Crunchy Frog is having trouble getting in here using his new email address, so he asked me to post this link for all the SC Cowboy matches: https://www.carolinacowboys.us/vb/forum/match-results/150814-south-carolina-cowboy-clubs#post150814

I believe failure to conceal may still apply where open carry is not permitted. I see this as a hollow victory for those actually interested in open carry, because they still have to dress and holster to conceal if encountering one of the signs that prohibits public open carry. I even saw such a...

Despite flaws in the bill the big payoff and progress in our ability to exercise our rights is not being liable for failure to conceal in situations allowing concealed carry (and open carry).

There, fixed it for you.

The two gun clubs I go to for cowboy action matches have reopened, but if that is justified, how have conditions changed to suddenly be fine letting everyone shoot again, although under strict distancing conditions and limited group size? South Carolina is still under an official State of...

Another hot one. Be safe. Stay hydrated. Will watch for the results posting.

Uberti Lightning Short Rifle .357 Magnum, 20" 10 round, prepared by Longhunter in Amarillo. Usually runs perfectly when clean and lubed. I run 357 brass. I know this usually brings forth all the usual dings about Lightnings and Uberti vs. Pedersoli, but I owned the gun already when I started and...

I try not to think about it. I am not a State championship candidate but wanted to experience a State level match and all the additional activities, vendor presence, etc. My rifle locked up and the action would not close with 6 rounds still loaded on the last stage. At home I tried a squirt of...

Participated in my first State match. Someone said it best that "there were many challenges", especially with temps more like mid summer than the first of autumn. Wouldn't trade it for rain though. The awards banquet was really interesting.

Awesome, but I won't be spending $2749+ on another loader anytime soon. Those shooting 500 and up rounds a month might be more interested.

Did well with the case feeder loading 150 rounds of cowboy 38 Special and would urge anyone to consider it standard equipment, so the right hand stays on the handle and one is focused on priming and bullet placement on the other side. Still working on adjustments and my technique with the new...

The case feeder assy arrives today or tomorrow, so I will report after trying the full rig the way I had intended to run it for volume. I did have to rig a way to catch ejected rounds. I have corresponded with Inline Fabrications about a raised mount, to include a provision for hanging a catch...

I believe you mean calibers. I initially have gotten the .357 shellplate (#1), intending to load my 38 Special for SASS. If I do other cartridges, I will need to purchase a shell plate and breech lock adapters for the dies. Note that this press and its shell plate selection only supports...

I have one of the new presses and am compiling evaluations to share. I would characterize the press as a 4 station version of the Pro1000 without the primer jam issues. It incorporates lessons learned from the other models. What seems essential to me is addition of Lee's case feeder with...

Abe E. S. Corpus, my friend. That pump rifle is my Uberti Lightning 357 that Longhunter fixed up for me. I run 357 brass in it. I already owned it before joining SASS, so I would go in more conventional directions if starting from nothing. I am also not fast enough to outrun a stock gun, so it...
