them for three reloads each. No cleaning or wiping until I got home. They did fine. I think I've worked out some of the operator issues as well. I think I will give them a try at the May Waverly match. That will determine if I use them for SOM. I would like to bring the mule eyed 12 and the C&B.

LR,if you were closer I would give you a brick for your Daughter.I have about 8000 rounds of various .22 stocked up.By the way,you can use copper plated .22's for CAS.just so you don't limit yourself to lead only while searching.

Major - thank you! A couple of local pards have offered same if I get a bit low.
Cowboy and girl pards are simply some of the best people I have ever known for being willing to help.
I will keep in mind the copper coated is ok.
The cool thing about the Eley's I got her yesterday is that they come in a little black plastic holder tray with a slide lid that has to be pressed in to open.
Combined with one of those heavy duty see through plastic 100 round boxes I have reused for years, these two 50 rd ones will help her hold 200 rounds for bigger matches.
No shooting for me this weekend - Horse Show/Pulling duties are calling saturday and I am working sunday.

After today's adventures with the C&Bs I may hold off on the Walkers. I was shooting well, the problem seems to be the caps going off consistently on the first try. Not sure what is happening but I'll continue to work with them. I think the Rugers with the 10g are in order for next weekend. Need to make copious amounts of smoke.

No shootin' this weekend. Spent yesterday taking care of the "honey do" list. Power wash the two sides of the house, clean out the RV, grocery shop, and cut the grass. That let me have today to do my stuff. Cast about three hundred rounds of purdy little Big Lube 250 boolets and then loaded 100 rounds. More to come after going out to Lowes.
Right now it looks like the second weekend in July will be my next match. Hope to spend some smokey time with ya'll soon.

I got out yesterday, took a revolver i had loaded for SOM but never used it there. I shot it. Unlike the ones i used at the match. This one had no ftf or other issues with caps. After 2 plus minths of sitting in the safe loaded.
-
YEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Due to being the 4th I figured I could fire off some caps in the backyard and no one would be toooooo concerned. I worked a piece of cedar in the shape of a comma and thought I would see if it would work to help seat the caps on the Pietas. I've been having such a time getting the caps to fire consistantly I needed to get a tool to help seat them better. Used my #11s and capped then seated them hard with the "comma". I fire 10 caps and every one fired the first time. I could really see the difference in the position of the cap between those seated with the "comma" and those not. Perhaps I can now shoot a match without loading frustrations.
Thanks to all my F&B pards for helping me through this experimental stage. I look forward to shooting my next match with the C&Bs. If that goes well, there maybe a pair of Dragoons in my future. ;D ::) :o
-
Looking at the forecast for Saturday at Waverly (30% chance of rain, 87 degrees and 75% humidity) I'm thinking I might go modern and shoot cartridges instead of my cap guns.

Ok I guess I'm back to shootin' the cap guns again. Just gotta give them another run. Hope they decide to play this time.

I gave up today after three stages during which we stopped twice for major downpours. I did go by and get Nate to fix the loading lever on the 1860 that wouldn't stay in place. I told me I don't need to use much force when seating the ball to get enough compression. I apparently bent the lever just a little so it would not latch. I hope to start shooting them more now that I'm think I'm getting some of the bugs out of the operator so they will shoot consistently.

Just back from the Chantilly Gun show.....Our Pard Sod Buster being the Wart Hawg that he is found a new revolver. Now he is in debate weather he wants a strong side or cross draw holster for it.

Just back from West Point. The weather was very reasonable for late July, but the turnout seemed a bit lite. Nevertheless, the cap guns performed flawlessly. All but one round went off on the first try. The one that did not it was operator error and it went of on the next go round. All but one found its mark as well. So all in all a very good day at the range. ;D I found that the loading process was actually very relaxing. :) There may be a pair of 1858 Remmies in my future. :o

Hadn't looked at it that way. I don't think it is bare metal but it sure looks cool to me. It cost more than the others so I would assume it won't rust away after the first match. ???

After talking with Frio about what he did to get my 44 Russians antiqued (he did them well before I bought them)...he mentioned to me that he didn't think he would do it again because it was so much work to be done right.
Since I have the 44's and a TTN with antique finish - I have considered getting my 66 antiqued just to have a matching set.
But, I am not sure I want to strip the finish off... I do like the browned finish that Nate's Winchester/natechester (he built all the internals) has...

