Bump to the top again...

@Dusty Morningwoodand @Texas Maverick, thank you for the idea. Fortunately I have my eye on another rifle. @El Catorce needs it for long range since he has a spare gall bladder. La Sombra

When is that?

The Holy Black is a term for Black Powder. O.O. is being sort of an elitist plenty of time for BP later (it's worth the wait). My suggestion: to start with, order loaded .38's from Bullets by Scarlet. You have to pay shipping, but the cost per round will likely be less because store ammo is expensive, plus it will be loaded for CAS. Save the brass. If you are using a side by side shotgun, in general avoid ribbed hulls and hulls with a base that is silver. Those tend to stick in the chambers and don't shuck well. If you can find the Winchester AA LNLR by all means get them. They say Low Recoil Low Noise on the box but also look for 980fps. If you can't find those, AA's that are 1 oz at 1180 fps are about the next lightest load. 1 1/8 oz at 1145fps kick harder. You can get those loads in the Winchester white box but those will have the silver base. If you are shooting a '97 then it will eject most anything. Regarding your dies question, almost any dies will make decent CAS .38's. I've used nothing but inexpensive Lee for years along with their Factory Crimp Die, and no complaints. Welcome aboard and have fun!

You might consider belling the case a little less, your cases will last longer. You only need enough flare, in the shortest case, so that you don't shave any lead off the bullet when it is seated. Congrats on finding the problem.

That wouldn't necessarily be a problem. Structure the door frame to carry the load. For a simple two car garage, 2X4s would probably do it. 2X6s at the most.

Man, there are a bunch of great folks from Tennessee. Hook up with some of them and if you can make the Tennessee State Championship you will be overwhelmed by that crew. Especially if you could make the Swap Meet there, you could definitely get to handle a bunch of guns of all flavors.

That's a pretty tight budget. Uberti Cattleman Hombre's can be had new in the mid-$400 range. I've seen them for as little as $430 on Gunbroker... plus $20 shipping... plus GB's 1% "compliance fee"... plus your dealer's transfer fee... so unless you find them locally, it's still likely to top $500 each. New Vaqueros will be 60% more than that even. Blackhawks will usually be less, and I've seen a few used ones in very good condition go for $415 - $450 lately, but that's the exception - plus shipping, compliance fee, and transfer fee.

It's happened again! Despite the Security Notice we posted, despite posting it here. Your e-mail addresses are hidden from the outside world by default. But, many have added their email addresses again under "contact methods". If you have done that, scammers can reach out, pretending to be the seller and an unwary buyer sends the money to the scammer by mistake. Deal through PMs or directly via phone, unless you are very sure of the seller's email address. Never pay for guns via Paypal Friends & Family, or any other venue that does not support firearm transactions!!

It's not too late to sign up, we still have some openings remaining.

Blame It On That Red Dress

This is what I heard from him…

Rugers have definitely shot up in price lately. Of course, so has everything else. I started with Pietta Frontier models in .357 and still shoot them occasionally. They're a solid 4-click pistol but will need a spring kit, forcing cones recut, and very likely will need the bolts fitted. Add a trigger job and they'll run well for a very long time. The advice to visit a match and try a variety of pistols is spot on. However, you're going to see a wide variety and will probably end up more confused than ever. I would suggest talking to the shooters that have a similar goal of competing as you do and ask them what revolvers they prefer. Just know that your bank account is going to feel pain if your overall goal is to achieve and maintain a spot in the top 10% of the leader board. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that but it'll take a lot of lead downrange and raced equipment to get there, generally speaking.

More than “just cutting”, is there a load? Need to carry the load.

The Colt clones are currently about half the price of Ruger Vaqueros.
