    Howdy Rye ;

    We need  to talk about pricing on these pins , it has been suggested 5 bucks each fine ,,, As on a order that price includes $39.95 for shipping for 15 pins ... I see no need to tack on an extra 15 bucks for Shipping, to Canada . Unless this is let's stick it to the Canucks  move ... I will gladly pay the 5 bucks per pin for lots of 15 pins drop shipped to me , it shouldn't  cost more than $15.00 or $20.00 bucks ... And our group can pocket a extra $ 1.50 +  per pin ... But if we really wanted to be fair Canadians you could help me keep the costs down for our Northern Pards, we could charge me $ 65.00 Shipped  to my location Sans bubble wrap and envelopes and still retain a larger profit for the Pistoleros' ... Then I could sell them at $5.00 bucks US to the Canadian pards ,I would not be making any money but that was never my intent...  Nor did I think it was ever the Intent of the group ....  I will however not try and sell these pins at 10 bucks each because of  extra shipping aqdded on top of shipping....

      I think you'd better send an email to Dorado, he's in charge of ordering the pins and he never said anything to me about you Canuks!! I have no idea what shipping is to Canada!

    With Rank Points shooting FC you can beat a fellow FC shooter by 20 seconds TT And beat him on 7 of 10 stages having fewer misses and still get beat by him .... Please tell me how that is even the slightest bit fair ... Jabez Cowboy

      Yeah I'm still kicking and stirring up some BP heavy loads.  I've scaled back to about 2 shoots a month tho due to dad's poor health and my older brother's health as well.  I'm taking care of both farms and my household plus a full time job so takes up lots of energy.  I'd love to get up there but right now is only a dream.  I did make it to EOT in 2014.   I try to make some local annuals and our state matches for sure.  SASS Forums don't seem to be as active or as exciting as they used to be unfortunately.

    I'm a hopeing for one in .38 WCF... I know Dream on ... I would settle for one in .44 special ... Jabez Cowboy
  6. Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129
    Up here .38-40 Cost about 175 dollars per hundred to buy ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, For smokieless... For $1.75 Canadian per shot... If I buy bullets from local caster and load with Goex 3F my per Shot cost is 27 cents .... Smokeless loads buying bullets my cost per shot is 15.25 cents ... If I cast and lube my own and load using Goex 3F I can get the cost down to just under 20 cents per shot ... This is for full case loads of powder ..... No added substances .... Jabez Cowboy

    Well over half of my local club members travel to major out of Province ( think State ) Matches and over 20% have shot WR .... So clubs are not all the same and Neither are their Members , the member in Question seem like an experienced shooter so I say let him have some fun ... I admit I have though of trying the same thing ... Jabez Cowboy
  8. Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129
    The cost of casting needs to include fuel , and bullet lube adds too ... I have several tons of free lead,,,,, but I burned a gallon of gas to pick it up ,,,, so it's Cheap not Free... And when I'm casting ,,, I'm not making money fixing Guns .... So cast Bullets ain't free but sure CAN be worth doing ... Long-range bullets and those for FCD come to mind ... Jabez Cowboy

    .40-65 ,,, All the reach of the .45-70 ,,,, less wind-drift ,,,, flatter shooting ,,,, and less recoil .... Far more capable than the .38-55 .... That said I do like the .38-55 in lever guns .... I own 2. I haven't shot my .45-70 since I got my .40-65 up and running ... Jabez Cowboy

    My loads in .45 colt 5 1/2 barrel 960 fps. ,, 20 inch Uberti 66 1,240 Fps. ,, 20 inch Winchester 94 1,268 Fps. ,,, 24 in 92 1,280 Fps. This same load Clocks in at 1,024 Fps. in my first Gen.

Same load in First Gen Colt 7 1/2 barrel 1,034 Fps. NOT used for SASS ... All these load Velocities can also be reached with the original Powder , for use in FCD .... Jabez Cowboy
  16. Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129
    Head-space and Chambering are independent of firearm type and are done to SAMMI specs... Barrel length and cylinder gap are a factor in Velocity with the former having the greater effect ... A good load for Cowboy in your revolvers will be just fine in your rifle .... Hope this helps ... Jabez Cowboy

    One Classy Family ,,,, I'm proud to have shot with some of these fine folks ... May GOD Bless and Keep you in your time of loss ... I'll send a prayer up ,on a cloud of smoke for you all ... Jabez Cowboy

    How my Grandad done It ... How I do It .... Brace of Open-Tops in .44 ,,, 1866 in .38 WCF. and a hammered 16 ga. Shotgun ... May Cabin fever take the day ... Jabez Cowboy
  19. Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129
    Pards; First of the more empty space in the case the more effected it is by low temps... Loads that fail to reach the designed pressure range of the powder in question the more it is effected. Widder ; Changing to a Mag. primer if you leave the rest of the load the same can act like adding 2 tenths of a grain of powder ... Full Case loads of Real Blackpowder shoot about the same no matter the Temp Range ... Jabez Cowboy

    I am seeing less and less Cross Draws up here in Canada , and more Gunfighters .... I think the peak of the Cross Draw usage up here was about 15 years ago ... Happy New Year ... Jabez Cowboy
