But Cliff. You can shoot multiple SASS classes with the same pair of six guns. C&B is a class, but so is frontier cartridge and frontier cartridge duelist and now we have frontier cartridge gunfighter too. Shooting the same guns and same load gives you a big choice of classes to shoot. A lot of other classes that normally you see smokeless powder shooting, you can still shoot with black powder, like B western, classic cowboy and the others.
Now if you spent good money to have your ROAs tuned up and you like the feel and the weight, conversions make sense, although I admit they are not cheap. I have my main match ROAs and if you figured in the converters, then I guess I have near a grand in each one, but I have been shooting them many years and the cost per match is decreasing all the time, so my investment is now starting to look good on paper, plus I just plain like them, even if they are not period correct actually. If I could only have one set of six shooters, Heaven forbid, I would opt to shoot only the ROAs, but that is just me and I have a couple pairs of regular Rugers besides, still I favor the heavier ROAs.
Frenchie, don't forget that Ruger Old Army revolvers are going up in value all the time. They haven't made one in what 5 years. Keep it and sell it when you absolutely need to. I think if you were to shoot only the conversions that in short time you would get used to a heavy bullet and adjust your sights accordingly.