Another day of shooting missed due to "stuff". Next chance will be second weekend in October. Hope I can make that one. I'm definitely shooting Range War and doing it with the one true powder.
-
WW - same thing has been happening here - between work and new house and the kiddo activities - shooting time has been scarce.
I do have reloading room finally in enough order to pump out some reloaded products - which is good since I have almost 100 brass shells to reload and have 5 empty 38spl, 100 round boxes to fill.
On the plus side, I have found/scrounged enough 22lr recently that I am not worried about Cardinal's ammo.
Cardinal is growing up fast...she now wants faux mother of pearl black grips for her pistols!
PR
-
PR they do grow up. How is she doing with handling the rifle? Has she tried the shotgun yet? Soon she will be competing full bore. Hope to see ya in a couple of weeks. If not there is alway Range Wars.
-
She is wanting to shoot rifle more but still needs/wants my hand under hers helping to hold the front...it is getting less and less so I am not pushing hard on that. Her pistol work is better and better.
My way forward with shotgun is once she is holding rifle on own, I will begin a shotgun search for her - most likely sxs but with internal hammers.
Her pistol work gets better and better and she has been helping out more and more open and chatty with folks.
Hoping to shoot on 13th or 20th. Restocked my 38 spl this week loading up about 450 rounds. Need to do a bunch of 12 gauge and 10 gauge reloading through weekend. I have like 70+ empty brass hulls and probably 30+ plastic 10 gauge hulls too.
I have been able to get a little 22lr here and there - and now am comfortable that I can keep her shooting steadily/easily.
PR
-
Looking forward to shootin with you both again. I hope to get out on the 13th to get some smoke in the nose to get me ready for Range Wars. I've arranged for Friday and Monday off so I can take it easy. Hope the weather holds out this year.
Happy trails to you until we meet again.
-
Looks like the weather will hold for shooting at Waverly this weekend. It has been a long time and I cannot wait to put some Fire, Smoke, BOOOOOM and Stink into the air at Waverly.
YEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Just a little more than two weeks to Sussex County Range War. I'm really looking forward to the night shoot on Friday. Bertha has been getting moody about not being able to play for so long. She will roar soon.
Who's gonna ride wit me?
YEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The major will be ready to Belch out load some 10 gauge blasts!! ;D

Hated to do it but the guns got put away. It is raining in Suffolk with forecast of rain off and on in Waverly.

Cardinal and I are staying at the 4h center Friday the 25th to avoid the ride all the way back to Williamsburg late at friday night.

PR if you decide to get more powder let me know. I can always use more.
Only a bit more than a week away from Range Wars. YEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Haven't shot in almost two months but I'm still sure I can find a way to make some Smoke, Fire, BOOOOOOM and Stink.

Two more work days and then I head out to set up camp for Range Wars. Looking forward to night shoot. Gonna be a cold one but I cannot wait to make Smoke, Fire, BOOOOOOM and Stink with me F&B Posse pards.

I'll be watching for the flashes from Bertha in the night sky WW!

Cardinal is stoked! We have missed multiple weekend shoots and this one has the night shoot, 4h center overnight on Friday and the two days of shooting afterwards! Wahoooo Yehawwwwwwwwwww ;D
Going to do a little 12 gauge reloading tonight - just to get back to all shotgun shells reloaded.
Friday night will be chilly and I think the am on Saturday and sunday will be too. However, the days look pretty nice and mild!
2 work days left !
-
One more work day for this cowboy. I'm going out early Friday to set up camp. The truck and trailer have been getting loaded over the last few days. At least I don't have to worry about taking much food. The Chuck Wagon will be there and that is some gooooood eats. Looking forward to shootin' wit ya'll.
YEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Mighty cold but getting ready to load up guns and ammo so I can head out. The time has come to put Smoke in them there hills.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

As most of ou know, I have not been shooting for over a year (VA State 2012 was the last time) since both my parents got sick & were moved into a Nursing facility. This past Sunday (Oct. 27), my father passed away. :'( I will be traveling to New Jersey this coming Saturday (11/2) to bury him in his native state.
My mother is not doing that much better as she has Congestive Heart Failure. The doctors have only given her 2-3 months.
I hope to return to shootin' with you soon. I have missed it and my pards.

WW, roger that hoping to make next two shoots - one in West Pt and one in Sussex.
I will bring 3-4 lbs as well (just in case).
I will be most likely shooting FC next couple shoots - unless Sarah has events that precludes her shooting. Once Sarah can load and unload on her own - I am going to give the C&Bs a run for a good while - but until then I will probably just shoot C&B when she can't shoot due to other kiddo events.

PM responded to. Would love to get the original BP crew back in action!

It would be great to get the new F&B posse (including the original gang) for a picture. The new folks would include Potter and Sod Buster. Flatboat Bob has moved away from the darkside so I'm not sure who else would be included.
I remember when I started the only ones I knew who shot BP exclusively were Arcey and Wildman both of whom brought me over to the darkside. LCR started shooting with us shortly thereafter (in Pungo). LIT started at some point but I don't remember when I met Tom so I'm not sure if was shooting BP in those days. LIT was there anyone else back at Pungo in '01/'02 timeframe?
It has been a great 12 years with the hope for at least another 12 ahead.

