Is the rifle brass sacraficial in a sass shoot? I can see recovering your
revolver brass but the rifle part of a stage seems to hectic to recoup
your brass. Thanks

Howdy,

in SASS shoots, most cowboys use the same cartridge for pistol and rifle. i.e., 45 colt for both or .38 cal for both. When I shoot, I pick up my 45 colt brass and reload them. Do the same for shotgun. I believe that the only time you would not be able to pick up your brass would be at a regional, state or EOT shoot. Hope this helps.

When you finish shooting, you pick up your guns and take them to an unloading table, and while you are unloading and the timer and scoreers are tallying your score, other members of the posse will be picking up your brass, then you can do the same for them while others shoot.  At larger events when they are trying to move a lot of shooters through in a short amount of time, you loose your brass.  However, sometimes at the end of the shoot, brass will have been picked up , seperated by calibre, bagged and sold.  Most of the shooters I know like high round count matches, and it's just too darned expensive without relaoding your brass.

Thanks for the responses, my first trip to a shoot in 2000 kinda turned me off on sass but as time goes on I keep pondering it. May have to give it
a try yet!
