Cemetery

Fingers crossed I can make it!

First match was in June 2006, joined in July.

I make my own loob with tallow and cooking oil of some type, and put a dab of it on the cushion section of the wad. This helps with the fouling for easier removal.

Anyplace online to look into this?

Congrats to all!

I got a bag of 500 Barnstormers from him this past Spring. Gonna need another bag of 500.

For me, when I load full house with APP, the powder goes to just about the bottleneck, and the 200g boolit goes on top. Still not enough smoke for me though.

I have Miroku, I got it 2nd hand a few years back. Already had an action job, can't recall who I was told that did it, it always felt 'clunky' to me. Last year I had some extra foldin' money, and purchased Shotgun Boogie's spring kit and firing pin kit. Runs real smooth. I can't get a shave that smooth either unfortunately.

Reachout to Shotgun Boogie, I got a few from him when mine broke a few years back. Not listed on his website, still reach out. Ya never know. https://sbgwllc.com/

From what I understand, it was made for black powder loads, and with the advent of smokeless, people where blowing them up. A recall happened, and the new improved 1897 was introduced to withstand smokeless loads.

Joe Perkins used to make Hand of God grips, was this him? https://classicsingleaction.com/contact/

I have found that when the shell opens up, the crimp is the issue. Shell just opens up and hangs there. Even when the brass base has cleared the chamber/extractor, and it hangs in the chamber, the crimp area holds onto the chamber walls. Sometimes I think the shell checkers/resizers should be like those little pencil sharpeners you kept at your desk in grade school. Just shave the excess off instead of trying to resize.

Only shot here once, back in '11. Still one of my favorite matches.

This is true. It's just down the street, stop on the way to get groceries. 😉

Putting this match on my radar!!
