We've done it for years at RUCAS in Renton, WA. Most people shoot Cowboy on Saturday and WB on Sunday. We load mags 7/3, 6/4, or 5/5 depending on the scenario. Great practice for tactical reloads. I've never after shooting 10 rounds at a cowboy match had trouble with 14 at a real WB match. I like to also shoot all rifle targets with the 1911 rather than the close up pistol targets. Also good practice. Some folks also shoot what we call Ranger. Two double action revolvers, semi auto pistol caliber carbine or Tommy gun, and a semi auto shotgun. The point is monthly matches are for fun and practice. Gives people a chance to shoot guns they normally don't get to shoot.

I wouldn't shoot a match that did the 5 round thing, I'd just shoot cowboy there instead.

No, No, No. Then those shooters will attend a real WB match, load mags with 7 shoot 5 and SDQ for moving with a round under the hammer. Best way to combine CAS and WB is separate posses. Use the CAS target placement but move the shooting positions back to WB distances and have WB scenarios. Use 7 round mags. Dusty Bunch, in Casa Grande, do this all the time. Works great.

Just tested some Bullseye loads under a 200 grain lead slug. 4.8 grains made a plenty strong load - about 170 PF out of my gun. Made accurate ammo, matched WST for tight groups. Just as dirty as it was in my pistol loads in the 1970s. Kind of a sharp recoil impulse compared to good ol WST. good luck, GJ

So a limit was there before and after that. A 170 grain bullet has never been legal in WBAS since I have been a SASS member.

Now guys, try to get over your egos and stick to the issues. I don't know you, EL Chapo, but I have known G Joe for at least 20 years. He speaks from many years of 1911 knowledge. I don't always agree with his approach to things, but he really knows his stuff. I know my way around a 1911 pretty well also. I was one of the big time dealers in 1911's from 1970 until 2014. I have "fixed' hundreds of them with small issues to big ones. I have probably handled/fixed more 1911s than most active shooters put together will ever see. It wasn't unusual for me to deal with well over a thousand a year in busy times. I always had 500+ in inventory. So just remember that different people may disagree about small issues but don't let this wire get like the SASS wire. We kept it civil for years and I for one would like it to remain so. I feel that the current most knowledgable person in SASS/Wild Bunch about current issues is Boggus Deal. He builds 1911's from a block of steel and knows how to fix anything. I don't blame him for not getting into discussions like this, he is too busy building/fixing guns to bother. Happy Shooting.
