At the NY State WB last April my rifle load with 200 gr. bullet with Clays was effected by the cool weather we had. Since I never load at the minimum load I had no problem with the Clays meeting the PF. I will now be loading the 45 ACP with Claydot for now on.

Recently I was able to purchase a 8 lb container of Claydot. I normally use Clays but I was getting low on powder. Yesterday the temp was around 60 degs. overcast with occasional sprinkling of rain, an anomaly here in Western NY in Nov.
My Crony digital is 10 + years old so results may be different with a newer models. I used Remington primers and mixed brass.
I normally use 3.7 grains of Clay's and 230 gr. bullet which produces around an average of 751 FPS. This come out to 172 PF
The same load with Claydot produced an average of 737 FPS which is a 169 PF
The next load was 3.9 grs. CD which produced an average of 777 FPS. which is a 178 PF.
The last load was 4.0 grs . CD which produced an average of 780 FPS which is a 179 Pf
The interesting thing was the Claydot had a smaller spread of speed ( in fact all three loads had duplicate speeds) than Clay's
So ClayDoy can be use with Clay's data with a more consistent FPS

About three years ago we had a WB mini match at our cowboy annual .I was the T/O as the shooter was firing his pistol and it must have been the third round being fired that didn't sound right. Before I could say anything the shooter shot the next round and bang the pistol locked up. When he finally got the pistol apart ( which by the way it was being shot for the first time) the barrel had a horizontal crack about 1 1/2 in. long closer to the bushing end. There was nothing in the barrel. The question is it possible that a squib that stops at the end of the barrel allow the pistol to feed the next round and to fire? Is it also possible that the barrel could have had a defect? I would say it was less than 25 rounds that were shot before the stopage.

Congrats Lone Dog, it sure is a purdy pistol! LPL and I only have six 1911's. I sold some things I was not using anymore at a gun show last April. I was walking by a table and a 1967 Colt National Match in VG condition called out to me. So after a little discussion on a final price it came home with me and I still had money in my pocket that was used for other purchases. :)

LPL's 97 and the model 12 have been both slicked up and both run very good. My SASS category is Classic Cowboy so shooting them Thar pumpers is not natural to me. I have tendency to jack out a live round occasionally from either gun . The hard part is I have to try to remember when I do jack one out not to grab two rounds and try to cock the hammers. ::)

Thank you for the information. I am getting a better sense of the original intent and current status of these rules.
I will be passing this thread onto our local Match Director. We may need to change our current stage design ideas given the information you have provided.
Is there a "ROII" type class specifically for Wild Bunch?
Deputy Dan
Where are you located? The Ambassadors teach the WB RO class.

Howdy,
On pg. 5 of the WB Handbook it states
"Magazines must be standard length and cannot hold more than eight rounds.
No extended base pads on magazines. This means NO base pads of any kind".
I personally would just go out and purchase new magazines and not touch two good magazines that work good in your pistol.

Howdy NK, I don't know. Billy bob our club president might of done it . He is usually the photographer. I will ask him. Dusty
Howdy Dusty,
For us folks who can't come down to play in your playground a video/pictures would be a good way to explain the match. Also showing shooters having fun is also a good thing.

Ok GJ, here goes bammbalooza was billed as an event instead of a side match and it had had a story line but the meat of it was this---shooter begins at the north door of the mercantile.rifle with bolt open 5 in the mag. At the beep proceed to left window and from any position shoot the driver then El Jefe the passenger in the back seat then the three outriders (we had a model T cutout with steel targets for driver and passenger wearing sombreros) range 90-110 yards.proceed to right window and repeat with rifle.grounding rifle draw pistol shoot plate rack with cigarette and cola cans on end sized targets plate rack. Move to center door engage dueling tree then engage "devil man" for five shots( he was at 90 yards).proceed to left window engage second dueling tree with five and ground pistol.Then run to the right hand porch and engage 6 shotgun targets (these are all clay birds thrown from a commercial thrower with the button held down). That was Bammbalooza 14' . Any more woulda been to much! Dusty Boddams
Howdy Dusty
Are there any videos that were taken during the match?

The brass pickers work great on most surfaces except where there is small gravel and stones. They pick up the brass plus everything else that is small enough that can fit thru the basket wires.

Howdy,
Loco Poco Lobo and I would like to say that Circle K Regulators did a superb job on putting on their first state WB match!!! The stages were challenging and fun to shoot. And by the happy faces of shooters and them saying they will be back is complement to all who helped to make it happen. Also the food served was excellent.
Now Sgt. John I was standing next to your cart when the tire was deflated. I have never seen this happen before. I was getting a little splatter while running the timer. Then I handed off the timer to you and the next thing I know the splatter follows me and takes out your tire. The targets must have been getting even after what I was thinking while I was shooting at them. :) :)
Looking forward to have you on our posse again next year.

Howdy John boy,
When L.P.L. and I shot N-SSA regularly I spent many a winters night casting 58 cal, 50 cal and 69 cal (one at a time ) and 44-40 Henry bullets using sometimes a little over 200 lbs of lead a year. When we started shooting CAS and now WB I call the bullet company and have them shipped.
Sometimes instead of counting sheep at night I could count bullets dropping one at a time. :) :)

PS Years ago I purchased German musket caps for $17 a 1000. I been trading 1000 caps for 2000 LP primers because the musket caps sell for over $ 60 a thousand.

When I purchase my Springfield Mil-Spec I order the extra mags. A month later I called to see if I could order more. After talking to a fellow for a couple of mins asking some question and telling him how I liked the 1911, he told me he would give the discount again if I would tell anyone. So you did not here it from me that if you buy a new gun there is a chance you may be able to buy extra discounted mags ;D

I appreciate what this individual (yes I know who) did. To take the time and had the fortitude to do all that was needed to get Model 12 approved. The great result is that current and future WB shooters have a great shotgun to use!!!!
