Just so you know; the .356 lead bullets will work just fine in a .38 case; just make sure you have a good crimp. Several champion European shooters do this with no ill effects. I tried it, too. No problems at all, especially at typical CAS distances.

Definitely a prop gun; most folks in non-shooting roles get handed zinc or rubber guns. Nice catch, though...
Still better than 1892 Winchesters in the Civil War, or doubling as Henry's with the forend removed... 😉

I have handled several that came through Triggernomics, and they have all been very nicely finished, and good-functioning rifles. At the pricepoint, they significantly undercut the MSRP of the various Uberti 1873s. About $80 in easily installed parts will make a solid CAS rifle that will last an entry to mid-level shooter for years.
One of my students ordered a Boogie tuned one, and it is even better; a slick and splendid rifle for Cowboy Action.

Very clean burning, one of the most consistent powders I've ever used, and pretty much temperature insensitive. Love it - but it's a bit pricey, and hard to come by, these days.

This one hits hard. Zak was way too young...He cut a grand swath through the world of Cowboy Action Shooting, and he will be sorely missed.
Glad I got to see him and share a pleasant conversation last Saturday at EoT. Be good to those around you, folks. You never know when it will be your last farewell.
Great sadness,

Let there be NO DOUBT about it! Electricity failed. Wireless transmission technology failed. Trying to be heard over the dust, wind, and gunfire of the Arizona desert, my voice was close to failing. AND THEN! Like the hand of an angel, the Mighty Scarlett Bullhorn was proffered to my eager hands, and the day was well and truly saved!
THANK YOU Scarlett!
One hoarse, thankful cowpoke,

Another good one gone. Sorry for your loss, CS. Be sure to cherish those we have, and make memories that will last long after they are gone.
Respectfully,

I was at that match, and I think the guy on the left is Boots Rob.
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's him.
Well done! That is indeed, Boots Robb. Heckuva shooter - hey, they all were! That was a pretty stacked team...

..... for them California roads, ...... right? 🙃
Sadly; YES! The roads in California - possessor of the FIFTH largest economy on earth, if the governor is to be believed - are among the worst is the US. They are unbelievably bad. I keep the Scrambler for the 210 freeway, and trips into Hollywood.
Sadly true,

Anyone using 9mm revolvers?
in SASS Wire
Posted
Understood. 3 grains of Titegroup in that sized case should be pretty hot; the velocities that the folks I know are running are about 710-125 fps. I'd guess you were getting over 1,000 fps, which is pretty close to where leading is gonna become an issue.
The tighter 9mm bores won't hurt!
