Scarlett

Let’s gang up on him at the Spring RoundUp! Hugs!! Scarlett

NIGHT SHOOT!!! Night shoot!!!! You will have sooooo much fun!! Tommy and I will be there! You have made family stuff a priority enough! You get THIS one! LOL! Bring Laura! Here’s @Ruff Kut shooting the night shoot! IMG_8589.mov I really hope you can make it! Hugs! Scarlett

That happened to me with some 32 HR mag cartridges - changed bullet profile cause it was what I had but they wouldn’t chamber all the way. Didn’t do what @Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 does - reseated and had that sliver of lead around mouth. They chambered FINE! It was unloading them that was a pain. I was at a match so I got my handy dandy pocket knife and removed the offending sliver! Fortunately, I did NOT have 600! I am usually smarter than that - you change one thing - you CHECK that it’s gonna work. Lesson learned! Big hugs! Scarlett

I offer .427, .428 and .430 bullets. Traditional lubed (wax for smokeless or APP) and Hi-Tek polymer coated (good for smokeless or APP). Big hugs! Scarlett I don’t want to violate wire rules. Maybe @Colorado Coffinmaker will vouch for me

If anyone needs something from me, please email me at bulletsbyscarlett@gmail.com I’ll be coming from another match and want to make sure I have what folks need! I can’t wait to see the club, shoot the side matches and catch up with wonderful folks! Big hugs! Scarlett

This is one of the most under valued and FUN matches around! Tommy and I have so much fun there! The Boy Scouts are FABULOUS and really hustle getting the carts to the right stage! And, they know how to use a variety of brakes! The Ohio cowboys and cowgirls can COOK, too! @mean gun mark is already planning the menu - ribs, brisket… OMG! It’s all so good. I cannot recommend this match more! It’s fast and fun - but different shooting down and across a ravine. You WILL have fun! You won’t be hungry and you’ll make a bunch of friends and reconnect with a bunch more! Hugs! Scarlett Mean Gun Mark slicing the ribs! View from ALMOST at the top! This jail is a challenging stage. You can see the targets through the bars.

You’re TOO late, @Krazy Kajun! My hat done be on da stretcher already! @Boaz and @Crazy Cryder got a LESSON at EOT! And, @Widder, SASS #59054, I was right to shoot your Marlin in NC when I first met you! I was right to listen to you about shooting GF! Hugs! Scarlett

as a DOUBLE COCKING gunfighter, I would start in the center and do 3,4,3,2,3. TADA! Hugs! Scarlett

You are sweet! I am RECOVERED and ready for any an all orders! Big hugs! Scarlett

It’s not… I’d love this stage! I’d do P3 P3 then work outside and back in on both sides ending with a double tap on P3! Fun! Hugs! Scarlett

WOW! Wasn’t this your answer on a recent different thread? Crazy how a little part - spring and detent can impact something so much. Hugs! Scarlett

I shoot 32 HR Mag in my pistols and 38 Spl in my rifle. First time I wet tumbled at a friends house - didn’t occur to me. The 32 fit EXACTLY inside a 38Spl case! I hand sort before I tumble and it does NOT MATTER… I always miss one or two. Hugs! Scarlett

Already shipped yours and 4 others that were ordered today! Thanks @Badlands Bob #61228 for the opportunity! I’m sorry that it came at your expense, so to speak! These Bolt Block Kits made by @KingSnake are really handy! Comes with punch and extra pin material. Big hugs! Scarlett

Here you go! https://bulletsbyscarlett.com/shop/Bolt-Block-73-66-to-remove-extractor-p582691504 Hugs! Scarlett

It’s very simple. Remove bolt and use the handy dandy gadget. See pictures. the block holds the bolt for 73 and/or 66. punch, comes with kit, out the pin. Dont move the block and you won’t lose the pin. You can reuse it. see how dirty it is? Doesn’t take much to build up and raise the extractor so it can’t grab the case rim. SHINY and clean! line up extractor and bolt. Insert pin. Hope this helps you! Big hugs! Scarlett

I do this. If I try too hard, I mess up. Widder never told me to not listen or @Krazy Kajun… or not to double cock…Double cocking works for ME! Hugs! Scarlett

And, don’t forget to remove and clean under the handy dandy new extractors! The carbon build up gets under it and, over time, lifts the extractor and it can’t engage the fired case. I have a handy dandy gadget for such. Glad you’re back in business. You remind me that I need to add one to my travel kit. Glad you came to SC. Hugs! Scarlett

I was in Norfolk, Virginia a year or two ago eating lunch after touring the USS Wisconsin. My Daddy served on her. Anyway, get a text from FedEx that 120# of smokeless powder had been delivered and signed for by E. Tipton (me). I live smack in the middle of the city less than a block from the Courthouse and I’m several hours away - there’s two huge packages labeled EXPLOSIVE/HAZARDOUS on my stoop. I was furious. Called ShootersWorld, they RAISED all kinds of hell with FedEx. Powder was there when I got home. During Covid, drivers were allowed to sign. If it says signature required, it better be MY signature. If driver has permission to sign and something happens to package? No recourse. FWIW, I get to know my drivers, thank them, compliment them to their supervisors, and tip them generously at Christmas. Hugs! Scarlett

I do the exact same thing as @Badlands Bob #61228 Exactly. Though he does it quicker than I and probably more efficiently. My brain can NOT alternate. I “generally” shoot odd shots Left and even shots Right but double cocking works with my brain and allows me to change leads without crossing over or really thinking about it. I agree with Bob, too, on split pistols with a gun in between. Without, I move with the guns - why? Because I’m a GUNFIGHTER! Frontier Cartridge Gunfighter! Big hugs! Scarlett

For clarification: I have NO INTEREST in slip hammering. I am still curious about the folks I see go around… fast shooters - what I would classify as top 15%…at a state match. With less than a second or two separating places, a go around could cost a win. @Captain Bill Burt I ONLY shoot Jimmy Spurs pistols ! He’s the best! He said, “you don’t need a short stroke, you need a smooth stroke” and, get the full hammer strike. Half cock prevents any go around for me. And, the set back triggers are killer! Hugs! Scarlett

I’m with Sarge! I disassemble/maintain my own equipment - guns and presses etc. I know my limitations - they are few but I know them. Wink wink Longhunter is a SUPER guy! Jim@longhunt.com Hugs! Scarlett

It’s such fun!! You will love Alaska and all the nice cowboys and cowgirls!! You won’t be disappointed!! GO! Hugs! Scarlett

I shoot FCGF and do not slip hammer. I did for a time when I first started and viewed it as a bad habit for ME - I shot between a lot of targets! lol. This past year we traveled a LOT. I shot with folks from all over and noticed… shooters who have a lot of go arounds seem to slip hammer. Seems to me that in slip hammering, some function is not performing as it should and firing pin is not engaging the primer properly… @Red River Ray SASS#33254 on rifles: lever, trigger, lever, trigger… does the same not apply to pistols? It seems to me that an awful lot of time is wasted going around… thereby eliminating ANY gained benefit of the method… Hugs! Scarlett

@Whip Callahan @Zeke come over to NY every year for the NY State match. @Lawman and @Serenity live in Canada and come here for EOT and Land Run. Great to see you at the SC match! Hugs! Scarlett
