I've done that with my rifle, had 4" chopped off and new sight, sometimes I like shooting long barrel pistols and other I like shorter ones.

I have 4 sets of opentops and Richard Mason pistols, each has 2 sets of barrels one 7 1/2 or 8' and one set 5 1/2" . The only thing you need to be concerned about is the wedge fit for each barrel. I made sure to get a wedge for each barrel and fitted it to the specific pistols and barrel. Well worth the $15 for extra wedge. I make sure once fitted that I use that barrel and wedge on that pistol exclusively.

Works great in shotgun, I find it's a little stouter than App, needs to be cleaned quicker than App. I find that it was a cheap version of App, unfortunately they quite making it so don't fall in love with it. Sold for $9 a pound and I only have 10 lbs left.

Depends on if he's shooting in my class, if he is then it a "p" and a miss, if I like him it's clean.

Unless I know the shooter and his/her reloading process, my gun my ammo! That's why I always bring twice the amount needed

one of each! The Match I pulled my pistol cocked it on the way up hit the windowsill and blew a hole through the prop and gun flipped out of my hand!
Stage moved with a loaded pistol, pulled it and coked at the wrong spot then moved my feet.

That's what I started with and used for almost 10 years, will work well.

Wes Fargo used to sell a tool, it was a fork with one of the tines bent.

Dawg, if your guns are set up to shoot black you don't have to do anything special. I still lube with ballistols, get your brass in water quick. I have left my guns dirty for 2 weeks before cleaning them after APP, no wear as bad as pyrodex. Clean up with moose milk just like real black. APP does smoke more than real.

With APP or Blackmz I use bear creek moly bullets, with real black I use my own black powder lube bullets. I'm to lazy to swab between every stage. Again I know folks that can use coated bullets with success I just never have. You might want to try. For long range I would not use a coated bullet with real black.

You are going to get lots of different answers, in my experience no coated bullets do not work well with black powder. I have tried molly coated that left an almost cement type crud.
I am sure some people have been able to get them to work but I have never been able to.

Like coffin I have run black in my 66 and 73 both in 45 colt for years, get some blowback but never an issue, good strong crimp don't download. Only spritz every 3-4 stages. Use them in local, state, national and worlds with never a hiccup. Sure 44-40 and 38-40 probably run cleaner but I only tear down 2-3 times a year and have never had excessive fouling.

Shooting black clean after every Shooting, complete teardown and deep cleaning 2-3 times a year just before big shoots where I check parts.

Yes and no! They can fit but not very good, the profile of the schofield is different. I have put my schofield in my holster and used it for a shoot but for long term I had a holster made for it.

EOT 2022 Theme and Brass Question

I go through my old brass and use the best for any lost brass match! Inspect after reloading for any cracked or split cases. Not going to worry about $20 of lost brass when I have buckets full of it.
