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.

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.

Not only just some French song, la Marseillaise is the French national anthem

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... )

But it must have been a Buntline custom order, that barrel looks way longer than 8" envisioned without the knot

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.

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.

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.

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

Have the lender holster the revolvers, but after the TO asks to collect all firearms.

While I don't think the described situation was unsafe in any way, I do think that it was quite poor practice. The TO's eyes are on the shooter and his/her gun handling only. Nobody else is supposed to handle guns on the stage, maybe even behind the TO's back! Although 10 shots have been shot, the pistols are not considered empty until declared empty at the ULT. Who was monitoring the holstering for sweeping, not breaking 170 etc.? Did the lender stand on the exact same firing line when holstering or were the pistols behind the shooter? Who's penalty is it if the gun drops? I certainly would have advised the lender to not touch any firearm again until the last round of the stage is shot and permission of the TO is given.

That one took me a second... or two... or a couple of minutes

Uberti uses quite soft screws and some of them come quite tightened from the factory. So, use quality screw drivers of the right size for each screw!

If only Hans knew that...

Maybe somehow like that? Then, you're likely to break the 170

I usually make two lasagnas (one to eat instantly and one to freeze) as it takes about the same amount of time and effort as making just one. The second one I bake to about 3/4, that it gets a light color. Then I let it cool down and put it to the freezer. If I want to eat it I put it to the fridge to thaw it for several hours. Beneficial side effect: you retrieve some of the freezing energy in your fridge. When fully unfreezed I put it in the oven to bake it to full color.

I only watched the movie Blazing Saddles, never the TV series, but this costume definitely portrays the character of Mongo. Imho, the 'B-' should be omited in the rule book, only saying '(any) Western movie, or Western television series'. I don't consider Blazing Saddles a B-Western movie, although Bart would almost qualify for B-Western category

My 73 tells me to wear one with every spent case! And to the initial topic: I consider it a good thing if people who have plenty of money spend that money. Equanimous Phil ...who got his reasonable priced quality headgear from Crappy Cowboy Hats

+1 for AMG LAB, I love mine with the OLED display! By connecting via BT to your tablet or phone you can transfer the times directly to Practiscore. You can set 5 presets and easy change between those. I use my presets as follows: Timing CAS (rather high sensitivity, no delay, no par times, ....) Timing IPSC indoors (low sensitivity, adjusted echo times, ...) Timing IPSC outdoors (mid sensitivity, ...) Life fire practice without TO (random delay, ...) Dry fire practice (extremely high sensitivity, random delay, par times, ...) If you just want to practice dry fire an app on your phone is sufficient.

There's this 'semi official' manual for reloading cowboy ammo with Vihtavuori. It provides data for both powders. Worked well for my .45 Colt loads using N320. VV_Cowboy_Data.pdf

That's why I came up with idea of maximum one P in each shooting string for sequence errors. In your example, it would still result in one P only. I guess the crux of the matter is also the magnitude of all the time penalties. I guess those values were chosen back when average stage times were quite longer. As I heard (I began CAS in 2018), the game changed a lot due to bigger and closer targets, short stroked guns, and probably a higher level of practiced skills. The game changed but the time penalties didn't and may become a mismatch? A ten second penalty seems like an eternity these days, so people don't want to even think about multiple Ps. But what if a P was only a 5 second penalty? (While a miss could be 3 seconds, MSV still 10 seconds, and SOG still 30 sec)
