Krazy Kajun Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 7 hours ago, Widder, SASS #59054 said: I was fishing on Norris Lake with Blackwater just a couple weeks back when our boat capsized. I had most of my pistols in the boat and now they are on the bottom of Norris Lake. Blackwater can testify. I think his boots are still wet. Blackwater lost a few of his pistols also. Kur-Plunk, right to the bottom of the lake. Insurance covered the boat loss but not the pistols. To bad..... So sad! Oh yea, the S&W 627 that I had borrowed from TN Williams was also with me and went to its watery grave with all the others. Luckily, Blackwater is family to TN and was able to testify to the event. Glad I had a reliable, honest and trustworthy witness. Without the witness of Blackwater, I'm afraid that TN would have never believed me..... ..........Widder At least you were kind enough to let ole TN know what lake his valuable pistol is located in. I heard he had the best nanner split huntin' hound in TN, you just know that pistol is loaded with nanner split juice.....maybe even some peanut butter lube too. Surely that hound can dive down and locate ole TN's pistol. Kajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron "Ironhead" Smith Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I laugh in minor warlord. I've shot maybe 700 of the 3950 .45 Colt I loaded last winter. I have several .30 and .50 caliber cans full of loose .45acp suitable for Wild Bunch. somewhere between 450 and 500 each .38-55 and .45-70. 500 reloaded 12ga and a case and half of Win AA LNLR 12ga. That's the SASS appropriate ammo. As for the rest......see minor warlord comment above. .22lr probably close to 30K, .223 15K+, not even going bother guesstimating .308, .30-06, 9mm, jacketed .45acp, etc. Except for the .22 and 9mm most of it handloads.

Three Foot Johnson Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I thought we were talking just CAS ammo, silly me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 i think any prudent shooter would keep all the brass he owns loaded as often as possible so he would always be ready to go to a shoot or more as often as possible , i also keep everything else i need or might want at hand as well - readily available and instantly usable - only prudent thing to do , all that said , anyone reading here recently knows i have a lot of 4570 to load and a lot of 38 to load when primers are available again , i do have enough to suffice till then i think tho , have got this years shooting to reload after the first of the year , i have what i need for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Well Bob you would ask that. I try to keep all our CAS brass loaded, but it's been pretty busy since about September, so I haven't been reloading. We're down to about 3,000 rounds of .32, give or take a couple of hundred rounds either way. It looks like we're down to maybe 6,500 rounds of .38, again give or take a few hundred either way. Meanwhile there is a lot of dirty brass out in the garage that I plan on cleaning and reloading right away, or at least by next year. Oh, and I think we have about 10 cases of 12 gauge, so maybe enough to get through the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint N. Steele Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I load in the winter. Right now I only have about 450, but it’ll be near 2000 by New Year’s Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowCatcher Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I've got around three thousand loaded .45 Colt rounds (every bit of brass I own), and a case and a half of 12 gauge. Alas - I'm just like the atheist's tombstone - "All dressed up and nowhere to go!". SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waimea Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I usually keep a hunerd or so loaded. Then a day or two before the match I whip myself into a frenzy and load a couple dozen more to make sure I have enough. Sometimes I forget and have to light a candle and load a few the night before. Don't worry, Kajun, I keep the candle far away from the powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