Walkers?
What?!? all six stages...I don't think so. Them suckers eat up twice the amount of powder that the others take (50gr vs 25gr per cylinder).
Although....I do have a lot of shootin' to make up for...since I have been gone so long....hmmmmmmm.....
I got penance to pay! ;D

I to have horse duties...
I am the announcer for my eldest's show that day.

Well SB it looks like you and I will have to uphold the F&B posse's good name. I got a new inline capper today to Bass Pro Shop. I found that the snail capper just didn't seem to work on the Remingtons. I think I'll bring them and see how it goes.
I'm looking at getting some small glass capped vials to work on a setup like Potter's has with his powder. I thought if I load the powder into the individual vials the loading would go faster. What do ya'll thinK. I can get 2 dram vial for around 40 bucks for 114 vials. Only really need 60 but that will give me extras if I they start getting damaged. They are a little over 1/2 in at the mouth and about 2.3 inches long. Seems like they would fit over the cylinder opening nicely. Also should hold up to about 70gns in case I wanted to use them for my muzzleloading rifle.
-
I used .223 cartridges with the bottle neck shape they made a perfect place for store and pour for each cylinder.
-
I have seen people use the 223 in a dipper and a converted nozzle for BP cans.
PR
-
Don't have any 223 but I do have 30-30 cartidges. Wonder if they would also work? How would you keep the powder from falling out after filling them?
I may have to shift over to cartidges this weekend. With the reduced number of BOD members I've agreed to help out. Not sure I can deal with loading C&B and helping out in a more significant way than loading or unloading tables. I think I'll take the conversion cyclinders and try out the Remmies. No time like the present. ;D
-
Will you would need to find a rubber cap to fit over the end. For my .223 cases I had an ammo box with a plastic piece in the top under the lid it kept them upright until I used them unless someone knocked over the whole box.

Also should hold up to about 70gns in case I wanted to use them for my muzzleloading rifle.
I gave up om cappers for now. I have plenty but never can get them to work. I have been placing the caps manually and then pushing them on with the deer antler "pusher" that LR made for me.
I am using some "Speed loaders" that I got from Dixie Gun works:
http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_100_359&products_id=7712
These are the .36-40 cal version. I had originally tried the .44-50cal version but they were a bit too large. They are really designed for the muzzlleloaders. They come 50 to a bag so if I come to the match loaded for the first stage, these take care of stages 2-6 for both pistols. I pour in the powder and them plug the top with the cast ball. It works for me.
-
I will have to keep that in mind. I've got some 30-30 brass and plan to see if I can find a dowel that will fit snuggly. If not I'll be order some of those. Thanks for the info.
-
I am getting more and more comfortable with using my flasks but have switched to all tube flasks and all with the 25-30 grain spout.
Cappers - do not buy any other cappers than the Ted Cash ones. I don't know why - but his cappers always work.
I load up my cappers (I have 6+ now) before the match and don't fuss with loose caps anymore during matches.
WW - your reloading station bag works for me.
I just won't shoot cap and ball a lot until Cardinal can load herself - which she is almost there - the 22 rifle with the top/tube load system is still just a little awkward.
When she does her Girl Scout weeks later this summer - I will cap and ball more. Once I get the 1860 armies from LIT I will have choices! Wahoooo Yehawwww!
-
I just got a 5/16 inch dowel and cut it to one inch long and it fits great into the 30-30 brass. I have about 68 empty cases with fired primers and another 15 or so with no primers. I figure I can fill the primer pocket with silicone and I will have powder speed loaders. I can measure out the powder, and use a 1890 rubber band to hold them together in bundles of five. That way at least I'll know when I have 5 chambers loaded. :) Got two dowels for about $2 and that should be enough to have the 60 I'll need and a few extra in case I fumble finger a couple of loads.
Think I'll hold off with the cap and ball this weekend but will definitely start using them more. PR I agree it will be nice to have choices. I'm thinking of seeing if we can start a new category....old fart, frontiersman, gunfighter. See how many want to join that category. ;D
-
Think I'll hold off with the cap and ball this weekend but will definitely start using them more.
No...no..no...don't abandon the C&B. Will I be the only one there shooting them? :( :( :(
A new category sounds like fun.
-
Looks like I may need to help out running one of the posses. Trying to do that and load C&B will be a little difficult. There will be other days for C&B. At least I will be there to make some smoke!
-
Working on the first cup of coffee and getting ready to load the wagon and head out to Waverly. Should be a lovely day for a match. The sound of BP being ignited (BOOM), seeing the light (FIRE), breathing in the glorioius aroma (Stink) and enjoying the reduced visibility (Smoke). Yes a wonderful for a gunfight!!!!
YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAA

