Ted88160 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I was reading the SASS CAS state match rules for the Match Event under bullet #3 it states: "Any side match that uses the "Wild Bunch" name MUST follow SASS Wild Bunch rules with the respect to firearms and ammunition." I am wondering if a 4 stage side match at a state shoot, may use 7 rounds in a magazine instead of 5 rounds. The Wild Bunch handbook says the firearms shall be .40 caliber or larger rifle, 1897 pump, and a 1911 of 45acp caliber. There is no mention in the side match portion of the WBHB that only 5 rounds must be used in a magazine. So is 7 round magazines ok for a side match at state shoots?

Garrison Joe Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 There are strict rules about only loading 5 in a magazine, however. All the side matches involving the 1911 I have shot have held to the 5 round max load out. Why tempt fate at a state level match and risk not getting to hold one again? Good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted88160 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 So GJ, maybe my next question has been answered before, but how or why was it determined and by whom to just load the magazine with 5 rounds instead of 7? Knowing that Wild Bunch is not cowboy action shooting with a 1911. I'm not trying to stir up any trouble here, just asking why 5 rounds instead of 7.

Two Dot Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 No offense but do a search for 7 round mags. It was discussed for several pages worth a while back. Good luck and enjoy your state match. Two Dot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
