  1. Lefty Wheeler has retired. Check his website.
  2. I'm jealous that you can load .32's with the Bullet Feeder. I've used a Double Alpha Gen 1 for years, & recently replaced it with the Gen 2. I bought the Gen 2 about 5 minutes before Dillon came out with theirs, or I would have the Dillon now. The Gen 2 works well enough (.38's coated) that I couldn't rationalize switching now. Uncoated bullets didn't work well for me, but I didn't try it for long. I load the 38's on a 1050 with the DA Gen 2. I load .32's on a 650, & it takes a LOT longer to crank out the .32's, as you can imagine. The .32/650 combination is a considerably more finicky also. But, that's what the little woman likes to shoot, so that's what the little woman (Ophelia Payne) gets to shoot. I'm just thankful that I have a shooting partner that insists on shooting every weekend, rain, sleet or snow year-round. And, she has no faults & she looks good, too. No, she's not for sale. Find your own!
  3. No problem for T-Square. He never misses anyway!
  4. Kajun had some good fishing right out his camper door. Max & Ophelia Payne will be there for sure, including camping at Ray Beech's place.
  5. Hey, guys! I like a fine powder for consistent loads & reduced clumping. 777 works great! My recipe for the 9000 is 28 bushing, 7 1/2 shot, 1 OZ, Pink CB1100 Claybuster wads, STS Gold hulls (so I can tell 'em from my Green smokeless STS). That'll give you 24.4 grns of 777. Makes all the smoke you need & will knock 'em down. I used some I made in 2021 in the Georgia State BP match. 1st of 6 in my category & 3rd overall. They worked great for me. And, I personally hate the universal bar. I tried it for awhile, but changing the settings was more complicated for me than just settling on bushing recipes. I also use 777 for Ophelia's 32's on a Dillon 650. It doesn't clump like APP & GOEX, neither of which I could make work. I am using APP for 38's on a 1050 till it's gone. Then, I'll switch to 777. Good luck! And, hope to see you soon. Tennessee? Southeast Regional?
  6. I can say without hesitation that I have no idea!
  7. I cleaned Ophelia Payne's aluminum carrier in the UltraSonic with Simple Green. It ate the anodizing off. Good news is she's been shooting it that way for a couple of years, & it doesn't function any differently. Looks like a Titanium carrier now.
  8. Your spot is saved, but we haven't received your registration. Just talked to Pete, & he promised to get it out.
  9. I started with 2 Evil Roy .38's 12 1/2 years ago. I was having trouble with one right out of the box. I was ordering some holsters from Bob Mernickle & mentioned the trouble I was having. Bob said, "I know somebody who will want to know about that!). 20 minutes later I got a phone call from Evil Roy, & he said, send that gun to me. It's got my name on it, & I can't have that". I sent it to him & he had Ken Griner fix it at his cost & sent it back. Needless to say, I was impressed.
  10. Remington STS reloads work best for me. I almost never have a stuck shell. I do brush the chambers & then run a 3" patch every 2 or 3 stages. If I shoot Winchester AA's, I can count on a stuck shell, no matter that I chamber-check every one with an EGW checker when I put it on the belt to shoot a stage. And, that's after doing the same brushing routine as with STS. I'm slow enough without adding time to fix stuck shells. I use AA's for practice & warmup stages, & that's it!

  11. Camping reservations were full last October. However, due to some unforeseen physical surprises, 2 spots have opened up. If you want one, send me a PM ASAP! And, follow quickly with a completed application. Go to https://www.srscowboy.com/events.html for the application. All spots have 30 & 50 amp & water. No sewer, but there is a dump station. The Georgia State Championship is one of our very favorite shoots, & Fast Eddie does a fantastic job making everyone have a great time!
  12. We thought you were teaching a shooting school!
  13. Cowboys & Indians used to sell them. I don't know if they're still in business?
  14. We're all fixed up with camping reservations. See you then!!
