Cemetery Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 So the specialty black powder categories as listed in the subject line, how do those rules get enforced? They all require 38.40 caliber and up, with boolit grain minimums, load minimums, as well as 12g shotgun load requirements. I know somebody who went to a two day match a few years ago, shot Classic Cowboy with a 32.20 and nobody said boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appalachian Alan Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 We have always stated.... "T-Rex is Voluntary, Do not enter is you do not want to meet the requirements." note t-rex is the "T-Rex Fahert Society"... for kok, sos, chn So, it is self regulated. Not worth my reputation to cheat. Others in the catagory will know if something doesnt seem right . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Up to the match director If a cowboy's rounds are suspect, you should bring it up to him/her --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cemetery - 250gr conical's will put a big dent in your powder charge. And if you are dead serious shooting 250's in your C&B's - Welcome to the World of Casting Your Own for the right bullet!

Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 the recoil for palerider with full case and a 200 gr boolit is , at least to me, comparable to the champeen load with a 250 gr boolit with the decreased powder charge..
