A friend has moved to the Great State and is wondering if any shoots in the area of New Caney? I"m not that familiar with Houston area, thanks, Pards

thank you for this link and feedback. perfect !

Howdy Pards, I've searched quite a bit thru the boolit vendors I'm familiar with and cannot find a flat-based bullet for my .45colt needs. ie:.452 300 grain flat based If you know for sure a certain vendor has this could you let me know ? the hardness is last on the list of criteria,. thanks !

Here's a hoist of a cool one to our very good Pard, Buckshot Pete. Pete passed away last year on Oct 6th, 2023. SASS NO. 12668 Pete was well known up and down the I-5 corridor in WA. and OR by hundreds of shooters of our game, and he was the friendliest, most willing to jump in and do anything Pard there ever was. Buckshot and i shot a plethora of matches together and he will be sorely missed by the Pacific Northwest shooters.

so it will cock once..but won't again ?ie: for reloading ?

I sincerely love mine.

once u have the shell plate where u want it don't forget to re tighten the allen scres on the main shaft.Yu'd be surprised how many posts i've read where this got overlooked. The more snug the plate...within reason,..the better chance your primers will be seated right. And don't be timid about leaning into the handle a tad for a second to maker sure they seat,other wise no 'bang' until u go around and hit it again.

Oh my. I shot with Bill for a good twenty years , in the Portland,Oregon area,He and Lucy Rose were always fun to shoot and palaver with. Rest in Peace,Hellfire, we'll see ya down the trail. My condolences to his family and friends

PNW shooters, a Siuslaw River Rangers member, les Brush, aka Lecherous Lester, passed away this morning. Les had been very ill , had a liver xplant and I thought things were looking up for him. Apparently the Lord had other plans. You owe me a match, Les, I'll see ya down the trail to collect. Rest in Peace, Marine. Rest in Peace

there is one on cast boolits with must b e a hundred pictures, asking 1800.00, and i've seen that price other times too. I asked that same question on here a few years back and some said as low as 600 because of the 'odd' caliber and chamber length. I tend to think they are worth more like 900.00 but I'm no price expert, just what I feel they are worth in 'fair''/used condition imho, ymmv.

from the shooter's handbook....I:M sure local clubs <can> allow the 1901 but as I read the rules, and at bigger /regional/ matches they would/should not be allowed. No ?

I have a very early 1901,shoot it now and then ,curious why they made the finger lever 2 piece ? wiki intimates that it and the lever safety have something to do with each other, Not that I can tell unless it's after the safety 'button' goes into it's hole in the lever,and magic occurs in there ? f..AHA,further examination reveals that the tip of the safety is broken off. mystery solved. the shells i have are roll crimped, Western Expert, and on the side is 4 1/4-, 1 1/4-6.the last two I get..the 1st number is actual drams or dram equivelent ? IE: smokeless shells. ? I fired a few last year and got the strong impression they are black powder shells, look to be factory rounds. again...AHA. watcching videos of it being shot I have to go with smokeless shells. MVI_2098.MP4 thanks Pards and no I don't shoot it at matches altho our local group would allow it.

oal 1.180, rim dia. 605..case mouth .452... case dia. at base, .544, case dia near mouth, .511 basically it looks like a short ,slightly fatter....thicker brass ?? 45 colt with a bit wider rim taking spp primers

per google all dimensions wrong for schoefield. It's a good 1/8" shorter than a Colt,no extractor groove, rim is several thou. wider than Colt
