If they're crushed or muddy, I throw them out. If they're a little dusty, I wipe them off with my hand. Otherwise I just reload them. Nothing special.

Interested in starting, but have questions.
German Jim replied to Poncho Griswold's topic in SASS Wire
FYI on your.36 caliber navy. If you want another cap gun, go for it. I shoot a '61 navy and a '73 Colt SAA .38-40.. No problem mixing calibers or revolvers. It doesn't take me long to load the navy. I make paper cartridges. All I do is drop the pre-made paper cartridges in each chamber and ram 'em home. Seems like the slowest part is capping them at the loading table. Like a dufus, I'll sometimes cap the chamber I didn't load.😖 I guess I could take the nipple off of one of the chambers, but then I'd probably end up loading that chamber. -
Exactly what I do ,.. or did. I now get mine pre-lubed.

Can someone supply me with some load data for 10 gauge black powder 3” plastic shotgun shells. What kind of wad? How much black powder? How much chilled or magnum lead shot? This will be used in an original Winchester 1901 lever shotgun manufactured in 1906.

So what y'all sayin' is "DON'T USE PYRODEX"

Driftwood, you said that the military reduced the load in the .45 to 30grains (as your photo shows). Do you know what they used as a filler? Did they just leave air space?

Anybody using a Lee Auto-Drum with Black Powder
German Jim replied to Thunder Creek Kid's topic in SASS Wire
I've been using the Lee Auto-Drum for a little over a year. It works great for both Real Black Powder and Smokeless Powder. I don't use black powder subs, so I can't comment on those. It's very accurate with smokeless, but for some reason, with black powder I will get very slight differences. Nothing that affects the load. I always get enough in the case to get slight compression. I load .45ACP and some .45 Colt with smokeless and .38WCF, .45 Schofield and some .45 Colt with Black Powder. I've never cleaned the Auto-Drum and I use the same plastic powder reservoir for both smokeless and black powder. Before I got the Lee Auto-Drum I had used the Lee Pro-Disk for about 10 years with smokeless and black powder. Never cleaned it, never a problem. The Lee Auto-Drum works as well as the Lee Disk set up if not better. For me, it's a quicker change when doing different loads. All black powder that I use is 2F. -
When I first started loading SG with BP, I would reuse the hulls and reload. After reloading, I would mark them with a black marker on the base so I would know how many times I reloaded each hull. I've had as many as six reloads, but usually because of hull condition, I would get a lot less. Now I have so many once fired hulls that I chuck them after shooting. The same with my smokeless rounds. Once fired, I chuck them. I usually collect more once fired hulls from other shooters than I shoot at each match.

SASS Management - I think y'all need to fix this
German Jim replied to Pat Riot's topic in SASS Wire
Ms. Mo, I did just that (Google "single action shooting society) and clicked on the first 7 links listed and I had no problem. I also went to all of Pat Riot's links in his original post and had no problem. Everything appeared to work fine. I always got into the SASS website. I don't know......maybe I don't understand the problem. -
No, you can't Do you have one? I still have the original box and receipt and I think the papers that came in the box.

What information do you put on the labels of your bullet boxes?
German Jim replied to John Boy's topic in SASS Wire
I label my ammo boxes with: 1. Nothing 2. Nada 3. Zilch -
Not Hardly.

I had no problem. Closed my browser (Firefox) and started back up, typed in www.sassnet.com and viola! Went right to SASS. Clicked on SASS Wire Forum and went right in.

Just when I thought she (my wife) had chosen her irons...
German Jim replied to Kokak d' Frog 's topic in SASS Wire
OK, I understand now. -
I think Forty Rod was talking about Wayne getting shot in the back and not Bruce Dern. I think Wayne got shot in the back in "Sands of Iwo Jima"

How 'bout with no holster and the original box?

How many SASS competitors are using original Colt SAA's?
German Jim replied to NewHampshireTom's topic in SASS Wire
I shoot two Colt's revolvers. Both in .38 WCF. One is 7 /12" and the other is 5 3/4". They're fed nothing but Black Powder ammunition. -
Funny thing is I've had my hearing checked a couple of times (but not recently) and the doctor said my hearing was OK, but I still can't hear my wife!
