We've been buying the Armanov 100 round checkers in .38/357 & .45ACP and putting them on our raffle prize table at our annuals for a few years now. Very popular items. Whichever brand you decide on, I highly recommend getting one. They saved me in both Cowboy and Wild Bunch matches finding split/bulged cases of a number of occasions! I do like the 'marking' tray the Armanov has to mark the rounds after inspection. Totes

We use the tiny TP-Link Nano router (~$30) and run it off a battery pack phone charger via USB cable. No 'electricity' need at the range. This will sync all the tablets with Practiscore and our scorekeepers phone running Practiscore to post the scores on Facebook and send out. Quick and easy. Totes

We use Practiscore on cheap Amazon Fire Tablets (~$49 each on PrimeDay). We can get the scores out on Facebook before folks leave the parking lot from the match. For the minor differences between CAS and Practiscore, I'll take free with the ability to use cheaper tablets. The market will determine if CAS is successful with a subscription model. Totes

Blue Bayou Brass makes a nice inexpensive buckle and other custom items. https://bluebayoubrass.com Totes

That video of the OOB above should be part of the RO course. Totes

Always seems to be available on Gun Broker. Totes

You'll be faster at the one you practice more. Those shooting in the teens are not faster because of the holsters style they wear. Totes

Maybe pour a little the that Apple Pie 'shine on it. Totes

This is very true. If I hear of a big match making major changes year after year chasing survey results, I'll likely not put it on my list. There are plenty of large matches where you know exactly what you're getting, i.e. Land Run, BT, and most club annuals around me here in Texas. They don't have to be big and close as I don't mind small and fairly close, but small, far and poorly written is just not fun enough for us to spend $1K or more to attend an annual regardless of the wording on the buckle.

@Bullets By Scarlett thanks! Just placed my order. Totes

Shhh... Don't tell anyone. My unicorn stash.

Thanks for the update. It's my favorite long range powder! I have a stash, but I get asked all the time if I have seen any available. Totes

Scarlett, I've seen many of their powder offerings in-stock, but not Buffalo. Do you have any insight on the status of Buffalo powder availability? Totes

Scarlett, I won't be at EOT, but I need a Stainless one. Let me know when/how to pay and I'll get the money sent. Totes

Are you talking about the metal snap caps? I use dummy STS rounds with a pencil eraser jammed in the primer pocket and have not seen this issue. Totes

Hyespeed, Not sure your shotgun budget or if you are looking for a single/double trigger, but Johnny Meadows has a couple Baikal's all slicked up and ready to race on Gun Broker. Right at the $550 mark. If that's in your budget, it would make a great scatter gun. Totes

I bought a Bond Arms competition spring and it helped. Then a pard told me he used a SP101 spring. I had one from a pack I got from Wolfe. It was even better. No idea what lb they are, but I like it. Totes

I've used Trail Boss and of course BP and the BP subs. All my pards around here swear by Unique. I picked up a pound to try out, but have not shot any of them yet.

I've got a few and want more. The waiting is the worst. I read somewhere that the silencer shop was offering refunds of the tax stamp if HPA is approved. Not sure if it was for a specific period of time or during their holiday sales. It's the wait that prevents me from getting more, not the $200 Tax Stamp. If they both go away, I may have to get another safe. Totes

I have the Tower of Power has well. It hangs up a bit when all the way down or all the way up. I too would pay to have it converted to a better working loader.

HyeSpeed, I went through a few grips before I landed on the ones I have now. Like everything else, it's what 'feels' right in YOUR hands. I prefer a fatter grip with lots of checkering (grippy) vs. a smooth slick grip. The ones that come on the SASS set have very fine checkered so see how you like them when you shoot them. The set currently on my Rugers are from Altamont. As a contrast, my wife started with the Long Hunter SASS set. After a year, we sent them to Boomstick to half-cock and short Stroke since she started slip hammering. Now, we are sending them back to Boomstick to convert to Birdshead grip frames and she will switch to a slick pearl grip. It's all what feels right to YOU.

Simple Green straight from the gallon jug.

I've emailed the folks at Badman bullets and asked this question. They said NO to real BP, but YES to subs. I have seen other folks say they use the Molycoated bullets with real BP, but I choose to use lead and big lube bullets when I venture into real BP matches. Totes

Great news! Thanks PWB! They had been out of stock for months. Totes

I was a huge fan of the Badman .38 in 127grn, but they don't seem to be making them any more. I have switched to Precision Bullets Gen 2 coating with no crimp/lube groove and couldn't be happier. Its been almost 2 years since I switched to coated bullets and I really like 'em. I only use standard lead when shooting real BP. Totes
