Go West

I balk at primers costing $100 and up. Category Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster The meaning of CATEGORY is any of several fundamental and distinct classes to which....... But let's not quibble.

It is common to have brand new guns worked on to enhance operation, but a new gun should work when new. Your call to Stoeger was a good idea before it was modified.

Welcome. There is information to be found online about SASS and CAS that can be useful. Check the SASS rulebook which will explain the various classes and requirements. One thing to consider is that Large Pistol Primers have been scarce and expensive which may or may not continue. .38/.357 is less expensive to shoot whether you reload or not. I get the buy once, cry once philosophy, but depending on your situation, you can purchase some key equipment that will last a lifetime and save money on others you can replace later. If you are handy, you can make an inexpensive gun cart. Look online for designs and ideas. I made one with a baby jogger ($20) and some scrap wood. Hats- a decent straw is cheap and will work year round. Don't be in a rush to get everything, you'll have a more harmonious outcome.

That's strange. I've used Lee dies for decades without that issue. Like someone said, you may have debris in your die(s).

I shot a pair of 5" Uberti top breaks for several years as a duelist shooter. My forearms would tire before the match ended so I ordered a pair of new springs and then ground the springs. They were useful when we used to do pistol reloads, but haven't done any in years.

Here's a picture.

I have an 1866 that has a ladder sight that is missing the slider portion that I want to replace with a flat sight with the jagged riser. Brownells sells one for $22 (#66H) and wondered if this would fit the dovetail. Thanks in advance.

Do Bear Creek moly bullets work with real BP?

Thanks to the people who put together another fine match. Thanks to the winners, it was a tough crowd.

My '73 had two ftf at the last match. The spring had evidently weakened over time. I thought maybe the firing pin had worn, but Ol #4 adjusted the spring heavier and the problem went away. I'm glad this was discovered at a monthly.

Get well soon and be better than ever.

Funny story about those holsters. Thanks for the memories. Ask HC about them sometime.

Don't overlook a used shotgun that has already been tuned.

Ammo that matches your guns or vice versa.

Wow, that's quite a list.

My wife has a .38 Special AWA that she loves. It does develop issues over time, but Lassiter gets it back into shape. It probably needs some massaging every 5 years or so. Yes, she slam fires.

Sass Alias: Go West & Aim Me West SASS #- 43710 & 44806 Location- Arizona Territory How Long CAS Shooting- since 2002 SASS folks are the best. See ya on the trail!

Hi Roger, would you send the booklet to me as a message or the email link below? Thanks j.schorman@outlook.com

'92 carbines are the movie and TV guns, which is what aroused my interest. Although some guns may be finicky with ammo, it is usually the .38/.357 that is most finicky. My .45 will chamber empty brass and is not picky about 180, 200, 240 or 250 gr bullets. Congrats on your purchase.

My hearing loss is primarily in the upper register, a range often used by women's voices. That means I have an excuse when I can't hear the wife. Many insurance companies pay some up through all of the cost, depending. A good audiologist will be experienced in submitting claims since few rely on cash customers.

After a hearing test with an audiologist, I went with Oticon. First it was one ear, then I added the other a few years later. They are adjustable with Bluetooth. I hear pretty well with only a few sound sources, but noisy environs like restaurants, etc. are pretty bad. Some of the things I think I hear from the TV are pretty comical, like "reptile dysfunction." At matches, I pull one earplug out to hear instructions and conversations. They were spendy for the insurance company, but no cost to me.
