Tried a cascade pod as a case cleaner tonight
Choctaw Jack replied to Roland Thunder's topic in SASS Wire
Ran a batch of brass with dish washer detergent and a little Lemi -shine.It came out clean and somewhat shiny, but not like using the pins and carwash with wax. Also ,the primer pockets weren't nearly as clean. So, for now, I'll keep using the pins. -
Long Hunter Shooter Supply has them listed on their website. They also have the retaining nuts and the spanner wrench for them.

Contact Ken Griner T Griner Gunworks. If he has one in stock, he can work his magic on it and ship it out, no need to look elsewhere for the best available.

BW, Not a bad movie (Natalie Portman?) Good watch to kill the time. Or, as my wife reminds me, you can always watch it through your closed eyelids. Good luck, and get better soon! Choctaw

I need to clean some .38 special cases for an upcoming event. Since .38 is not my usual match caliber, if I ruin a few it won't be critical. So, I think I'll try the dishwasher packet in the wet tumbler, and see what happens. -
I think Taylor Sheridan is trying to develop too many projects at the same time. But if I had taken on a share of 600 million dollars debt, I would probably be looking for more income, too!

Rules question regarding when pistols are shot last
Choctaw Jack replied to Neo Bandito, SASS #68435's topic in SASS Wire
In the matches I've shot around our area, this has become an accepted practice. There has been some discussion about it with the shooters that do it this way seem to take the attitude that if there's no specific rule against it, it must be legal. The other camp seems to believe that if stage instructions allow it,it's allowed. If not, revolvers will be returned to leather. Seems to me that the only advantage would be that the shooter would gain the time it would take to holster one pistol. Probably wouldn't matter to gunfighters or double duelist. Choctaw -

Ken Griner, Griner Gunworks Just picked up a pair of Ubertis from him today. His info is in the Merchants' section. Choctaw -
+1 to Chicasaw Bill I've made several sets of loading strips in pine , oak , and walnut using the same method. 2 strips of wood, about 1.25 inches by 11 inches or so and~ 3/8 of an inch thick , loosely joined at one end with a Chicago screw. I drilled 20 holes in two rows offset from each other in one strip and a 1/4 inch hole drilled in the end opposite the Chicago screw. A loop of bootlace threaded through both pieces and back over itself works to hang it from your belt from a knife handle, and you're good to go. I use a half inch Forstner bit for .44 and .45 and , believe a 3/8 inch for .38. The things I like about these strips are that when you lay the strip on the ULT, when you open it up the cartridges stand upright. After loading, close the strip and tuck it in the back of a belt, out of the way. I know most of the experienced shooters know all of this, but it might help a new shooter.

I wet tumble, use carbide dies, and powder coat my bullets. No more bullet lube residue. It's a long way around to accomplish the same end, but it works for me. Choctaw

Maybe lightweight botas instead of chaps or chinks.

Best way to remove (what I think is) Renaissance Wax
Choctaw Jack replied to JackSlade's topic in SASS Wire
Does it look like old varnish? Some old-timers used to varnish their waterfowl guns for the water-proofing varnish gives. Metal, wood, everything got a coat. Some of it was really tough to get off.