Great day of shootin with my F&B pards. Those who could not make missed a good time. I found shootin the Remmingtons is a little different feel than the Rugers. It was fun and after I get use to them I should be able to speed up.
LIT they sure do shoot nice. I shot with the conversions in today. I'm looking forward to shootin them as C&B. I orders a cylinder pin for the one that was not wanting to play. Getting it through Dixie Gun Works. Suprised how inexpensive. Had some real problem near the end and that was after Ballistol and cleaning at stage three.
Had a great time YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAA
-
And I had a great time shootin' C&B in my Colts. Gonna have to start making it a more regular thing.
Several smokey shooters there. How about that P-Town Eddie getting a clean match shooting conversion cylinders! He sure has come a long way.
-
And that was a first time ever for him. Needless to say he was really happy.
-
YEEEEE HAAAAAAAA First Dirty Match I've had in several years!
-
Sorry I missed such a dirty, smokey, firey and stanky time ;D!
Hope to shoot again soon with my pards.
Daughter had awesome horse show and the announcer got things straight after a few hickups:)
Hope to shoot dirty but smiling from ear to ear soon!

-
Have a pile of bullets cast just need to load them up. Might take me as long as P Town to get a dirty match, but as long as it is smokey I am having fun.
-
Appears a smokey good time was had by all

Looks like I've got a pass to go shoot this weekend again. I'll head out to the Waverly match Saturday with the Colt Armies. C&B day!!!!!
-
I won't make it this time.
-
I will be there with Cardinal if the creeks don't rise too much!
-
Do any of you get up to the Pepper Mill Creek Gang shoots? I shot my last stage there all BP, which I must admit was really cool.
-
PR glad to hear Cardinal will be there. It has been a long time since I've had a chance to shoot with her. Let's try to posse together. I'm still planning on bringing the C&B Colts with.
BTW SB showed me the pair of Walkers last weekend. There is no way on earth I would try to shoot gunfighter with those monsters. I don't think I've got the arm strength to hold them up long enough to get through the stage. Might be fun trying though. ;)

I have shot with a guy in Mississippi that shot those suckers one handed with conversion cylinders.
They weighed a lot but he did have huge arms!:)

Good day of shooting for great pards. Did shoot very well but it was a great shoot anyway. I was shooting the 5" Colts and it took me a stage to remember the aim point for them. Very much different than the Remmingtons. It will be interesting to move from match to match shooting the Colt Armies, the Remmington Armies and the Viqueros. I may go back to the Rugers next match. Have to see what the weather is doing.
Dang I love shooting BP!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAA

Wahoooo - great day shooting with WW and other pards and pardettes.
Sarah needed a break due to getting shots in her arm.
That allowed me to play with my Rogers and Spencer pistolas - C&B sure can be fun!

No shootin this weekend. Hope to get back at it July 5. I have a need for burning some BP. ;D

Nice seeing you shoot today. I'm the guy with the iron-framed Henry and the two Bisleys.
-
SB did you use the Walkers yesterday?
Nothing much on the to do list that could be done with showers in the morning. So I did some bullet casting. Got another couple hundred out but the melter didn't seem to want to pour very well. I think something must have been plugging up the spout. I've got plenty of little boolets to last me for awhile so I'll have to heat it up, empty it and see if I can figure out what is going on. Maybe I found an excuse to get me one of them new fancy Lyman melters. ;)
-
SB did you use the Walkers yesterday?
Nope. I forgot to pack them! Next time for sure.
I shot clean all day (er dirty) with the 1860 Colt C&B guns. It was a blast....especially stage 3 when the smoke just sat there. The weather turned a bit sour for that stage. It started raining slightly. Perfect BLACK POWDER WEATHER! ;D I couldn't see the targets but apparently I hit both bulls eyes (2 bonuses).
I need to get into bullet casting.....some day.....sorry you had troubles.

I shot the rifle and revolvers using BP, I'm not set up to reload shotgun shells yet. Which is unfortunate, as my IAC 87 didn't like the Winchester AAs I was using Sunday. Someone on The Wire is supposed to be sending me some brass shells, still waiting on them.
-
Owning a 87 myself can attest AA or any Remington silver green gold casing work best. I have used rolled crimped paper hulls and brass magtech both with a degree of difficulty. I would try and but a little bit of a roll on the brass rounds. To avoid hangs ups when cycling. Regardless the 87 is full of style and awesome points. I believe one of the PMGC members ues a '87 also. Black Jack
Good Luck with the Pepper Mill Gang is a fun club to shoot with .

Enid City Kid down at Cavalier shoots Black out of his 87. Might be work talking to him for some pointers.

