a bunch of us went to the BPTR nationals at Raton. I had a real good time that ended on an unbelievable high. Got the high Marksman medal, then got super lucky in the drawing and won the longrange rife donated by CPA, fitted with a 45-90 barrel provided by Buffalo Arms and long range sights from Steve Baldwin.

Thanks. Just talked to Kathi at Jamison brass, and she says they are getting ready to make a run of 45-90's. As well as their 44-77 brass works for me, I'm thinking this new CPA rifle deserves the best.

FWIW Midway has Starline .45-90 brass in stock, right now. I just grabbed a couple hundred myself last week.

I have a few stretched Remingtons, and some of the scrapline stuff, but I'll wait for the Jamison for serious load work.

A big congrats, Don. But do tell, what don't you like about Starline brass and why do you prefer Jamison?

Paul Thanks Paul. It's to hard,there is absolutely no reason to have brass that hard, and have to anneal it before it works. The 40-65 brass looks like it's half starved to death, one should not see the case web from the outside of brass fresh out of the factory box. In the 1/2 dozen handgun cartridges I've shot the stuff in it will not come anywhere near the accuracy of Remington, Winchester or Federal... Other than that I guess it's alright.

She's gonna shoot with a bit of load development. The design of the stock 600 yds is as close as it's gonna get. 81 grs. Olde Eynsford 1.5, RCBS 82084 bullet.

YeeHaa! That'll do! I used to have the same opinion of Starline brass because of my handgun brass experiences. Then, I bought 200 pieces of Starline .45-70 brass to go with my new Shiloh because I couldn't find any Remington or Winchester, much less Jamison. My Starline brass isn't too hard. It seals the chamber quite nicely, I get consistent bullet pull, and it is very consistent in weight and other dimensions. Ed

Don, has that particular CPA got Shuttleworth's "Through Bolt" adaptation ?
....BEST triggers in the game, as long as that spindly .32-40 sized lower tang don't get flexed, if you follow my drift.

Greg it's a Shuttleworth gun. That trigger set up is just a dream. You lay in there and get the target centered, gently squeeze that front trigger and the thing is off and running and the sights never move until the recoil hits. Dang thing is probably gonna shoot good enough to kick me out of the Marksman class and make me shoot with the big boys...
