Do pan lubing they said. It will be easy they said. NOT.

Take a clean empty piece of brass that has been shot and not resized drill out the primer pocket insert a nail with point coming out and head in shell to push out bullets use like a cookie cutter to cut out bullets -
I scored a Uberti Henry 45 Colt from a Pard that Medically retired from shooting. It is fun. I did make the dowel to keep the mag follower from hitting my hand. They are both fun and heavy. If one actually looks at that funny bump on the top of the barrel near the muzzle they are quite accurate.

New to CAS--Lotsa Questions

44-40, Blackpowder and Vaqueros
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 replied to Johnny Knight's topic in SASS Wire
One way to determine amount of powder to use is stand bullet on base take a dowel that will fit in case or a pencil stand it next to bullet and mark where crimp groove is. Make a second mark 1/16 or 1/8 inch closer to the end depending on the amount of compression you want and fill the case till the mark is at the case mouth. -
Congrats it is really great when efforts are appreciated and recognized. Well Done

The Overlooked .38 S&W
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 replied to H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619's topic in SASS Wire
Have a Webley Mark IV .38 which is a .38 S&W. It is regulated to shoot a .38 200 round. Shooting commonly available something like 146 grain ammo it shoots pretty low. I was able to find proper diameter 200 grain bullets to replicate the .38 200 round. Once I have shot enough rounds to make it worth setting up my .38 S&W dies I will make some proper ammo for it. -

Question - How does it feel?
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 replied to Joe LaFives #5481's topic in SASS Wire
Could not care less about awards, will never get one in Main Match. Do think it is rediculous to award more than 2 Buckles in categories with 5 or less participants. 5 probably should be the minimum for ladies and 10 for open categories no more than 40% buckle with max of 10 awarded in a category where 40% exceeds 10 awards -
To sell or to keep - what would you do?

Keep them all then you will still have a back up when one is in the shop
