I did some testing with factory .38 HSM and Winchester cowboy action loads. (158 gr. bullet)

I did the test with the rifle flat and tipping it up to about 170 degrees between shots.

Rifle used was a Uberti 357 with a 20-inch barrel.

Testing was done in an indoor range use a Lab Radar chrono. Temp was about 65.

We are about 400 ft. above sea level.

HSM flat gave a power factor of 157.1 Tipping up gave a power factor of 158.8.

Winchester flat gave a power factor of 167.6. Tipping up gave a power factor of 169.8.

So, as you can see 150 PF is easily attainable. Just need the minimum bullet weight for

38/357 to be 158.

WB ROC and TG's need to consider this.

Just look at the score sheet at the end. It shows the shooter numbers.

The score sheet will show the total number of people who shot the match.

Not the number of shooters who dropped out or were added in as a result of the new "action plan".

They aren't even rules yet.

Marshal Stone

Bet we never see the actual numbers.

Stone

Be interesting to see the numbers of shooters that cancelled their entry

and those who signed up because of the new rules.

mine doesn't. The Queen's doesn't and it's a mernickle rig.

Lots of them don't.

 

I've got 3 different Mernickle 1911 holsters that were bought for WB, all three cover the trigger guard.

4 if you count my everyday carry holster.

Marshal Stone

I’ve had good luck with the KimPro Tac 8 round Mags.

Easy to take apart and clean if you are so inclined.

Marshal Stone

WB specific Buckles.

Marshal Stone

Already sent mine in.

Marshal Stone

Congrats to Sunrise Bill and Pinto Annie on the overall wins.

Great 6 stage match. 

Word is that next year will be 10 stages.

Looking forward to it.

Marshal Stone

Get in touch with Boggus Deal. 

He ain't that far from you.

Be nice if the ambassadors were involved in the process. 

Being able to provide input and opinion not just after the fact enforcing the 

dictates of the committee. Are we ever going to get a Traditional shooter on the committee?

Marshal Stone

Haven't heard of any. Nothing sent to ambassadors for input.

Sounds good. My SASS rig is from them.

Next question: I know 1911 smiths are a dime a dozen.  Any recommendations for a Traditional class 1911?

I just bought a Colt Govt. model, and it will be headed to Boggus Deal next week.

< next question. Is there a source for leather bump pads?

.

Mernickle Custom Holsters is the place to go.

Marshal Stone

I use and really like the Kimber KimPro Tac-Mag 8 rounders.

Marshal Stone

Does anyone have the stages for this year's match?

I've asked a couple of other times in other places, but no one has responded.

Marshal Stone

The Alaska State Wild Bunch Championship was held May 14th and 15th 2022

with the following results.

Chilkoot Nellie, Ladies Modern and Ladies State Champion.

Taino, Men's Modern

Alaskan, Men's Traditional and Overall State Champion.

Congrats to the winners.

Marshal Stone

Great match as always. Challenging, thought provocting, but everything very hittable.

That is if you do your part. LOL

Marshal Stone

Looks kind of light on pistol rounds to me.

Should be 50-100 more in MNSHO.

Marshal Stone

Congrats to both. Wish I could have been there.

Marshal Stone

Sounds like it was an awesome match. Wish I could have been there.

Like others the Covid restrictions, flying from Alaska kind of put a damper on things.

Just too many unknowns.

Looks like a lot of the restrictions are easing so hopefully we'll have a grand time

in Phoenix this winter. Looking forward to seeing and shooting with everyone and

especially getting caught up on all the hugs from the ladies.

Marshal Stone

I like the wedge.

Pushes my hand up to better defeat the grip safety with thumb on the slide safety.

Also use thin grips and short trigger.

Marshal Stone

Tully;

Any way to get a copy of your stages emailed to me.

Sounds like an interesting match.

Marshal Stone

If you have been loading Clays in other things stay with it for your 45ACP

Been loading 3.6 grs Clays 230 gr  bullets for a long time.

Others have won Championships  with this load.

I won a World Championship shooting Senior Traditional with it a few years ago.

Marshal Stone

Got mine from D Bar J love it.
