SGT. ELI 35882 GUNFIGHTER

Murphys Gun Leather by Persimmon Dan in Evansville, Indiana. There should be plenty of examples of his work in your area. He understands what is needed for competition holsters and does attend the State matche in your area.

No 44 mag, but have shot 44 specials for years.

One of my favorites, along with Tennessee State, I never miss either one.

1 oz. of 7.5, Claybuster grey wads, and 13 grs. of Titegroup is what I use now.

Try the different styles before you buy, personally I hate the flat butt stock. And although the Uberti is called a competition model, it's really not. Spend the difference in the price of a standard and competition on a quality gunsmith built gun. Marbles tang sights....I had a bench full at one time pulling them off of shooters guns, no good for cowboy action.

A thing to consider besides barrel length, is the buttstock. Rifle-crescent Carbine-shotgun 1" longer than rifle U.S. Marshal carbine-1" shorter, same length as rifle. Then other special models come with a flat "competition" stock. Forearm length can vary also.

Is the 1860 a Pietta or Uberti?

SKB model 100 for me. If you're talking about the single trigger Stoeger I have no hands on experience with one, but I hear nothing but complaints about them.

I'll buck the trend here. Even though I shot a hammered sxs for years in Classic Cowboy and will always like them, I prefer the single trigger SKB with inertia triggers that is properly set up for light loads.

If the bolt is not going forward enough, Lever and links in full lockup, you have a headspace issue. Links not in lockup, you have a bent lever. If it is a cut and weld short stroke look at the weld to make sure it hasn't cracked.

You lucked out, dies just came back in stock last week.

Are you seating and crimping in one operation? I seat, then use crimp die.

Normal.

West Side Renegades, Evansville, Indiana Spring Roundup in May. Wartrace Regulators, Wartrace Tennessee in June are 2 of my favorites

I have about 2,000....I suppose you want them too.
