Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409

There is a bit of a learning curve to shooting them. But lots of fun to shoot. I also have a Coyote Cap 87 which is my main match shotgun. Enjoy

Just spoke to John Barleycorn this morning and he has some hammers in stock. I don't know the price am sure he would be happy to let you know.

I just ran down and pulled the bushing I am using on my Mec jr for a 1oz square load and it is the Mec # 46 bushing. Using 2f real black. But if you are going to use APP would suggest only to use the 3f as the 2f is very chunky.

I cast both 105 and 147 big lube bullets for when I shoot .38 spcl using Goex 2f. Both work well for pistol and rifle. The rifle is a Winchester (Miroku) I think 20" barrel and Ruger OMV's for the pistols.

MY main match guns are mismatched 5.5 and a 7.5 ROA's my OMV are the 4 5/8 and a pair of USFA .44 with 7.5" barrels. My 1st choice if I were to get a new pair would be 5.5". But the truth be known I can miss equally well with any of the guns that I own. Sgt H

I have a PW 375 12ga that needs a new home. Asking $175.00. If interested can bring to the PA State Shoot. (WILL NOT SHIP don't even bother to ask} But will meet within reason to the Harrisburg area. Any questions feel free to ask. Will also include assorted PW bushings. Sgt Hochbauer

You might want to get in touch with Cody Conagher. He does great work. His # is (304) 258-1516 He is located in WV. Hope this is of some help. Sgt Hochbauer

I added a pair to my 1911 will be getting for my OMV's Hochbauer

Cody Conagher did mine. Am very happy with the results. Sgt Hochbauer

Looks to me to be a Lee press to load rifle/pistol cartridges. If you unscrew one of the dies it should have the caliber on there. Hope this helps. Hochbauer

I would contact Cody Conagher about doing a short stroke on that rifle. He recently did an action job on my Miroku 73 very nice. Also several other firearms. Hochbauer

I was fortunate and fell into a 6cavity big lube .44cal mold and 12 sticks of bp lube for the sum of $35.00. Its always good to look at the used stuff at a match you never know what you will find. Hochbauer

I had the same issue with my SDB and it was the height of the primer cup needed a little adjustment. Back in business. But am going to spring and send the press back to dillon for a overhaul. Hochbauer

Thanks for all of the information. Hochbauer

I have an original Trapdoor carbine that I need to replace the front sight blade. Any suggestions on where to go would be appreciated. Hochbauer

What Colorado said works perfect. I pretty much do the same thing on my 87 when I clean it after a match. I basically just shoot Goex. Hochbauer

I usually forget to bring the bottle with soapy water with me. That said the brass might not get soaked for a day or two. Most of my 44wcf brass is stained but always clean. Once its dry after soaking it then gets into the tumbler with crushed walnut media and tumbled for a few hours. Hochbauer

There is a book by Joe Foyer and Craig Riesch and the title is The 45-70 Springfield. It has info on probably any model of trapdoor that was made and variations. It gives the most minute details that you can even imagine. Hope this helps. I have a carbine and a modified cadet model. Hochbauer

I had mine done by Cody Conagher he is located in WV. Hochbauer

Clean Shot has become my new favorite smokeless powder for .38 and for 12ga shotgun. I am also going to use that for .45 acp and 9mm have not gotten to that as of yet. Hochbauer

Anyone have a Lee .456 conical bullet mold gathering dust that needs a new home? Want to give this a try instead of round balls in the ROA's. Hochbauer

Here in PA we are done for the season shooting outdoors. But we do have an indoor shoot January and February pistol and rifle only. No black powder. Today was the January match and I got to use my 1911. It was a fun match,an excuse to shoot and hang with some good people. I don't believe anyone gave a hoot that I shot 1911. But I did check in advance with the match director that it would be ok. Hochbauer

Misty I added my name and wifes name to work the show on Saturday with Bubba Bear...will we be getting some type of confirmation? Sgt Hochbauer & Dances with Toe Shoes

My friend and his friend will be joining SASS the have begun to buy guns. For the time being they are planning on sharing the expense of a rifle. One has a mind to get a Henry big boy in 38 spcl. Please share your opinions good or bad aside from price why he should or should buy this for SASS. They have already shot one match using my 66 in 44 wcf and 38 spcl Vaqueros Thanks Sgt H
