  1. That's what I meant, the word 'inadvertently' is important but missing on p. 14.
  2. If it's not unfired it is fired. But a round that didn't go off may still fire on the 2nd or the 3rd or the 10th hit, or worst case spontaniously after a couple of seconds if it's a hang fire. I witnessed a hang fire some weeks ago on a 9mm at an IPSC match: first a click and when the competitor wanted to rack the slide the gun went bang. A round might be 'attempted' or 'engaged' or whatever. But as long the powder is unburnt it is unfired and hazardous.
  3. SHB V27.4 states on p.14 that 'Leaving unfired rounds in a revolver is a Miss penalty.' Probably, that rule was meant to address overloaded revolvers, but it's written as it is. And an unfired round is still unfired if you attempted to fire it. However, later on p.21 and p.27, the word 'inadvertently' is added to the context which changes a lot. Someone should just add 'inadvertently' on p.14 and everything would be unequivocal
  4. If you wouldn't declare malfunction I guess you'd get a Miss at the ULT because of an unfired round in the revolver.
  5. We'd call that a Sassy Sue Sweep. There is no official SASS library that defines sweeps and sweep names can vary from region to region. If you want to assign a P for a wrong target order in a 'Nevada Sweep' you need to reference the SHB. Stage instructions need to be concise. So, always write down target order (2-3-4-3-2 or 4-3-2-4), too. But until today, I probably would have given a P if someone started a Nevada Sweep not on one end of the target array...
  6. That's a really beautiful guitar and I bet she sounds fantastic! What a great gift! The 335 got mentioned, but the Casino's counterpart would be the ES-330 as they are complete hollow bodies, hence the trapeze tailpiece, and the neck joining the body at the 16th fret. Also the P90s do sound quite brighter than humbuckers. Just different guitars for different purposes.
  7. What does 'standard' mean to you, max SAAMI spec of 1.600" or the rounds you shoot normally? If the AOL of this ammo is above 1.600" and this issue is not noted on the box then I would return it to Bass Pro and expect full refund. If the AOL is below 1.600" I'd ask Henry why their rifle doesn't eat those rounds.
  8. Not only just some French song, la Marseillaise is the French national anthem
  9. I was told to keep a screw and a plastic wall plug of the right size for my brass in my gun curt to remove broken cases from the rifle chamber. Never hat to use it (yet... )
  10. But it must have been a Buntline custom order, that barrel looks way longer than 8" envisioned without the knot
  11. Not sure, if it's what Warden Callaway already described, but the pictures below show the common design in Europe. You can remove each ring separately from the stove to adapt to the size of your conical pots and adjust how deep the pot is in the fire. And yes, when removing the lid the flames flare out of the stove. Alternatively, you can leave the lid and use every pot or pan you like. Usually, there is a container where's always hot water (like on the last picture). I used such fire stoves a couple of times in mountain cottages.
  12. The shells you posted look like MagTech to me, would be CBC head stamped. The cannelure is less deep than Winchester's. MagTech brass is all what I shoot and reload in .45 Colt because I bought a couple tousands factory ammo when I started this game and MagTech was the only affordable brand over here (Switzerland) for Cowboy ammo. I never had an issue so far with the cannelure shooting rather steady loads compared to others (6.0 grn of VV N320 under a 250 grn bullet in my rifles). While I quite dislike CBC brass in 9mm for their narrow primer pocket I encountered no seating issues with the large primers in .45 Colt.
  13. If there's a miss one cannot say which target was engaged. So, with the round that missed the shooter could have engaged the target that was already down and all targets were engaged.
  14. Many thanks, it was a pleasure reading your article! What a shame that I missed the registration for that match but I am looking forward to this year's August when I participate in the Open German Championship in Philippsburg
