Should I go even higher on muzzle velocity?
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Mysterious Stranger's topic in SASS Wire
Dontcha love it when someone asks a question and argues with most everyone who replies, because he didn’t get the reply he wanted? I need more popcorn. -

The Quckloader is SASS approved.

https://uniquetek.com/product/T1761 I don’t recall paying near that much. I’ve found it a convenience to finish AA reloads which are prone to blossoming a little if they’ve been on the shelf too long.

I’m thinking you need another Smith & Wesson. That’ll sooth your soul. -

Having experienced both cotton pickin’ and New York minutes, I’m going with New York being faster. -
What to Upgrade First?
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Bladesmith, SASS 113085's topic in SASS Wire
A lot of new shooters start thinking about upgrades before they have enough time at the firing line. Play with your own guns for awhile and borrow others to see what suits you before you plunk down any money. Patience, Grasshopper…- 38 replies

Taps can be both a reflective and mournful tune. When it’s played for someone you know personally, it can be heart wrenching. -

6th nipple caps for C&B revolvers
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Diamond Curly SASS#57086's topic in SASS Wire
I shoot 1860 .44 Sheriffs where the loading levers are pitifully short, so I load off the frame. Chambers are topped off with a cookie of beeswax/crisco mix lube - thank you J-Bar for that recipe and technique! The lube makes it easy to identify loaded chambers. When installing the cylinders, I index them so the empty chamber is at the loading window with hammer down on the first loaded chamber. When the hammer is pulled back at the loading table, that first loaded chamber automatically indexes for the first cap. After Installing 5 caps, the empty chamber has been automatically indexed so it's under the lowered hammer. Visually confirm no cap under hammer and the 5 loaded chambers are clearly visible with the lube cookie. Easy peasy. -
The above, but with Basil Hayden or Jameson’s.

Yup. Seen that penalty called meself. The brouhaha over that was a sight to behold.

When I was in Boy Scouts where learning knot tying was important, my Navy vet dad did that from memory. He was just killing time while we fumbled with sheet bends. I had never seen rope spliced like that before. Not sure that I have since. Also not sure I could do it with a YouTube video!
