  1. I don't see any procedurals in the OP. As others have said, ask him/her to cite the rule for you. If you don't have 1 already, grab a hard copy of the rules somewhere and keep it in your bag.
  2. Watching the video I would give you 2 procedurals. For firing shots outside of the shooting area. If the WSB indicated that this was a forbidden action, that's a whole other kettle of fish. 2.2.1.2 Shooting Boxes and Fault Lines are used to define the limits of the shooting area(s). (See Rule 10.2.1) 10.2.1 A competitor who fires shots while any part of their body is touching the ground or while stepping on an object beyond a Shooting Box or a Fault Line, or who gains support or stability through contact with an object which is wholly beyond and not attached to a Shooting Box or Fault Line, will receive one procedural penalty for each occurrence. However, if the competitor has gained a significant advantage on any target(s) while faulting, the competitor may instead be assessed one procedural penalty for each shot fired at the subject target(s) while faulting. No penalty is assessed if a competitor does not fire any shots while faulting, providing doing so does not violate (2.2.1.5 or 3.2.6) Shots fired after completely (both feet out and touching the ground) leaving a shooting area will be penalized one penalty per shot until the competitor establishes a presence in a new shooting area with at least one foot on the ground inside the shooting area.
  3. I have about 14k through mine. No problems so far. If you have doubts, send it off to Canyon Creek. Rich does a fantastic job on XD's.
  4. -10 degrees in MN this morning, -25 wind chill. Good day to reload. Got the new SDB set up yesterday in 9mm. The .40 SDB was lonely.
  5. Building a rifle for multi-gun. I want to shoot Tactical Division. According to the rule book; 5.1.4 Sights 5.1.4.2 says I can mount a scope along with iron sights 5.1.4.2.1 "The magnifier does not include an aiming reticle" I'm confused about the aiming reticle. What constitutes an aiming reticle? Am I limited to a dot type optical sight in Tactical? Thanks Ed
  6. Hey Steve. Try this link. There's a calendar section on the left. Hope that this helps. www.mnuspsa.org Ed
  7. Same here. A few flakes now & then. 4.6g TG w/180 Extremes. Reloading on a SDB.
  8. Thanks All. Checked the box marked Glock 17 on my certificate. Says it may take up to 20 weeks for delivery. At least I have time to consider all of my build options. Ed
  9. I won a Glock certificate at a recent match. I already own both production & limited Glocks. I'm also set up to reload both 9mm & .40. I would like to build an open Glock, but I'm on the fence on caliber. Here are the questions. What are the advantages or disadvantages of each one? Home build kits, or spend the extra dough and send it to ZEV or SJC or ? Slide mount optics or frame mount? Other ideas or advice? Thanks Ed
  10. 7.3.2 References in these rules to Range Officials (e.g. "Range Officer", "Range Master" etc.), mean personnel who have been officially appointed by match organizers to actually serve in an official capacity at the match. Persons who are certified Range Officials, but who are actually participating in the match as regular competitors, have no standing or authority as Range Officials for that match. Such persons should therefore not participate in the match wearing garments bearing Range Official insignia.
  11. Fixed it this AM. I adjusted the flare a bit smaller, and it works. Thanks to all. Ed
  12. OK, got it narrowed down. The cases are being over flared at the powder die. If I bypass the priming/powder stage, seat & crimp bullet, they gauge fine.
  13. I'll give it a try. I used the crimp setting from factory. Ed
  14. Need some help/suggestions please. Set up my new SDB and cases are bulging within bullet seating depth, after crimp. I'm using a hundo and a Lee case gauge. I've gauged after the resizing die & they're fine. Prime, powder, case flair. Won't fit. (Of course) Bullet seat. Won't fit. (again of course) They don't fit in gauges after crimp. Also don't fit it gun. STI Trojan. .40 Cases: Mixed brass. I've sorted by head stamp and no difference. No Glock bulges. Bullet: Xtreme 10/40-180 RNFP HPCB OAL: 1.135 They are gauging at .422 consistently. Thanks Ed
  15. I have Leukemia (B-Cell), stage 3, and been trying to shoot as often as possible. Did chemo last week, and shot Rio on Saturday. Tanked the match. Oh well. At times shooting gets me out of the mental funk that seems to run around in my brain. It gives me the chance to exercise my body & mind. It also gives me the chance to see people that are not involved in my care or treatment. I found over the past 7 months I've found out that I do move slower through a stage, my eyesight is a little poorer, my reactions are not as fast. I've kept shooting as much as possible though. I too suffer from "Chemo Brain". There are weeks that I really look forward to shooting at match, and wake up on match day just fried. No match today. When I attend, I push myself to help out. Taping, setting steel, and running shooters. I know when to stop & sit. You also need to drink lots of fluids. Before, during, and after. Dave, I like your avatar. Got a porta-cath myself. Best thing I did prior to starting chemo.
  16. If you want to video your buddy shooting a stage, that's great. As a RO, I would like to know about it before I start the shooter. If all of a sudden I catch you in my peripheral vision, coming up on us, I may stop the shooter. Bad news for him. Re-Shoot. Bad news for you. In the least, a chewing out. In the worst, in you're a competitor, a DQ. 10.6.1 10.6.2 If I'm running the clipboard, don't get between me & the RO. I have things to watch for, and can't be distracted by someone videoing. Don't climb a berm to get that great shot. (I've seen this happen). If you want to put a remote cam down range, ask first. Remember, if you do this you're taking a chance that your friend will not hit it with a round, or splatter.
  17. Rich did all of the work on my wife's XD 9mm Tactical. Can't say enough about the quality. She's been shooting it for 4 years now. Not a single malfunction.
  18. I have a lot of my moving & conventional lighting at Coachella. Hope you enjoy. Ed
  19. I ran across (and bought) a Para 16-40 that someone JB welded the front sight on. Is there a way to break the weld without damaging the slide or front sight cut?
