I hear Major is gonna be shootin' cap and ball guns this match.
Any truth to this rumor?
Being that he's Major he'll probably be totin' Walkers or Dragoons.
Now that would be cool!

Cap and Ball gunfighter is the only way to roll!!
Im gonna put this match on my radar for next year.
Love to have you join us pard! Cap N Ball gunfighter is a hoot to watch!

Glad to see so much interest for our BP Match! Can't wait to shoot with all you fellas.

The TO at the match last weekend commented that my CZ-USA hammer coachgun was shooting about a 4" pattern. My Magtech hulls were loaded with 10 gauge plastic wads.
This evening I shot a target with 10 gauge plastic wad loads and another with 12 gauge 1/2" wads. The powder charge and shot weight were the same. The distance was 12 steps and fired from the right barrel of the CZ-USA.
I marked the shot holes with a Sharpe to make them easier to see.
Boy the 1/2 wads really leave a hole in the pattern hey pard!? That is what my experience with them was also.
-
Anybody tried a 12Ga plastic wad cut down to be just a shot cup on top of the fiber compression wad?? Good?? Bad??
Coffinmaker
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.

Would those wads be the short red CB1138's?
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

Will the RCBS 12 ga. Brass reloading die re-size the 12 ga. brass case ? The info states it will roll crimp, no mention of resizing.
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!

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!
