To answer your question: Rossi R92
Use it and upgrade later if you desire. The rifle will always carry a value...it's not like spending $$ at a bar where your $$ ends up down the toilet.

CAS is a game with many Categories...Wild Bunch is not one of them.
They have their game...therefore they have their own forum since the vast majority of CAS do not shoot WB.

All above board and legal. None of us are shippers with Haz-mat credentials.
But you were...receiving the product. Unless I mis-read your post.
Receivers don't need HazMat certification.

You can't, period. And please don't sneak it through, as you are putting loved ones at risk. When my wife was working for FedEx, hazmat-labeled items were stored differently with special precautions. An improperly labeled hazmat shipment could cost the lives of the pilot, the driver, and the tug operator, and when bad things happen, it could cost the lives of first responders who are not expecting or prepared for hazmat materials.
Not only that, but will expose our (primer & powder), industries to more...heavier...expensive regulations.
But...jerks will still thumb their noses at the law...and for those that are doing it right now...you all are A@##34^@%$'s.

What Scout said, has to go thru a certified hazmat shipper.
Good luck!
Finding a shipper that has a HazMat certification that would be willing to ship your items...assuming a rather small shipment, would cost a bunch! Generally HazMat shippers don't deal with the general public.
If one is stoopid enough to take the risk of shipping without a HazMat cert, you're risking a 5 digit kinda fine plus! If anything went wrong with the shipment yer screwed financially.
And I love the "Law and Order" hounds on forums like this and others that bitch about this law and say they ship their primers/powders anyway...and simply ignore the laws.

I think he sells them on Amazon as: Chuckwalla's Competition Shooting School - Reloading Powder Measure Vibrator, Powder Shaker
Question:
If he's your son, wouldn't you "know" rather than "think" he sells them on Amazon?
If he's not your son...then...never mind. But if he is your son...isn't this whole post rather deceptive...kinda manipulating??

I just usually go for more velocity and down range oomph.
Yer shooting steel...many times with overhead cover.
Velocity beats the crap outta lower quality steel which may be the only steel that a club can afford. The more db's you generate does nothing for the game...but damages the hell out of folk's hearing.
Match your rounds to the purpose at hand rather than some weird desire to beat one's chest.
Also, decreasing felt recoil decreases split times up to a point. After which the decreased recoil actually increases split times.

The first year is more because you receive your badge, etc. Unfortunately, I don't recall the exact amounts of the first year's membership as compared to renewals after that. As Chief Rick advised, call the office. They will explain it all to you.
Welcome to the SASS family.It's $80/year now...best of my knowledge.

I would hesitate to use that since brass on the ground belongs to the club, as I understand, and I don't know when/where I could replace it.
I would say that this "club" is crappy...find another one...if they indeed think the brass is theirs.

Phantom,
How are you defining “valuable”?I was joking...since I don't believe Remington owned Marlin in 2009...all will have the JM proof marks.

I know another Pard that uses HyTek coated with full BP loads. Do you have any issues with fouling in the rifle? I use Deparado Cowboy bullets in my pistols, but have been using Big Lubes in the rifle and go six stages without issue or doing anything. Appologies if this question is a hijack!
Okay...I kinda wasn't 100% truthful.
I use 777 in rifle. I can easily run 12 stages without cleaning. Just a little Ballistol on the breech after each stage.
BP in my revolvers and SG. A little ballistol on the cylinder gap and down the barrel of each revolver after each stage...can run well over 12 stages without cleaning.

Phantom,
Do you use the powder or the liquid hitek?
I buy the bullets complete. Not smart enough nor have the time to make my own. 😜

Keep it, you will need when you start shooting Black Powder Cartridge categories if you want to shoot real Black Powder. If you decide to shoot one of the Black Powder subs like APP or Shooter's World Black they are compatible with smokeless bullets.
Dang...all these years I've been using standard 125gr boolits with Hy-Tek coating and real BP.
Why hasn't anyone told me I'm doing it all wrong?

It’s noted in a couple of the earlier posts in this thread that this is the product of a fellow SASS shooter!! Not exactly a reason to buy, but certainly a plus if you’re in the market for something to do this job!!
I believe it's Palo Verde's son...don't think he has shot CAS in a very long time.
I'm sure Palo Verde will probably chime in on this.

The 1894CB's that are not "JM" stamped are the valuable ones.

Generally ends on the second Saturday of October...which of course is the first day of First Rifle Elk season... 😞

Solid match!
Would suggest (did suggest), increasing the height of the cross on stage one so that the horizonal member is much higher. That'll make it a bit nicer for shorter folks. Also would have a couple of brass pickers/buckets at each stage.
Well done OTM's!

I also got to meet @Phantom, SASS #54973 and was devastated to find he was taller than me AND outshot me.
It was great meeting you and your wife (was your wife...right? ☺️). She's very nice...but she's gotta learn to stop leaving her guns everywhere 🤪

This was invented by the Chuckwalla Kid, SASS 2007 Overall World Champion, and runs a Competition shooting school.
And he's your son...isn't he??

More modern than hammer-welded barrels, but well before modern mass production.
Dug into the rules again and from page 26 looks like magazine loading (2 rounds) is OK. Dropping them in the port sure looks to be more fun.
"- Pump and lever action shotguns are not allowed to load more than two live rounds
at a time in the main match stages unless specified in the stage description. In
team events, shotguns may be loaded to their maximum magazine capacity."
Good lord...

I had to look it up. Probably some are street legal if they have the proper requirements, but "I don't think" they are allowed as a gun cart at this match because not enough room on the range, if that was your question.
Can't speak for the board, but when I was around we always made allowances for those with medical needs.

Break the 170, SDQ. It doesn't matter if breaks 170 vertically or horizontally. I got a SDQ for vertically breaking the 170 while carrying my rifle to the next prop to set it down before shooting my shotgun.
.
So in this case, there is absolutely no way of knowing the condition (loaded / unloaded), of your rifle...so I'll ask you since the same question that the other person refuses to answer: If a shooter is 2 steps from the ULT and their SG closes, will you SDQ them for taking those 2 steps to the ULT with the closed SG?

i have no idea if they are street legal. Not even sure what you are asking. Do you want to walk down the street carrying one? It is Texas so not sure if anything isn't street legal but I can't say for sure.
