I just have backups with me for everything. And if it's a match a ways away that I am camping at...I have a lot of parts for the wild bunch rifles and for cowboy guns
-
What is everyone using for a 225 grain coated truncated flat point using WW 231 ...WST...and Unique. I want to be at about 160 power factor. Thanks
-
Modern says dots are legal...not sure since the tritium sights are actually an insert. Definitely NOT legal for traditional
-
I couldn't tell if the finger was in the trigger guard at the start or along side the frame...as at the second position. I shoot traditional...and sometimes get yelled at for finger...but what I am doing is hitting the mag release

Small Primer vs Large Primer Comparison
Old Man Graybeard replied to J. Frank Norfleet's topic in Reloading for Wild Bunch
I have had more problems trying to seat primers in SP cases than LP cases by far. I loaded up a 30 cal ammo can full of SP cases and had more trouble seating SP...now when I come across a SP case...it goes in the junk brass bin. I came to the conclusion that if I did load more SP cases...I would run it all through a swager first -
Bring all rifle power factor back to 150
-
I have seen safety checks and ammo pulled and some tested. I don't have a problem with that being done...and it probably should be done...along with weighing pistols. I think that really at checkin...pistols should be weighed and the grip safety checked. During the match...random samples of ammo pulled and at least some of it checked.

Who's shooting EOT Wild Bunch -----------
Old Man Graybeard replied to CC Moonshine's topic in The Wild Bunch Wire
I don't know...I never did stop shooting "classic" -
I believe both pistols would be legal for modern...the shotgun with the adjustable choke I am not sure about...the shotgun with the orange front sight would need to be changed...at least as I read the rule book

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year and may this new year be a better year for everyone

A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone...and if you are another religion...a happy whatever you celebrate

I have been using 230 and 233 grain round nose coated bullets. Velocity by using an Athlon chronograph. I am going to try 225 grain bullets
-
I was trying to get my power factor down too...I called and talked to one of the reps from the powder company. He said I would basically have to go down to a 225 grain bullet to get where I wanted to be, I had dropped down to 5.2 grains of Unique and still about a 180 power factor. He said to not go below that point as it might cause an overpowder flash and excessive pressure spike.

I like having the separate forums. I wish people would use the Wild Bunch forum more. I think there are people willing to help out on both forums...but it is nice to have more specific places to go to for certain information

Large primer vs Small primer
Old Man Graybeard replied to Blackfoot's topic in Reloading for Wild Bunch
I have reloaded some small primer brass. To me...it's not worth the headache. I have found quite a bit that is either very hard to seat primers or totally inpossible. I don't know if some of them are crimped in like military brass or not...but they are all going to the junk brass bin from now on
