Von Dutch, SASS # 7995

I have a chronograph my 45LCs with 5 grs of clays 165BC RNFP and they are the same at 20 degrees as they are at 100 degrees! And I have been shooting that load for 30 + years!

Let's do it! I'm melting like a snow cone in Phoenix!

He should have blamed himself if he wasn't ready to start all he had to do was say I wasn't ready please restart me!

Well, the market is just not there for cowboy guns to be made in the USA! The numbers in CAS have shrunken big time over the years. In my club 20 years ago, there would have been 125 to 150 shooters at a monthly match now you're lucky to get 35 to 40.

Well, that's that made in China JUNK!!!!

The wood color is a perfect match of mine butt stock being a little darker than the forearm, I bought mine in 1978 on sale at Turners Outdoorsman out the door for $78 dollars and some change I still have it, was my main match gun for about 6 years.

Sorry I know this is the real world I don't think RCBS would do some of the things they did for me in the old days now? That's why I said that was 10 years ago, but I think it was longer than that for the prep center? Take care Larsen E.

I have a RCBS (electric) Brass prep center, and it was about 15 years old, and the motor took a dump called RCBS to see if I could buy a replacement motor and they told me no need it was good for life, and they set me a new one that was about 10 years ago. Thats not the first time RCBS had taken care of me!

A friend had the person that made his rig make him some out of leather and made it so it would attach to the gun belt looked good work great, I think he charged him $125.00

I can't believe this is not sold? This is a $ 575.00 loader from P.W. plus shipping its out of stock at this time too. and it puts a Mec Loader to shame!

That is a great price mine is thirty years old, and it has made me lot of cowboy and sporting clays rounds!

This is what I have been loading for about 26 years 165 gr Bear Creek RNFP Fed. primer 5.0 grs Clays Chrono's at 742 fps pistol and 812 fps Rifle The only bad thing about this load is you can't get Clays and who knows if you will ever be able to? I'm glad I stocked up!

Mine came with the plate but that was twenty years ago?

Sheep Skin is the ticket! I put it in my gun cart 15 years ago and I have had zero bluing wear.

Brownells sells the thin screwdriver blades you need, if you chose to do it.

Well it sounds like your knocking the hell out of them! The BC HB I have in stock have a cannelure and I have been using BC bullets for 25 years and I have never had any leading problem and after loading 1000 rds I don't have moly all over my work bench and very little on my hands. If I were loading for velocities over 1400 fps I would want a harder bullet but for SASS BC work just fine!

Double Scotch and I have been selling Bear Creek bullets for years and they are a great company, they have had a 105 gr H.B. bullet for years and in a 38 oal is 143-145 ordering from BC its 39.50 for a 500 rd box

Hi Preacherman I was just wondering if you found anything that you liked at Altamont Company? I could not believe that the grips I got six years ago have only gone up four dollars!

Check out the Altamont Company they make gun fighter grips that are similar, they are checkered and thin, I have a pair on my Birds heads and they are high quality at a reasonable price .

I sure miss shooting with the Pards in this picture! I never shot with Old Lone$ome AKA Bob Shaw he was smithing for us Cowboys! He was a great guy and a good gun smith! Cowboy action shooting will never be as good as it was back then! V.D.

This was my first end of trail, those were great times! I know some of these pards but forgot the names except the cowboy on the bottom left that's Mike Shellhart! There sure were some fun stages back then. Von Dutch

Sorry Marauder I did not see the lead part, went back and read your post and it slipped by me. V.D.

That is just not true ! A friend of mine had a Ammunition company called Western ammunition service and in 1976 he was selling a 125 gr 357 mag JHP ammo. the bullet was made by Winchester.

Long Colt A.Select is $152.00 for 8 # at Phillips but he's not open on Monday if that's who you go with Von Dutch

RCBS Rock Chucker is still Iron! been loading on mine for over 40 years and RCBS is a great company to deal with. Von Dutch
