I got to thinking more about this, and the re-engaged knockdown-already-down from the OP needs to be called just like they would be called if you had a full stage worth of knockdowns. 

 

For example - a stage has seven knockdowns for pistol, shooter's choice of order.  Seven rounds to fire at them.  Shooter engages 1, 2, 2 again while down, 3, 4, 5, 6.  7 is still standing.  It would be called a miss at any match I've been to, whether the shooter hit or missed the #2 target's tipped over plate on the third shot.  We see this a lot at EOT when old KD targets that only fall over to a 45 degree angle are used, and shooter doesn't recognize that the target is down already after the first shot, and think (wrongly) they still need to shoot that target. 

 

Another example - 6 knockdowns for shotgun, in any order.  6 rounds to fire.  Shooter engages 1, 2, 2 again while down, 3.  4 is still standing.  This is also called "just a miss" for target 4 at any match that I have shot in. 

 

I think folks are trying to make this much more complicated than we want the rules to be!

Correct!  Good observation.

Thanks, Blackfoot :)

It is a good idea to gauge every round, mixed headstamps should not cause a problem.  Sounds like your load is adequate to operate the gun.

In addition to what G.J. stated the problem could be lack of lube on the slide rails or the operating spring (recoil spring) too strong.  Either of these problems will slow the slide and not let it move to the ejector with enough force.

Tell us about bullet weight, powder charge and velocity.

If you really want to do it ALL (including BAM and shotgun) with one powder, Red Dot will do it.  May not be the best in all of them but it will do it.

What stop? Plenty of original and new parts available. No need to make one.

Oops, maybe someone tried to fix the shell stop so that it would keep the shell completely in the magazine tube like a '97.  Wouldn't be the first time!

Blackfoot

Tell us where you are and give a little information about what it is actually doing.

I need to buy a GI Butt plate for an 03A3, straight stock if that matters.

Thanks, Blackfoot

We have started Doughboy Category at our monthly Wild Bunch matches at the Oakwood Outlaws. We have smaller targets scattered about at distances of about 40 to 75 yards,  bears, pigs, buzzards, turkeys and such.  It is a really FUN category.  We shoot on Monday after our regular week-end match.

Magazine pouches can hold either one or two magazines, one magazine per loop.

At least 2 inches of the magazine must be covered by the magazine pouch.

Hope this helps,

We don't have to do it a certain way or do a certain thing just because it is done that way in other pistol disciplines.  For those shooters who want to have practice drawing and firing from condition one, there are plenty of other shooting disciplines that offer that opportunity.  :)

Seems like you already knew the answer!

Blackfoot  :P

We southpaws live in a right handed world....and do quiet well in it!!

Doc,

In 45 Auto with 170 grain bullet, Accurate shows 5.3 as a starting weight. Be careful if you're using this in WB. It may get close to the 1000 fps maximum. 200 grain starting load is 4.8. With the 230 grain bullet, their starting load is 4.6 grains.

In 45 Colt, they don't list starting loads but their max load is 6.7 grains.

Is a 170gr bullet legal in? WB  I haven't read the 2018 book line for line.

Thanks,

Blackfoot

The usual is no Wild Bunch Warm-up.  Shooters meeting at 8:00am Monday, shooting starts at 8:30.

Stage points

Garrison Joe pretty well nailed it!

Blackfoot :)

Everywhere I have been and everywhere I have heard it discussed, 179.9 is not 180. Power factor is only one factor in the formula.  For that reason most shooters that I know shoot at least a 185gr bullet.  Same goes for min power factor, 149.9 is not 150.

Blackfoot

Sounds like you are good to go with necessary irons.  The "six round follower and spring" are just that, sounds like you already have a shotgun that will hold six in the magazine.  Keep in mind that most shooters bring 5 to 7 magazines for the 1911 to the line.  You may need more magazine pouches.  They may let you stage some magazines until you get fully fixed with leather.

Have Fun

Blackfoot

There are a lot of good 7 shot sequences that can be done on target sets that we now use for 5.

Ain't Wild Bunch a side match in itself? Maybe the side match needs a side match allowing revolvers like the 1917 previously mentioned? Old school double action revolvers, other interesting Firearms of the period just because it would be darn fun?

 

Just friendly postulation... :)

That is a misconception that a few non Wild Bunch shooters have.  Wild Bunch is a totally separate shooting discipline, it is not Cowboy Action Shooting with a 1911!

Blackfoot

I just don't think it is going to happen in a Wild Bunch main match.

The holster pictured looks to me like it meets the requirements for wild bunch competition.  Just keep in mind that you also need magazine pouches and reload ammo for shotgun and rifle. Welcome to the fun! 8)

Lone Dog, I also use Fire Fox for my regular browser and I never have a problem as you describe.  I may be just lucky but I don't think the browser is the problem.

I have pulled hundreds of "mistakes"over the years with an impact puller and I have always reused the primer if it was seated correctly without any problems.  Your experience my be different.

That works for me!  (I don't use punch-outs)
