  1. Glad you had great experiences C.J. There are times when you call a Hotel and are no aware your not actually talking to the Hotel. Third Party boiler room. After being scammed I won't book with other than the actual hotel front desk.
  2. I always set up at a table behind the peanut gallery. Pull 'em out pointing at the parking lot and took 'em apart for the loading press. Never had a problem. Cap ONLY at the loading table. With a loading stand on your kart, just move your kart behind the peanut gallery and turn you back on the unwashed masses whilst your pistols are "out."
  3. Hi Ya Nimrod57 Just to be a nuisance, but to help ya out a little, there is NO SUCH THING as 45 LC. There is not and NEVER was a 45 LONG COLT. The correct terminology is 45 Colt. Now, a real simple recipe is to load APP to the base of the bullet. Any bullet. Just keep in mind, there is not only a vast difference in Power Factor, there is also a vast difference in felt/actual recoil as projectile weight increases. Physics. Further, I would also suggest availing yourself of Lymans latest cast bullet loading Manuel. The only load data I trust is that which I work up myself.
  4. "IF" this is anything like getting caught by a "third Party" booking agency for a Hotel Room, RUN LIKE HELL. I've be caught twice in that hotel trap when I needed to cancel and getting my refund was a nightmare. Third Parties tap your credit cards in advance of your stay, NOT at checkout. They even tried to show me as having "Checked Out" as if I stayed there. Scam City.
  5. I have a couple of lightly used ZipLoc bags I can send ya!!
  6. I resolved this issue several seasons ago. A shoot APP in EVERYTHING. After all, Scarlett Knows Best you betcha!!
  7. Since I don't pickup and shoot range brass, it's basically a non-issue.
  8. Neither. I have the Short Term Memory of a Gnat. A very small flighty Gnat. If I don't write it down, it's almost instantly lost forever.
  9. Hy Ya Griff!! Absolumondo!! I don't even like to think back to the amount of time it took to make 500 .45 Special cases from 45 colt. Nor do I want to remember making 500 .45 Squirt from 45 Schofield. I made somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 each, Spl. and Squirt. Never again. I currently have around 2 or 3 thousand Starline on hand and do not anticipate EVER needing to DIY. Ever.
  10. Oh YUM!!!
  11. Well, not quite. Many Lustrum ago, During the time frame Adirondack Jack and I were developing short .45s, cutting down 45 Colt and 45 Schofield (I did Schofield) to 45 ACP length was the only way to get those short cases. Very time consuming. I used my Lathe and a Forster Case Trimmer (for 'lectric drill motor). I made several thousand. Boring. Then AJ went to Starline to ask for a commercial version. Starline said OK, but that custom head stamp is gonna cost ya. AJ took a great leap of faith and agreed, bought FIFTY THOUSAND cases stamped Cowboy 45 Special. Gambled he could sell enough to at least break even. AJ was successful and ordered another batch. Then Medical problems reared an ugly head and AJ sold the business. Starline continues to produce the Cowboy 45 Special to this day. AJ also developed the Carrier Block for the Toggle Link Rifles in concert with Bill English of the Smith Shop as well as designed the .45 Barnstormer Bullet. ALL of which are great additions to Our Game. With the C45S commercially available, I would never again spend that kind of time to make those cases DIY. Doesn't make good sense (to me anyway). I haven't talked to AJ in several years. Wonder how he's doing these days.
  12. I found the simplest solution to Windows many years ago. It's called "MAC"
  13. PLUS ONE for Everybody!! Atz a really nice conversion. Conversions ROCK!!
  14. Absolutely INSANE!! Head First!! On a flexi flyer sled, 70 - 80 MPH with NO BRAKES!! WOWZERS!! Not ME fer sure!! Oops. Wrong Forum. should move to Saloon
  15. And the original post specifically referred to "Revolvers??" Why did long guns get into the equation??
