Like I said, our club is not downloading. They rather frown on that as somewhat wimpy. I'm certainly not afraid of a substantial charge - we load our own for a lot of calibers in excess of .40 - including .41 Mag and .455 Webley among the more oddball ones.

I’m sure your club doesn’t but like the guy who was shooting at our club, it doesn’t take much for a spectator to get the wrong idea as to the rules. There’s gamesters in all of our sports that take the fun out of it for the rest of us.

One incident comes to mind. There was a competitor who ran out of rounds on the last target. Instead of losing time by reloading, he took the miss by yelling out, “BANG”. The spectators including me gave out a silent WTF. When the awards were issued our hero was tied for first place. If I remember, the officials knocked him down to third.

By the way, I would love to see a picture of your Webley. I’ve liked them since watching the movie, “The Mummy”.

You'd never know without a chrono stage. I can just about guarantee the top finishers are shooting light loads.

If not, they'll eventually get beat my somebody that is.
