I made this bag up to hold my rounds.  Will it work for NCOWS?

Ok, I'm not an NCOWS member(yet), but I can't see anything wrong with the bag. Beats blue plastic hinge lid boxes. However, I'm pretty sure Coors Light is NOT period correct.........

Dustin,
The bag looks great, but it doesn't look like your bullets are seated far enough.

Thanks Pony and Yuma. The bullets are .38 spl seated to 1.55 if i recall. If i seat them where the groove is they won't feed in my rifle. I tested out different OAL then ended up checking the lee loading manual and the OAL that worked best happened to be what was suggested in the manual. So far I haven't had any trouble with not crimping them in the groove.

Dustin, I have to load them the same length for my '73 to feed them right.  I use a Lee "factory crimp die" and haven't had any problems with them.

Howdy Justin,

Since 2007 I've been using a 147 grain TC (truncated cone) .38 Special bullet from Moulton Lead in my 1866 Uberti. It makes for a longer overall length and has been absolutely trouble free.

There is no crimp groove on this bullet. I crimp on a flat area of the bullet. See attached drawing. I use LEE standard .38 Special dies along with a LEE factory crimp and end up with an overall length of 1.555".

Here is a link to their web site:  www.moultonlead.com

Thanks Johnny. I've looked at those before. How do they shoot compared to 158 gr? Do you also shoot them out of a revolver?

I use them in both Rifle and Pistol. I don't notice much difference between the 158's and 147's in my Pistols. I only use 147's in my Rifle.

To be period correct it would have to be regular Coors, not Lite!

Schueler & Coors, Golden Brewery (1873–1880)

Coors has been in business in a number of forms since 1873, initially employing a Czech recipe. It survived prohibition and labor troubles and now operates widely throughout the world.  VERY historical and western.

I have no idea of the containers used in the early days, but someone will enlighten us.

This is a thread hijack!  The bag could fit NCOWS activities, and just might find a market.

Bag looks great.
I have friends who use similar (but smaller) bags which they fill with rounds for each stage.
A strap or handle would be a good feature, and maybe you want one bag foor loaded amo & one for empty brass.

regarding comments on your bullet length, I see lots of folks doing the same for their rifle rounds. I have a .38 carbine that likes longer rounds too. I like the 147 gran bullet intended for 9mm pistols. Can seat it long & it feeds great. Works fine in revolvers, too. I've always used the standard roll crimp & am able to crimp tightly without damaging the case. Note the bullet I use has no crimp groove.

Period containers in use to take out beer from the beer hall or saloon, etc. was a bucket.  Beer was put up in barrels and sold by the mug, glass, bucket.  If consumed on the premises the first two were used, if taken out the bucket was used.  A real high class gent would have a lid on his bucket. ;D

Yupper,
A bucket was the best way to carry brew from 'A' to 'B' back then. Since local water was not necessarily the best thing to drink, local brews were. Many Saloons that had their own brewery had young boys willing to make a few bucks daily to carry a bucket down the street to a buyer, this is a given in the Old West.
If any of you Pards recall, the bucket of beer was seen in the Kevin Kostner version of TOMBSTONE, the Earp brothers are all in Tombstone, setting outside back of Wyatt's house in a sorta porch with a table, inside a vertical stick wall and a young boy shows up with a bucket of brew which they all dip a cup into.
This concept has been used at many new venues to carry on the historical tradition and offer an different way to enjoy the beverage, to wit, the Iowa State Fair where a wood building looking like an Old West Saloon serves steaks and suchlike and brew in an aluminum bucket which you can keep, if you so desire, or at least that was the way they did it the last time I was there a few years back. They also offer a Hot Beef Sundae, mashed 'taters with shredded hot beef and gravy then covered with shredded cheese and topped with a Cherry 'mater, yummy! 
 Best regards and good eating and don't spill the bucket!
