    Yesterday I posted about Genix and Fiocchi primers and reported no incidents reloading. Well…….may have been hasty pursuant to Genix sml pistol primers. I loaded 800 38spl with 400 primers using Fiochhi and 400 rounds with Genix primers. This AM I found many Genix primers not seated all the way. Some were ‘high primers and some were elevated enough to cause drag in revolver. It was enough concern I had to check/reseat all 400 rounds of Genix primers with hand primer.  The first 400 rounds were loaded using Fiocchi and had zero problem seating. When  I switched to Genix primers, I changed nothing on my RL1050. I did use new brass when I started using Genix so the primer pocket is not an issue. 

     

     

    UPDATE to the UPDATE:

    I just went back and checked everything on my loader (rl1050) and cranked the primer adjustment allen a full turn to increase seating depth and ran 50 rounds of Genix (38spl) with no primer seating problem. I guess the lesson for me is when switching primer brand, always check depth and do not assume all primers work the same. I don’t have a wife, but if I did she should have caught this. Maybe I should retire from SASS and take up building model cars. I’m finding I will NEVER learn all there is to know.

    Will continue to use Genix primers but the jury still out when using my Hornady LNL as there is no way I know to increase seating depth as it is fixed as part of the primer seating plunger assembly. So heads up to LNL users.

    @Tucker T Fudpucker this is exactly what you were experiencing! Hope you got it fixed!

    Sorry everyone, 349 is me.  We were getting all the details sorted out and it turns out I'm slow on emailing the info needed. I can't tell you all how excited I am to be a member of the order, and I really appreciate your bringing me on board.  Thank you! 

    I AM THRILLED!!! Congratulations!! You are absolutely a JEDI!!! I’m proud to call you my friend, too! 
     

    Dallas is a great guy - but beware! :P
    He shoots FULL LOAD BP at full speed ALL the time! It’s such fun to watch!  He’s super SMART, too! Here’s proof! Love you, Dallas! See you in June!

    I feel like a thief!:(

    You need not fret!  It was an honest mistake and you are doing all you can to fix it. Plus, you have the Wire witnesses. Would you like me to post about it on Facebook? 
     

    Hugs!

  4. Thanks for this post. I am a dealer for Ginex primers and trying to get people to try them is difficult. I have not had any issues with failures to fire either… I tell folks to at least try them and, until they fully trust them, use them for practice and save the federals for match ammo. :)

     

    Hugs!

    Most of the "Head Down" generation won't play a game that can't be played from a couch on an electronic device.

    That is simply not true! Red Dead Redemtion - a video game - has brought in several young people

    that I know. 
     

    If we make blanket generalizations - “SASS is dying” (it’s not based on the number of new shooters buying ammo from me to get started and what I see where I go).  Or, “young people” aren’t interested then we get what we get - what we deserve. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Everywhere I go if the opportunity arises, I tell people what I do and if there’s a club near them, I tell them!  
     

    Spread the word near and far! It’s the most fun EVER and when people see it, they see how much fun we are having and want to play too!

     

    Hugs!

    I occasionally find a deal on things on Gunbroker.  I just bought two used RCBS lockout dies for $30+shipping.  Non FFL items.   

    Thats a good price! They’re usually twice that for one! However, at twice the price they are a bargain compared to getting a squib!

     

    Tommy and I use GB for a reference AND we occasionally find something we are looking for specifically…

    This is a twofold thing. To get people loving CAS/SASS you must get them interested in our Old West heritage.

    At the first match I attended, they had a sign, “We don’t rent pigs”. I asked, “what does that mean”. :wub: The shock on everyone’s face was clear! Went home, watched ALL six hours of Lonesome Dove while Tommy (hubby) researched the rules and what I would need. 
     

    I’ve learned a LOT about Old West Heritage as a SASS member, shooter… and big fan of pretty much every western movie!

  8. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this family! I sponsored the Junior Wild Bunch Shooters at EOT and Skrap P and Sweet K Oss stopped by the tent to Thank me!! I’m just glad none of them have found the fun of Frontier Cartridge Gunfighter! :PIMG_0523.thumb.jpeg.d2068509b77a94c86436a8d41ae1c76f.jpeg

     

    Thank you @Chicken George and the whole family for being such a big part of the game!

  9. Tell everyone you encounter who you are and what you do. Go out to eat after matches in your cowboy clothes… that draws attention. 
     

    If we want to save the shooting sports thereby protecting our Second Amendment rights we have to look outside of just gun shows and people who are already gun people. I had only  a shot handgun for the first time in October 2011 and saw my first match in August 2012 and was invited to shoot a stage (was HOOKED) and shot my first cowboy match December 2012! 
     

    EVERYONE is a potential SASS shooter… we limit ourselves if we don’t see it that way. 
     

    Hugs!

    PS cards with match info are great to hand out. Make it easy for them to find the info and show up.

  10. @Hells Comin you nailed the weather forecast! 
     

    I didn’t get to shoot the match but heard sooo many great comments about how good it was all around. Really wish I could have shot it - but I was glad to have been able to be there and vend. Next year! 
     

    Big hugs!

  11. @Flanigan Flats I am the SASS dealer for APP… however I can only ship by the case which is 12 pounds.

     

    As @Abilene, SASS # 27489 said, Shooters World Multi Purpose Black IS APP 3F and is carried by many online retailers - Natchez, Grafs, Powder Valley, Midway, Midsouth Shooter Supply, and Scheels who will ship by the pound. 
     

    Thank you, @Tully Mars for your willingness to share some of yours! I appreciate it. 
     

    Hugs!

  14. Howdy Wire Pards!

     

    I got to meet a SASS Wire hero tonight! @Garrison Joe, SASS #60708! He’s a super nice and humble guy - didn’t get why I was fawning over him and wanting a picture! He’s so knowledgeable about so many things! His posts and replies are kind and thoughtful. So, for those of you wondering what he looks like… here he is! 
     

    Hugs!!
