  1. Several ways the edge may have been burnished originally. Pictures might be helpful to point you in the right direction.
  2. Paul Bond is certainly on the list. My dad has a pair of dress boots they made in Shark that are almost 50 years old. Granted they aren’t worn every day. I’ll probably go see them but they are certainly the highest cost of any of the makers I’m looking at. my existing boots just aren’t holding up at all. I did 3 sets of soles, and at this point it would be like putting a brand new set of BFG’s on a Hugo from a junk yard.
  3. Looking for recommendations of someone to make a pair of stovepipe boots to my measurements. Only got 3 years out of the first set of Abilene boots I bought, and the most recent set the quality has gone downhill. I had an appointment with David Espinoza in Phoenix to get measured for a pair, but unfortunately he passed away before we could get them started.
  4. I believe the best group to target is the 45-65 age group. These are the ones who’s kids either have moved out or will be shortly, and who’ve generally gotten to a point in their careers that they have the disposable income to get serious in the sport. It sounds good to try to get the kids interested, and that they are the future of the sport, but as already mentioned they are far more likely to move on when they head to college or get exposed to the fumes (perfume, and exhaust fumes).
  5. Ladle pour and develop a cadence to follow through the process.
  6. I just still had the sense not to make it public.
  7. Pretty sure that is referred to as showing your age when that’s your point of reference.
  8. Get a couple stepped on per year, only had one or two that I couldn’t get back to shape and use again.
  9. If it’s truly shooting low, and not shooter induced, then yes shortening the front sight will raise point of impact. That being said, I would venture to say the majority of SASS shooters have never actually confirmed where their guns are shooting, and have never adjusted the sights to make POA and POI match.
  10. Adding Wads or increasing powder charge. Either will work just have to see how the rifle responds to it. I drop tube my powder, add a .030 fiber wad and compress .200 with a compression die, then seat a .030 poly wad. Paper patch bullet patched to bore diameter is then slip fit into the case. My bullet is well beyond the start of the rifling. At some point I’d like to be able to recover a few fires bullets from this combo to see if there is any finning happening which would indicate I should make a taller wad stack.
  11. I start using more compression and see what it gives you. I’m loading 112gr of Swiss 1 1/2 in a 50-90 with .200 compression. Also be interested if you are seeing any correlation between your cleaning, and velocity changes.
  12. I know I have some Fiocchi shells that will occasionally stick in one barrel of my clays gun.
  13. The competitors can certainly be involved in manipulating that thing. Just come help setup and tear down for the match. You will become familiar with it.
