Agree with this. Highly corrosive.

I put dirty hulls in a 5 gallon bucket of water with a squirt of Dawn liquid soap, agitate, rinse and repeat until dirt are off, then I laid them out in the sun to dry for at least a couple of days. Wife won't let me use the dishwasher nor the washing machine to wash the hulls nor she would let me use the dryer as it makes too much noise when turning, so I am stuck with a 5 gallon bucket. 😏

+++111, My bullets don't carry enough lube so I use grease cookies and I can go through 6 stages without cleaning in between. I use 2F real BP for all my loadings.

Wish you good health, pard. Take care both you and the missus.

Congrats, Seamus. Nicely done. See you and Kay in a couple weeks at The Last Stand.

Way to go Jace. Congrats. Always have a pleasure of shooting with this young man at our monthly shoot.

If she wants more smoke, it's a good idea to use APP as this is the characteristic of this substitute. More real BP will produce more recoil and more flame, especially on large pistol cases such as 44-40, but the flame and boom is awesome.😎

If loading real BP, you just need to leave some space for the bullet base to compress the powder about 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. If fully filling the 32 mag. case to the case mouth may bulge your brass after the bullet is seated and crimped. If loading substitute like APP, very light compression to no air space is needed between the powder and bullet base. Hope this help, be safe and good luck.

I think what he was saying is that as he pull the trigger, the hammer begins to move back as if cocking it similar to a double action revolver. I think that's what he's saying.

Great news. I have never attended EOT nor Land Run due to work schedule and life events and now that I am retired, I will be able to attend Land Run this year and EOT in 2028. It will be much closer and a shorter distance to drive from Florida.

This may work also.😁

Better yet, The Last Stand Florida State is coming up, and you might be able to sign up if there a slot for you and the missus. Don't have to wait for warmer weather there up north and come on down to Florida for some sunshine and warmer weather. Glad your much all set up for that big match. Good luck and have fun for the new season of hooting and hollering cowboy fun. Hope to see you down the trail.

Just a suggestion, you can sand that area of the thumb rest where wood is protruding past the receiver flush. It seems that there's extra wood to facilitate the thumb rest that you can sand it down. Normally on a Colt clone the grip panel is flush with the receiver (see pic). Just a suggestion.

Pics would greatly help.

Here is what I made and mounted on my gun cart. First pic mounted on gun cart and the second pic with holster strap to keep pistols secured. Works really good really easy to make with leather I have laying around.
