MUSTER STAGES! I need a round count!

[Drydock]

Hows it coming folks.  Hey, and when you write these things, don't get too crazy with the round count.  You may think 40 rounds a stage sounds like fun, but if all 10 end up that way . . .  Don't be making the Cap-n-ball folks play Joesy Wales each stage either. 

I'd hope for a round count around 250 total rifle and pistol for all stages. 

[River City John]

For my four stages:

21+ Rifle(revised count 7/12)
16 Pistol
1 6lbr. shell w/fuse (I will supply these for all)


Let me mention that one of my stages calls for just six pistol rounds, plus the 6lbr. shell, so everyone will need a sidearm for that stage regardless of which category you're shooting in.
In addition, all rifle rounds are loaded one round at a time, so all will become, in effect, single shot rifles.

RCJ,

Will you be providing yodeling lessons prior to the stare of the shoot??

[River City John]

There will be no yodeling in the ranks!






Although the difference between yodeling and a decent Rebel yell wouldn't be worth noting.

St. Albans Raid: 

9 rounds rifle, 10 rounds pistol ...

... plus a vial of "Greek Fire"     (supplied)

[Dusty Tagalon]

20 rounds total rifle and or revolver, shooters choice per gun.

 250 is always a good number for an ammo count. Bring your shotguns and ammo, extra pistol ammo and rifle ammo for side matches.
Do you all want the boat again? If so let me know. For those of us watching from shore, it was really neat. Especially the blackpowder.
Plan on 10 stages.
What about long range? (side match)

OH MY GOD!! There's a boat that can be used? That we can shoot from?!?

Please say 'YES', give me all the particulars and I'll write up a fourth stage to contribute!

RCJ,

Leave out the yodeling!

Dr Bob who yodeled through 11 shots before missing!

[Drydock]

Yeppur, there's a boat.  Shot my Spencer off it last year.  Found out that Crisco/beeswax Lube on the base of a 56/50 bullet makes a dandy tracer at night.

[Kayleen]

RCJ,
Last year we used the houseboat and Steve had the trolling motor rigged and you ad to shoot from it as it moved west adn then east on the pond.
Everyone had a hoot even those of us watching from Widow Barlow's.
Write another stage RCJ.

Say ... how is the final round count coming along?

I need to know how many rifle rounds are required, especially if I go with the choice I'm leaning toward (.577 Snider-Enfield) because the number of "shell casings" I have for this "cannon" is somewhat limited.   

[River City John]

I wrote up a fourth stage utilizing the boat. Sent copies to Bristow Kid and Dusty Tagalong.

Upped my rifle round count by 8+(shooter may have to plan on loading more if targets missed.)

RCJ

(As an aside, I do not plan to write any more stages for this year's Muster. We have over 400 members, and even if you are not able to attend, please consider contributing your talent in the form of a stage scenario. And sooner rather than later. )

[RattlesnakeJack]

Any progress yet on the final round count?

As mentioned, the total number of rifle rounds may impact on my choice of rifle, and as a lazy sod, I'd prefer not to expend a bunch of time on "CAS-spec" load development for the wrong rifle!   

[Kayleen]

Thurday evening, July 19, Bristow Kid and I will be looking things over and shortly there after I will post an ammo count for everyone.

[Dusty Tagalon]

Kayleen;

How many stages?

Dusty

[River City John]

Howdy all,
Have we received a final round count yet?

RCJ

[Bristow Kid]

I will have and post a final round count by July 31st.  I have some tallying to do.

Bristow Kid

[Bristow Kid]

Alright Ladies and Gentlemen here is your round count for Muster 2007

You will need at a minimum 77 rounds for your rifle
You will need at a minimum 66 rounds for your revolvers

Bring plenty of extra ammo for side matchs and your scatter guns

Bristow Kid

[Bristow Kid]

For those that want and need to know.  There are 3 stages that have pistol reloads and 2 stages that the pistol must be loaded or capped at the line
