    Well, I did lose over 100 pounds. You aren't the only person at the Regional I did that to. Lol

     

    Heck, I camped next to you for three days and shot in your posse and still didn't know who you were.  :D

  2. I only see BB and the crew a few times a year in Alabama or Tennessee, and he always gives me a big smile and good conversation, especially if it's having a bit of lunch after the morning matches.  They're just another example of why people love this game.

    @Diamond Jake I’ll take one and I’ll pick it up in Wartrace.  Do you / can you make one for 10ga?

    I can make one in 10 gauge, but because the holes are larger, I have to either make the tray bigger, or have fewer than 50 holes.  I made a 10 ga for Blackwater and it holds 28 shells in a block 10" by 7".  For 50 shells it will be about 14" X 9".  I can do really any size, it's just that larger sizes take more time and material.

     

    Do you want a 10 GA and a 12 ga, or just the 10? 

  4. Ever had shells falling or spilling powder and shot when hand-dipping powder or when roll crimping?  These hardwood shell holding trays will help greatly.

     

    These are made from solid Red Oak with 50 holes sized to fit 12 gauge hulls brass-side down.  I make them with a 45 degree chamfer to make them easier to pick up.  (I can also make them for 10 GA hulls, but that will take a bit longer.)

     

    The second pic shows the 28 hole 10 GA tray.  The last pic shows you can tip these a long way and the shells don't fall out.

     

    I have a few available for $20 plus shipping.  Or Face to Face at a shoot in Wartrace or at the Alabama State Championship.

     

    I have one 12 GA tray left, plus I will have a 10 GA available in a couple days.

  5. I only carry enough stuff to get me through the day's shooting; all major cleaning and maintenance stuff stays in the truck.

     

    In my cart I have:

    Shotgun chamber brush

    Squib rod

    Screwdriver set

    Pistol cleaning rod with brush

    Small bottle of Ballistol

    Squirt bottle of Moose Milk if I'm shooting BP

     

    If I have major gun issues, I'm not going to tear down the gun.  I carry a backup rifle, shotgun, and one revolver in the cart if the range is far from the parking lot.  For monthly matches I usually leave backup guns in the truck.

  6. I also had that problem with my Ubertis using wire-style Bolt Springs.  However, two of the original flat-style bolt springs broke in less than 4 full seasons.  I don't know if both springs were from the same revolver or if each revolver broke their original springs.

     

    Since then I replaced the entire revolvers with a pair of Great Western IIs (Pietta) and haven't had the problem since.

    I don't know if this would help, but one of our members, Ripsaw, created this Category Matrix that might clarify the category requirements:

    Interesting.  I hadn't realized that Cap and Ball revolvers are allowed in Frontier Cartridge.  Not sure why you'd want to register that way instead of Frontiersman, unless there weren't enough shooters registered for Frontiersman. Or if you wanted to shoot your C&B two-handed.

  8. For what it's worth, I use the bullet seating die set to not crimp, followed by a Lee Factory Crimp Die.  Very rarely will a round have a bulge, but if it does it gets fixed with the FCD.  It's nice to not have to check every round to be sure it will chamber.

  9. We had a monthly at Wartrace, and Randy St Eagle was reading the stage instructions and explaining how to get down onto the horse blanket for rifle, then up on left knee for right pistol, followed by on right knee for left pistol...finally someone realized that the match was being held on April 1.

    A little bird told me if you come to the TN State there is a great chance that you will see the fastest 97 around.

    It might be appropriate to plan a 97 shoot off!

     

    I hope it happens!
