Wild Bodie Tom Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Have a pair of worked over Schofields......... So what was the question again? 310 to Yuma.... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrswanson1 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 My 1860 seems simple enough to reload, I don't see what the fuss is about. It's certainly easier to load than my Remington 11-87. I would assume that when reloading all rounds in the revolver you pop an empty out and replace it at the same time, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 If your hav'n trouble reload'n your 11-87, I feel sorry for ya. Love mine. Best SG, Remmy ever made. 1 for 1 is how I reload a SA revolver on the clock. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Rooster Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 An now I have a new 'training' procedure! Knowing that one live round got 'jacked-out' during the stage and you are at the last target without a bullet - a decision must be made: Which is faster for me a - take the 5 second miss OR make the rifle safe, draw a round from the belt, get the round into the gun, chamber the round while gaining the target and make a clean hit!!! I already know that the 5 second miss is better for me right now, 'cauz the clock will keep ticking and it might be 8 or 10 seconds to the final shot. BUT...if I practice and I can do it in 4 or less, the answer is clear!! Of coures, even with a slower time, a 'clean' stage may be more important. MORE Practice is needed!!

I jacked out a round on two different stages today myself. reloads went good. Under what the miss would have been. I use to not do then because I took way more time than the miss. But a multi world champ told me that until you start doing them. You will never get better. So always reload at monthlys if only for the practice.

Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Did not we all buy a second pistol to eliminate on the clock 5 rd reloads and make us competitive with schofields?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Try a 6th round in each revolver ... .... gunfighter ... .... with Cap'n'Ball revolvers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Rooster Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Wallaby Jack, What sort of stage instructions could be written to do what you explain but maintain 'equal' difficulty for all shooters (C&B, BP, and smokeless cartridge)?

McCandless Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Shootin' stages with full rifle reload and ending on a single shot reload... Marshal Harland Wolff... Only wish I could go that fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Rooster Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I LIKE it!! Load shells into the rifle and shoot, do the shotgun, do the two pistols and finish with a single rifle reload!! Stage writers take notice!! Looks to me like it would not 'slow down' a posse very much. (Although for us slow loaders, it could be fun to watch the dropped rounds as we fumble to get 'em all into the rifle!!) NOW...how would this scenario fit for the BP shooters on the day??

McCandless Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Since it's rifle reloads only, would make no difference to BP shooters. (of which, aye are one)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened quite a bit this past Sunday. I saw quite a few flipped cartridges since I was one of the spotters. This was not an issue with the 1860.
