[What's the call?]

What about the holstered pistol with a live round in it? Minor safety ? 

There are now only two Minor Safety penalties.  

A round not under the hammer or in a cocked revolver leaving the shooters hand is neither of these. 

 

From SHB PG 23   Inadvertently left rounds in a revolver are misses, unless there is an unfired round under the hammer, in which case it is a Stage DQ.

 

So the round in the revolver, making the assumption, the revolver was not cacked again is just a miss.  

 

Back to the OP. 

P for 9th round not hitting the correct target, Miss for the unfired round.  

And TO's are human, and if not 100% sure the shooter had only fired 9 and tellng them one more it they had shot 10 would be grounds for a reshoot as impropper coaching.  Not saying anything is not improper coaching, and not grounds for a reshoot.  Responsibility belongs to the shooter.

From SHB Page 23 V27.9 May 12,2025 

"Changing location with a long gun with the action closed and the hammer cocked (exception for long guns from the loading table to the stage with no round chambered)"   Also see how to handle this situation for a rifle on page 12 of the SHB.  For a shotgun it's easy, open it, access a penalty if there is a round in the chamber(s)   

This rule applies only from the loading table to the shooting line. 

Does not apply from shooting line to ULT. (Stop, open it)  Breaking the basketball traveling rule would equal a SDQ 

 

 

[Who does a TG represent?]

I am the TG for the only affiliated club in my state. 

There are people who shoot at my club on a regular basis, that are not members of the cowboy club, but are SASS members. 

 

When the current (and last votes) came up I sent an email to the club members looking for their vote, I note how each has voted add my own vote and that is how "we" vote.  

As here in New England states and clubs are in close proximity, I did put in my email that if they are members of another club, only vote once, either with my club, or the other.  I also welcomed others who are not my cowboy club members to vote with us, if they had not been contacted by their TG.  

 

I feel every SASS member in good standing should have a say, but some do not "belong" to a specific club.  

 

 

[Smokeless vs BP Sub?]

I should have stated the the Smokeless is "factory" but does lack info. 

The BP Sub loads were handloads. 

 

[Smokeless vs BP Sub?]

I recently aquired some loaded 45-70 roulds.  They are either smokless(with no load data other than 405grain projectile) and BP Sub (again no load data just bullet weight) 

 

If I take these to the range to "unload" them in my handy rifle, do I need to be concerned with shooting both the smokeless and BP subs without significant cleaning of the barrel?  

 

Not knowing the loads, these will be emptied and loaded to match my 130 year old trapdoor needs.
