    I balk at primers costing $100 and up. 

    The meaning of CATEGORY is any of several fundamental and distinct classes to which.......
    But let's not quibble.

    Guess yer right...just never seen "Classes" used to define our...categories. Don't think the word "Classes" is used in any of the Hanbooks.

     

    This is a new shooter that is entering this game/sport. I wanted to make sure that they don't start off using the wrong verbiage.

     

    Current Dealer cost on Pistol Primers (non-match), is about $65/1000. Currently you can get Pistol Primers for under $100.

    Check the SASS rulebook which will explain the various classes and requirements. One thing to consider is that Large Pistol Primers have been scarce and expensive which may or may not continue.

    We call them "Categories", not "Classes".

     

    LP Primers are not terribly hard to get.

    IMHO, the guns to "buy once, cry once" are -  Rifle: Uberti 1873 - Revolvers: Ruger Vaquero's or Bisley's - Shotgun: CZ Sharptail or a non-worn out SKB or Browning BSS. All with action work and modifications. 

     

    'Buy Once, Cry Once Equipment".

    Holsters: Mernickle HP1 Starter kit which includes everything you'll need.

    Cart: Rugged Gear - easy to push around. Or a quality wood cart.

    Reloading: Dillon Precision Press or Hornady Lock-N-Load Progressive

    Costume: Jeans, button up long sleeve shirt and SASS approved boots. You'll want a hat with a brim to keep the hot brass from the 1873 going down your shirt. Many here can testify to that. Build you costume after you spent a little time in the game and build your own persona. Minimal or maximum costuming is purely a personal choice.

     

    Hope this helps.

    I knows his sh...stuff.

    OK, so let's get it back on track!

     

    Who have you missed dearly, other than me?

     

    I miss the people that have died 

     

    I miss shooting with many folks

    Howdy there, Gold Canyon Kid!

    Hope you're doing great!

    I'm in Arizona too!

    Where do you shoot?

    Maybe I can come to a match and say hi! We can even shoot on the same posse!

    Is 1 April your birthday?
