Tom Mainus Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 If i can work it out: Can I sign up Saturday morning?If I fly; How could I get my ammo there by Thur or Fri. Is there a web site that I can get details about the match? This sounds like too much fun to pass up. If you fly, you are allowed 11 pounds per gun providing they are packaged correctly. Check the airlines web site, as each has somewhat different rules for ammo. The only other way is FedEx Ground or UPS Ground, not sure there is enough time to get it here by Fri. If you want to ship it, send me a PM and I'll get you my address and I'll bring it out to the match. Bill I am pretty sure it is 11Lbs per passenger not gun. 11 lbs is not enough to get all the 230grn ammo you will need for a major match.

Is there a web site that I can get details about the match? This sounds like too much fun to pass up. If you are shooting 45 with 230 grain bullets the 11 lb limit for airlines amounts to 200 rounds, Six inch and I should each have @ 100 rounds extra. Loads are 230 Berrys with 4.0 grains clays and fed primers for me and 230 Rainier with 4.1 grns clays, fed primers for six inch. Give me a call on my cell if you need some. Roger 801-550-8438. If I recall round count is @225 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 That's right--the third 100-round box of .45 230s always goes over the 11-pound per-person limit. Sam and I are going to try slipping in some extra ammo into another spot in our suitcases--this has always worked for me in the past. (It's not illegal on domestic flights, by the way--but merely an airline policy matter.) Anybody who's driving to the match, it would be really great if you could bring a little extra ammo along just in case any of us guys who are flying in get caught with too much ammo and show up short on rounds. We should be OK, but you just never know...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemepharmd Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'll have several hundred extra rounds available as well. 230-gr RN Montana Gold, Clays powder, sub-flush Federal primers, and they may even be on moonclips. If anyone needs more at the match, feel free to look me up. Gregg Wheat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Griffin Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 What Cliff said, if you're flying Southwest they don't seem to mind this bending of the rules. Just for fun, my primary revolver decided to break the hammer stud, so I get to shoot my wonderful trigger job instead of Carmoney's. Bleh. H.

hopalong Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Talk about hammer firing pins breaking...................................... I have my trusty 625 that I've been shooting for 5 years loaned to Production Guru GM Rodney May, and he calls me today. "I hope you have another firing pin, or another gun, I've broken yours" I told him, he was now using my Colt Single action army !!!! tomorrow I align the microwave dish we've been installing, then home to get the last little things for the match done.

Bwana Six-Gun Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 For all you Revo guys, be gentle with Nemo.He hasn't play with one of those for a long time and I'm affraid he might get hurt. Unfortunately, that won't be a problem. He sent me a PM this past week saying that once again work is getting in the way of the important stuff and he won't be able to make it. That squeals! I was looking forward to seeing him again. P.S. I too will bring some extra Federal primed ammo. 230 gr. cast over 3.8 of Clays. Let me know if anyone needs it.

raincitywheel Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hey Hop, I have a stage question. On several stages, under penalties: Extra Shot -10. Extra Hit -10. All the USPSA and IDPA matches I've shot so far have been scored best two hits on paper. You penalize yourself if you stand there all day poking multiple holes in a target (and using up time). Is the intent here to actually penalize extra shots/hits? --- Raincitywheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwana Six-Gun Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Holy Crap! 7 out of the 14 GM in USPSA are shooting this match. I feel a serious butt-whipping coming on.

Blueridge Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I am only focused on those shooting the special "speedloader" category and D class. Beyond that I am going to get as much enjoyment out of shooting the match as I can. I will have some "extra" .45 Colt ammunition with me, but I doubt that anyone (aside from me) will be using that caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid that Mike has uncovered a part of Rodney and Sam's new high tech "bore cleaner" still. Everyone be very very careful of any free drinks from those guys Friday.
