Solution to a nonexistent problem that will come apart at the worst possible time. 
WBT will come back and haunt me if I ever put one in a 1911 🤠

I use Pliobond 25 with Mernickle leather base pads. I’ve probably done over 400 of them with great success. 

Shotgun Shannon and I will be there.

To me, field stripping and cleaning includes removing the firing pin and extractor. The extractor tunnel is always dirty. I do this once a month. About twice a year I do a total tear down and clean and inspect the parts. 

What ammo are you using?  What is the overall length of the shell?

I use Pliobond 25 contact cement

Held at Cowtown in north Phoenix.

I am sure Zona will have some interesting and challenging stages to shoot.

I always like shooting Zona's stages, but some have called him an "Evil Bastard"  ;D ;D ;D

Currently 40+ shooters signed up.

Still room for plenty more.

I know Zona and friends are working hard to make this not only a GREAT Arizona State Wild Bunch Match, but also to be a GREAT Winter Range Wild Bunch Warmup Match.

Get your entries in SOON.

KingSnake

Happy Jack,

Was it common knowledge that SASS headquarters was taking over WB? It's news to me.

Thanks,

Tully

Tully, not common knowledge as this is the first I've heard of this too.

Curious ???

KingSnake

Is 75 shotgun a typo?

 

Also, is 100 rifle a typo?  :P

 

Seems like a lot for 10 stages, but maybe that's part of the mystery  8)

 

See y'all then.

Last monthly match rifle was all 10 rounds except one stage was 9 rounds.

I'll make a WAG that there will be shotgun reloads.

Plus as Marshal Stone says, Zona likes to shoot a lot of ammo with few if any dumps.

The 2020 Arizona State Championship Match will be February 15 & 16 2020 at the Cowtown Shooting Range in North Phoenix.

I was at the loading table where I could see the shooter but not the firearm due to a stage front wall.

First round sounded pretty normal, second round sounded different but not the phfffft you hear from a Cowboy squib, third round KABOOM. Anyone who has shot Cowboy for any length of time is familiar with the phffft from a rifle/revolver squib. This shotgun sound was nothing like that. I've been shooting shotguns for 55 years and I have never heard or seen a shotgun burst like this.

Had I been the shooter yesterday, I probably would have shot the third round also as I didn't not recognize it as a squib.

The takeaway for me is, if my shotgun round doesn't sound normal, declare malfunction and move on.

KingSnake

This is NOT how you want your Model 12 barrel to look.

I believe it was the 3rd round. Suspected squib 2nd round.

A very experienced, fast shooter.

Afterwards said noticed 2nd round didn't seem right but didn't react quick enough to stop.

Nobody hurt. Shotgun was first and shooter finished stage.

I shoot my Model 12's pretty quick and I don't think I would've been able to react either.

This is simply to show what can happen.

We have a winner! I did not realize just how heavy these were until I found one in a gun...

Tungsten weighs about twice as much as same size in steel.

PITA to machine too.

To the OP,

I load 4.3 gr of Win 231 with a 230 gr LRN with hi-tek coating. OAL 1.225" with a tight crimp.

Gives me a PF of 160 here in Arizona in the 1911's Shotgun Shannon and I use.

KingSnake

I would load up 3.6 grains and go chrono and be happy with 161 pf.

I would never try to get close to 150 pf.

Kingsnake

Congratulations, JTS!  Sounds like you are hooked.  Wild Bunch and the 1911 are a hoot aren't they?  Compared to  Cowboy, both are good, WB offers more pistol shooting - Sliding instead of revolving.  Praise be to John Browning and pass the ammo!

We all really enjoyed you shooting with us. For your first WB match you did really well.

Once you get all the WB basics down you will be a contender.  ;)

Look forward to shooting WB again on the 22nd of this month.

Cowtown will hold a Wild Bunch match this Saturday 6/30/18 at 8am.
