Short Stroked

Last weekend there were only 3 people on my posse that did not have on a straw or palm leaf hat! But a quality light colored felt hat can be comfortable, too.

Jeez, that's a smokin deal. Someone save me.

Hi Springfield, I have a rifle in .38 special that works best with a cartridge overall length (COL) of 1.550” Do you happen to know the COL for the Lee 125 and your 140 Slim design? Thank you! Ethan

Jack, What is the COL (cartridge overall length) using the new Lee bullet in a .38 Special case? Thanks! Ethan

Short stroked or slicked up? Excellent price.

To all the posters suggesting that new shooters "just go buy stuff" you are doing them a great injustice. That may be fine for someone with an unlimited budget that can afford to replace everything as soon as they start, but is not practical for most. I teach a monthly "new shooter" clinic at my home club and can let them try different grip frames, calibers, rifles and shotguns BEFORE they buy something they'll want to replace 2 months later. I can also save them money by turning them on to quality equipment that current shooters want to let go of. I can't tell you how often I've had people show up with jacketed hollow point ammo, holsters that are for the wrong size frames, illegal items, firearms that don't suit them or are not allowed, etc. PLEASE suggest potential new members go to any club and they'll probably get at least some basic advise and get to try a few things out before making some bad decisions.

Ruger New Vaquero Stainless 5 1/2 45 Colt. They are Short Stroked, half cock, and Bisley Hammers work done by Aint Dunit. No box or papers. Great condition shot very few times. Will make a great set of Classic Cowboy guns. $2000 shipped to your FFL.

I use titegroup for my .38's and sg. Works well.

Mostly true if one has been doing this a while. This coming weekend I will be shooting the 44 Special SAA that was my 1st cowboy gun 25 years ago. But it only comes out of the safe about once a year now.

What's the best powder to use for .45 colt in an 1872 open top?

Some places allow "summer rules" and you can wear straw hats for local shoots. Here in Texas, I think it's a necessity.

Just guessing, but if they allowed "straw" hats for CC Men, then you would start seeing modern stiff cattleman style "plastic coated" straw hats, or else, a "crushed and bent" modern country western type straw.

Taylor & Company 1873 20" Straight Stock 38 SPL. Conagher Short Stroke action job, lever wrap, stock wrap, and gold bead front sight. Great shooter but its a back up to a back up. Normal cart wear. $1100 plus shipping to your FFL.

Agree 100%! The main thing is to get out there and get started. I don't know anyone that is still using the equipment that they started with. It's a natural progression to need/want better equipment as skills evolve.

Well, it's likely a Canadian recipe. Our (mis)government was funding an edible insect project.

I've got 40M of wire as an EFHW, sloped. Feed point is ~10 feet off the ground sloping up to ~25 feet. I've made contacts within MS as well as to WI, AZ and one or two off the 13 Colony sites. I'm not playing as much as I'd like.

5744 is a wonderful powder for downloading in rifles. Shooter's World Buffalo Rifle is a clone of this, when 5744 was made overseas.

I have been shooting classic cowboy since they came up with the category and have brought the subject up several times over the years. They had and have traditional straw hats then and now and were worn in the south and southwest. I realize that sass is not a historical entity but see no problem with wearing them.

EH, it's only 4 boxes. Especially if you can sell it all in one fell swoop! I'd keep it a little under 70# each.

Gritz you could go in for a depot rebuild and come out looking like Lee Majors

Thx Doc!

Yeah, I prolly should have. Just didn't occur to me at the time. I'm not the brightest crayon in the tool shed sometimes....
