April 2016 whatcha bringin to Hicksville

[Rebel]

Ben, would you mind bringing one or two of the rifle-caliber pistols? I missed the opportunity to shoot then last Spring and I regretted it.

I leave the choice of items up to you. I would be happy to pay for or bring any ammo.

I'm bringing my Benelli 12ga Nova
45 Long Colt Revolver
9mm Beretta
9mm M&P Shield

So I just counted and I've got 23 golf balls suitable for the launcher. If allowed, I have another 13 we can shoot (and clean up) that are not suitable for the launcher. If anyone has extra golf balls, feel free to bring them; I have plenty of blanks.

DArmi, I would like to shoot that pepper box. Did you not also say it would also take 2.5" .410 shells?

I have lots of golf balls.

It takes 2.5 and 3"

Cool. If I bring some factory .410 birdshot, can I shoot it? I'll even share the box

Also, anyone bringing a BP rifle that uses musket caps? I have plenty of powder and musket caps.

And I'm adding my converted 1858 to my Take pile.

I thought maybe that was slang for BP.

I was dry-firing the .35 Remington a few minutes ago. I'll bring it. Like I said in another context, if I can get my 9" .30-30 working in time, I'll bring it, too. The biggest problem with the .30-30 is that it kicks like a mule. I really hate shooting it with full power loads. It's definitely worse than a short .500 S&W. (That's my way of saying I'm not going to work very hard to get it running. )

If anyone has extra golf balls, feel free to bring them; I have plenty of blanks.

I think I have a few gross hiding in the garage. If I can find them, they'll come along.

I can supply 30-30 rounds. I've got a USPS box full of factory loads - maybe I won't get hit in the face like Eddie. Where the hell is that guy?

...maybe I won't get hit in the face...

There's no danger of hitting yourself in the face with the .30-30. It's so unpleasant to shoot because the design funnels all the recoil into the web of the shooting hand.

Musket caps? Did somebody say musket caps?

 

[Wyldman]

What size musket caps? I have a bunch of No. 11 and 209 shotgun primers.

The No. 11's are for my Traditions KY Long Rifle kit that I'm building (.50 cal), & the 209's are for my TC in- line .50. I can bring either or both.

What I really need is a source of real black powder in or near Spring.

I don't recall you ever mentioning long arms in your collection.

They are musket size.

As to black powder, just get a group buy together and order a case. It will be the cheapest route, by far. I would be in for 5 pounds, maybe 10.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
