ROA's and CCI#11 caps
Col. Cornelius Gilliam, SASS#5875TG replied to Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409's topic in SASS Wire
I've had great results with the stock ROA nipples and CCI No. 11 caps. Never seen the need to change. No problems if they are seated good during loading. -

I personally would get a gunsmith to silver solder it. -
Ruger Vaquero transfer bar

I broke three a little over ten years ago. All broke within a few years time frame and Ruger supplied replacements, free of charge. -
Our club has had buckaroos shooting 22s for years. I don't see a problem with it as a special category during the primer shortage. In my experience, the 22LR pistols are louder and easier to spot for than some of the really light 32 or 38 special pistol rounds. Having good, hard AR steel that rings helps. YMMV.

BP plastic shotgun shells
Col. Cornelius Gilliam, SASS#5875TG replied to Bittertrigger's topic in SASS Wire
I like the Remington STS or Nitro hulls, but they are hard to come by in my area, so I reload them multiple times. I mark the base for each reload. I inspect each hull before loading and get between 2 to 5 reloads. I don't clean the hulls between use, and have had no shucking problems. -
I use the Claybuster CB0175-12, 3/4oz wad published load data (link above in post #9) for my wife and son. Have tried both Red Dot and Clays data. Both worked great, but I'm using Red Dot since I have quite a bit. Red Dot is dirtier, but what does it matter for CAS. This summer my son actually ask me to bump up his load (minimum published Red Dot load). As he has gotten bigger, he how feels it is too light/wimpy.

9mm powder etc

I like Titegroup for plated or jacketed. It seems to burn too hot for cast bullets, causing some problems. However, Universal works great for cast lead bullets. I stock both.
