Blackface Charlie Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Have been accumulating everything I need for both Wild Bunch and CAS shooting over the past two months. Ready to shoot my first Wild Bunch match next week. Going through California purgatory right now on a pair of revolvers for CAS. I wanted to post over on Wild Bunch site obviously because I have Wild Bunch topics. Problem is they have a series of questions you have to answer before you can post. I tried to Google the questions so I could post but I couldn't find the answers. Kind of a pain in the butt. Suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Bob Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 BC - you will get more and faster answers if you post this on the SASS Wire rather than here on the Classifieds. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Frank Norfleet Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Blackface Charlie, Get on the Wild Bunch Wire. A few Cowboy shooters have a lot of animosity towards Wild Bunch, you will get better answers over there. PM me an email or phone # and if I can't help you get into the forum I'll put you in contact with someone who can. JFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Old cowboys sometimes forget that new people to the game don't know that sass number 4 is Tex, or that cas stands for cowboy action shooting, and that winter range is in Phoenix.

Blackface Charlie Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 I got on it a couple of months ago but forgot the answer about SASS No 4. I go over there to see recent activity but there is very little activity and hadn't posted since I joined. I just wanted to see if there was any interest in 45 ACP SPP brass. I'd go ask that question right now but I am signing off----time to go sling some led. All ya'll have a great day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostVaquero Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I use small primer 45 cap brass all the time for WB. A nice 225g fn poly bullet over trailboss. My poor old wrists go just about 5 stages before hurting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing messes up a good rhythm to your loading process than coming across a SPP when loading LPP's. If you're in need of some LPP's let me now. Otherwise just sell or donate all your SPP brass to the New Mexico clubs please Tully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly warrants a rope, but not a MDQ Tully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostVaquero Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Nothing better than small primer, you get a large one you know. Just run it around and save for them that have not had the joy of not changing primers. The 38s and 32s for cowboy one less thing to hassle with.

I've found that my 45 ACP loads with SP are much more consistent velocity and load much easier on my 650. When I had a 45 ACP rifle the SP had fewer problems than the LP.

Despite what I've said here about SPP brass, it's really just been in fun. Come out and shoot Wild Bunch with what you have, that's the important thing. LostVaquero, I can clearly see your reasoning. JFN, I'll bring my SPP brass with me to WR and give it to you there. Tully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Frank Norfleet Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Even though SP brass is my favorite, I do know that it causes many shooters to gnash their teeth because of the dreaded primer tube explosion on the 650. In attempting to seat a LP in a SP brass the primer is set off which sets off all the primers in the tube. For that reason I almost never carry my SP rounds to a local match. I have a set of LP brass for that. That said I still sort through the monthly brass carefully since you always get a few pieces from other shooters. I don't think ammo manufacturers will ever go back to exclusively LP especially since the SP are used for non toxic loads. So we have to carefully sort our brass when we shoot with others.

Interesting comment on setting off the primers on a 650. I didn’t know that was an issue and but I have only been reloading for two years. Have the SPP issue reloading all the time. As a matter of fact I just loaded 2k rounds this past four days and didn’t realize there were about 250 pieces of SPP in that batch—guess the guy beside me at the range the other day was shooting SPP and I didn’t check them. Ran them through the 650 with no issue other than it’s annoying as hell!! I’m pretty easy on the seating process. Now I’ll be even more easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
