COLORADO JACKSON

I have never heard a valid argument for rank points that made sense, after reading this, I have still never heard a valid argument that made sense....

EXACTLY!!

Rank is no different in small matches versus large matches, it is not a complicated system, very easy to score. The smartest thing I have heard stated in this debate is "If you score a match with two different methods and end up with different results, one of them is wrong", The largest problem with rank is it punishes shooters differently who commit the same error. EX: One shooter may get 50 rank points for a miss on a stage, another shooter might get 95 rank points for a miss on the same stage, how is this correct?

This is funnier!

This is funny

A buddy of mine had an Elmer Fudd hunt at his deer lease this year, and the requirement was you had to use older style lever or pump guns, no optics, I watched his father in law shoot a nice deer at 125 yds with one of those dang Lightning pump rifles in 45 Colt. One shot....dead where it stood, never would have believed it if I had not seen it with my own eyes!

This is a good read, but realize the portion on coated bullets was written a year and a half ago, although there was great information on coated bullets in the article. The three major concerns with the bullets are correct. 1. The number one requirement from the manufacturer is that the coating must be applied properly to get good results, I ordered coated bullets from a dozen or so casters when I started wanting to shoot coated bullets, and all were different quality, some good some bad. 2. Care must be taken in the reloading process to load any bullets including the lead, plated or coated bullets. Seating and crimping in two different operations is good advice, like Dillon does with the 550 and the 650. 3. Accuracy...The owner of Cimarron is an avid IDPA and USPSA shooter, when I introduced him to the cowboy bullet offerings,he graciously bought the molds to start loading cowboy bullets right away, they are now his biggest seller, he took the 105 38 Poly Coated Hy-Tek bullet he coated and shot them out of a Ransom Rest at 50 yds, with a 5 inch revolver and they shot a 1 1/2 inch group at 50 yds, he was amazed, said it was the best group that gun had ever shot, he was use to more like a 4 inch group using a plated bullet at the same distance. So done properly, the Hy-Tek coated bullets I would say are pretty accurate. Not to sound like Cimarron is the only good bullet caster, there are many, he is very good at what he does, and very knowledgeable on the product he sells, and priced very competitively, I would suggest to anyone to try the coated bullets with an open mind, you will not be disappointed.

Where did you get that small cabinet behind that Mec shotgun press, I could use one of those in my gunroom...very nice and way to neat!

The Cowboy bullets he has in Candy Apple,(looks like maroon metallic), and Gunmetal (looks like dark lead bullet), and his standard color is the copper-rust you see on the website, I have several shooters in OK using them. Would be glad to send you some samples.

He does have that bullet available, it is just not on the site yet, available in several colors, I have some with me I would gladly give you some samples, my samples are the gun metal color

Deuce we will talk at WR, I will make you a believer my friend! Over drinks of course....

Yes i will, I always have 10 or 12k with me and will deliver to any range I shoot at or can meet anywhere in the metroplex......no charge!

I sell the Hi-Tek Super Coat bullets for Cimarron Bullets in Wylie, Tx, he bought a special color called "Gunmetal" for Cowboy bullets and it looks just like a lead bullet but is coated. Sell thousands of that color to local shooters, they really like them, cant tell they are coated, you should try them.
