Progressive Shot Shell Reloader’s
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Lefty Vaquero #39185's topic in SASS Wire
Yeah Spolar was a vendor at several Winter Range's. Here is Cole the owner/operator of Spolar. Generally at the end of the match he would sell whatever demos he had with him. The year of this photo one person bought the press, one bought the table and one bought the hydraulics. Saved Cole a lot of packing for the trip home. -
Progressive Shot Shell Reloader’s
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Lefty Vaquero #39185's topic in SASS Wire
Bascically right now there is Mec, Hornady, Dillon, Ponsness-Warren, and Spolar. Each one has its idiosyncracies and trying to list the pros and cons of each would take thousands of pages of comments. Not to mention what some people view as a "con" others view as a "pro." Mec is the least expensive and is well supported. In the past four years the prices on progressive machines has doubled or more. Machines I paid $999.00 for four years ago are now $1,999.00. I picked up a Spolar at Winter Range in 2019 for $1,900.00. They are now $4,500.00! Your best best is to go to YouTube and seach the brands you are intersted in. There are videos on all of them explaining what works and what does not and most have how to fix problems videos. If you buy a used machine make sure there are still parts available. -
Winchester small pistol primers on sale
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Has anyone actually received primers at these prices? When no one locally has them anywhere near this price my suspicious nature kicks in. -
Proper English: 'is' vs. 'was'

Proper English is "tis" or "twas". -
Uberti Colt Root Revolver?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Cholla's topic in SASS Wire
Here is one I sold a couple of years ago. Nickle plated .28 Root. FYI all of the guns shown are either originals or Palmettos. As far as I know Uberti never made any. -

Stage starting lines - Hyah or giddy-up usually works. -
Uberti Colt Root Revolver?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Cholla's topic in SASS Wire
I have never seen or heard of a Root copy made by Uberti. As far as I know the only Colt Root revolver reproduction was made by Palmetto Arms Company of Brescia, Italy. -
Match in Montrose, Colorado?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Too Tall Bob's topic in SASS Wire
For those of you who have ever shot "The Seige at San Juan" this is a non-SASS sanctioned match that is supposed to replicate the old matches. It is being billed as "The Siege of Old". It is scheduled for 12 stages on June 21 & 22, 2025. If you have questions you can call San Juan, SASS #1776, at 970-417-6247. -

$5000.00 cash Withdrawal
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Rye Miles #13621's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Back in the "good old days" banks were required to maintain a certain level of reserves. (For decades this was 25%.) Starting in 2020 the requirement was dropped to zero. I remember when you could get $1,000 and $500 bills. Now the largest is $100 and if you take out more than a few thousand it is not all that uncommon for a branch bank to not have that many hundreds on hand. There have been several times in the past couple of years I could only get $3,000 or $4,000 in hundreds and had to leave with a mess of $20s to round out my $5,000 withdrawal. Cash is unfortunately going out of style. There are many businesses that no longer accept cash. And no, businesses are NOT required to accept cash. Again in 2019 or 2020 the Federal Reserve issued a ruling that businesses could take electronic payment in lieu of cash. This is from a Q&A on their website: Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment? There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise. P.S. The State of Arizona, for example, has legislation pending requiring businesses to accept cash payments up to $100. It has not passed thr Arizona Senate. -
Uberti Revolver Spring Strength
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Bladesmith, SASS 113085's topic in SASS Wire
#3 is the lightest UNLESS #2 is the lightweight Pietta spring. Then it is probably the lightest. Generally you cannot go wrong with the Lee in #3. -

What’s your dry fire routine?
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Bladesmith, SASS 113085's topic in SASS Wire
It is not hard. Club matches are practice for State matches. State matches are practice for Regional mathces. Regional matches are practice for the Nationals and the Nationals are practice for the World. Repeat annually. -
