  2. The Marlin Model 93 Rifle are good solid rifles.  I have one I shoot in Long Range Cowboy and NRA Cowboy  Lever Silhouette.  These Rifles are extremely accurate.  The one I shoot was made in 1093.  In my experience with these rifles they are under sized in bore diameter.  I shoot a 32-40 cal.  My C Sharps and my Winchesters and other rifles use a .323 bullet diameter.  The Model 93 we use a .320 bullet diameter,  This rifle will group 1  MOA at 100yds.  I won EOT with it last year and some of the EOT's in the past also a few of the Winter Range Matches also. The 38-55 is no exception under sized bullets work.  Of course it is a good ideal to always slug your bore to  determine what bullet size to use.

  3. Keep in mind the GAMM is only a side match off shoot from BAMM.  It is not an official Wild Bunch Side Match.  It was started in Cleburne, Texas as a side match in with our monthly WB & BAMM side matches. There are several local clubs that do shoot these side matches. We shoot the same distances as BAMM.  It is shot with 8 rounds.  The local clubs decide what course of fire.  No set rules as Garrison Joe said earlier in a post it has to look like an M1 with Battle Sights.  It is shoot off hand or from a rest Match Directors choice.

    I was shooting next to the shooter at EOT that year when he blow up his 45-70 Marlin Lever Action Rifle when the wooden forearm exploited  I have wooden spiliters in my left arm for weeks.  He was very lucky that day.  He spent 8 hrs in the Emergency Room at the Hospital.  I have seen two issues in 22 years of SASS Competition.

    I have Buckets full of the old Lyman and Polychokes  that I have cut to make Wild Bunch Shotguns.  The Winchester model 12's have about half the moving parts of a model 97.  Nearly all the shotguns I build for WB the barrels are cut over  23".  My son and I  shoot factory length M 12's at 26". Our shotguns have over 20,000 rounds shot in each of them in WB and WB Clays.  We have not had any breakdowns or hickups  at all.

  6. A 44-40 in a pistol or rifle will kill you a hog.  I killed them with my 1911 and even with a 22 cal pistol.  Now I don't  recommend using a .22 ,  this hog was at the stock tank when I came over the dam.  He was standing broad side at about 20 yds.  Capt Sam Evans just killed a hog in our costal field  behind  the house less than an hour ago with a 223 AR.

  7. Everyone has their own ideals about a pair of Spurs.  I was born into a ranching family that started in the mid 1800's in Texas and I have been collecting spurs since I was 10 years old.  I have cowboyed my entire life.  The price of spurs will cost you today from $25 up to and over $3000.  You can wear your spur straps with the buckles inside or out side. You can wear them right side up or up side down its your choice.  My Grand Dad was born in the 1890's and he taught me how to wear and walk with my first pair of spurs.  The buckles on the outside and walk with your feet square to your body and that will keep you from getting hung up in the saddle if you get bucked off and will keep you from getting tangled up in the spurs  when you walk.   I wear the pull thru style from the 1800,s  That's worked for me for over 60 years.

  8. Have been using them for 3 or 4 years in Wild Bunch.  I also use these loads in Sporting Clays Matches when targets are 25 yards or less.  I did shoot a round of Trap at the 16yd line with them and shot a 25 straight.  Now they did take a couple of seconds longer to get to the target than with my trap loads

  9. Cowboy and Wild Bunch Clays match in Ft Worth, Texas Saturday, Dec 15, 2018, at Defender Outdoors Sports Ranch.  Come join us for a day of shooting your SASS Shoguns.  We will be shooting both matches from their 5 Stand Range.  If you have never shot this type, of course, you are in for a treat. All pairs will be on Report.  Safety meeting at 8:30 AM.  We have age-based and Gauge based categories.  You can enter as many Categories as you like and this does include Black Powder.  All matches are 50 Birds.  Targets are set for Coachguns to break birds.

  10. Happy Jack said it all.  I have a Spolar .  It producers factory quality reloads.  The Powder unit on the machine is really accurate. I reloaded 2,000 rds Sunday afternoon. I have own mine for 7 or 8 years.  AS stated earlier you get what you pay for.

  11. The Silverhawks are a fine shotgun the same as the BSS or the SKB's.  I built one for a customer 4 years ago for Cowboy Action and it made a great Cowboy Gun.  I agree with  Johnny cut them up.  When we exhaust the supply of BSS & SKB's I will start building the Silverhawks.

  12. The advantage of the Model 12 over the Model 97 is it has half the moving parts as a 97.  They are considerably more reliable.   My M12 I use in Wild Bunch I have over 8,000 rds thru the gun without one malfunction if properly tuned. The Model 12 is not a legal shotgun in Cowboy Action only in Wild Bunch.
