My electrons usually go "blooey" a couple of times a year. Usually it's at Black Gold and Comin'At'Cha.
Every stinkin’ time I hear the beep of the timer.

YOU, slip and fall way to much to be a 'sticky'.
You only want to shoot Duelist so you can hold on to somedangthing with the other hand-

Considering my track record, can you blame me?

You want to take a lubricants thread and make it sticky? What's wrong with you??? Never mind, the time it would take to answer that would qualify me for El Patron Duelist.

I considered those brass sight covers for the front sight but I do not like the looks of them. I want to leave the sides of the sight silver.
I'm going to be the contrary voice and suggest you reconsider this. I've been running Slick's brass sights for a couple of years now and absolutely love them. They're great in good light and even better in low light conditions. That brass just jumps out at you. But when all is said and done you've got to like the look so I totally understand if you stick with your current plan.

Checking for high primers is not something people should be doing while firing or at the loading table.
Jeeze Mom, you take the fun out of everything.

I recommend against using snap caps for shot gun practice because they're too heavy. I say that because the added weight can let you get away with being lazy and or bad habits when shucking that you won't be able to get away with using empty hulls. For loading weight means nothing. Adrenaline during the stage means you wouldn't be able to tell if the shell weighs 10 grams or 10 pounds. But when it comes to shucking spent hulls, weight means a lot. Use empty hulls for more realism and thus better practice.

With your SASS loads-You don't need one.

Ha, shows what you know. Can't use them in SASS anyway. Besides, I do shoot more than just SASS.

Ensure you give the "Evil One" some trouble the next time you see him at work, LOL!!!
You sure HE'S the evil one?

To all those suggesting dry cleaning after wet, I don't even own a vibratory cleaner anymore. Once you go wet you never go..........dang, I got no rhyme. Anyway, love the idea of combo wash and wax. Will give that a try. Also, thanks for pointing out more isn't always better. I definitely use a LOT of Dawn and Lemishine.

I assume if the bill becomes law the number of people building and buying will drive the cost down. When that happens I'll be buying BIGLY.

I've never really cared how shiny my brass is as long as it's clean. Since switching to a wet tumbler with stainless steel pins though I've changed my mind a bit. Brass comes out looking like new but it's brass so it doesn't stay that way. I use the Dawn and Lemishine mixture for cleaning. Is there anything else you know of that cleans as well but will also keep the brass sparkling?

Take Lumpy's advise
Now THERE'S something you don't hear very often.

The most frequent solution I've ever heard of is some witches brew called Ed's Red. I've never tried it but it's sure gotten raving reviews.

In answer to your question yes, there used to be a guy that got on my very last nerve. Was always the first shooter to the loading table before the posse even fully arrived at the stage. Had already read the stage instructions and gotten his guns loaded before I had a chance to start reading the instructions to the posse. In the middle of my reading he'd be prodding, "Shooter ready. Let's go. Shooter ready." He'd get even more impatient if one of the other members of the posse needed a little extra explanation of the stage. "SHOOTER READY!" I'd stop reading and glare at him until he finally stopped and I was able to finish explaining the stage. The instant he was done shooting he'd race to the next stage before anyone else even had a chance to shoot the current stage. He'd be standing there waiting on us impatiently and the process would begin again. He wasn't a member of the club but a frequent visitor from a nearby town. I found out he was that way at every match he went to. One match with him was more than enough. I demanded to never be stuck on the same posse with him again.

in my experience the positives have not outweighed the negatives so I will continue to shoot and produce a traditionally lubed bullet that has served me very well for 15 years of CAS shooting. Try them and see they may just be the bees knee for you but they were not for me.
I'm not always as observant as I should be so please help me out here. Can you list the negatives you found? I want to start paying attention and see if I'm suffering from them and just haven't noticed.

Way to go Creeker
My kind of shoot
So-who's gonna watch 'Mongo' this year?

Don't even bother trying, he's too fast.

The "Why?" As in, why on Earth did they make it?

I had the privilege of knowing Curly Sue. She fought a hard battle.
No matter how she felt, she showed up to matches with a wide smile and pleasant disposition. Curly Sue was an inspiration.
The entire Las Vegas cowboy community feels the loss.
Prayers up for Montana Prairie Dog and the entire family.

^ This X 1,000. She was always a joy to be around and will be dearly missed. Prayers up for PDawg and the whole family.

If you shoot Duelist and are old enough to shoot Elder Statesman at EOT 2017
When you fill out your entry request Elder Statesman Duelist, if they have enough to make a category in the comment Box.
I know of 4 Members who would like to shoot Elder Statesman Duelist.
Bighorn
Does it have to be my chronological age or how old my body feels?

Top level golfers have what's called a pre-shot routine. It's a specific list of things they do before each and every shot to ensure they're physically and mentally ready to make the best shot possible. I believe shooters should do the same thing before every stage. Do everything on the list in the same order every stage to help ensure you shoot the best stage possible.
1. Before you get to the loading table, go over the stage in your mind two or three times to ensure you've got it down.
2. Check your ammo supply including your shotgun belt.
3. At the loading table concentrate on one thing and one thing only, loading your guns. One last check of shotgun chambers to make sure they're clean. Five rounds in first pistol. Spin the cylinder to ensure no high primers. Check to make sure base pin is in the correct position. (I earned four misses for this once.) Five rounds in the second pistol. Spin the cylinder to ensure no high primers. Check base pin. Make sure hammer is fully down on rifle. Ten rounds in the rifle. Check to ensure lever "catch" is out of the way. (I ate a LOT of time and ultimately earned six misses because of this once.)
4. Close your eyes and run through the stage a couple more times.

RBK is 'rite'. Nut'n shows up.

Really? I thought he retired from shooting a few years back?

At least I know how to run........ AND NOT FALL DOWN

I solved that problem. I don't run anymore.

Actually "clean" my competition guns 2x a year. Wipe them down every so often if I happen to think about it.
And I will NEVER shoot a major match with a clean gun.
I am a firm believer that more guns are damaged by "cleaning" than have ever been harmed by lack thereof.
I don't change the oil in my car every time I drive it; I'm certainly not cleaning my guns every time I shoot them.
My opinion only and many others think otherwise.
^ This X 1,000. After cleaning it's imperative you function fire all your guns. Not just dry fire, but actual loaded ammo. And that function fire is best done under match conditions. You need to be 100% sure your guns are going to perform the way you want before going into any major match. For this reason I detail strip and clean my guns twice a year. A couple matches before our state championship in October and a couple of matches before Winter Range in February.

He's tolerable. She's an absolute DOLL.
As I've said before, you're a lucky man Beaver. Fantastic family one and all.
( But don't tell any of them I said that. Don't want them to get swelled heads.
