My wife and I were married on her birthday and It was her Grandparents Golden Wedding Anniversary, my Grandfather's and Great Grandfather's birthday too. The 20th of October is a very special day for us. Oh....and this year we will celebrate our 60th anniversary!

My dentist won't do any work on me if I havn't taken my antibiotics. They actually call me about 2 hours before my appointment to remind me.

IMO, that's a right handed preferential stage setup. For a lefty using a crossdraw, they would have to move backwards to be able to draw a crossdraw pistol as they moved to that position, whereas, if you let them start on the pistols they're facing forward for the entire stage, just as you are, starting on the left. But, note, either direction is problematic for the shooter that only shoots from an isosceles stance (both feet equidistant from the firing line).

BERSERKER I felt the bullet hit. It felt like I'd just been puched, hard, deep. I did not care. This was my war and I was going to kill. My wife lay behind me with a knife hilt deep under her collar bone. The fleeing felon, the escaped prisoner who'd decked my deputy and taken his gun, the prisoner who'd twisted out of one handcuff and left a good lawman fighting for his life, turned and extended his arm at me and sprayed a desperate burst from the same sidearm I'd personally issued a good man. He hit me once and then I hit him. I grabbed hand and gun and all and I heard someone screaming and the voice was distant and it sounded like a Texas longhorn on an attack run and part of me realized it was me and I felt bone splinter as I twisted that arm and tore it out of joint and I grabbed his crotch and squeezed hard as I hauled him overhead and I SLAMMED him down against cold pavement and I recht down and grabbed belt and collar and hauled him up and SLAMMED him down again and I stomped my boot hard down between his shoulder blades and I grabbed that gun and I dropped the magazine and locked back the slide and spun it towards the first uniform I saw and I took off running. I saw the one that stabbed my wife, my Shelly, the MURDERING SON OF SATAN HIMSELF THAT JUST KILLED MY WIFE AND I'M GOING TO KILL HIM and he turned as I got to him and slashed with that same knife he'd just drove in under Shelly's collarbone and I felt steel scrape against my cheek bone and I had him and I heard that screaming again and some part of me realized that was me screaming and I hauled him off the ground and I had him by the throat and I felt it crush under my grip as I hauled him overhead and SLAMMED him down and he hit the ground and I dropped my knees onto his shoulders and I grabbed his eyelids and held his eyes wide open and I SCREAMED in his face NOBODY KILLS MY WIFE

So do I... but... I was not disappointed when I moved to the C45S in my pistols. And for what it's worth... I've loaded 28 grains of Goex Cartridge or 2F under a 200 grain RFN in my 45 Colt ammo without using a filler since 1987... initially in just my 1873 Sporting Rifle, then in my Colt SAAs when they deleted the BP category in 1989. (Airspace in a muzzleloader is detrimental to firearms... not so with cartridges).* Then back to just in the rifle with they introduced Frontiersman. I somehow got a bunch of my APP C45S loads mixed in with my smokeless inventory and shot this past Saturday. The smoke was noticeably greater, but not the recoil. 160 grain RFN pills. * Note: According to my unscientific testing. A patched round ball in the barrel of a muzzleloader with an air gap between the powder charge and the ball is, ( or can very well be) an obstruction, possibly (or likely) causing a "ringed" barrel, depending of how much of a gap, how long its been sitting there, whether spit or grease lubed. (According to conventional wisdom, which I'll not dispute). A lubed bullet inside a brass case is not necessarily the same obstruction. Even a crimped bullet of nominal size has room to move, opening the crimp and jump to the rifling at the initiation of combustion, creating a space before engaging the rifling, making room for the expanding gas to continue pushing at the bullet until it either passes the cylinder gap or exits the barrel. But, whatever you do, don't let my unscientific findings keep you from continuing to use full loads or fillers. Yes, Larsen, grits are for eating. White or brown sugar are the best flavorings!

How to install Lee measure.

The antibiotics are a good way to stay on top of any infection or work that could cause it. I have a bottle that I keep for any dental work or anything that could possibly cause an infection. I got my first knee replacement in 2007 and my second one in 2017 and I still take Amoxicillin before any type of work is done just to be safe. Doctor keeps me supplied with a bottle of 20 at most times since I have to take 4 for each dental visit, etc. TM

Corrected post. Grits on the left. Yes everything is automatic. I am lazy. Powder measure is a Lee. P.S. BP filler is the only thing Grits are good for. I understand some people actually eat the stuff! But then some people think Ballistol is a spray on deordorant.

My birthday is Christmas Eve. I've grown used to it after all these years. True story. Uno is a master at procrastinating. For the first several years we were together, he would take off early on Christmas Eve to do the shopping for his family, bring everything home late in the day, dump it all on the floor and say "well, we've got a lot of wrapping to do". We had to rush and wrap everything before rushing up to his parents house for Christmas eve dinner. I finally put a stop to that. Not only was I tired of it but his mom grew tired of making dinner Christmas Eve, then again on Christmas night.

Yes, teeth extractions or any type of work on them is dangerous for an infection. I have to take 4 Amoxicillin tabs an hour before I go to have any dental work done. Good luck on your future replacement. I have both of mine done and the first was is better than the second one. The newest and greatest isn't as good as my first one in my opinion. TM

My wife was shooting 1.6cc 3Fg APP with .7cc of cream of wheat under a 180gr bullet in the rifle at Chapman this past weekend. My only thing about that is the action gummed up way too much. I’m going to experiment with either annealing the 45 colt cases or getting a carrier for the rifle. She was also shooting 45 cowboy specials loaded with 1cc of 3Fg APP under a 180gr bullet in her pistols… that were also shot gunfighter.

Does the cream of wheat autodrop or do you have to hand cycle it? Which powder measure is that?

BP or sub on the right. Grits on the left.

You can always trim a bunch of them shorter I know of a few people who are adding cream of wheat on top of their black powder. This should start at 14:02 for the trimming, though you may want to start earlier for an explanation on why he trimmed them a little extra short.

Great time, great match. Thanks to all. See ya at the regional.

that sounds about right. I have had both of mine done and was told to always keep an eye out for any infection on my body because it could drift down to one of the knees. Anytime I have a serious infection or think I do my doctor has me call and make an appt so he can take an xray and check it out. I don't even have to wait for an appt, he gets me in ASAP. He treats infections as a priority over everything else. He basically said what you are going through would be the process. Current knee would be removed, some type of filler would go in until all the infection was gone and then a total new knee replacement. It was my understanding you will basically just go through the same steps you did when you got the first replacement. PT and exercise. Not much changes from the first time to the second time. TM

The shoulder end has had a couple inch’s cut off to accommodate a shooter that needs a shorter LOP.

Finally giving up the black and white tv? LOL TM

I am right handed and will be happy if every stage goes like this: Start with shotgun on the left side, so I can restart if I fumble shells. Then rifle in the middle, then pistols on the right so I can pull the crossdraw on the way, and then set the first gun on the prop after shooting it. What's so hard about that?
