  1. Make sure there is no chance of your revolvers bouncing out of those pockets when you move. You will get a stiff penalty if one does, especially if it is loaded and pointed up range. An alternative is to have another shooter carry you revolvers to where the will be shot and then to the unloading table. Also, loaner holsters may be available if you ask in advance.
  2. My Kimber too would not feed them reliably, so I used them up in a 45 ACP revolver. They shot accurately and made beautiful, large holes in paper. I would not purchase more for my semi-autos.
  3. Miss B Haven is the Buckarette in the bottom-left corner of the following picture. She is the youngest member of Chicken George's family - a SASS family out of southern New Mexico.
  4. Kfsh, Ask the Wire for help regarding firearms and leather for ladies. What works well for men often works poorly for women.
  5. It's fast burning powder shotgun powder roughly equivalent to Extra-Lite. I will load my 7/8 oz smokeless shotgun shells with it once I exhaust my supply of Extra-Lite.
  6. Use the Pure Gas website to locate alcohol-free gas. They have apps for smart phones.
  7. I got a similar alert and tried a different card. The second attempt was successful.
  8. If you get a camp site with hookups bring a 50 to 30A adapter (if you have a 30A trailer), an extra-long fresh-water hose and an RV extension cord. Sometimes the Land Run parking staff has to site you in an available footprint not close to utilities. Bring a Y connector for fresh water as you will share a facet.
  9. Black powder is legal in all categories. However, it is not advantageous pricewise or timewise. Just buy some commercial smokeless shotgun shells if you want to compete in a smokeless category. The cloud of dense white smoke produced by black powder really hinders target acquisition. When shooting black powder shotgun shells, I often guess where the next target is and shoot rather wait until I can see it.
  10. Same here - too many connections error message. Also, an insecure website warning. The link worked on the first try. Hopefully we get camping site on range with hookups.
  11. I run tethered, 2kW Yamaha inverter generators. At higher altitudes my tethered 2kW inverter generators will not run my AC. However, they have more power at sea level. They produce pure sine wave power and will not damage electronics. I chose Yamahas because I have a local service center, and the generators have fuel shutoff valves allow me to run the carburetors dry after each use. The generators are light enough for me to lift into my truck myself. I have some larger generators for house use that are easier to change oil than the Yamahas. I too run ethanol free gasoline treated with fuel stabilizer.
  12. This video shows a box of 100 with the words "Standard Non-Corrosive" printed on it.
  13. Are they non-corrosive?
  14. "So are these 357 magnum accurate with black powder loads?" Yes, plenty accurate for CAS main matches. I shoot them all the time. Another consideration is that 357 mag cases (and the 38 Specials many shoot) take small pistol primers while 45 Colts take large pistol primers that are currently less available. The smaller cases loaded with black powder make plenty of fire and noise. Here is a picture of me shooting a 38 Special black powder round from a revolver. There was a good report and plenty of fire.
  15. I use them for the King of Kaboom (big bore black powder) category. I use the rifle in Wild Bunch with a smokeless load very close to that used by OLG. I like the caliber.
