  1. For my loads, i use 4.5 gr of 231 with 230 gr LRN bullets. These work well in my SR1911, and I've had no problems with this load so far.
  2. I fully agree that the website could use a bit of an overhaul, as it really has not changed since it was first introduced. And J. Frank Norfleet, your comments are spot on, our sport is fine just the way it is, and it keeps getting better every year.
  3. Today's class was excellent, and J Frank Norfleet, Boggus Deal and Lil Italy deserve kudos for putting it on. Now, with all these new RO's attending the match, some of us veteran RO's can get a break from TO duties every now and again. It was also nice to receive clarification on a few of the new rulings from Happy Jack as well.
  4. I'll be attending the class. Never hurts to have a refresher, especially with all the new rule changes. See you and Boggus Deal next Sunday!
  5. Coon Creek Old West is a good source for clothing, also, What Price Glory has a large selection. For the hat, like has been said, look on eBay, as they do make new ones in your size.
  6. So, from what you're saying Dusty, would I be able to use my 1895 Winchester Saddle Ring Carbine, 30-40, firing against other lever action rifles, in a BAMM Match...firing in a LAM category?
  7. The Swedish Mauser is an excellent choice in a rifle. I've been using the 6.5 x 55 round for some time for deer hunting, and it's one of my favorite calibers to shoot. Unfortunately, my Swede has been completely reworked (barrel turned to remove steps and given a sporter contour, action completely gone over, bolt handle bent and recontoured for scope, low scope safety, custom Black Walnut stock), so it definitely cannot be used for BAMM matches.
  8. I just picked up (stole) a nice Model 1916 Spanish Mauser today. It's a Fabrica de Armas Oviedo Model 1916, in 7x57mm Mauser. Overall it's in pretty good shape, bore and rifling are good, crown is good, checks out fine for chamber/bolt head space using a "Field" gauge. All the parts are there, but the top handguard needs a little work, as it appears to be a reworked one from a Model 1893 Spanish Mauser Rifle (needs reprofiled for the short rifle rear sight...sight groove needs to be cut/deepened, as the rear sights use a taller rear blade style on the standard rifles). The BAMM rules state no exterior modifications on the rifle. My question is, on the rear sight blade, am I allowed to open the "V" notch up slightly, as it is extremely small and hard to pick up when sighting? (stole - the guy only wanted $50.00 for it) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y36/cmr314/P1010002_zpsf1iwfn2x.jpg
  9. I stopped by Barnes & Noble and picked up a copy of the magazine today. The feature was well written, and did an excellent job at letting people know more about our sport.
  10. I agree completely on this, it's a safety check... nothing more. We do the same checks to the shooter's other firearms are not cocked when they come to the line, and this is the procedure for verifying the Model 12 shotgun is not cocked... plain and simple.
  11. Base pads are not allowed on any magazines used in Wild Bunch Action Shooting matches. As far as checking for power factor, that is normally done at State Level and above (Regional/Divisional/National/World) matches...but is optional at club level matches. That being said, I would not try to game the system by loading ammunition that does not meet the minimum power factors called for (150 power factor minimum).
  12. Last time I watched the movie "The Wild Bunch", on which our sport is based, I don't seem to recall seeing any Winchester 87 shotguns being used, just Model 97's and Model 12's. You can shoot a Model 97, you can shoot an IAC 97/93, you can shoot a Model 12, or you can shoot trench gun variations of all these...we don't need any more shotgun choices.
  13. Happy New Year everyone....and tonight let's party like it's 1916 (hey, this is Wild Bunch Action Shooting after all)!!
