  1. I wasn't planning on using it in my revolvers, it was always intended to be used in my Henry lever action. I saw this on their website and saw a statement from henry that their frames can handle +P ammo.
  2. I alternate cocking and shooting (cock left shoot right at the same time then switch). The only way to get good and fast at this is lots and lots of dry fire practice. Eventually you won't think about cocking at all (at least that's the goal).
  3. I recently bought HSM 325 gn 45 Colt +P ammo from the local Bass Pro Shop. I am shooting it out of my Henry Big Boy. It shoots just fine but due to the bullet sticking out .25" higher than a standard round of 45 colt, it does not like to feed from the tube. The only way I can shoot the ammo from the factory, is by single loading it through the ejection port. I bought it so that I can use it as a self-defense round while out camping and such. For all the reloaders out there who have far more experience than me, what's your opinion on reseating the bullet to standard depth. I reseated one and when I shook the bullet, I couldn't hear any of the smokeless powder bouncing around like I can on the normal bullets that I haven't messed with and I am not sure how much compression is happening if there is any. Is compression something I should worry about as a problem with smokeless powder (I understand that it's not needed but will it affect the pressure curve upon being fired if it is compressed)? I am mostly trying to avoid blowing myself up. If all else fails I at least bought some expensive brass.
  4. I am Selling a Wood Gun cart for $100.00. I am the second owner and this cart served me well. I recently upgraded and need to find a home for this puppy. It is well built by a furniture maker. This cart features 5-gun ports, an umbrella, a large ammo box at the base and a smaller toolbox up top. The wheels are solid rubber and very durable. For anyone wanting to get into CAS on a budget this is an excellent cart. The entire cart collapses into 5 pieces and can fit in the back seat of my Camry. I prefer face to face transaction and am willing to drive within the state of Arizona for delivery, however if you are an out of state pard, then shipping is on you.
  5. if you get shot gun chaps that zip from the top down, you could zip them down to above the knee and then they would be open on the lower leg. that way you could kinda do the best of both worlds situation.
  6. As a young person in the game, It would be wise to have both a Facebook page and an Instagram page (as most people my age are on Instagram). On my page on Instagram I see lots of reels (short videos for you fuds) of individual shooters and also cowboy mounted shooters. Things like that inspired me to join a year and a half ago.
  7. I'm in said Rio Salado gun club and would be interested in what you've got.
  8. My vote would be an 87. In my opinion, all things being equal with practice and being slicked up, an 87 is the best of both worlds between a double and a 97 with reload time, plus I just love the cha-chink of the lever.
  9. I recommend talking to some of the longtime shooters about technique (especially with the revolvers) and then practicing that technique with dry fire at home (always check that its unloaded first and then practice shooting at something you don't mind destroying anyways). Especially since you said you have Vaqueros it's fine to dryfire them, but you might consider finding some snap caps anyways. I would do the same with the rifle and shotguns (get some dummy round and practice loading and firing the shotguns).
  10. Can we do that out here on the west coast?
  11. It seems like the issues with the website were solved. Everything looked normal.