Sadly, they're new factory rounds, which is why they're smokeless. The one time I went to Cavalier I did not see any 87s, looks like after the summer beach traffic ends I'm going back and shooting with them. Next week, Virginia City Marshalls, smokeless only since they're indoors. I'll probably give the Taurus Thunderbolt a workout then.

With your '87 try loading one directly in the chamber- that would eliminate any thought of sizing. I would spectulate from experiance. The throw on the lever is very long. Which leads to cycling problems, shortening the stock may help witb that issue. Sod Buster is right about Enid City Kid he is very helpful and a great cook too.
DoesThe Taurus have a quarter inlaid in it?
No comment on Virginia City...
All of you pards in the common wealth i have listed some brass at another site. I have included 50 pieces of Magtech 12 ga. Cleaned and primed. $35 sold ]plus postage. I may list some other cowboy related later as i get a good count and polished up a bit.
I also have some .38 auto and .41 colt available.
Just cleaning the storage container out and riding stuff i am not using.

I had good experience just single loading my 87 with brass and plastic. The load two system takes some practice - if you shove two shells two hard and deep into gun it will mis-feed.
I liked mine but a niece fell in love with the gun and it became a present. More youth shooting our guns is always a good thing.
Hope to load up some 12 gauge soon for Cardinal to give her shotgun a try next weekend during break time.
I am getting low on 38 so taking shells to re-prime with me to weekend horse show - that way to can reload them this week.
Keep fingers crossed for me pards. My O-6 board starts 07 July.

Spit off the port or starboard for good luck?
I tried priming at work one time on night shift. Didn't get many done. Work got in the way. Never tried again.

Good luck PR. Looking mighty hot July 5 but will still give the cap and ball Colts a try. Too much fun.

Good Luck with that. Them things is a PITA.
The rifle is ammo length sensitive, but standard 250gr cowboy loads fed properly. I put 80 rounds through her today, I had to single-load some SWC ammo I had but that was the only snag I had.

Had the day off so I went to see Gunsmith Master Nate to see what he could do for the Remmington that was giving me so much trouble pulling the cylinder pin. He looked at it, walked back to his work area and about 15-20 mins late he brought it out and all is good!!!!!
He said it wasn't the pin but the loading lever. Apparently, he took a little off the height and it all started working again. He thinks the pin might have been a little bent by the lever pushing on it. However, all I know is the pin slides in and out very easy now.

I was just trying to cap the Remmies with my inline capper. It appears the area around the nipple is too tight to let the capper get in far enough to set the cap. :-\ Comparing the Colts to the Remmies it is clear the Colt squared opening is larger than the fluted opening on the Remmies. Now I know I cannot be the only one who has attempted to cap Remmies before. Is there some special capping trick I need to know about??????
-
Look at these, I know one of them is supposed to be perfect for Remmies.(Just don't remember which)

Thanks Major. I think I see the one that should work.

Are you able to grind/thin down the tip to fot it in easier?

Going to Clark Brothers tomorrow to light up the C&Bs (finally!) along with some BP loads for my 44-40s. I'm heading up to Thurmont, may be shoot there, on Sunday (if they'll let me). I need some 115gr bullets for my 32-20s before I try loading BP in them. The 100gr bullets I have now ain't acting right.

I may try the fingers capping them and pop a couple of caps tomorrow....ifn the rain aint too bad. If I don't fumble finger too much may give it a try at the match.

Well the Rugers are going to have to wait a little longer. I capped the Remmies by hand and it was very easy. Followed up with the antler to be sure they were fully seated and pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. I think I'll give them a try tomorrow.

Took my two C&B pistolas out to Clark Brothers. The Navy did NOT like the CCI caps I got from them. The Army had not problems with them. Now I have a problem. I cleaned out the Navy but when I put it back together, it wouldn't drop the hammer. I started taking it apart and found some metal shavings inside the works. That's just peachy, I got them out. Now my problem. I can't put it back together :-\ I'll figure it out tomorrow.

Not a problem. First you hold the whatjamacalit and the thingamabob together and slide them into the thingie. Then be sure to put the screw in real quick. Then ..... probably better to look on You Tube. ::) I'm sure there is a video out there somewhere on how to do it.

You know soon she will be shooting (winning) in the same class as you ;)

Good day of shootin wit my pards. Cardinal is certainly getting better and better everytime I see her. Once she gets the hang of the shotgun I'd be willing to bet it won't take long before she will be beating the pants off of me!
The capping by hand worked great and was probably faster than with a capper. Every round went off and most hit the targets. After Nate fixed the pin issue everything seemed to work just fine. Had the joy of catching a fired cap between my hand and the pistol. Not a lot of fun.
-
Now I know why the hammer pull on my Pietta Navy was so light. The main spring was cracked. When I took her apart Friday, it finally snapped. Anyone have a recommendation on where to get a replacement?

