    Hey Jack... you don't Google it, I think that you Gargle it. It's a Middle Eastern Drink. (Just a guess) Snakebite

    I know nothing about Yiildz. I tried the Sharptail and didn't like it, the Stoeger was better for this game IMO. SKBs and Brownings are hard to find, and when you do find one they are very pricy. I think that they are both good gun but not worth the price some folks are paying for them. I'm considering either a TriStar or a Charles Daly. Snakebite

    Howdy Rev. Yes, the old Rossi Hammered double is a very good gun. I've had one for 30 yrs. I don't use it for CAS any longer since switching to a BSS many years ago. As for loading my own shotgun shells my dad got me started doing that in 1963 and I've been doing it ever since. The gun will be for my wife's use. She now shoots a Browning BSS that had been cut down on both ends for a young shooter. We thought it would work out, and though It is an excellent gun it has not proved to be the best choice for her. I want to get her a gun that I can start fresh with and custom fit/tune for her. She claims to be 5' 3", but I think that she is stretching the truth a bit! She is a youthful 75 yrs (claims only 39) so I guess she can have what ever she wants. Thanks for your input. Snakebite

    That's good to hear. I bought a CZ Sharp Tail and didn't care for it.
  6. yes I did. I have removed it from view this morning. Not only that, but before I realized it was a scam I gave him my Name, address and Phone number for shipping info. In my defense, I did do some research on the person that was selling the gun and it all came back good. That was one of the reasons I moved forward. Dang.... just dumb on my part. I'm too trusting.
  7. Anyone shooting a TriStar Bristol RAISE YOUR HAND and tell me how you like it. Snakebite

    Hey you Old Goat. Get off the wire and answer your phone!
  9. They almost got me on the same sale that Murphy92 was involved in. They contacted me via email and told me that he was not going to take the SG and that I could have it. I was ready to jump but then noticed that the emails were dated the next day! They appeared to be coming from a Western Europe time zone. They wanted me to do direct wire transfer from my bank account. I didn't want to do that and started questioning them via email. They even sent me an email that came from the Real JB Sledge's email address. I thought it was him! I offered to send them a Money order but they wouldn't give me a Name, address, or contact phone number. So.... I bailed out. I reported it to the Wire Monitors. Snakebite

    Tnx, but I need a 12 ga.
  11. Alright pard. You know of course that you have always been my favorite...... RIGHT??? ;)

     What do you have and how much. My wife shoots her little cutdown Browning. It's only 19" barrel and I want something  a little longer to increase the Sight radius for her, and maybe even a little lighter.

    Has anyone tried the New Tri Start SXS single trigger? Or the New Charles Daily SXS single trigger. I tried the CZ and didn't like it. SKBs are getting like Hen's teeth to find. I want to get one for my wife to try. Snakebite.
  13. I say Horse$#!t, I've seen you play this game, and it wasn't luck. Snakebite
  14. When I am ask by new shooters if it is worth it to load your own shotshells. I assume that the person has nothing other than his empty hulls. Everything else must be purchased. I tell them that once they are set up with a loader, powder, primers, wads and shot, and are ready to start loading, it will cost them about HALF of what a new box would cost them. Whether it is worth it to them or not , I don't know. Do you think that my Ball park cost are correct? Snakebite
  15. Having been there quite a few times over the years I've found out that if you don't take both Hot and Cold wardrobes, you are making a mistake! It will absolutely rain. It will absolutely snow. It will absolutely be hotter than Hell. You can count on it......... maybe.
  16. Glad you are pleased with the results. I switched to wet tumbling a few years back after 40+ years of vibrating my brass. There is no comparison. I choose to use the SS media. After several threads on the subject with a number of guys claiming that this or that is just as good, I tried them all. They all worked plenty good enough for reloading... but NOTHING works as well as the SS media IMO. It just depends upon whether you are showing your brass at the local Drive in Car Show or showing it at the Concours d'Elegance. I prefer the latter. As for drying, I put it into a Throw style aluminum Turkey pan and put them into the oven at 200 degrees.
  17. Not sure why, but we've not been able to get our match listed on the SASS site. Our annual Fort Miller match in Clovis, Ca. has been taking place the third weekend in April for the past 25 years! It is scheduled to do the same again this year. Check us out and down load a registration form from our web site, Kings River Regulators. We have been a SASS club for 30 years. Hope you can make it. Snakebite

    Duh, yeah, that could very easily happen if I was the T.O. Accidental of course!
  19. At my first large annual match in the early 90's I had a round blow off in the magazine of a 45 Henry Rifle. It blew a large hole in my left hand. I wouldn't use that bullet style. There are a lot of Truncated cone bullets that would be better suited for a tubular magazine.
  20. Loading for the 38 special in this game is very easy. I've been loading for over 60 yrs and have always advised folks to use established loads recommended by the MFG. That is of course always a safe answer to give., and it is MY suggestion to you. For my OWN use, I've never found ANY fast powder that will not work in a 38 special for the game we play. When shooting the large targets that are right in front of the end of the barrel, it doesn't take a refined and dialed in, extensive case scrutiny load to get the job done. Anything that will leave the end of the barrel will usually work. Yep... some loads will increase in pressure a bit when down loaded, but much more so with over loaded. But remember this, 99.9% of the guns used to shoot 38's out of in this game are proofed for the very high pressures developed in a 357 Mag cartridge. The guns that I've seen blown up did NOT come from shooting a 38 special with a small charge of fast powder. Don't take all of this to be too caviler, reloading ammo can have dangerous results, but in general working at the low end of things such as we do in this game is not as critical as some folks think.
  21. Tnx for your feedback. I load my own shotshells for my wife and myself but always try to keep a few cases of "Store" bought shells on hand as backup for times that I am unable or too lazy to load. When I started looking around I found the Fiocchi lite loads, but since posting this question I came across AA lights at a decent price and ordered a bunch of them. Snakebite
  22. TNX Pard. That's what I wanted to know.
