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

Cowboy Carty did 2 for me. He does fantastic work and his after sale support is simply fantastic! Totes

I like the halo LED light to see into the cases when needed. I have a RCBS Lock Out Die in all my tool heads for each caliber. I like the Inline Fab press stand and roller handle. Double Alpha Primer tube filler is a must for me. Then, another full 750Xl setup for large primer reloading. Totes

Not apples to apples, but before they legalized leather base pads on 1911 mags in WB, I couldn't make it through a match without having to tape my palm after pinching it in the mag well. No one ever called me. Totes

Great idea! Also, did LOCAS disband? I sure don't see/hear anything regarding LOCAS at matches like in years past. 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

I really, really tried to like elastic shell loops in a shotgun belt, but I'll stick with leather double loops. I've went through 4 different Shotgun belts with elastic from various makers and ended up getting rid of all of them. For me, when it's time to replace my current rig, I'll probably Frankenstein a rig together from various makes. There are things I want/like, but not a single maker I've found yet has them all. Totes

Thanks for the info, I didn't know what press it was for other than being for a MEC. @Yul Lose Is this still something you want given the info on what it is? Totes

Here is a view of all the bits in the package. Again, not sure if it's complete, but other than a bushing, it appears all there. @Yul Lose, If the OP found one, I'll send this out to you. Totes

One tricky scenario you will need to account for is if you have a stage where non big bore shooters use both pistol/rifle on shared targets, such as a long progressive or continuous sweep. You will need to write the stage so that the DB/TR shooters know which targets to engage with pistol before shooting the further targets with the TR/DB rifle. Also, as Hoss pointed out, make sure you know the range/stages well so that you ensure the shooter can clearly see the further targets from the rifle position. We have our targets poked back in the brush/trees, so there are a couple stages where we have limited positions for TR/DB shooters can shoot the rifle from. Another consideration is there will likely be less larger/further targets on a stage than the WB rifle/pistol targets. So, trying to have similar rifle sweeps can be a challenge. For example pistol may be 2-3-2, so you could might want to write 1-3-1 for the TR/DB rifle to keep within the 5-6 round average and still be 'close' to the same sweep as the pistol. The firearms info, loading details, etc are all in the WB handbook. The real challenge is when you have to write one match that includes Cowboy, WB, Cody Dixon, DB/TR and Sharpshooter scenarios using the same stages/targets with mixed posses. Totes

Ya gotta tip the TO before the stage and in cash! There are some double cockers out there that are really hard to count for. There's a smokey double cocker around here that falls into that category. I think folks don't yell "one more" for fear they miscounted and don't want to stop the shooter. But the TO needs to know which rules apply when the count is off and unfired rounds are found. Totes

I just rummaged through my bucket of 'stuff' and seen this. Is this what you are looking for? I don't load on a MEC, so no idea if this is complete, but it's never been used and I'll never use it.

Are you looking to install it into a straight or pistol grip stock? Totes

LQ, I have a full setup, but it's out of a .45LC rifle with pistol grip. Totes

I'll take the SKB parts and the brass Carrier. Let me how to pay ya. 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

WB numbers looking good this year as well. Totes

Around here, I've seen individual stages setup like this, but almost all were based on knockdown targets that didn't go down. Removes the inconstancy of 3 spotters not agreeing on the number of misses that need to be made up. Just count the standing plates. Hosting a full match of this would need some good spotters. Totes

Yeehaw! It's going to be a fun one! Really looking forward to the WB match as well. Totes

Thanks Maverick. I was about to post the same link so folks could get registered. Totes

Big NO to steel shot in SASS/CAS. Lead shot only. Look for Winchester or Federal Low-Recoil Low Noise rounds. they will be sub 1000 FPS on the box. Many like like the double AA's and I've seen some shooting the Federal.

If I were just starting out from scratch without components and only shooting Smokeless in the Winter, I believe I'd just buy factory low recoil shells and reload for Black Powder when needed. With the cost of powder, primers, shot and once fired hulls what they are right now, you're likely not going to save enough to make it worth the trouble. Totes
