  1. Nope....I bought both of my MEC 600's, a 12 and a 20 gauge, for well under $100 each.
  2. Wow $289 for a set of dies to load brass shotgun shells! Not to mention the price of brass hulls if you can even find them. I think I'll stick to plastic hulls and a standard MEC 600 JR.
  3. I have to admire all you dark side people! Although I have considered it, it's way too much work for me. I'll just stick to using it in my Hawkin rifles.
  4. I'm registered and all set to go! Looking forward to it.
  5. I would think two misses and a P. Nowhere in the instructions does it say you can reengage a missed bottle target. He missed a pistol bottle target so that's one miss. He missed a rifle bottle target so that's a miss. The P comes in when he reengaged the missed rifle bottle target. As for the fallen rifle bottle target he should have just shot at where it was, and then he wouldn't have had an extra rifle round. The instructions above say to engage the 5 pistol & 10 rifle bottle knockdowns and standing bottles remaining are misses. The instructions do not say to engage the bottle knockdowns until all are down and put the remaining rounds on the dump plate. I agree that the stage instructions are vauge and the stage wasn't set up very well if a pistol miss can hit a rifle knockdown.
  6. I've been using 125 grain bullets in 38 Special, and 100 grain bullets in 32-20 for years. Never had a problem knocking down a target, and they are less expensive as compared to 158 grain bullets.
  7. Here are my 20 ga. loads. I prefer the WSF powder for normal use. The 3/4 oz using Unique were lighter loads for my wife. 20 Gauge - Cowboy Grains MEC Oz Shot Powder Powder Bushing Wad Hull 3/4 Unique 13.7 #20 CB1075-20 Rem 7/8 Unique 15.1 #22 CB1078-20 Rem 7/8 WSF 16.6 #16 CB1078-20 Rem
  8. Thanks for the explaination Mohawk. I guess politicians are the same worldwide making feel good laws that defy logic.
  9. Interesting......just out of couriosity why is the '97 banned in Australia?
  10. Many years ago I bougth a brand new Winchester Legiondary Frontiersman commemorative at an auction. Loaded up some cartridges using .375 jacketed bullets. That thing shot all over the place with keyholing. I called Winchester to ask them about the bore size and they wouldn't tell me anything having to do with that. I slugged it and found it was .377". Bought some .379" cast bullets with gas checks and never looked back. It became quite accurate. Won a few big bore matches with it. Starline has brass now and then. It's up for backorder right now which means you have a good chance of getting some rather quickly.
  11. Yep what Yul said. An FFL friend of mine told me once that as long as the cap & ball cylinders are in the pistol you can ship the whole pistol direct to the purchaser as they are considered antiques. The conversion cylinders shipped separate are not considered a firearm and can ship direct to the purchaser. If you ship the cap & ball pistol with the conversion cylinder installed in them they are considered a regulated firearm and must go through an FFL in the state being shipped to. At least that is what I was told a few years ago unless something has changed since then.
  12. I have two Marlin 1894's in .357 Mag. I shoot 38 Special in them. Both were very picky in what they would reliably feed. After a lot of experimenting I found that they did not like TC truncated cone style bullets at all. I load 125 grain .358 diameter Round Nose Flat Point bullets with a casing AOL of 1.380". They have functioned reliably in both of my rifles for quite a years now.
  13. Today I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. For over two years I’ve been waiting for a chance to buy some 32-20 brass. Two weeks ago I got emails from Starline and MidwayUSA that they had limited availability. Yesterday 700 pieces of brass arrived between the two. Now I have some reloading to do.
