Jim is gone and the C&I store was basically a one man operation. Try something novel like calling. If no one answers you have your answer. If Jim's wife answers I am sure she can give you the straight scoop. The C&I website does not show up on my computer. Remember once on the Internet nothing can truly be removed. Getting the site could be as simple as the address was in your cache and it just duplicated what it looked like the last time you went there.

Nickle keeps cases from getting verdigris if left in leather belt loops but embrittles the brass. Won 500 new nickle brass at a match one time. Loaded them with BP and tossed them after one firing.

You forgot the ammo. Designed for extreme cold.

Are the hammers about as close as on the TTN hammered doubles.
No.

What keeps the hammer from going beyond full cock is the pawl engaging the cylinder ratchet teeth. It almost looks like the pawl is slipping out of the teeth and allowing the hammer to go further to the rear. Did you reinstall the pawl plunger and spring properly? Is the pawl spring pinched?

I remember Willard Scott when he did the weather for NBC news. Someone asked him what was the best weather prediction tool. He got up pulled up the Venetian blinds and said "the window." This time of the year the weather predictions here in Phoenix literally change by the hour. Start worrying on the 17th.

A 550 has only four stations. I would not waste the time and money on a bullet feeder. The roller handle is a definite plus for me. I have bullet feeders on my 750 and 1050 Dillon as well as a Frankford Arsenal X-10. They are a real plus for progressive machines that automatically rotate the shell plate.

My current main match Boogie stroked .32s.

Lots of people shoot Boogies short stroke. It is the only short stroke that uses all new machined parts. I have owned several different cut and welds. I prefer the new parts.

Thanks for attaching names to familar faces. Half the time the only way I can remember my own name is to look at my driver's license.🤭

Today was the last work party before EOT set-up begins on February 18. I can't lift anymore but went out today to say hi to some old friends. Most of today's work was finishing up some last minute items. Everyone was toughing it out in the sunny 75 degree weather! In the photo of working on the targets the numbers tell which stage they are to go to.
On the other side of the yard a crew from ACSA (Arizona Cowboy Shooter's Association) is finalizing some signs and props for their February 13 - 15 EOT warm-up match. Cowtown follows up on February 21 and 22 with Fire and Ice. As soon as Fire and Ice is over everyone rushes over to Ben Avery for the opening of EOT registration.
Ben Avery was super busy today. Aside from silhouette and USPSA matches there is also a world class sporting clays match going on. Aside from normal sporting clays there is also a five stand match going on.
For the real die hards and pros there is also a FITASC match going on. These are only held once or twice a year. It is basically sporting clays on steroids. This is a brief description of FITASC
FITASC (Fédération Internationale de Tir aux Armes Sportives de Chasse) is a premier international clay shooting discipline that simulates hunting scenarios, often considered the "Formula One" of clay shooting. Unlike standard sporting clays, FITASC requires a "gun-down" position—the stock must touch the body below a marked line—until the target is visible.
Lastly in case no one has seen one Ben Avery is one of the few sites in the U.S. with an Olympic Bunker Trap. As the Olympics gets closer this will be full of people practicing. Olympic trap shoots a smaller bird far faster than U.S. Trap. U.S. Trap has only one thrower. Olympic trap has 15.

Was at the movies and they were running a trailer for a new movie where the hero is He-Man. Half-way through the ad we discover He-Man's pronouns are he/him. Hollywood just won't give up.

Local vendor has RWS small pistol primers for .04 each or $40.00 a thousand. He said he is still having problems keeping SPP primers in stock and located these RWS primers. They are in flat cartridges that are designed to be fed into an automated commercial loading machine. Each cartridge holds between 1425 and 1460 primers thus the .04 price. Each cartridge has a label with all the technical data and the precise number of primers in that cartridge. Multiply the number of primers by .04 and you get the price for that cartridge. Once the cartridge is opened you pretty well just have to dump them all into a bowl or other container and then put a hundred or so primers at a time in you shaker or loader. RWS is German but I have never seen primers in commercial containers before.

I use the Etymotic GunSports. Got them on Amazon. Right about $400.00. I got them because I could no longer hear the buzzer and I do not like the tap on the shoulder start. These work very well and are very small. They are about the same size as shown in the photo on the box front. I saw the Axil XCORs at Costco and picked up a pair as a backup. These are shown below the box. They are about twice the size of the GunSports. For me there is one HUGE downside to the Axils. They need to be connected to a Bluetooth source. Otherwise they beep in your ears every couple of minutes. Annoying as hell when you are trying to shoot. I thought they were broke and sent an email to the company. They responded very quickly that they are primarily ear buds for music or listening to your phone. They said they are working on a set that does not require Bluetooth but they are not out yet. Right now when I use them I have to have my Iphone in my back pocket.

Knew I had some photos somewhere. After test firing the guns are boxed. The boxes are packed in shipping containers and loaded on trucks to go to the distributors. It is raw materials in one door, make guns, and ship them.

They only run the NMVs periodically. They do not keep an inventory of revolvers. They are made, testfired, boxed and shipped. So if Ruger says they don't have any right now they don't.

When the half-time show starts I usually switch to the Puppy Bowl.

Supposed to be 80 today BUT the wind is blowing. The Clay Target Center is filling up. Shot with a couple of people practicing trap with their long barreled 97s. With a stiff headwind trap is fun!

This past week and the projection for next week is highs from the mid 70s to the low 80s. It was sunny and 80 at today's Cowtown match. Fingers crossed for continued good weather. BUT this is the winter and things can change overnight.

The only two that still make links are Pioneer and Shotgun Boogie. They differ in the way the timing is set. The Pioneer has a metal pad that you grind or file to set timing. The Shotgun Boogie has two screws you turn with an Allen wrench to set the timing.
