Hello! I'm new to the sport and reloading for a 45LC to shoot in RNV SASS 45's so wanted to ask for opinions on the best lead for our game? What bullet weight and design is most commonly used? 180g? 200g? 250g ? RNFP? TCFP? Coated? PS Any favorite vendors out there for lead and/or brass?

I'd like some advice. I am interested in buying a lever action rifle and single action revolver (ideally in the same caliber, but not required). I'm a Marine and have a lot of experience with semi-automatics, but little experience with revolvers or lever action rifles. I primarily want them for novelty and fun shooting, which makes me think I should get a pistol caliber such as 357 or 45 LC 1873 or 1892 Winchester. I have no experience with these types of guns, so I don't know what else they are well suited for besides Cowboy Action Shooting, which I'd enjoy getting into someday. So essentially I'm wondering (to figure out which brand/caliber would be best): 1. Which is better between the 1873 and 1892? I've heard that the 1873 has a smoother action, and the 1892 has a stronger action (Although I admit I don't really understand what that means). 2. If I want to use the rifle for hunting, would the 30-30 caliber 1894 be better? 3. For the 1892, is the Chiappa Alaskan Takedown better or worse than the Winchester? 4. Rifle vs carbine vs musket argument? (Picture of musket attached) 5. For the pistol, which is better between Ruger Vaquero and Uberti? Or is there a better one than those? 6. Do Cowboy Action Shooters shoot a lower caliber so they can shoot faster and more accurately? (Such as using a 357 pistol with 38 special rounds in it). Or do they typically go 45 LC or 44-40 for authenticity?

Got the jam on my 45 marlin. Aside from purchasing a new carrier, what's the latest suggestions on this problem? Does anyone make an improved carrier? Thanks!

During a recent monthly shoot, where we can shoot cowboy or WB, I had issues with cycling the ammo for my 1911. I ejected a live round, and after emptying the magazine, I pulled a round from my pocket to reload. I was told I could not load it into the pistol, and was told to take the miss. I shoot for accuracy, not for time, and this was disappointing. After the shoot, I asked the TO, and he admitted that he was not sure about the call, so I asked the club President. He wasn't sure either, hence my question here. Since we use several mags per stage: 1. After the current mag is emptied and dropped, can I insert a round into the chamber of the locked-open 1911, shoot the round, and then reinsert a full mag and resume shooting? Or, 2. After the current mag is emptied and dropped, can I lay down the locked-open pistol, reload the empty mag with 1 round from my pocket, reinsert the mag into the locked-open 1911, and resume shooting? 3. If I can't reload a round from the body, what is the difference between inserting a full mag (5 or 7) and inserting a mag that was loaded from the body on the clock? I was able to get a lot of opinions in response to my questions, but what are the rules? I also tried to Search in the WBAS Forum, but it kept asking me who is SASS #4, and even though I've been shooting since 1996, I have no idea.
