Its 2024 is your club stuck in the 90’s?
Frontier Lone Rider replied to John Barleycorn, SASS #76982's topic in SASS Wire
John, Are saying that my using Smoke Signals is outdated?? Coming up on 77, I really don't mind printing an APP and writing a check. -
I didn't check my email until late last night. I had an email that Starline was taking orders. When I logged in, the boxes were still blue, but would not accept any orders. Frustration, that is twice I have missed by just a little. Waiting for the third.

Costume question (Let's beat this horse some more)
Frontier Lone Rider replied to Shooting Bull's topic in SASS Wire
We have a couple that come to the WV State Match just wearing bib overalls and no shoes, could be the same folks. They are legal, but ouch on those bare feet. -
Logan’s Ferry Regulators- Saturday, March 9
Frontier Lone Rider replied to Dirt Slider's topic in SASS Wire
Down here in WV they are calling for a day of rain turning into snow. We didn't get that 50-degree memo, hopefully next month. Have fun. -
One thing for sure, there won't be any mosquitoes or gnats flying around your head with all of that smoke.

Except for those times that I get busy helping others and forget to put more shells in my belt.

I ordered 2,000 Zombie Green 158 grain for my 357. They load really smooth and yes, no Zombies here as yet.

I have ordered so many from Dave that I feel like we have a personal relationship. Ask him a question and he gets right back to you. I have shot many of his 44-40s with black powder and even more of the 125s 38 Specials with smokeless. I also load the 38 Specials for other pards. I have had no complaints. Dave also makes a deep lubed round for black powder. I used to order from GA Arms until they had a fire. Then I started to reload again after seven years. I tried several different vendors, then settled on Slippery Bullets and have continued to order these bullets. Plus, Dave has the best Shipping Cost around. He makes his money on his product, not outrageous shipping charges. I just received 3,000 38 Specials and have 2,000 more 44-40s on order.

New Turkish Winchester 92 /38 Imported by G-Force Arms
Frontier Lone Rider replied to J.D. Daily's topic in SASS Wire
I wonder how these compare to the Rossi Puma in 357? -
I like shooting Long-Range at all of the matches. I have used several different brands of rifles, Rossi, Winchester, ect., but prefer the Marlins. I use Marlin 336 CBs, 1895s, and 1894s for the Lever Action Competitions. I always bring an identical rifle for each caliber used in the competition. They are all JM Stamped. I have yet to use one of the back-ups.

Best lb hammer/main spring for ruger new vaquero
Frontier Lone Rider replied to Coot's topic in SASS Wire
15lb Wolfe Springs seem to work for me setting off anything I load. -
who shoots old model vaqueros
Frontier Lone Rider replied to Brushy Branch Kid SASS LIFE # 42236's topic in SASS Wire
Since I shoot only black in 44-40 Vaqueros, I guess I do. If one wants to shoot 44-40, they will always be shooting the Old Models as Ruger quit making the 44-40 when they came out with their New Models. With my backups and what I need when I shoot Josey Wales, I have eight 5 1/2, four 7 1/2, two 4 5/8 and four other manufacturers, all in stainless. I have two 5 1/2 & two 7 1/2 stainless OM Vaqueros in 45LC. I had previously sold 22 stainless OM Vaqueros to Barleycorn to get them back in circulation. -
That is true. I have replaced grips myself. I don't know how many I have seen with missing chips and cracks in the grips. Many must have used these as hammers as-well-as revolvers.

The prices of these top breaks have gone up quite a bit in the last two years. the early models were black powder only, but the later versions were made to shoot smokeless. IJ turned the Owls Head to signify whether it was meant for black or smokeless.. I shoot smokeless in the 5th versions of these Lemon Squeezers without any issues. These were never meant to be shot a lot. They were a carry gun for close self-defense. I still have eighteen after having sold twelve, a few are IJ, but not all. You do have to be aware of whether it is a black powder revolver or smokeless. One can play it safe and only shoot light black powder loads in any of them.

Thanks I will give that a try.

.45 Colt for long range shooting (200 yards)
Frontier Lone Rider replied to Willie C Tachutem's topic in SASS Wire
That is like the 45-70 at a thousand yards. Sometimes you watch it go. -
I have been checking back every day or so, but I missed this one.

I loaded from 2014 to 2016 and had enough ammo until I started to run low this past Summer. I broke out the Hornady Progressive to start again, but it had frozen. It appears that that Drive Hub, made of a different metal than the rest of the press, seized to the Sub Plate. After correcting that I was in business again. I am reloading for myself and some friends. I have more powder and primers than I will ever live long enough to use. I noticed the Winchester Small Pistol Primers I am using went from $17 to $31 per thousand. I am into the $31 boxes now. I enjoy reloading. I do 100 to 150 a day, then go do something else. At 76 I don't stay in one place very long.
