    Note to self.....

    .....always bring an extra powder measure (preferably a fixed flask spout) to the range, in case the only adjustable measure you brought with you, breaks... lol

    Had to cut the day a little short while taking an 1861 Springfield to the range today.
    My old favorite adjustable brass measurer broke on me 40 Minie's in. I was just getting in to the groove of things punching some awesome groups at 100 yards and ringing gongs at 300-400 yards with some new 510grn Lyman casts. All in all a fun day... But I still had that feeling of being incomplete during the drive home having to cut it short because I couldn't weigh my powder out. I was looking around for any spent .45LC or the eqivelent cases on the ground to use as a supplement powder measure but all there were, were .22LR cases around me. lol

      Piru



      I was using an N-SSA skirmisher favorite of 40-45grs of GOEX 3F with 510 NS and 460 OS minie's which both mic to .575 lubed with SPG and a little bit of Crisco™.
      The 460's at 100 yds and the 510's performed well at 300-400 yd steel. I was going to try for 600 yds and that's when my measurer failed me.

        Nice looking place but to far for me to drive.
        I do keep a assortment empty cases that I've measured and marked how many grains of BP they hold.

            Humm, I'm kind of attached to it, but it doesn't fit me in anymore with the rest of the collection. I was thinking about refinishing it but I just don't have the time. So.....perhaps I could let it go.
            It was made in 1963, so you're in luck...just "under the wire" there!

            I'll need a singed copy (in pink ink please) of your 36C FFL (Full Figure License) and a COU (Certificate of Underwear) for the transfer.

            I'd prefer shipping because FTF might be a little awkward if my Wife is home as I never told her about this particular starry acquisition. It's been a safe queen for many years.
            But I can let it go for $563.52. Shipping incl. in a "flat" rate box and $19.00 of that goes to the GOJ (Garments of Justice) for the stitching reg.

            I know that price might seem a little inflated and round along the edges, but rest assured, the piece is very nice and has no import tags.
            Albeit used, but not abused the shoulder things that go up on it are also 100% matching!

            If you want it, I'd advise you hurry, as Senator Feinstein I know has her eye on it and it might be your last chance to ever get one!

            Snap me a PM!

                  Too bad. Piru is a cool range. You can also shoot out to 1000 yards.
                  But they're only open Wed, Sat and Sunday.

                  The range has also been used in a few TV shows, notably (off the top of my head) Some episodes of "Lock n' Loaded" with R. Lee Ermey, "Triggers: Weapons That Changed the World" and I believe some older episodes of "Tales of the Gun".

                  There are also a few membership ranges in the same canyon which are used for SASS shooters, IPDA matches and Appleseed events. The Burbank Muzzle loaders club also shoots there.

                    Doh! lol, that bites. I've done similar too, but forgetting to bring mags with me.
                    Single shot FTW!

                        2nd on the cool starry bra. I don't have a Certificate Of Underware yet, and still waiting for the Full Figure License will you consider shipping if I provide proof that its legal for me to own such a device?

                          Sorry for the late reply!

                          Yes I will ship, I'll need you to fill out a NPPOCSG (Non Prohibited Person Of Concealable Starry Garments) statement, stating that there are no State or Federal laws prohibiting you from the purchase or possession defined under Title 36B. section C. (Sub Paragraph DD) of the United States garment code.

                          Also to add butter to the puddin', I just checked, the rear "sling" has a period correct QD (Quick Detach) swivel lock!
                          Which is VERY rare to encounter these days.


                          In other news, I can fix my powder measure.

                              That's good that is repairable. Hopefully it's a quick fix and not one where you'll be waiting six weeks for a part to be shipped to you.
