"Regular" threads are expressed in so many fractions of an inch. 12 inches equal 1 foot.
"Metric" threads are expressed in so many fraction of something called a "meter." It's supposed to be a little longer than a yard.
I believe "the metric system" was made up by some French guy.Actually...yer wrong (ref. Larson's post). But...what's your point?

Not a test gun or prototype.
But yes, rare as stated above. I believe all had the upside down wedge.

Strollers are for babies. Real cowboys use wooden carts.....just like in the old west.
But I do have to say, after 25 years, it is getting heavier every year.
They had Gun Carts in the Old West??

No I said he did sweep a bunch of people like I said him the previous comment to Hoss!
I responded to your last post seen on page one...obviously didn't look to see if the answer was already given...it happens.

Isn’t breaking 170 essentially sweeping everyone?
No.
You can break the 170 without sweeping someone.
If your buddy got a MDQ for breaking the 170 without sweeping anyone...he got ripped off.

If you break the 170 with a loaded gun isn’t that a MDQ??
Nope - just an SDQ.
I'm sure someone will look up the exact wording, but I believe that the violation of the 170 doesn't distinguish between "loaded" and "unloaded".

Other than the obvious violations...you know...when the revolver is pointing right at you...how often is a slight violation of the 180 called?
Not very often...

Agreed, and I don't do cross-draw. But I do promise to take a closer look. I'll be back to this and another topic, though it may be a few days. I will make well-considered posts.
There are lots of 180 violations on non-XDraw holsters...

I'll follow up on that, my newbiness considered it for all firearms and am not aware of a different rule for long guns.
Well you don't holster long guns.

I remember when the 170 degree rule was a big deal with cross draws and reholstering pistols. The ROC proposed a new way of holstering pistols. I found the old videos for those that want to learn a little SASS history. On paper and in the first video the "Circle of Safety" concept sounded good. Then when people saw the part two video it became jokingly referred to as the Cone of Death. Watch if you want otherwise skip to the next post.
I was initially against the Cone of Death...Safety...now I'm for it.
NO ONE is consistently calling slight 180 violations. If one actually called all the 180 violations they would have no one to shoot with.

Noticeably not straight up?
Not a lot, but noticeable.
Is this 10 or 5 degrees from vertical?
Phantom
-
Did the shotgun barrels point within 5 degrees from vertical???
Don't understand the question. It did or it didn't.
That said, many folk will give a warning at a monthly match if the violation isn't approaching and egregious one.

I, personally, prefer to keep my favorite places clean for the benefit of myself and my pards. Other people are obviously happy to recreate among their own detritus.
Keeping things clean...and what it is that is polluting are two separate things.
And are you sure the use of the word "detritus" is appropriate as used?

Not having to stare at plastic shot cups left by other hunters while walking up pheasants or decoying ducks is a couple of good ones. Not having to bend over and pick up shot cups on the cowboy range is another one.
You really have an...issue...with plastic wads.
Perhaps you should make peace with plastic wads.

There is no 20 Ga pump shotgun that is the right type for this. 20 ga pump shotguns are specifically banned. It is a rule you actually cannot break as no 20 ga pump is acceptable anyway.
With 20 GA lever actions they are not mentioned in the rules as not allowed because they do not exist at all in either an acceptable model or not.
If 7/8 Oz and 45 grains works I am happy with that, I just needed someone with experience to tell me that would work. I am trying to save on lead, cost of powder is not an issue for me.
I know the rules...your statement was tragically ambiguous. Hence my question.
Cheers!

Need to try my '97s
in SASS Wire
Posted
1950's...what? That's not considered "modern"?
Choosing acceptable loads are done the same way with a '97 as it is with any other SG.
Loading the magazine rules are in the rule book...some club allow stoking over the allowed SASS restrictions.
