Will my SS AMT Hardballer w/adj sights and Sharpes 4 barrel .22 derringer qualify? Only thing I don't load BP in is the .22.

Guy just getting the hang of categories I am not associated with the club, but this will be my third straight trip there. Just use BP in your normal category, and you will be fine if you want to shoot the BP match Quote
Major Art Tillery Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 Are loaners gonna be available? I believe so J-Bar... Sure Dawg will confirm before to long Quote
Major Art Tillery Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 To be in the black power match . What do I need . Just use bp in my regular pistols or actual bp pistols thanks . Guy just getting the hang of categories Just load Black Powder for your pistol, rifle, and shotgun rounds. Or we also offer smokeless too... Just scored different then those shooting for the Black Powder Championship. Any questions let me know. majorarttillery@gmail.com Quote

Fingers McGee Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Thx Dawg. No hurry, there's still plenty of time till the match. Fingers (Show Me MO smoke) McGee Quote
Major Art Tillery Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 Since this will be a side match am I correct in assuming we can use smokeless and BP in any combination? This is how I understand it as well. Sure don't shoot BP in my 1911...all though that would be neat! Will find out for sure and get back with you. Quote

Fingers McGee Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Sure don't shoot BP in my 1911...all though that would be neat! I shoot BP in mine all the time. No dirtier than Unique, in fact, I think it is easier to clean. Fingers (Show Me MO smoke) McGee Quote

Fingers (Show Me MO smoke) McGee Sweet! 2F? I want to try some... Think you could send some load info? My older brother is a "tactical" shooter... Would blow his mind if I challenged him to a shoot out with my 1911 belching flame! Quote
Flinthills Dawg Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 It will be shooters choice on powder for side matches. If you wanna shoot smokeless then do it, ifin you wanna shoot BP then do it!!! The only exception is the long range buffalo bore rifle must be in BP. Quote

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) The only exception is the long range buffalo bore rifle must be in BP. I have an original 1863 Sharps cavalry carbine that shoots paper cartridges. Ain't bullseye accurate, but it'll hit a man and/or horse at 300 yards with iron sights. What's the proposed distance to target? Edited February 4, 2016 by Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Quote

Flinthills Dawg Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 on the side match i believe the target is 46 yards out Quote
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 on the side match i believe the target is 46 yards out Cool, I think I stand a reasonable chance of hitting that. It's always a crap shoot with paper cartridges. The breech block snips off the back (powder) end of the cartridge so the charges vary a bit from shot to shot, depending on how far it's rammed into the breech. Quote
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Farthest is Buffalo at 400yds (If your talking about long range shooting) For me, that would take a mighty guestimate on elevation with a carbine! Edited February 5, 2016 by Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Quote
J-BAR #18287 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Side match or no, I'm really looking forward to this one. Make your offerings to the weather gods; lets have some fun!! Quote
