Possum Skinner, SASS#60697

Federals for pistol and rifle unless somebody finds something cheaper that is as reliable. I’ll pay the price I have to. Appreciate you having them available.

Pretty gun!

Are you willing to have your competition's last shot(s) missed on one or more stages at the national or world championships? Are you willing to bet your placement at any match on another posse's TO catching your competition's last shot(s) every time? When I was fortunate enough to win gunfighter at EOT in 2010, the difference between first and third was about a second. If we'd had a rifle last stage that 2nd or 3rd place's TO had missed just a couple of shots it could easily have denied me the win. And I've seen categories won by hundredths of a second.

Hoss, What's the cartridge in the hole for?

And that's assuming the timer operator NOTICES that they didn't pick up the last shot(s).

I'm glad this was brought up for discussion again. I don't like doing things a certain way just because they've been being done that way. However, I think in this case there's plenty of reason to keep on the way we've been doing it.

.32 caliber ammunition can have bullets as light as 78 gr. Since some were already running them, they wanted to accommodate them.

Current minimum power factor is 60, so I'd say they were over-achieving.

I'm pretty sure he meant closest match (score-wise) I beat myself at CAC by .2 seconds last year...

Missing even one rifle shot (if it is last) could change results. It’s just not worth taking the chance. I do write scenarios with rifle last at our local once in a while, but would never do it at an annual.

According to Hodgdon's Reloading Data Center 3.2gr of Titegroup with a 125gr bullet gives you 856 fps. = 107 power factor. Or a 90gr with 3.0 = 755 fps which equals 67.9 power factor. Minimum required power factor is 60.

I’ve seen it done with no negatives other than the labor.

It was fun shooting with y’all, Houston.

Thank you everyone. It is a huge honor!

Thank you all! It was a great compliment to be asked to serve on the council and my honor to do so. My HUGE congratulations go out to Scarlett! I have every confidence she will do a phenomenal job. Possum
