Quigley Flier

[Don McDowell]

I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around them banning coated bullets as they aren't "authentic" enough... At a match where any kind of powder, and any single shot or levergun is allowed?
Oh well I guess that's progress I spoze

[Mike]

Has anyone said what a "coated bullet" is? Does a paper patch bullet "coated" with the Red Rooster dry lube sold by Buffalo Arms fall into the ban? Shoot sharp, Mike

[Don McDowell]

It says coated with epoxy or powder... So where does that leave liquid alox covered bullets? Does that also mean you can't use motor mica after you lube the bullets?
I can see it if it was something that was causing target damage, but something not being "authentic" just don't fly on this deal IMHO..

[Mike]

I'm not trying to argue about the rules but I would like to understand them a little better. Where is their cut-off date for authenticity and are smokeless loads with gas check bullets authentic? Shoot sharp, Mike

[Don McDowell]

Yes that's the part that's got me curious,, if smokeless and gaschecks are aok in a plastic stocked TC Encore... what exactly is the definition of authentic?

[J.B.]

Hmmm.... At least I'm not the only one. Shoot sharp, Mike

... Certainly not the only one Mike. . Just means we're still alive Bob , my son will be shooting his 40/70 ss , Shiloh Creedmoor. I certainly agree on you about getting youngsters involved. Dead certain I agree with you on the Montana ..( and visiting ) talent also.My son recently turned 15 ..and not a lot goes unnoticed

Gavin, I'd like to meet your son and maybe trade some notes with him, or you. I just might have my .40/70 SS C. Sharps Highwall at Quigley, that is if it ever learns how to shoot. Actually that statement is unfair, I just got it on paper today at 200 yards. This time the scope was mounted tightly enough that it didn't move. All shots scored and that amounted to 35 shots, at 100 yard paper, plus gongs at 100 and 200 yards, without cleaning. By the time I got to the 200 yard paper, the gun must have been pretty tired. Also, I shot some paper patched bullets through my .40/70 SS today for the first time. That was rather nice but windage was off. Still good! Anyway, I just might take my .40/70 along on that trip. Shoot sharp, Mike

[Lumpy Grits]

Bit lost too, on the bullet coat thing.
My bet, Buzz is talking about powder coated and moly coated bullets.
Do agree about the WHY-just don't see it as a big deal
Neither will 'hurt' a steel target.
My wife and I use Bear Creek moly-coated bullets for SASS events.
Oh-Well, not my 'house'.
Won't affect us, as we won't be attending. Due to the fact that Barbara just started a new job and have "0" vacation time till next year.

Yeh it doesn't affect me one way or the other, but dang I can take a pink camo stock tc encore in 375 ruger shooting gas check bullets with smokeless powder and fit the authenticity thing, but stuff some of them cases with some of the coated bullets from John Olsen's outfit, and dq'ld you are...

[Steve Anderson]

I'm sorry Don but if I see you shootin a tc much less a pink camo one I'm gonna giggle like a school boy. Just can't see it. Steve
