John Z Sr

Thank you for replies so far, now all I have to do is trim up a bunch more and start my load developement. As I get data, I will post in case others might want to try this out

Had an idea to try out something new and was looking for some feedback. I have a 6" S&W 57 that has been milled for moonclips and love the gun. Thought I would try and trim down some .41 Mag brass to "special" lenght, like .357/ .38 and .44mag/.44 spec. so they would load into the cylinder a little faster. Figure I'll call them ".41 SS" for short special. Has anyone tried this before? I plan to only load for ICORE or USPSA minor, 125 ish power factor and thought Trail Boss might be a good safe powder to start using 195 gr. cast lead bullets,, any feedback would be welcomed

For those of you that missed ICORE today, you missed a good one, double Texas stars shot alternating !!

Just for fun, try a cylinder full of 110 or 125 gr JHP's with a full dose of Win 296 of H-110, no need for flashlights and the WOW factor is great in a dark stage. Also is a good way to convince other shooters that some of the "low flash" loads that are out there today, are a good choice for your home defense loads, most people never get a chance to see how some ammo can blind your night vision in the dark, have fun

Craig is right, as is the case with most top shooters in our game,. Why be unsure, if you don't yet reload, good time to start, and if you don't own a chrono, ask around at your local club who does. I'm sure someone will bring it out and everyone at the club can verify their loads, we do that about every other month.

Hey Dean, everything looking good for tomorrow? If you neeed a hand setting up, let me know and I'll try to come up a little early , maybe set up an extra quick classifier stage? Might go retro with the 6" 57 tomorrow

Always welcome more friends we have yet to meet. The BIG match is in Oct 2010, try to plan to attend if at all possible

Hey Craig, Spoke with Cliff recently, and it appears that "The Cup" is his this year,,,, just a friendly heads up !!!! While you 2 battle it out, my plan is to sneak in on it,, real smooth and quiet like

Hope to shoot with you again, totally understand the travel and budget, we have NO work, that's why we are so lucky to have alot of different matches around here. Stay well and shoot straight my friend

Good deal, with Blueridge, we just doubled our commitment!!! Now lets double that and get up to 4 shooters before the night is over

Great idea,,, if you do it on the east coast ,,, count me in for the revolver team

Seems like revo, ssr/esr is being talked about more and more lately,,, an invite to come over and try some ICORE,,, very much like IDPA in that accuracy is key and the scoring is raw time plus points down added. Check it out in the match announcements

... that sounded like a request... Forget about it Craig, I'll get to Frank at the "Cup" before you do !!! You normally go SSR anyway, leave us ESR guys alone please

Hey Robert, The date is 22 May 2010 ,,,,,0830 shooters meeting. 12 stages with a minimum round count of 225. The fee is only $75.00 before 22 Apr 2010. Hope you can make it, John

Thought I would try something new, USPSA has a great self-squadding system in place for major matches. This gives shooters a chance to see who all is shooting and what division and class they are competing in. I don't think that ICORE has such a setup, so lets do it ourselves. If we go ahead and start a running list of who will be shooting in May 2010 at the match, it might encourage some more shooters to come out and join us. As people see some of the big names in revolver (like our current USPSA revo champ Mr. Walsh) will be shooting , hopefully they will want to come out for a chance to shoot with the best, (can't back out now Cliff). Hope this works out and I might as well start as shooter #1 ICORE limited- C class Retro- U Open- U USPSA revo- B class IDPA SSR- SS/ ESR- Ex

Will do Bubber, hope to see a nice crowd from your neck of the woods next OCT for the big match in NC

Who are you kidding; You have a girlfriend???? Believe it or not , yes, she is going to shoot her first ICORE match this Sunday!

Trying to get a good turnout for ICORE match at Caswell Ranch on Sunday, if you have a revo come on out!!!! If not, come on anyway and someone will let you borrow one for the match, at least I know I will have one extra with me

Het Will, try to bring one more shooter with you if you can, someday we'll have 2 squads !!!! John

Sounds good, looks like Mr. Buckland is checking us out

Hey Dean, are you working on some "Amphibious " stages for the match on Sunday?

Very impressive indeed !!!!

Hey Greg, What are you looking to get rid of? I have a new girlfriend that is looking for a good revolver.

Was that a new birthday present? The 7 shot?

Yes Greg, You will shoot that in limited division. Open has optics and the new "Retro" division is 6 shot only fed with speedloaders. Come on up this Sunday to Caswell Ranch and shoot with us. Drag Greg Q. along with you and we'll have a great time
