The minimum power factor for rifles in SASS Wild Bunch is 60. The minimum power factor for .45 acp is 150.

For the Illinois State Wild Bunch Match this last July, we gave Buckles to the Overall State Champions (Male and Lady) and a Buckle for each Category State Champion. The Category State winners also received Conchos. There were three Plaques for top three in each category. The Buckles seemed to be well received.

I have had this happen as well. I thought that it might be that lighter load shells, including dummies were more problematic than say 1-1 1/8 loads. Perhaps used shells were worse too. I'll have to experiment. Might have to get new carrier-flag springs though

Thanks for the information. Seems like too complex a problem for casual shooting.

FREE ICE CREAM? WHO could pass that up? This is going to be a Great Match with NICE Awards.

Are many of these used for the side matches? Where do you get ammo or components, namely brass, bullets, dies, should you reload them? One see some .30 Remington's on GB, but don't know about finding ammo or brass.

Get your applications in!

Get your applications in for the Big Illinois Event in July. Plans are shaping up well and the Match should be fun!

I "lost" a lot of recent posts on this forum. Odd.

Just checking to see if this is functioning.

We are making plans to have a FINE match, indeed. Several side matches, including Doughboy and Teddy Roosevelt stages on Friday will start the festivities. Ten stages, five on Saturday and five on Sunday will highlight Wild Bunch Action Shooting. More information is outlined on the website. Yes, Sandoval will be the SPOT for Wild Bunch Action Shooting that weekend.

This will be an exciting Wild Bunch Match. Side matches, Teddy Roosevelt and Doughboy side matches,and a 10 stage Main Match. More info is on the web site.

Thanks for the info.

What are typical target distances and scenarios for Teddy Roosevelt and Dough Boy side matches?

Looking forward to hearing more about it!

I have never seen a Chrono at a Cowboy action Match either. The Chrono has been used at most State and Above Wild Bunch Action Shooting Matches that I have attended. Procedures are outlined in the handbook. Pays to have a Chronograph to check your loads before attending a Big Match!

This will be an informative Class.

Winter Range?

I will contact them. Thanks

I am looking for a vendor to make 1911 shaped name badges. There have been some nice ones used in some of the Wild Bunch matches in the past. Any suggestions?

Should be informative and entertaining. Planning on attending to get some schooling.

Thanks for the information. I may have to look into the various components, front sight, etc.

How do you think the Colt Competition 1911, in .45acp would be for Modern? The front sight would have to be changed from the fiber optic that it comes with, but the Colt looks like a possibility . Already has nice grips, with the thumb recess, no palm swell, etc. It is supposed to have a "match " barrel.

I tried two powders with 300 gr coated bullets, Federal large rifle primers, and new Starline brass. Trailboss 14 gr gave a velocity of 1190 fps. 2400 19 gr. gave 1170 fps. The latter seemed to have a more abrupt "impulse." What sights are preferred for TR? I was using a tang mounted sight and an aperture front sight. I wonder if it would be more difficult to acquire a target with this set up. I could always put the factory sights back on.

Thanks for the info. I'll give the 2400 and 300 gr. bullet a try.
