Chapman, Kansas is just east of Historic Abilene, Kansas. Right off of interstate 70. I can get you better directions if you like. We have plenty of room for RV campers... But it is a dry camping, with no hook-ups so come prepared. Main match and long range all in one spot, so no traveling around for side matches. Would be great to have ya!

All right folks... Entry forms can now be found on our website. http://butterfieldgulch.com/matchinfo.html I hope to see you there, you don't want to miss it!

In a strong action like the 92,or what I shoot... A Marlin 1894. I have had awesome luck with alliant 2400.

Great loading blocks! I have nine of them! I like the fact the rounds pop up when set it on the loading table... makes it easy to get the rounds out. Ya won't go wrong getting these folks !! Major Art Tillery

How I wish I had the money, love the look of half round/Octagon barrels. Free bump for ya! Major

BPI does have a book out. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/855248/bpi-reloading-brass-shotshells-1st-edition-shotshell-reloading-manual

Boy the 1/2 wads really leave a hole in the pattern hey pard!? That is what my experience with them was also.

I have tried that, it worked just fine. Sure was better then dumping shot right on just the fiber wad (blew hole in shot pattern. I just went to the full platic wads for simplicity... was easier then cutting the shot cups off. Major Art Tillery

Yes those are the ones pard.

You can check out an article I wrote for the Cowboy Chronicle April 2015... page 38. I have changed a few things like from the fiber wads to the red shotgun wads... but lots of good links and such. http://www.sassnet.com/CCArchive.php

Loaded these with say APP maybe 8+ times, I have yet to resize any of them. I figure the low pressure of the BP sub never really gets them to expand to much. BUT DANG THEY ARE HOT TO PICK UP!
