April 8th Match Predictions

[Jackalope]

Some more predictions...

Bad Luck Bob will be in trouble on Stage 1.

Your secret stash of bullets will come in handy during Stage 2.

The family will offer a reward if you rescue the baby from kidnappers on Stage 3.

Although he's a pretty good guy, Pete will not be of much help during a holdup on Stage 4.

The gophers will come back, no matter what you do on Stage 5.

I can't help it.....In big boy pants, does tall mean big or does wide mean big?

Because of merciless harassment by people I consider friends, I pulled my .357 73 and messed around with loading over top.  The technique that I thought worked flawlessly in the past only led to a locked-up rifle.

After experimenting with several techniques and bullet lengths, I think I've hit upon something that will work reliably.  Without Judge and Keystone picking on me, I would have never figured this out.  Thank you gentlemen!

Mongo, I load through the loading gate with my left hand. Cant the rifle left so I can see the loading gate and it works fine and I don't have the problems of locking up  the rifle like I did if I didn't do an over the top right.

Harley, I just seem to get bigger horizontally, not vertically.

Randy, I'll try that with some dummy rounds tonight.

I would normally reload in the top, but in this situation where we need to load 2 rounds, I think I will put them in the loading gate.  "Over the top" is just too many moving parts for it to be worth doing twice .. for me anyway.

By the way, the rules for when you get a penalty for your rifle being "unsafe to leave your hands," has changed, according to Pale Wolf Brunelle.  It certainly makes the reloading easier, but there are still actions that you cannot perform, like decocking. 

Here is a thread on the SASS Wire where Jackalope asks about the rules/penalties (as they used to be) and Pale Wolf (in his second answer, post #8) clarifies that the rules are now different as to when a penalty applies:

I predict:  That Keystone will get his wish that there will be a Pecan Pie on the dessert table.   

[Keystone]