Well, we had a great time shooting yesterday.
Seemed like long guns had issues first couple stages.
Had never seen anything like it - multiple shotguns and rifles...including my rifle.
However, after the first stage everything seemed to go just peachy.
I did though have one of those matches...rifle wents nuts first stage, had a P on the 4th stage and a few misses intermixed.
But still more fun than a day in the office any time!:)
Cardinal is already asking for bigger caliber pistols and rifle so she can shoot BP - she has caught onto the fun of shooting it and realized that the sound of BP going off is loud but recoil can be quite mild...
I am sure she will beat the pants off of me soon enough:)!

I've aquired a new brass framed 1858 Remmington Army, a 54 cal percussion rifle and a 50 cal percussion rifle (kit gun partly assembled). I'm bringing them to the match tomorrow and putting them up for sale. If someone in the area is interested let me know. I don't really need any of them. I got a good deal so I'm willing to give anyone interested a good deal as well.
I'm gonna bring my derringer to test out some loads I made recently (heathen powder).
-
Remember to wear a disguise when you shoot that heathen stuff.
-
I really feel bad about that heathen powder issue so let me ask a question. If I take a bullet with standard lube and load a case with BP, put a wonder wad over the powder and then the bullet on top; how bad will a derringer barrel foul? I was thinking of doing that but worried the lube from the bullet wouild tend to cake in the barrel. While accuracy with a derringer is not great I don't want to make it a smooth bore and wonder about cleaning it.
Any thoughts?

In a derringer?
A inch and half of fouling isn't much. My .32 loads i use either round balls or poly lubed bullets very little fouling. My derringer quit working never replaced it.
-
LR after thinking about it I realized it was a bit anal retentive to be worried about fouling in the derringer. :-\ I will get some .38 wonder wads and go to town.

Been an interesting 24 hrs. I was de-priming my stash of 45LC cases and the shell plate screw on my Square Deal B broke. Pretty much puts the loader out of service. I have two coming in along with 2 detent ball and springs. I'll have extra parts on hand to prevent the down time (hopefully) in the future.
Then looking at the .54 Hawkins I realized I needed to replace the drum and nipple assembly. The nipple the knuckle head had on it was not the correct one and managed to mess up the drum threads. So I sprayed it down with WD 40 and let it sit for a bit. Then lo and behold the assembly came off. Went out to Dixie gun works and I think I have an assembly that will work. Got some Wonder Wads for the .38 while I was there.
The .50 cal kit needs some work as well. I'm going to have to do some work to get the stock to fit the furniture and then stain and finish the wood. I'm also looking into getting the barrel browned. I have a connection to the gunsmiths at Williamsburg. Hope they can help me learn to do it or have it done.
After all this work on the rifles I may have to think about keeping them rather than selling them. Still plan to sell the brass framed Remmie. It has never been fired so I'm thinking I should be able to find someone who would be interested in have one relatively cheap.

WW - busy weekend!
No shooting but lots of Home work, Horse helping and reloading.

Take a baking sheet line it with newspaper or paper towel put it in the oven at 225 degrees with the smokiless lubed bullets on it and wait about 10 minutes check to see if all the lube is gone from the bullets. If not wait another 10 minutes. The news paper or paper towel will absorb the lube as it runs off of the bullets. wM1
-
For derringer side match just fill the case with the correct amount of BP then top it off with a .36 cal round ball.then dip in in some wonder lube before you shoot them, works great and solves the fouling issue.
-
thanks for all the great advice. I'll let you know how it all works out.
-
Will,
I agree on that RB, the ones I use are from Hunter-Supply, they call them their 380 ACP RB. They run about $12.00 for 100. I have used them for my .38 Short S&W Top Breaks and they work great for short range (a few feet). I do this with the .32's too and use the .310 RB.
Now these are not typical .36 cal. RB at .375 to .380 but instead, they're 0.356 so, no sizing, just drop them in. For the 38 special, I put a Circle Fly .36 Wonder Wad under there and that dab of BB as we talked about last week, same concoction as 45's, except I use FFFG, just different caliber.
I'll try to bring some next time I see ya.

Who got to shoot? I have been busy with Horsey duties and work....

