Two Shoots

No brass, but I do have a tool head and dies that I'll include. Dies are Lee decapping, crimp, and seating.

Title says it all. Like new, almost too pretty to shoot, almost! A very handsome made in USA Winchester circa 1980. It's had a few rounds through it, probably less than 100 and includes original box and literature. $990 + shipping to FFL. Face to face possible in KC area.

I asked the same question regarding a 38-55 lever gun and this was the response from the Match Director: "You can use 1894 or 1886 lever guns. There are other shooters that use them with success. The real issue is our targets are meant for big bullets like the 45-70. We have a few shooters that use 40-65's, they don't always knock them down. Your 38-55 depending on bullet weight would knock over our smaller buffalo with no problem. Our buffalos weigh between 20lb and 70lb. Hope this answers your questions."

The distances were 150 to 300 yds. The buffalos are different sizes ranging from approx. 18"w x 12"t to 36"w x 24"t, so it's designed to simulate shooting full size buffalos at 600+ yds. There were 3 "herds" of 12 buffalos with one in each herd being very small. 3 shooters fire at a time, with each getting 5 minutes to get off 12 shots. Each shooter gets a chance at each herd for a total of 36 shots for the day. Scores are based on knocked downs, hits only, and if any time was leftover.

Kudos and shout out to the Illiowa Regulators for a great Buffalo Shoot. The range facility is spectacular, the shooting was fun, challenging, and entertaining, and the host & match director could not have been more helpful and accommodating. If you're into long range cowboy shooting, try to make it out there sometime because this match is a hoot! Many thanks to all of the Regulators for putting on a superb event!

Did some 357 magnum and none took one cycle, some took two, and some took 3. Also, a few casings blew through the collet and into the drop tube. Overall, it works ok, better than the hammer style if you have several bullets to take apart. If you only need it occasionally, hard to justify the expense and effort to mount on a wall someplace.
