I'll be shooting CDP in SS class on Thursday.

BTW, John, I will be flying this year & need to get 300 rounds of .45 ACP to the match. I understand the airlines limit the amount one can check in. M.I.S.S. does not want to accept the responsibility of receiving shipment & suggested shipping it to the hotel.

I have a handload that chronos at 170 & works flawlessly (over 6k rounds) in my guns so I would hate to have to use factory ammo.

Any suggestions?

News to me. Per Northwest checked luggage regulations, "Northwest Airlines will accept up to three pieces of checked luggage without charge to customers providing a maximum weight of 70 pounds and a maximum total linear dimension (length plus width plus height) of 62 inches is not exceeded. These maximums stated are per piece of checked luggage."

If it fits in a checked bag, weighs less than 70# and is in a different bag than your declared bag w/pistol in locked hard case, it should be no problem. I would call whoever you are flying on to verify whatever the regulations are.

Sorry Steve, only charter members got the shirts. That mold was broken in too many ways.

I'll be there "helping" you guys thru whatever dastardly stage I'm assigned. Since I'll be shooting SSR/SS with the SO's, I especially want to "help" Steve...how about a couple of procedurals or maybe an FTDR for being a revolver gamer...yeah, that's the ticket.

I will post a topic about Team ******* sometime in the next few days. We need to plan a night for the whole bunch to wear our Team ******* shirts and honor our fallen gunsmith in a manner fitting. I know Brian will be looking down and enjoying the show. I still miss him and think of him often. It's hard to believe he's gone when he was there with us just last year.

I'll be there, representing the Tennessee Chaptor of Team ******* along with Mikey, just name the time and place.

BTW, I have flown on MWA several times. No one ever mentioned anything about how much ammo I was carrying. But it has been a couple of years.

Better watch it Mikey, I was thinking about shooting my 686, 4" NONpported but, now, I just might shoot my "gamer" pencil barrel, 4 screw, model 10 instead.

SteveW and blunder,
Both of you behave or I'll send you to your rooms. Blunder, after your performance on Wednesday night, I'm not sure if I want to be on the same team with you.