I had chores and stuff I wanted to work on.
I've been working on the kit gun I got (the 50 cal rifle). It has been a bit more challenging than I initially expected. Not sure if it is the quality of the Traditions kit or the person who tried to do something with it. The butt furnature simply did not fit flush to the butt stock. I had to do some wood shaping to get that taken care of. I also decided to drill as second hole for a second screw to hold the brass butt plate on better. This also helped to close the small imperfections in the fitup. Also the brass what significantly narrower than the stock. Needed to reshape to get it to blend a bit better. Also needed to cut and shape the brass strap that goes on the bottom of the butt stock.
I just put a dark walnut stain on the wood. It is my plan to use several coats of Tung oil to finish it up.
The next step is determine what to do with the barrel. I'm thinking of bluing it but I'm also considering leaving it white. If I keep up with it I should be able to keep it looking nice. I think with the dark wood and the brass furnature it might look good left white.
I'm leaning toward keeping the rifles and only sale off the pistol. LR I'm hesitant to put it at the place you provided as I don't really want to deal with shipping it. Hoping someone local will be interested. I'll bring it back out to the match next Saturday at Waverly.
Hope to see ya'll there.

b) caps falling inside it & jamming the cylinder from rotating.
c) I was very slow shooting these.
If you got the email from Striker with the pictures attached, look at SASS_8-17-14_108.JPG
Did you find holsters with suspenders for them?

Cardinal and I will be at State! ;D

After checking Google maps I will not be going to the State match this year, as it's 4 hours each way for me. I forgot how far it was from my current location :o

Naw...they fit into the rig that Flatboat made for me to hold my 1860s. I was surprised. :o :o :o

It is about 5 hrs for me. Just spend a few nights in the hotel or camp out at the range. Lots of competitors are camping there.

Gonna try to get out this weekend to the Waverly match. Anyone else planning on shootin?
-
I have Horsey duties this weekend - so plan on shooting in next weekend.
Cardinal shot great at State - I really need to get her to monthly matches so we can try out her shotgun more.
It was great shooting with Sodbuster along with MM and other smokey pards as well as the smokeless crowd.
WW you were missed!
Now, I do need to get-up with LIT for a visit - I do believe he has a pair of 1860's that need to join my C&B stable!

I've looked at the weather for tomorrow and 92 degrees with 60+% humidity is just too much for me. Gonna try to keep cool.

WW: I looked at the weather gauge on the first morning at the State shoot and it said 98% humidity! We were definitely in the clouds.
No shootin' for me this weekend either. I am going to the Fredericksburg Gun Show to look around. Hopefully soon.

No shooting for me this weekend. Have some honey do's and Jacob time.

That should be interesting!!!! I look forward to seeing them roar SB.

If Cardinal does not shoot the night shoot I might do C&B too.
Figure we can load up the cylinders before first light is lost and then have a over light at a loading table to allow for reloading the cylinders easily.
I do plan on shooting my 1866 with 44 loads for a bit more boom, stank, fire and smoke!

Have fun y'all!

Loaded some .38s for my derringer today. Starting to get ready for Range Wars next weekend. Looking forward to Friday's night shoot. I only which I could shoot the 10g all weekend. Unfortunatedly, I will only have enough for the night shoot and the first day. Have use the 12 on day two. Oh well, she will still make a statement with the Fire, Smoke BOOOOOM and Stink.
-
My Walkers are loaded.
I hope they go BOOM Friday night.

Getting things ready for a Smokey weekend with my F&B posse friends. I've not shot ya'll in some time and I'm ready for a BOOOMing good time. So get ready to Fire it up and don't forget the Stink. See ya'll Friday fur the night shoot.

I hope I make it out of here (Long Island) tonight or else I will miss the night shoot. The rain is coming down hard and the storm seems to be just sitting & rotating about the island. :(

I have the pleasure of reporting my daughter was really stoked about shooting most of the match with black powder rounds.
She shot whole main match with black powder 32 pistols and then after lunch on Saturday she shifted to a 38 rifle with black powder loads.
Cowboy pards and pardettes - are so giving it is so awesome.
Thanks to Missouri Marshall/Tricky Trina for the use of the pistols and Sassy Shooting Sours/Potter County Kid for the use of the 38 rifle.
I guess the shift from 22's will happen early....

The next Gemstone you are raising them right PR
I hear congrats to Sod Buster for a Frontier Cartridge win.
How'd the rest ya all fare?

Maybe the SMOKE hasn't cleared enough yet for anyone to figger it out Roo! ;D

My Walkers are loaded.
I hope they go BOOM Friday night.
I had some troubles capping the pistols in the dark. Sassy helped me but I still had a couple that didn't go BANG on both stages of the night shoot. I will have to play with them some more. I don't know if the issue was cap seating or nipples.

3 - Wildcat Will

1 - Potter Country Kid
Lady Frontier Cartridge
1 - Tricky Trina

Awesome amount of smoke
-
There were wonderous clouds hanging over each of the bays. After Cardinal shoots her next match complete with BP, which I'm sure will be her next match, I think we need to consider inducting her into the F&B Posse. She puts out more smoke than some folks do at the Va State BP match.
-
I second that motion! ;D

All in favor say
AYE!

One absentee ballott......

Best Turkey to you down south partners. We're up here in the northwoods with family. Winter is here, but so is the northern spirit. We'll shoot with you in 2015.

