Right now we have 86 signed up in 35 Categories. 7 of those need one or two more shooters for the category to make. I know several people are at or headed to EOT (good luck to all of y’all) please get in your applications as soon as possible. Randy Who's attending Main Match 05312024.pdf

I started using Hornady One Shot in 2014, the first time I went to EOT in New Mexico. At that time it was called cleaner and dry lube and I didn’t want anything that would attract all the fine dust. I have had really good luck with it and continue to use it. I saw this test and another test later and it faired well in both of them. Randy

Unfortunately I had to cancel EOT this year but would like to place an order if you have any left after EOT. Thanks Randy

Great, thanks. Randy

Congratulations!! Randy

Thanks, so far you’re the only Outlaw signed up. Randy

Thanks, we've got 4 in Gunfighter already. Randy

I have 24 Categories locked in but there are quite a few more I'm sure will make. Last year 44 categories that had enough shooters to make this year. Don't forget we're the last leg of the Magnificent 7 again so please get your entries in early so I can get buckles ordered in time. So far we only have 2 Classic Cowboys, 2 Frontier Cartridge Duelists, 1 Frontiersman, 1 Josey Wales, 1 Outlaw, 1 Senior Gunfighter, 1 Silver Senior Duelist, 2 Silver Senior Gunfighter and 2 Wranglers. We need to get all these categories up to 3 so I can get the buckles ordered. Thanks Randy

Thanks, I’m happy enough that I have no intention de-priming and using pins. Randy

I can’t say about spikey but I’ve been loading with Clays powder since I started in 2005, 1st in .45 Colt and for the last 15 years in .38 special. When I first started .38 I was loading 2.6 grains behind a 125 grain bullet. I gradually bumped it up to 3.0 grains and have been using that ever since. I buy Clays anytime I see any because I really don’t want to have to find a different powder. I do not empty my powder measure because I only use Clays and only load .38 special. Randy

With comparable practice there is no appreciable difference between the two. I choose to shoot double duelist because I like the available transitions. Tennessee Williams is one of the top double duelists and Doc Roy L Pain is the best single duelist I’ve ever seen. It boils down to what works best for you. With the exception of Doc Roy L Pain I usually see more double duelists at the top of the Duelist Categories. Randy

I don’t have to worry about that, it would be hard to get a bicycle in my garage

I have 2 dry tumblers that still work fine but with a 17.9 lead level I thought maybe I should try something else. Randy

I got out all the water I could then spread them on an old towel on the garage floor with a fan blowing across them for several hours. I loaded 100 rounds today after checking inside each case to verify they were dry. They loaded easy and seemed like less resistance than loading dry tumbled brass. I think I’m sold on the wet tumbling. Randy

Unfortunately right now work seems to be getting the best of Ole TW. Randy

Not exactly like those but my kit came with caps to drain the water and contain the cases. Randy

I did rinse quite a bit, the Bunkhouse Boss vetoed the plan to dry it in the oven.

I was pretty slow being convinced to try wet tumbling but since my last lead level was 17.9 I thought I’d give it a try. I decided on the Frankford Arsenal Platinum 7L. It has a 3 hour timer and Bass Pro Shop had them on sale for $149.98 and free shipping. I ran my first batch of .38 special and didn’t deprime, too much extra work to me. I just used water and the cleaning solution sample that came with the kit. From the results I think that’s what I’ll continue to use. I ran this batch for 2 hours and I’m extremely happy with the results. I guess I’m hooked now! Randy

I can’t say about the chickens feet because I see a different one about every time I go to the range. I was told that if you didn’t bring any voodoo there wouldn’t be and hoodoo Randy

We are working on getting Molly’s buckles for 1st in Categories this year. They have a pretty good lead time so I’m needing to know what categories we will have enough shooters in so I can get them ordered. If you plan to shoot with us but haven’t sent in your application please do so as soon as you can. I don’t want to have to mail buckles out later. Thanks Randy

I filed my sights to get POA and POI as close to the same as possible. I bought my guns as tools for out sport / game and I want them as good as possible for it. I don’t have time during a pistol (or rifle) string to think about Kentucky windage or elevation to get all shots on target. It is more critical as the targets get smaller and we sometimes shoot a Texas Star and occasionally for fun shoot something a little smaller. It comes down to the fact that they are your guns and it is up to you what you want to do with them but as others have said before you file make sue what ammo you are going to use and have a good shooter verify how they are shooting. I file mine at the range and file a little and then shoot to check then file more as needed. It takes a while but it keeps you from taking off too much. Randy

I think it's called Peter Pan Crunchy Randy

And lube them up with Widder’s Special Lube at no charge also? Randy
