Okay these have poo pooed so no worries 😌

according to one of the articles in one of those links, SAMMI chamber specs are adhered to, but as for 'throat' (or free bore length) of some barrels, especially those made outside of the USA, SAMMI has no control. And of course, my CZ pistol has the shortest throat, which is making me seat bullets to shorter OAL, depending upon bullet style. And my two favorite bullets are both HP style. One is the Sierra 125 grain HP and the other is the NOSLER 124 grain 'ASP' style bullet. And get this......... both bullets are .548 in length but because their design is slightly different, the OAL of each has to be a little different from one another. Again, those links posted by Stump Water are VERY helpful and I now realize that other folks have experienced the same issues. ..........Widder

Looks like we are saying the same thing. I was responding to those who thought any member of the peanut gallery could assign a penalty to the shooter. The peanut gallery can politely bring observations to the attention of the TO. The TO then decides if an infraction occurred, or if the angle and/or perspective of the peanut gallery member just made it appear that an infraction occurred. The Timer Operators that I know work very hard to be fair, follow all SASS rules while "Safely Assisting The Shooter Through The Course of Fire". They don't need or deserve to have spectators upsetting shooters by trying to assess penalties.

I've had a few do that. We're not supposed to get political here, and sometimes I do. I got no qualm with the Moderators over it. If I think that maybe I'm going to far, I'll even say that if they need to remove it, feel free to do so. SOMEBODY'S got to try to keep us civilized around here.

Ah, I understand now. I thought perhaps a step in the manufacturing process was skipped. Thanks.

On the serious side; improper grip or positioning a long gun on your shoulder, jerking the trigger, swinging past the target, poor stance, trying to go too fast.

Howdy PR. How do I ask them to 'fix' something that is within their normal, approved manufacturing standards? I read a lot of the information on those links provided by Stump Water, and although SAMMI standards are used by ALL gun manufacturers for 'chamber dimensions', the 'throat' length (or free bore area) beyond the chamber is left up to the manufacturer because SAMMI does not have specific specifications for the 'throat'. (free bore). ..........Widder

Man, wish this was a 38-55, I'd have been all over it. Free Bump anyway.

Im out of the loop did we adopt a new rifle or something? Why are they opening a new plant just to produce one caliber?

So have I. That's how I found out my card was expiring. Walked up to the window, showed him my card, he took a picture, a signed a document, he took my picture and pushed a button on his computator thingy. I'm good to go for 45 days and should get my new card before that. Not counting the time to walk to and from my car, 19 minutes.

I doubt it. I never was a rookie. I was born broken in, pre-armored and armed, and ready to romp and stomp.

Got one ordered, thanks for the help

Double hot Italian sausage, double pepperoni, onion, mushrooms, and extra cheese!! Cracker thin crust, please…

I need one of those like Custer needed more Indians.

Fruit jars ‘n’ rockin’ chairs!!

I would ride home with front brake only. I wouldn’t want to make a habit of it. Years ago a friend of mine would only use his rear brakes. He was afraid to use the front brakes. One day his rear brake faded on a long downhill. He learned how to use his front brake that day.

Lots of gold / silver / etc. had lots offolks who showed up "to mine the miners". One of the most famous was Levi Strauss. Studebaker was another. (Did you know they made wheel barrows?

I recently had one of my posts right here in the Saloon just up and vanish. Guess I p-----d in someone's soup.

Used to see them a lot in the norther Utah, southern Idaho area. Haven't been back up there at the right time since 1970. Where do we look for the comet?

My wife and I shot lever action rifle this year. There were two sighters this year. We shot off cross sticks on benches. Most shot the left and middle banks of targets as the number three target on the right bank had a shadow behind it and there was poor contrast between the target and the background. My wife loved seeing her targets tip over at 200 meters. She and our 30-30 Marlin performed well.

I have one of these around here somewhere. When you get enough in a row they give you a "life" membership, which I am currently working on! Regards Gateway Kid

I warned you about spitting on church grounds. Now see what you did!!

So three pages to realize if a shooter that is watching in the peanut gallery and no one else sees an alleged violation nothing happens unless the person shooting calls it on himself. Nothing new here right?
