El Muerto Negro Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hello, New to the wild bunch part of SASS. What is the reason for the weight restrictions on the pistol and magazines for? Is the restrictions for all classes? Thanks EMN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Yes, the weight restrictions are for all categories. As to the reasons, extra weight equals less recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Bodie Tom Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 So should I use 300 grain bullets?????????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 230 grain are less recoil than 200............ I have shot some 300 grain in 45 acp but in a revolver. Not sure I can get them to feed in a bottom feeding, brass chunker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hi, I knew that the idea was more recoil with a lighter gun. However, I do not understand why we would want more recoil if the gun chronos according to the rules. Can someone enlighten me?

Happy Jack Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Allie, there is more to it than just recoil reduction. There are many ways to internally "adjust" a 1911 to change how it operates and feels. We are doing everything we can to keep WBAS from becoming an "equipment race" and the weight restrictions on the pistol and magazines are just part of it. Holding the line on external modifications is another part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 And we appreciate that, HJ! With very straightforward rules about modifications, it's also very easy to enforce them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Miss Allie, what do you mean more recoil? By us talking about a heavier bullet? WBT and I got off track talking about my hunting handguns but for Wild Bunch, I use a 230 grain bullet as I can push it slower and still easily make power factor. What that does, for me, and proven to me by J. Frank Norfleet, is that the gun doesn't jump as much as it does with a 200 or A 185 grain bullet. Less muzzle rise, faster next shot.
