Verdadero passed June 8 2024. A great friend and cowboy. He and I travelled to many matches together. He mentored me as I started cowboy shooting & reloading. Truly a great guy.
I know he is gone with Jesus now, but I’m gonna miss him

He had the exact brass I was looking for!!!! Total scammer. But he has an answer for everything! When I told him ship and I would pay on arrival he said he didn’t have the money to ship it. If I would pay shipping upfront he would send it. I guess get to a few bucks for shipping is better than nothing!!!

PerryJS just joined an hour ago and he’s got that Beretta Stampede I’ve been looking for according to his pm to me. Hmmmmm…….
He also has the 550 caliber conversion I’m looking for. I asked for him to post a picture with Hoss written on it by the item. He couldn’t/wouldn’t. (Phone didn’t take pictures Lol!) I called him a scammer and told him to get a job

Banned (of course).
Ok did get PM from him, but I saw it as a scam, but before I could report you already had it removed

Like many, I have 6. Load them up the night before. Gives me one more chance to check for split cases and high primers. Then it’s simple. To the loading table, don’t have to worry about counting rounds going into rifle. Load up, slip block in hip pocket, (no trips back to cart with ammo boxes) ready to shoot. Only way to go!
and Missouri Marshal is great guy to work with. Gets work out quickly, sends an invoice with note if satisfied send payment. (And I’d be willing to bet he has never been stiffed!)

We use 3/8 common steel. Works fine with cast Bullets. 4x8 sheet around $250.

will they fit a rugged gear cart?

Who made them?

can't be adjustable. lots of folks use a rubber pad, if its not "period" they put a leather cover over it. I have a rather ugly slip on pad on my Marlin 1895 45-70. sure tames the recoil, but it hurts my eye to look at it. I put a leather cover over it!

I'm about an hour south of Abilene. (Brownwood). Thank you so much for the offer, but 2.5 hours one way is a bit far for me right now. I really do appreciate the welcome everyone!
2.5 hrs is nothing! I'm further than that from a lot of matches I go to Check out the Texican Rangers near Fredericksburg, and the Tejas Caballeros in Blanco. They may be a little closer.
Anyways, welcome to the game. You are in for the time of your life. Look forward to seeing you down the trail.

Where at in central Tx? Plum Creek shoots this Saturday near Lockhart. Even if you don't have your pistols, come on out and shoot, I'll be happy to loan you pistols.

Thanks guys. Looks like I have some affordable (read cheap!) options.

From the handbook
A pocket pistol is a small frame, fixed sight, pre-1900 design revolver having a barrel length of four inches or less. Pocket pistols must be .31 caliber or larger. Model ―P‖ Colts and clones and revolvers with swing out cylinders are specifically not allowed regardless of caliber, frame size, or barrel length. Pocket pistols may not be used as or converted to main match revolvers.
So yes, 31 cal would be legal. I only shoot BP subs in mine, usually APP. Most of those old guns were made in the BP era, and really can't stand up to the pressure spikes of smokeless powder. I really enjoy shooting my pocket pistols, it's neat shooting g 100+ year old guns!

I think some of you guys missing the part where Hoss didn't want to spend a lot of money on a scope. Kowa and Swarovski are $1500 scopes.
yea, I ain't Jim No Horse with mountains of money to spend!
I guess my question is can I get a usable scope for <200?
-
Been dipping my toes in LR shooting. Likely going to need a spotting scope. Not going to spend big bucks, but what is about the least I can get away with? Anticipate out to 500 yds.

I've had 2 SDQs once for moving with a loaded closed shotgun, another I tripped and fell and dropped an unloaded shotgun. both earned and deserved. the dropped gun or moving are easy, nobody should get their nickers in a twist over that. the more subjective ones, breaking the 180 etc, are a little tougher. usually if somebody breaks the 170 its only for a second, happens fast, and if your angle is not just right, then its a hard one to call. they are easy to see on videos, but harder in real time.

Nothing but good experiences. I've bought and sold guns & gear. Never a problem.
The only thing I don't care for us if a seller requests PayPal (for gear, not guns) and ask that I send it as just money to a friend, instead of paying for an item. If you use PayPal services you ought to pay for them!

Great day! Great range! Only going to get better. Thanks to Judge Menday Coming and his bride for allowing the Cabs to rebuild there. They have done a ton in just a few months. Lots more room for development. The property is beautiful. You owe it to yourself to go check it out.
Even got to visit with Jim No Horse. Was good to see him, plus I like shooting with him, that way I don't have to worry about finishing last!
-
Well, I hate to hear this. I met him a year ago if so, bought a rifle from him. He was an upfront guy.
Prayers up for his family.

While I would not reload for others, nor use others ammo (except for a very select few) I would think a match worth if shotgun vs a match worth of cartridges would be about right.
-
The one thing I don't like about them is they are slicker than snot on a doorknob. I didn't necessarily drop them, just harder to manipulate. I guess if I were using a bullet feeder I might like them more.
I don't care for the red or pink ones. The ones Colorado Jackson sells are a very dark grey.

I didn't find any SASS rules for Cody Dixon & I know of a club here in Tx that allows them so I think it's up to the individual club.
You are correct in no "official" SASS rules for Cody Dixon. My understanding is this category was started by the good folks at the Texas Historical Shooting Society, and they made the rules. I have heard some clubs do allow H&Rs. As you said, since its not an official SASS category each club can make their own rules. I have found that the clubs I shoot C-D at use the THSS rules.
http://www.thss.org/rules/cody-dixon-rules/
C-D is my favorite category to shoot. Just something about the thump of that big bore rifle. I use a 45-70 Marlin 1895. I have a H&R Buffalo Classic, but it is not legal (at least at THSS) I just bought an 1885 HiWall in 38-55, it would be a "legal" C-D single shot rifle
-
Why is this not legal for Cody-Dixon?
Not sure about the Henry. I know the H&Rs are not Cody Dixon legal. Given the very simular design, I'm guessing they would not be legal either, but I'm not the one making those rules.
Where to find Rugged cart wheels

I wore out my first RG cart in about 6 yrs. Bought a new one. Used it for a couple of years. The wheels and the “wrist” hinge are the weak spots. I’ve broken several of the wrist joints. Just a weak design. The carts do work well, but not overly durable.
I went to a Range Tactical cart. They are SOLID. I think only way you could break one would be to run it over with your truck! Only questionable feature is the brake. They just don’t work well. Be careful if parking on a slope! They are spendy, but they work really well.
