If you don’t feel comfortable competing against some of the best shooters in the world join the Rangers and help make it happen, there’s plenty to do and Rattlesnake Slim and Hellbender are a couple of great pards to work for.
Thanks for the compliment, Yul, but I'm not the "Hell" you're thinking about

Having about a dozen different videos of shooters at your club looping continuously on a laptop will draw lots of folks to your table at a gun show.

The bullet is a 158 grain RNFP by Scarlett. I only use starting point of 5.0 grains of True Blue so pressure should not be a problem. Having said this I also have 125 grain truncated bullets from Missouri Bullet Company I am going to load a few dummy rounds and cycle through the action, later today.
I also use 158 grain RNFP bullets by Scarlett in my 1866 and have never had problems with them. I load them with either 3.2 or 3.4 grain Trail Boss (yes, I still have some) to an overall length of 1.50. I've also used 125 grain truncated cone bullets by Scarlett and others in the same gun to an OAL of around 1.45" with the same Trail Boss load, again with no problems.

+++ to everything about dealing with Outlaw Gambler before and after the sale. He's especially great with relative novices like me!

At our last monthly match I arrived at a loading table just as one of our most experienced, top shooters was opening the loading gate on one of his pistols. He drew my attention to it, showing me spent cartridges that were still in his cylinder from the previous stage. Smiling all the while, he told me, "That's a Stage DQ for the last stage." He self-reported it and that smile never left his face for the rest of the match!

I bought a Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited a few years back that had a XS Sights adjustable rear ghost ring sight which I didn't care for so I removed it from the receiver and stored it away. I just came across it and am now offering it for sale. I've still got the single mounting screw and I will include it with the sight. Brownells has this listed for $58.50 + $7.95 (minimum shipping).
I'm selling it for $45 shipped.SOLD PF TO FLACO JOE -

Kajun, just a single can? If it was a can per P I know I'd leave with a 6-pack
. Sounds like a fun match!Hellbender

Kajun, drive safe and have a good trip! I hope you can make it here for Bayou Blast March 10 - 12. If I don't see you then the next time it will be at the Cherokee Cowboys April match in Gainesville GA (if my plans don't change, that is)!

You're right Possum--I logged on to correct myself and see you got to it first!

Hi there Kajun,
You won't be THAT far from your old home town so how bout planning to shoot with us in Lake Charles on January 4th?

YES...your proposal is not the same as sewing R/P loops on the front of SG ammo loopslide.
You are simply modifying shotgun loops into R/P loops as I understand it.
Yep, that's all I'm doing. Legal after all....Yahoo!
-
Oh well.......but wait, I was talking about sewing two shotgun loops together, not sewing a P/R loop onto a shotgun loop so it looks like this ruling does not apply to my situation, only to the original posted question, right?
-
YES
Great, thanks for the confirmation!

I had two loops on the right side of my canvas shotgun belt sewn together in the middle around a .38 special cartridge case. That formed a small, perfectly sized loop to keep a cartridge and also two additional small spaces on each side of that loop where I can keep two more cartridges. I had the same thing done to the next two loops. I would think this is SASS legal because the spaces between the sewn loops never were shotgun loops to begin with and the two additional cartridge spaces formed on both sides of the sewn area, although they used to be shotgun shell loops, are now compressed down to the size of a .38 cartridge and therefore are no longer shotgun loops. Is this shotgun belt modification SASS legal?
how are Servicio Aventuras Small Pistol Primers. Any experience?

I would have about 4% failure to fire with good strikes in my pistols until I started seating them deeper with a hand primer after loading my cartridges using a SDB. After that I had no problems.
