  1. I load .38 special. Lee FCD and a chamber checker on every shell. My FCD got out of adjustment some how and I had a bunch of rounds that jammed in the rifle. Adjust die, checked with chamber checker, all ok. Another step, but sure beats problems at the line [which I have had my share of].
  2. I like it when the "starting line" is posted at the starting stage position; I try to use it. But, I admit there are times when all I can mutter is' Shooter Ready" and I try to say it as loudly as I can [hearing aids and all]. If it isn't posted where I can see it, the long walk from loading table to starting stage position seems to wipe out the starting line for me...then it's just, "shooter ready".
  3. Similar question, different caliber. '73 Uberti/Cimmeron, .38 special. Ammo: Promo powder, 125 Chey rnfp, Starline brass. OAL? Have had extractor replaced, but still have problems with ammo "jams". Crimp was an issue, but I think I have that resolved. Thanks in advance.
  4. I'm blessed to be in the Eldorado Cowboys Club. It works for me because the WHOLE club are my mentors! There's so much experience there; watching the better shooters and taking their advice has been a real treat for me. Equipment trouble right now, but we'll get that fixed, I'm sure. Watch and learn, ask questions; usually there's no shortage of help. Good luck and shoot well.
  5. Michigan Rattler, for sure.
  6. Congratulations to your son and thank him for his service.
  7. Warden, I wear hearing aids also and I can relate; wind does sound like a jet engine. If I take the aids out and I still hear the wind, I know it's blowin' pretty good.
  8. Condolences to her family and friends.
  9. I couldn't agree more, Shooting Bull.

  11. Those were some really sexy bikes. I never rode one, but always wanted to.
  12. In response to the word "costume" I was recently made aware of the term "regalia" to describe items/clothing worn to depict Native American's Powwow "dress". I think that could apply to us. My regalia is minimal at best [along with my shooting I might add], but as a former wrangler at a dude ranch and day work cattleman I dress the way I grew up. Far from period correct, but I sure have a lot of fun and meet some really great folks.
  13. Just a few of the motorcycles I've owned and ridden. My wife rode her own Suzuki GS1100G "L" after selling her first bike, a Honda 500 four. After riding my Suzuki 1100 she wanted a bit more power and speed. I owned a Kawasaki Concours which I really liked, but I think my two favorite bikes were my Suzuki GS850G and GS1100G bikes. Touring seemed to fit me best and after seeing the 11 western states and two Provinces in Canada, I feel as though I've done a bit of riding. Sadly, my wife passed in 2018 and I sold our bikes. At 80 years old, I couldn't bring myself to ride alone or subject myself to the current crop of road users here in Nevada. Rubber side down, shiney side up!
  14. Congrats, JRJ. Way to go ,Pard. Hope to meet up again somewhere down the trail.

  15. I was at a match in 2020 with you and Wrangler Ron. I got to talk with Ron a time or two, but haven't had the opportunity to meet you. The next time you're at a match in Boulder City, lets try to meet up.
