John, I will do my best to remember! Happy New Years to you and Amy! Pete

John, if you like, I'll bring my priming tool to the next LV Match and you can check it out. I highly recommend this tool. Pete

Check out the RCBS 9460 Auto Priming Tool. A friend recommended this over a hand priming tool. It sets the primer perfectly with little effort. It uses a tube to store the primers and it is quick to use. Buckeye Pete

I have both and prefer the single trigger version. My second shot "seems" faster with the single trigger version. Buckeye Pete

PM inbound! Buckeye Pete

Tall John, I use a couple of spare holsters mounted inside of the large box on the front/bottom of my large steel framed gun cart. The box is large enough to mount one holster on each side of the box. I used a piece of belt mounted to the box that mounts the holster with a couple of large head wood screws. The guns are out of the weather/dust and easy to grasp and put in my holsters. If you mount one to the outside of the small box on your cart, I would suggest a hammer thong to keep them from falling out when you move your cart. Good luck. Buckeye Pete

If you look closely at the pics with the trigger group, you will notice the barrel selection button and the trigger is gold, however the finish is worn a bit. I've had a few of these and currently have one in my safe. Buckeye Pete

Dusty, nice shooter! Bump. Buckeye Pete

JB, just for another opinion, I had both replaced, one in 2017 and the other in 2021. My Doc said that there was little to no difference in recovery with regard to physical therapy or not. I was off shooting for about 6 months for each surgery. I have full range of motion and really no limitations. Good luck. Buckeye Pete

I shot nothing but black powder for about 20 years. The first time I ever loaded the C45S rounds were from Adirondack Jack, the originator of the round and they were loaded using black powder. Just wanted a starting point for a smokeless recipe. BP

So I'm putting together a load of .45 Cowboy Special rounds for my original Colt pistols. I have 160 gr coated Bullets by Scarlett and a bottle of Titegroup. I'm looking for recommendations for a mild load starting point that I can shoot duelist. Thanks! Buckeye Pete

Whitey James, good move. Check out pawn shops and gun shops for model 12s. I've found several and most for reasonable prices. Good luck. Buckeye Pete

Gateway Kid, I've had both shoulder joints replaced and have dialed back my shotgun loads so that I might be able to continue shooting. I load 7/8 oz of reclaimed shot from the local T/S club, claybuster wads, and 13 gr of a powder that was imported from Europe called REX II. It loads and acts like Clays. Very easy on the shoulder and if I do my part, they knock down the SG targets with no problem. In fact, I shoot skeet and trap with the loads as well and they break the targets with ease, that is if I'm on the target. Other shooters notice the reduced noise from my loads, but they know the issues I have with my shoulders. Good luck. Buckeye Pete

Roland Thunder, welcome aboard from Southern Arizona. Buckeye Pete

Rye, no I did not. Pete
