good to hear you can run them, anyone figure out how to keep BIGFOOT from stepping on them or is that just the cost of doing business?

Some decent powders for .38 special are bullseye, red dot, A2, Nitro 100 on the slower side HP38, unique or universal. I use the Bullseye, Red Dot, A2 and Nitro 100 range of powders and get 2000 or so rounds out of a lb. not necessarily container as many now have 12 or 14 oz vs a true pound

Do not carry any, do not shoot black powder. If I did would carry stuff to clean pistols, rifles and shotgun chambers prolly windex with vinegar and balistol or moose milk. If at out of town match keep cleaning stuff in the truck or 5th wheel if I am dragging it.

Mec Quick Change Base
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 replied to Bladesmith, SASS 113085's topic in SASS Wire
Interesting, I notice your MEC has a 3 hole base, mine all have 4. How old is your MEC? Trying to figure out if it is super old or super new and the change to 4 hole came long ago or the 3 hole is a new thing. -
I shoot mine occasionally it is a 45 colt. I made the stick to hold 10 rounds and keep the follower from hitting my hand. In AZ for summer matches the barrel and magazine get rather warm, burn your hand hot actually when doing a 6 stage match. Shot it at the first EOT in AZ as I recall. Cool weather and 4 stages barrel heat not a problem. Once must be careful when loading not to allow the mag follower to slam into the rounds. With the stick not much of a problem as the follower does not go very far before hitting stick. One should still exercise care and let it down in a controlled fashion. I have also learned the funny bump at the end of the barrel was not put there to make it hurt worse if inserted and actually will help eliminate misses.

Which electronic ear buds are good?

I bought walkers mostly because I could get them for $69 on sale about a year ago as I recall. They work good and hold a charge well no problem shooting a 6 stage match on a charge. You may want to take this with a grain of salt as I am cheap enough to shoot mossberg pumps and rifles as well as tisas 1911 commanders vs proper more expensive models. -
Do not know if I save anything but shooting a Cinchester 1887 if find the relatively cheap Fiocchi shells are to long to play nicely with the 87, feed great eject not so much. This has sent me down the rabbit hole of roll crimped loading for excellent ejection. The added bonus having 1910 ish Stevens 325 hammered long barreled double there is some question if the chambers are actually long enough to shoot modern 23/4 inch star crimped shells. I have done it before with no issue but... I know it absolutely will handle roll crimped shell. No it is not a damascas twist barrel. My press really likes AA hulls and AA wads, federal or Fiocchi not so much bad crimps and leaking shot, Prolly would work better with different wads as neither the white or pink 11/8 oz wads make for great crimps with the latter 2 brand hulls.
