Same here. I usually take 6-7 cans of FFg. I got plenty of everything else for a while.

I'll try and get up there on monday then, unless PR wants to deal with Graf.

I've been getting Schutezen from Jackie any objections?

Hey pards I don't know where you get them or what kind of percussion caps all of you use. Today I stopped at the extremely over priced gun store 6 miles West of me in Opal Va.. 100 pack of the Dynamite Nobel's RWS 1075's were $9.95 Yes 9.95. When I call Winchester I will check and see what he has available, if any of you are interested let me know. The last bunch of caps I bought were around 4 bucks a hundred from the same place. Their prices are just too damn high

You might want to try avoiding the I495 area

Should have taken your advice. Wasn't terrible but the construction made it a bit confusing. On the way back the traffic was better but had three back ups because of stuff off on the side of the road and everyone thought it was fun to look at.

Match wasn't quite the same this year. The scenarios were a bit confusing and there were some calls I'm not sure I agree with. As I understand it there has been a change in the leadership. Not sure if things will settle down next year. Must have to give going up next year some real thought. Maybe I'll stay back and run or help run the match at Waverly next time.

As for the powder order, Goosefoot says he is good with powder but can help to fill out a case. What is the plan; one or two cases?

Because Mason Dixon is only 10 not 12 stages I was able to use the 10g not the 12g all match. One of the stages had us standing by a concrete block wall to shoot the shotgun. When Big Bertha let loose with the first barrel, I could see the RO running away. Apparently the shockwave was significant coming off the wall.

The berm marshal was considering doing an inspection of wall to see if it was going to need repair.

Guess I had her loaded right.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

litl rooster · October 07, 2012, 06:48:12 AM

Unless PR speaks up or LIT I have enough to get a case ordered. I will call him in the morning. Theres a local guy I met thru Gunslingersgulch who is interested in some, so it fills out a case I think.

Sorry about the Match.

I don't travel the I495 I95 area on a regular basis's. I had too twice this past week. I would just as soon everyone here at Cascity pistol whip me than drive that mess. Gub'mint leaders should be proud of that mess.

It's good to know you have the proper load for the 10ga

Pony Racer · October 07, 2012, 02:23:53 PM

I could use 5-7 lbs!

Scheutzen or Diamondback are fine by me.

The guy in Winchester sells the RWS caps by the 1,000 pack - $60.00 for 1,000 ct - $6.00 per 100 cap container.

litl rooster · October 08, 2012, 07:19:15 AM

going to call him today. Might head in there after I go by the Mechanics place.

litl rooster · October 08, 2012, 12:16:00 PM

N-SSA fall meet was this past weekend. Many still leaving the Fort this morning. Caps were cheaper but not on hand. Had some CCI wasn't interested in them. I have a case of FFg Schutezen in the jeep. 14.00 per pound. Had a great drive thur the old haunts and into Apple country.

I will be available Sunday if there is a match at West Point I would go there. Saturday I could meet but have time restrictions because of work.
If not the weekend after will work also.

I'm right proud of ya, WW!

Wildcat Will · October 08, 2012, 04:29:34 PM

Why thank you SB. Sorry you couldn't make it. Had a pretty good time but could have used some more smoke on the posse. With you and PR not there it was left up to me and Potter to smoke up the place. We did what we could.

Pony Racer · October 08, 2012, 05:29:47 PM

It killed me to be so close in Culpeper Va - but I had horse show duties.

Eldest daughter did place 1 and 2nd in her divisions.

I have horse show duties saturday but sunday is open!

I won't be shooting sunday but could meet you near West Point LR to pick up some powder!

litl rooster · October 08, 2012, 06:48:37 PM

Your daughter has taken to the saddle pretty good. Congradulations to her.

Lucky Irish Tom · October 10, 2012, 03:35:05 AM

Congrats to the daughter on the win PR.

Wildcat Will · October 10, 2012, 04:43:03 AM

PR congrats to the daughter on the riding skills and successes. I don't know how much powder was set aside for me (I was going to take what was necessary to fill out a case), would you pick mine up when you get yours please. I can swing by next week and pick it up from you.

LIT, SB, and LR I still have your shirts waiting for you when we get together again. Are ya'll gonna be at Range Wars the weekend of the Oct 26? I'll have them with me if you are.

Pony Racer · October 10, 2012, 05:57:11 AM

I am going up to visit/hunt with friend in warrenton on friday.

I could pick up powder either thursday evening/night or on my way back to home mid friday afternoon

I am more than willing to split up powder left over just looking really for 3-5 cans. I think that will hold me over until I find out where I go next.

WW - I could deliver LR's shirt(s) if LR can meet me.

What say ya'll?

PR

goosefoot · October 11, 2012, 06:56:27 AM

pr if you got any extra powder, i could use up to 10 lbs of 2 f

goosefoot

Pony Racer · October 11, 2012, 09:37:44 AM

I only need 3 lbs. let me check with WW and we can split out rest.

I plan to pick up powder on friday but am not shooting at sussex saturday due to daddy duties at horse show in wakefield - I could make a run up to sussex sometime saturday to do delivery and then go back to horse show.

Pony Racer · October 11, 2012, 06:26:23 PM

Goosefoot does 5 lbs work for you?

That way WW gets 5 lbs and I get 3 (which is what I wanted).

PR

goosefoot · October 11, 2012, 09:08:30 PM

pr 5 lbs is fine, more if you need to get rid of it. i'll take what i can get

thanks

goosefoot

litl rooster · October 11, 2012, 10:12:02 PM
