I got a bunch of #9 at a garage sale. I mixed it with 71/2. Probably didn’t need to!

Unique if you can find it. It’s occasionally available. I got lucky, basically have a lifetime supply! You can load any cowboy gun with it, from 32SW to 45-70. Plus shotgun.
I also use a lot of Bullseye, and Red Dot. These “older” powders are very versatile.-

None better than Missouri Marshal. And he is great to work with. Tell him what you want, he makes them, ships them with an invoice.

I just bought one for my D550 for loading rifle rounds.

Not to highjack a thread, has anyone ever tried it for 45 Colt?
If memory serves,(I’m at work, don’t have my data present) I think 4.5 for 45 Colt.

My brother used to say I should just wear the boxes his boots came in!
I have big, wide feet. 14EEI’ve been wearing Twisted X brand.
these have proven to be most comfortable for me.

Bond. Pretty easy to lighten up hammer spring. (They come with one from a 59 Buick!)

Agree, Bullseye is a great powder and does go a long way.
Disagree on not being temp or position sensitive. I too have loaded thousands, many thousands, of rounds of .38 spl (and many other calibers) with Bullseye. My experience with light loads (under 3.0 grains) in .38 spl, when used in cold weather, is that the first round out of a holstered revolver can sometimes perform almost like a squib round....the bullet comes out of the 4 5/8" barrel...barely. It ONLY happened in cold weather and only with the first round out of each revolver, never at any other time. After multiple occasions where this happened, it was enough times that I switched powders for CAS pistol rounds regardless of temperature.
I’ve never had that issue. I’ve shot in really cold weather. Sometimes down in the 30s here in S Texas 😁! And all the way to 100F+🔥

3.0 with 105-130s for me. I’ve loaded thousands. Bullseye is a good powder. Not temp or position sensitive. Regular or magnum primer. An 8lb jug goes a looooong way. 18,666 rounds!

Pleasure to meet you Jack!
yes, nice match. Was a little windy Saturday, but Sunday was nigh onto perfect Texas spring day.
Thanks to the Cabs for putting on a nice match. I never shoot there that I don’t think of 2 fine folks who were very active in building that range.
RIP Barb Steel & Jim No Horse.
And congrats to my Pard Totes Magoats on the overall win.

I’ve found once you start slip hammering (as a 2 handed shooter) it’s pretty hard to go back. I don’t think many dualist slip hammer. I’d strongly suggest you master dualist before trying.

I saw this recently. Kinda ugly but it works. And if it ever rains in S Texas again will be handy!!!!

I’d think of it as least possible penalty, which is the P. There is no competitive advantage gained in knocking both down. It was a “brain fade” P.
Having shooter stop at position to shoot again was improper coaching that impeded shooter. Shooter is entitled to a reshoot.
look at it this way. If shooter shot rifle or pistols at wrong position, would you require them to come back and shadow shoot the targets from correct position?

Most have been 5 shots on a paper plate at 3-5’. Really close. Start with muzzle touching table. Start your own timer. Usually takes <1.5 seconds to win That’s why it’s start your own timer. Can’t jump the beep that way!
Pocket pistols are fun to collect and shoot. Not real expensive. It’s fun imagining where they spent most of their life. Gamblers vest, sportin house madams garter belt, under a bar. Bad guys boot.

We stocked on locally grown icitrus.
Ipdate: I ate an orange and a grapefruit when I returned to our campground. They both were tree-ripened and very tasty.
When I was a kid we lived near Kissimmee Fl. (Pre-Disney). We had about 10 acres of trees. Eating fresh citrus from tree will ruin you for eating store bought oranges! We also enjoyed fresh squeezed juice.

3.0 Bullseye with either 105 (pistol) if 130 rifle has worked god me. 40K rounds +/. Bullseye is not temp or position sensitive. Excellent powder for our game.
you can load over 18,000 rounds with an 8lb jug!

Yea, I got the email on the Dillon’s deal. Basically a free case feeder. But a Dillon 750 without a case feeder is like a car without tires!
get a spare parts kit. Yes Dillon will replace broken parts, but this way you don’t have to wait.
get the tool kit. Very handy.pass on the primer filler. Try one of these

well worth the money. Pecking primers is my least favorite thing about reloading!

I had a 40 hour/week job with no weekend work when I started so every weekend. Then in '01 got laid off and from then on worked two part time jobs that were both weekend work, so down to 12 per year at the lowest. When I retired from those jobs a while back I got back to every weekend.
2021: 46
2022: 46
2023: 37
2024: 41
Of those, 5 each year are annuals of the area clubs.
No wonder I see you at every match I go to!!!
272,000,000+!
Will it make 300,000,00???-
