Trying to figure out the recoil spring tuning. Any information would be appreciated. My understanding is the lighter the bullet the lighter the spring? 9 mm 115 should be 10 lb spring 147 should be higher? Or am I misunderstanding this?

I've done pistol and shotshell reloading for years but am new to the rifle side and I have a few questions. I've am starting with 300 BLK (initially subsonic). which I shoot with a semi-automatic rifle. I have loaded 10 rounds to chrono. Shot/chrono'd them. Bigger SD than I would have liked but it's a start. I'll do a ladder test next time and see if I get improvements. I have cut down/resized .223 brass. I am right around 1.358" on most of the brass. I have a LE Wilson case gauge and full-length sizing die. Right now my process is to re-size the brass. Trim to 1.358". Chamfer/deburr. Load. My question is for where I am and what I am doing (300 BLK subsonic) do you think I need to get a comparator and an OAL length gauge? Are those standard tools for rifle? Must haves? I'm not looking for precision right now. Just plinking stuff but I still want to be safe obviously. Eventually I'd like to load other rifle rounds such as .223, .308, .30-06, etc.

I have a question to those who have experience of running matches with shot timers, how do you universalize, so to speak, sensitivity setting on a shot timer, so you don't have to tweak it between every shooter? What are the traps for young ROs when it gets to shot timer's sensitivity? I understand that different shot timers require different approaches so this question is a bit abstract, but please maybe share what you can from your experience? My concern is that if you set sensitivity too much, it may pick up slide release sound or shooters from adjacent bay or stage, or shotgun cycling sound, or any other loud sound that is not a gunshot. But if you set sensitivity too low, you may not pick up shots if you too far, for example if its a USPSA or other match where shooter is on the move and RO did not catch up yet to shooter he may be too far and sensitivity of the timer may ignore the shot? I have seen at couple steel challenge matches when if RO set timer too sensitive to pick up some of those .22 rifles it was picking other shooters from adjacent bay so sensitivity had to be set higher than usual but not all the way and RO got timer very very close to the gun, like literally 10" close. ThenI have seen a YouTube video where someone claims that he was timed wrong because at the end of the stage he unloaded a shotgun and sound of unlocking triggered timer. What is the best way to manage shot sensitivity to get the best out of it with least adjustments? How cautious you need to be about proper sensitivity setting? What are the things to be on a lookout so you don't run a stage just to find out that you picking up shots from adjacent bay or not picking up shots at all, do you have two timers, one for loud guns and one for quiet guns or you manually juggling between two sets of settings? Do you rather try to have higher sensitivity and stay further back from the shooter or actually have lower sensitivity and stay closer to shooter. Any info regarding this matter is very welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am a junior shooter that has some questions about 3 gun divisions. Are 3-gun and multi-gun the same? Do they have different rules? I have a 5.56 Ar-15, a stock 9mm handgun, a Cordoba that holds 2, and a 870 pump 12 gauge. What devision would I shoot in if I use the pump, handgun, and ar?

Will a Glock extracter from a 9mm Glock slide work in a Glock 35 slide? RE: will it extract the brass and help it clear my sjc cmore scope mount. And will I BE better off changeing out the ejector blaock as well?

How hard is it to convert a DA/SA 75 to SAO? Is there anything you have to be especially wary of?
