  1. Don’t get me wrong, I think this years EOT from a target size, distance, spacing and scenarios was one of the BEST! Just felt the set up and space to stage 2 firearms was tight on one stage and if think about it, tough for a left handed from the other side also. Overall outstanding event!! Great job by all the rangers!
  2. Stage direction said “stage guns anywhere safely”, but Posse Marshal said all guns flat on table.
  3. Had the pleasure to posse with Jace, Great shooter and great kid!! Congrats!
  4. Not enough room on the table for a right handed shooter shooting a double. The way the double bends made it in my opinion a disadvantage for double shooter and possible issue on 11 it could have been a start with rifle in hands and restage vertically and would have been better or move the board back farther forward on the table and make it taller if want it safer. JMHO
  5. It had no problem with a truncated cone 105 gn 38. Pulled it up, turned the bar to tighten, and then a quick jerk down. I found the quick jerk down was key. If u just slowly lowered it, it may not grab. I day worked about 97% of the time on that bullet shape
  6. I just got done pulling about 1000 rounds ( about 7-8 years of bad rounds, (I use a Dillon primer tube filler so sometimes upside down). Just kept throwing them in a bin for years because the impact puller is such a pain. I bought the rcbs buller puller die. Fits into a loader ( I have an old single stage Lee) I was pulling 105 grn 38’s and it worked great!!! recovered brass and all powder and most of the old bullets ( put into practice ammo). Would highly recommend. 5x to 10x faster than the impact hammer method. https://www.rcbs.com/dies-and-shell-holders/bullet-pulling/standard-bullet-puller-without-collet/16-9440.html then order correct caliber collet
  7. tried to send you PM about GM200's but says can send you messages.
  8. All the thanks goes to my TG, Turkey Bob!!!!! I just bought the powder, he did all the work!! LOL
  9. The Rockriver Regulators have done a lot of work over the past few years to make the club and the matches there amazing!! Turkey Legs and the team there really know how to put on a great match, We'll be there!!! This is one to add to your list!!!
  10. As I start to run out of my favorite Shotshell powder Clays, and refuse to pay the $40plus price per pound for Claydot where available, I did some searching a few months ago and bought some Hodgdon Perfect Pattern powder as it had some loads listed that may make it a good alternative for cowboy shotgun powder. PLUS IT SELLS FOR ABOUT $27 PER POUND if you buy 8# from like powdervalley, but I also just picked up another 8#er at Sportsman's Warehouse for about the same price. I asked my good friend and club TG, Turkey Bob to do some test loads as I drove off to sunny Arizona and left him back here in Chicago! (just trying to keep him busy in that midwestern cold weather!! LOL). Well he did a pretty comprehensive testing data along with chronographing all the loads. The results are posted below, and the conclusion is, it makes a really good cowboy round for shot shells. I've included my usual loads for comparison along with some factory rounds testing he did. I'll probably when I start loading it use the load that gets just over 900 fps, (13a) but enjoy the data and hope it helps. It's a very fine powder so uses some small bushings, but the rounds knocked down our toughest shotgun targets during testing also.
  11. EOT is what it is. For those who are shooting EOT, this is a great warm up using the range and getting used to many of the props and stages fronts used at EOT. The Rev holds a great match and it has gotten better and better every year. One not to miss if going to EOT or in the area!
  12. Or I’ve got some really nice once fired primers I could sell ya really cheap!! I’ll ship those free!!
