Mine are simple. After watching a match or two while waiting for my rifle, shotgun, and holster rig to arrive on the big brown truck, (and I'm not a patient man), I plan to shoot my first match. Looking forward to it.

I notice some of you use different bullets for revolver and rifle. Is there an advantage to that or just personal preference. Pardon the rookie questions but I'm new at CAS and want to start this thing right. My 38 load in IDPA was a 158g Bear Creek moly. How would that be for CAS, both rifle and revolver?

McKenzie, according to Cody Conagher who is building my rifle, as long as I'm 1.45 or longer, I should be okay, but I forgot to ask about bullet weight or shape.

I understand we can't discuss specific load data but is okay to ask what bullet weight and brand of powder some of you are using for .38? Thanks

No, I think he sends the gun>

Just got off the phone with Cody. The check's in the mail.

Thanks for all the replies.

Have the two rifles on the top of the page (link below) had action jobs/short stroke kits? I'm new to CAS and want to get my rifle purchase right the first time. http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/products/cf1873Winchester.tpl Any recommendations on any other rifles on that page? Thanks
