Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474

I have enough primers to keep shooting, so, I'm holding off buying any primers for now. In my view, we should start to see further drops in price and supply increase over the next year, if the past year is indicative. YMMV.

I'd still use TB or CLAYS if I could find it Maybe some day, when they don't want my kidney and my First Born. I'll be dismantling some .45-70s loaded with TB, UNIQUE and VARGET over the winter and salvaging the powder, since selling off some of the herd of ..45-70s I had.

Prayers heading south from this side of the Medicine Line.

Wonderful actress.

Good point!

Is it chipped?

SO, how did it work in practice?

Ya looks like a Townie, not a cowboy! C.L.Kid GOFWG #141

I switched to Cowboy.45 Specials in my SAAs only for now. I was just a little apprehensive, looking into the Titegroup that looked lost in the bottom of the .45 Colt case. I'm saving the last of my CLAYS and TB for the rifle. I did find the C45S left a ring inside the chamber cylinders of my SAAs that would not allow me to them chamber a .45 Colt cartridge. However, a couple of quick passes with a cylinder hone cleaned it out. YMMD

I often have a couple of straight Irish or some wine, usually cold Riesling, alone, reading and/or sitting in the shade, on the deck.

Hodgdon has loads for .38 Short Colt driving 93 and 135 grain bullets using HP-38 and Titegroup. Maybe you can work something out from that data, keeping things on the low side. I've used the data from .45 ACP to load .45 Cowboy Special, keeping on the lower end of the charge range. YMMV

Shooting .22's on an indoor range, lady near me ejected a mis-fired ,22LR. When it hit the floor it popped and the case hit the fellow next position over, in the ankle. He was wearing jeans and had his winter outdoor boots on, but there was a bit of brass stuck in the boot. Weird. We were fairly certain if it was a delayed ignition, not from hitting the floor, since the batch we sold at the range had a couple of squibs and one I was shooting cleared the barrel and at 20 yards indoors, you could see the bullet in flight, dropping like a stone and something else behind it that flared partway down the range. Bullet never made it to the backstop. CIL/Dominion rep gave took away what we had remaining and gave us a new case from a different lot number.
