Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I'd have liked to try the .40-65 etc, but availability of brass and lead bullets kinda held me back. That's why I stuck with .45-70; availability of brass and I have a fellow with a Magna-caster who casts for me. But I do love those big thumpers! I recently bought a new Trapdoor, in .45-70 of course, to go with my original .50-70 conversion, that Bubba's Grandfather got to. It's the one with the open breech.

Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Star-Line makes .40-65 brass ,,, or as I mostly do ( I'm Cheap ) just put .45-70 brass in your sizing die pull the handle , raise it up out comes perfect .40-65 brass minus the Head-stamp...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) GRUMP! Shot the "Come On Safari" match at Cornwall, emanating from the twisted fertile mind(?) of Johnny Cheater. ( I can't imagine what He** his poor students go through during the year!) Red Storm & I drove up in the early AM; Me anticipating a clean match, (note, I didn't say fast!), that was until the first stage and the onset of heat stroke. Oh well, ice water over my head and quiet sulking contemplation, sitting in the shade, under the canopy and I was ready to go again. A wobbly pop and supper at historic Quinn's Inn improved my morale. Now get off the lawn!!

Hey what color were da dinosaurs anyway ??? Jabez Cowboy Dino's were sort of an off grey/green. My own pet, when it was young was a Hadrosaur, but I couldn't keep up with its feed and had to set back out in the wilds. Near Calgary. Later, Buffa caught it again and tried to break it to saddle. Didn't work. It was a star bucker in the first Stampede. Edited July 17, 2018 by Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a Clean Match certificate for my efforts at the "Lipstick on a Pig" match in May. Disappointing now though that they no longer use a timer with that "BEEP" when I get to the line.

Jabez Cowboy I've been thinking about this Jabez and I think I found a way for you to have a clean match. Every time. Use the Holy Black. Lots of Holy Black. The blacker the better. Have a pard standing nearby, but out of sight, with a steel plate and a hammer. After each shot into the smoke, your pard hits the steel plate. If it clangs twice, just claim it's an echo. No-No, don't thank me. Anything to help a pard. What? Cheat? Who Me? Spirit of the Game?? What? Asked to leave? What? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Shot the Longrange Pistol Caliber lever event at the 25 th. (2016) Winter Range using my Rossi 92 in .45 Colt, placing 6 th. I was using 270 gr. bullets over a Casefull of Goex 3F... I was only 1.31 of a second behind my friend TR in 3 place , he was using a Tricked out 73 using smokeless loaded .38 specials ... I believe I was the only Blackpowder shooter in the Top Ten ... Awards were only 5 deep with only the top 5 shooters even mentioned, even though more folks shot this event than were registered for WB in total... And prizes were given out ten deep in each class in WB, if there were that many in any class... About 75% of all WB shooters got really nice buckles ... There was no separate class in the longrange Lever event for those using Black powder...
