Rev Willy Dunkum, SASS # 61027

My first pistol when I turned legal age was a single action RG 22 LR. I got it home and realized what a piece of junk it was. Unsafe from either end. Not even worth as a poor boat anchor.

I'll be back, I'll bring another shooter as well, or two.

This last Saturday was 5 stages but heat and humidity didn't help any. I was ready to call it quits at 4 stages. What's your preference on 3 bullet weight? 90 gr?

I too, like things that begin with 44 and also considered downloading to 44 Special, 44 Russian etc and even have a couple of Ruger 32's my wife never shot. I suppose that's my next move. I was hoping to see I could manage the local match well enough to do a 3 day annual or state match. Thanks for responding to that. It may take a bit of planning ahead what I can and can't do. In the end, its still all about the fun.

I finished up a local Saturday match, my first for the year after having some health issues. I shot FCGF warthog and figured I would have issues from a long return (and I did) but 2 weeks after cataract surgery, getting arthritis in my fingers and bad hips are making it difficult to see front sights, squeezing triggers and holding onto guns and getting around . I made sure I moved slow and safely but I was sure glad when the match ended. I cannot say enough good about the people in SASS! They are all accomodating, helping at every available moment, retrieving a rifle, ammo at the loading table, providing water, watching out for each other. You're the best. Anyone else have to make age adjustments? The last two years have really slowed me down. I may have to rethink my category to just Old Fart.

Prayers up for little Zyon. Wow, I'll put him on the list.

I asked my active duty USAF sons about their take on the M18's and the directive, They tell me they prefer the Beretta to the M18 but currently have not had any personal issue with the M18. However they all agree they would not want to be the responsible party to have one go off and injure one of their team mates. It does not appear it to be mishandling of the weapon, ie operator error, nor with a holster/unholster design problem. there is enough of an immediate issue to ground these pistols immediately.

Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut for every day useage.

I melt scrap lead and plumbers lead in a separate steel pot and pour into ingots for the bottom pour lead pot. (stars and round ingots for pure lead, Lyman and RCBS ingots for bullet lead) If you melt your scrap in the bottom pour, you'll only do it once. That aggravation is a tough teacher.

Blackwater, sent you a message back. Tag you're it.

Blackwater I've loaded BP on my MEC Jr also but for the 3 1/2" 10 ga shells. I have a modern spanish double 10 ga with 20" barrels. Its a howitzer. I need to tame it down a bit. Should I keep it at the same setting and just use felt wads? Now I need to get my hearing tested. Everyone is asking me "what"? No one can hear me and I keep turning up the volume. That gripes me.

I had many more posts than what's shown but lost all passwords and had to start all over. So somewhere out there I've got a dusty, musty unused double of me in SASS posts. Kinda scary. Old Blue could have fixed all this.

nevemind...

Love it! I agree should be our theme song. Allie, I had Frederick Jackson Turner's CD and must have loaned it and not got it back. I can't remember the name either but is a good one!
