  1. Note this caveat under "Revolver Calibers":

    Quote

    Although the .32 caliber revolvers and .36 caliber cap and ball revolvers are legal, they may not be powerful enough to handle all reactive targets.

    SHB p.39

    This one’s for PaleWolf if he’s willing!

     

    Can I legally load my Black Powder cartridges with five grains of real FFFFg and then fill the cases the rest of the way with real FFg or FFFg for SASS competition??

     

    Is this still considered a duplex load?

     

    No..."duplex load" (for SASS purposes) is defined on SHB p.28:

    Quote

    Any combination of smokeless and blackpowder (so called duplex loads) is specifically 
    prohibited in ANY category.  (e.g., Blackhorn 209).

    Does the ruling change if the stage requires a "reload"?  Is the wild bunch rule parallel?

     

    There's a difference between a "reload" vs a "preload" (REF: p.2 of the previously linked doc.)

    SASS rules re ammo required for stage reloads do not include an extra round in the magazine loaded at the LT:

    Quote

    Ammunition Belts and Loops

     - Ammunition required for loading/reloading during the course of any stage must be carried on the shooter’s person, in a bandoleer, cartridge/shot shell belt loop, holster cartridge loop, pouch, pocket, or be safely staged as required by stage instructions.

    SHB p.3

    Per page 29 of the CAS shooters handbook.  "Dry firing at the loading or unloading tables is not allowed and results in a stage disqualification. Dry firing is allowed only at designated safe areas.

    Dry firing is defined as the act of bringing the firearm into a shooting position, cocking the hammer, and pulling the trigger as if to cause the firearm to fire normally."

    Dry firing – the act of bringing an unloaded firearm into a shooting position, cocking the hammer, and pulling the trigger as if to cause the gun to fire normally.

    SHB p.44 - GLOSSARY OF TERMS

     

    The SHB very clearly defines what "DRY FIRING" is...TWICE

    the one who came to the line with an initially holstered cocked loaded revolver or the accidental cocking, which could potentially be more dangerous. 

     

    That scenario is covered under the "Two SDQs = MDQ " rule. 

    Failure to adhere to loading or unloading procedures.

    Changing location with a cocked revolver.
