Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903

Limit is 1000 fps for revolvers and 1400 fps for rifle. Power Factors The minimum standard for center-fire ammunition used in all smokeless categories in all SASS matches, including State, Regional, National, International, and World Championship competitions is not less than a minimum power factor of 60 and no velocity may be less than 400 fps. The maximum velocities are 1000 fps for revolvers and 1400 fps for rifles. Ammunition that exceeds these velocities is considered illegal (this does not include ammunition that does not meet the power factor). Pocket pistols, derringers, and long-range rifles are exempt from the power factor and velocity requirements. Power factors can be calculated by multiplying the bullet weight (in grains) x the velocity (in feet per second) and then the resulting number divided by 1000. Examples: - 100 gr bullet traveling at 600 fps has a power factor of 60: (100x600)/1000=60.00 - 77 gr bullet traveling at 800 fps has a power factor of 61.6: (77x800)/1000=61.6 - 200 gr bullet traveling at 400 fps has a power factor of 80: (200x400)/1000=80.00 SHB pg. 25 Randy

No, I still have a stock of Clay's for my 38's Randy

I’ve had it a long time but I’m about to run out🤠 Randy

I’m interested in this as I’m almost out of KG9 Leather Kote. I have some Galco Draw Eze and don’t like it nearly as well as KG9. It works great on Kydex holsters. Randy

I have no idea about trap loads but for cowboy loads I’ve been very happy with Hodgdon’s Perfect Pattern. Randy

I didn’t read all of the replies before I replied. After reading them your best bet would be to contact Johnny Meadows as that sounds like a good deal. Once you install the new part I’d be sure to add STOS grease to try to stop the wear. https://pvgunworks.com/product/stos-lube/ Randy

Actually I was talking about steel shim stock. I repaired the axle eye on a ‘64 Ford pickup with shims from a PBR can, it held about 6 months and I had to drink enough PBR to get more shim stock, kept doing that until I sold the truck. Randy

Because I try things also I’d probably get some shim stock and try filling in the grooves just to see if it will cock? Randy

The starting load for W231 gives a higher velocity with a 125gr. bullet than what is legal in SASS. IF wanting to load .357 brass I think I’d try 4.0? https://hodgdonreloading.com/rldc/ Randy

I expect a lot of the shooters will be graduates of the Sawyer Shooting School! Randy

Congratulations to both! Mountaineer Mac has been shooting gunfighter for a little over a year and became the Southeast Regional Gunfighter Champion last year after shooting Gunfighter for 3 months. He was 14 at the time. He is an awesome young man!🤠 Randy

Mongo, I have not had this problem but I use a cheap aquarium pump on my powder bottle to keep the powder from bridging. Randy

And right now they have free hazmat or free shipping, your choice. Midway also has free hazmat now but they are $10 higher on 8lb of Red Dot. Randy

Here's the 3/4 wad. https://www.ballisticproducts.com/Claybuster-CB017512-12ga-3_4oz-wad-bag_500/productinfo/030CB107512/ Randy

Yes in place of the Claybuster grey 7/8 wad I use the Claybuster pink 3/4 wad. By putting 7/8oz shot in a 3/4oz wad you get the equivalent of adding a filler or over shot card in a 7/8 wad. Randy
