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.

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.

Bring plenty of ammo, and then some more. Clean guns, function test, bring backups, extra parts, tools, and cleaning kit.
After last years fiasco, thankfully only happened during warm up stages, I double check the crimp on every single rifle round. I was having chamber feeding issues due to poor crimps.

I overheard several folks talking about your "Special" shotgun shells at the Saturday Banquet. Needless to say, you left a permanent mark on their soul!
I found my pouch of secret herbs and spices at the bottom of my shooting bag after the match Sunday. If I known it was there, I could loaded up my cap guns with it!!
Que sera sera.....till next year.

Pop LeCorque, Realtree, and Marshal P.C. Wabash have (or will have) videos up on YouTube of the match. There is even one of yours truly shooting the Virginia Sweep and demonstrating the speed and accuracy that keeps me firmly ensconced in the top of the bottom third!
I would also expect that Bingo Montana will be adding videos to his channel in the coming weeks.
Wasn't there a camera setup in one of the bays? I thought I spotted one up on a tree for either stages 3/4, or 7/8? If there was a working camera, hopefully it was on the stages where I used my special shotgun shells.

Watching this spaghetti western called 'They Call Him Cemetery'.
Two Bounty Killers sitting at the bar, talking about old times .... Bounty Killer #1 says to Bounty Killer #2 'You're giving the Undertaker so much business, he's starting to call you Cemetery!'.
Bingo! There it was, my alias.

I put the spring kit in mine sold by shotgun boogie, it was a night and day transformation. It feels as smooth and light as my tuned Uberti.
I did this as well.
I bought mine 2nd hand back in '18, was already slicked up, don't recall who did it, but it was kinda 'clunky'.
I had extra folding money on month, so I got the Shotgun Boogie drop in kit .... so much better now.
