    Next month La Sombra will be sitting at the kitchen table filling primer tubes by hand, and thinking "dang I wish I still had that filler, what was I thinking?"   :)   

    Well he's sure welcome to swing by the ol McBoomboom Lead Mine in Indiana for a cup of coffee and to use the primer filler whenever he's feeling nostalgic for it.

    I’ve recently tried some other’s black powder lubed bullets.  They have a regular lube groove, but BP friendly lube.  I have to run a wet patch through my rifle after every stage.  When I use Big-lube bullets, I don’t have this issue.  Do I NEED big-lube bullets?  Maybe not, but they work perfectly for my purposes!

     

    And I don’t WANT to shoot APP!  It is a fine substitute, but isn’t the same as real BP.

    Ditto across the board. Especially on APP; definitely the best sub currently made, but it don't boom right, and it don't taste right.

    What side matches do you usually have?  I'm thinking of coming, pending some family commitments that may or may not get confirmed.

    In addition to the night shoot, we'll be having a couple warm up stages (with plainsman mini match instructions as well), speed rifle, pistol, and shotgun, and possibly a couple of extra surprises.  Hope to see you there!

    Try this guy, he makes dies for Stars, apparently. I had a .511 die made by Magma years ago, so the material is there.

    Will do, Slim, thanks. I tried contacting him on Facebook, but I'll try castboolits. I've got a 513 for 50-95, but trying to get a 515 for 50-70.  Appreciate the advice!

    Since LEE made all of the original Big Lube bullets, including the PRS, MAV Dutchman, Snakebite, EPP-UG, 44Slim and 45Slim, DD-ROA, J/P 45 and pretty much everything DD ever sold, they could possibly re-cut them. But it will probably take a batch order to make it worth it.

    I have talked to Lee, they claim they don't have the patterns, and pretty much told me they have no interest in trying to remake them, and damn near verbatim told me to get lost when I asked if they'd work with me on re making them.  I've been working with Tom at Accurate to re create some, but he's not always comfortable making the lube grooves as big as I want them.  We're getting there. In the meantime, I have most of the standards, (some from Slim, some from Dawg, and wherever I can find or design them), and am working with other cowboys via email. Dallas@theboombrothers.com 

  6. It's time to start getting those plans made and those applications in! The SASS International Black Powder Championship is back at beautiful Paradise Pass in Etna Green Indiana! Come shoot a great all black powder match, whether you're a full time Soot Lord/Lady, or just like to dirty it up from time to time. Three days of smoky fun from Aug 23-25, featuring 11 main match stages, a 3 stage night shoot, side matches, live music, on site camping, and great fellowship with the best pards and pardettes you could ask for! Link to the application is below, look forward to seeing you all there!

  7. I genuinely wish you fellers would at least have the common American decency to wait a little longer between listing awesome stuff, and at least let my divorce fund recover a little bit. I mean, eventually, if I keep buying cowboy guns,  she's gonna boot me and my cowboy guns to the curb, and I'd like to have some reserves left when that happens.

  8. And just wait, 44-40 is only a gateway drug! Before you know it you'll be fiddling around with 38-40, 32-20, telling yourself you can quit anytime, 40-65, 50-70, 50-95, it's just one more caliber, I don't need to, it just sounds fun, 45-75, 32-40, and before you know it, it's three am and you're researching how to make 577/450 Martini Henry brass out of 28 gauge brass shotgun hulls. Welcome aboard!