All ready December. Goverment workers have gone to Holiday mode- deer hunting in many areas coming to close- cowboy shooters have covered the metal bandits and desparado's for the year. Dreaming of kegs of powder and lead to cast for the winter months ahead. Shine the brass and clean the Winchesters. It is 70 here again today, i think some smoke and fire need to be made.

I just got back from gov't travel down south. Have Boy scouts and horse duties this weekend but will be shooting the next two after that - pending weather.

She is getting the 32 ruger pistols and the 38 rifle for Christmas from me.
Hoping to have her shoot the first match of January with me if it aint too cold or raining.
Be safe ya'll
Merry Christmas!

Sorry about being absent for a bit. The first January match has been cancelled due to thunderstorms...in January. Crazy. I hope to be shootin' Jan 10. Hope to see some of my F&B pards there weather permitting.

Weather permitting, Cardinal and I will be there!
On the positive side - the weather has allowed me to do post Christmas honey do's and get some loading done for Sarah.
Switching to Sarah 12 gauge shotshells tonight and putting primers into some pretty little 32 shells!:)
Happy New Year Ya'll!

I'm looking forward to February. I'm going to try to hit Cavalier and Black Creek that month. I say try because I don't know if I'll have a complete set of working firearms by then ::) Looks like I'll have to order a couple of holsters for my C&B revolvers to shoot them.

We keep losing out to momma nature but at least I am getting lots of reloading in!
Hope everyone else is doing ok!

Sent you a PM Pony!

Finally made it to a match today. We had a good turn out and a high of 54 degrees. Brought Big Bertha and she beltched much good Smoke and provided reason for hearing protection ;D
Currently looks like next weekend is shaping up to be another frigid one.

I did get about 200 or so pretty pink shot shells done for Cardinal along with lots of 38 reloading. I even have my press set-up to try some 32 reloading...but have plenty of 38 and 32 ammo on hand for awhile thanks to both Missouri Marshall and Sassy.
Turns out my 38 loads were not Marlin friendly:)!
Cardinal now has her own 50 call ammo can to hold her 32's and 38's in it, two large coffee cans full of 12 gauge and two 25 round shotgun shell plastic holders.
I think I might do some 10 gauge reloading for me...since I have been doing almost all my reloading for her! Wahoooo Yehawwwww!

Fun was had by all- soon to be chutin' season keep it smokey.

All my ammo boxes are full again. As I was reloading my wife asked me a very good question. How can you have anything to reload if you haven't been shootin? :'(
Dang I need to get some trigger time in. Snow, snow go away and don't bother to come back any day.

Don't she unnerstand that if ya put a male shell an a female shell in a empty can ya wind up with a bunch a reloads? ;D

Wahoooo, excited that the weather finally looks passable for next weekend and Sarah and I will not only get to shoot but spend two days shooting with some great cowboy and cowgirls in West Pt, Va at the yearly Gathering two day match!

Hard to believe FCGF was the biggest category. Not that many years ago I was the only one in the category. Well the more the merrier.
It was great being able to shoot with you both again. Been waaaaay tooo long.

You both going to the VA State shoot again this year? I am planning on it.

SB. I've not decided if I'm going to State this year. Going back and forth on that one.
Had another good shoot today. A bit warm (upper 80s) but there were sights to behold as Beartooth paid off his bet. Shot the Remmie with the conversions in and things mostly went ok. Been a little bit since I've done much shootin wit em. One of them was actining up but that was probably in part due to the operator.
It was good to see Wanda and Longhorn Louie again. Been a real long time since seeing them last. Mississippi and Hobo made it out to watch. Good time was had by all.

OK Posse, I was just looking to get a couple of spare cylinders for my 1860 Colts and the prices are going through the roof. What the heck is going on? Midway doesn't show them on their site, Base Pro doesn't show them, Dixie gun works wants 91bucks, Taylor's wants 110 buck. I think Cabela's had some but I have to double check. Dang it!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Had a small but an enthusiastic group at Waverly today. Temps not bad and the clouds kept it from being too hot. I had the 1860 Armies out today. Not shot them in awhile but everything went well. No misfires and I didn't slow the posse down either capping or charging. Had an ok match had a couple of 1 miss stages and the other 4 were no misses. I really need to show those more often.

Dang it all....I had to miss it!

Powder prices seem to be going up. Tried to get KIK from Powder Inc but they didn't have any 2F and not sure when they would get more. KIK is $14.10/lb now. Ended up getting Scheutzen 2F at $16.??/lb. Figured I should get some before price go up and/or availability gets more difficult. Political environ looking iffy in 2016.

May have really screwed up. I deep cleaned the rifle and pistols. :o Hope they still know how to send the bullets where I want them.
