Will not accept payment info

I have three NRA American Rifleman binders. Each contain 12 issues of the magazine. For some reason I have 1973,75 and 76. Have no clue where 1974 went. They have been in storage for 25 years but are in pretty good shape. They are free if you pay shipping cost

Some interest in the Ruger Amt potential trafe interests?

From Driftwood:
Why not just shoot 44 Russian in them? Starline makes 44 Russian brass, I shoot it in original S&W Top Breaks all the time.
Well, we reload and shoot .44 Specials in all of our outfit's revolvers and rifles.
That's 30+ Cowboy Guns shooting the SAME caliber. I'm not wanting to mix in anything different.

Sounds like your crew has about 46.23% of the 44SP guns used in SASS competition.

Neither Is had to do both can have the number of step so if all you are proving is the labor I think 50 shot shell per two hundred hardball would be fair as that usually the ammo count for a ten stage match.
This was not really intended to be a legal, ethical, political or religious issue. Yeah, I know it is the SASS wire, so you get what you get
Thought I would respond to Blackey since he and Grizzly Dave were the ones interested in addressing the original post. BG states that both "can" have the same number of steps in the reloading process which would be so if the answer to GD's question is "comparable".Depends on what machine each is using.
So, the original question becomes, if all that's being swapped is the labor involved and the number of operations performed are the same, why isn't X=1000? The number of rounds required to shoot a match would seem to be irrelevant.

Has anyone ever worked a reciprocal agreement with another shooter where one loads a given number of rifle/pistol ammo and the other reloads shotgun ammo? This question came over me this morning while cranking out some ammo for Winter Range.
The real question is: If shooter A gives X number of brass and all the required components to shooter B and shooter B gives 1000 shotgun hulls and all the associated components to Shooter A; then they reload the hulls/brass and return.
What would be the acceptable value of "X"? I just love algebra.
-
Is Winter Range a "lost brass" match?
Just thought I would ask before loading.

Ruger returns the original parts. The conversion does not modify the gun and is reversible.
Yes, but if any of the original arts are part of the problem, then if returned to original configuration, I will still have a non-functional gun.
-
If sent back to Ruger, they will not work on it without converting it to a transfer bar system

I don't think a new shopkeeper model would add anything to my collection of Alpha Cats,
As a collector, however, I don't want anything in my collection that is not functional.
-
Recently purchased an alpha(1959) Bearcat with significant timing issues
Who would you recommend?
Self nominations welcome

Don't have time to read all of this but I did notice one comment that said something like. If you are not going to reload, you might want to reconsider the choice of .45 cal. I would come at that from a different viewpoint and say that if you do not intend to reload, you might want to reconsider that choice. Reloading equipment will pay for itself in one reloading session. Everything after that is just gravy. Starting on a budget without reloading will very quickly turn out to be a bad decision
-
Certainly no apology necessary. Never considered that you might think I was being serious
-
If ya want awards like that... bring a camara... take a picture. But... I'm not these days always thinkin right.
These days??????

I have always heard how well the 1878 is made, but when I opened mine up, it appeared that every part was made in a blacksmith shop. It was absolutely crude I may have just been the unlucky one. Wouldn't be the first time
-
The primary benefit to participation awards,as named in the OP, is that it provides one more way for shooters to associate a face with an alias; especially those thAt were on another possee

Middle Aged Crazy was kind if different

Is there more than 1 Ruger Forum? I cannot fid anything there

-

BTT for the weekend crowd. Surely there are some grip makers out there with a bushel basket full of factory takeoffs
-
Driftwood gives an excellent pair of definitions which match with common usage but beware. I have seen manufacturers exploded diagrams of the Stevens double that he posted with the extractors labeled "ejectors" 😳
YMMV
-
Thanks, but the idea is to take a Bearcat that I just bought, with a set of custom grips, back as close to original as I can
-
A couple years ago, I had a local gun store pull out one of the double cases that these things come in and offer to sell me the one he had left. He had already sold the other one.
