Totes Magoats

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

I got my eye on the Frontier lever .22 with the threaded barrel. Not for CAS, but just as another .22 host when playing with the supressors. Totes

Looking at the Cabs website, it shows the match is from 8:00 - 3:00. What time is hammers down? Trying to figure out how early to leave for the match. Totes

The timer won't register the shots when dry firing. I just use it as a par timer. for instance, I set it 6 seconds, hit start and try to get 4 shotgun shells, pulled, dry fired and shucked before it reaches zero and beeps. Totes

I have the Pact 3 timer. I like the hold then release to start for the button. The other I see around the local clubs are he pocket pro 2. Both are great and have a ton of features. For short dry fire sessions where par times are needed, I just use my iPhone and the free shot timer app.

I have the Aimtechs. 2 Pistol and the Lever action model. Mine are the infra red and I have had zero issues. Had them well over a year now and probably have close to 100 hours use on them. I think I got mine through Optics camp online. They helped me get all setup when I received them. Never an issue. Totes

Looking forward to it. It'll be our first time to shoot Bayou Blast. I hear the vittles are good. Totes

I have a Thumlers Vibratory tumbler. Works great, quiet, no issues.

I recently saw a set of Rugers that Boomstick bead blasted for a club member here. It was a two tone job so just the top strap and top of barrel and sight were done along with the ejector rod housing. Looked great and would cut down on that shiny issue.

When I first tried CAS, I wasn't setup to reload .38. I bought 1000 rounds of ammo from Georgia-Arms. Didn't have a single issue with their ammo. I kept all the brass and then used it when I was tooled up to reload .38. This may be the simple way to start, it was for me. PS. I just checked their website again, 1000 rounds (Canned Heat) is only $250.00. I just looked at some price tags on my bench, I will let you do the math. 1 LB bottle of Bullseye - 25.99 (7,000 grn / pound) so depending on your load.... 1 Box 1000 Federal SP Primers - 35.99 500 Once Fired .38 brass from gunbroker - 45.00 500 Precision Bullets - Molly coated - 39.00 Totes

I like seeing a lot of awards at a big match. I have no problem with awards outside the top 5 or top 10 overall or in each catagory as long as only the top overall receive the Cadillac. Totes

BTW, A couple of use has sent them a request for a Plainsman side match. If others are interested, send them a reuqest via email. We would love to see Plainsman on the schedule.

I emailed Patrick at BadMan bullets and he stated Poly are a no-go with Real BP without a grease wad. Subs are fine. I have heard mixed stories with the Moly (Bear Creek Bullets) and BP, but I would still want some sort of lube with real BP.

I've been shooting them for almost 2 years now and I like'em. A single patch down the bore is usually all that's needed. I shoot the ones with no lube or crimp groove so I get the most flexability with OAL and now only buy a sigle bullet for all our cowboy guns.

I'll add another vote for the Cimarron 89. Johnny Meadows slicked it up and cut the barrels to 20". Points and shoots great. Cheaper than an SKB.
