Straight to open....

At the beginning of December I was looking for some .40 caliber hole punchers and was checking the usual go to's. I found the Acme undated their stock daily and they limit orders to 1K. I also found a small outfit out of Texas called Cimarron Bullets, on a whim I placed an order for 1K. They arrived in a week and were just good looking coated bullets. The coating was uniform and cured properly, the weighs were consistent, the diameters were spot on, and the shot just fine. I will be placing orders with them in the future. I like to spread my money around and I've never had an issue with coated bullets from any vendor. They all worked fine for USPSA stuff.

Bullseye your one stop shop for .38Spl powder....Cheap, works with all bullet weights, can load bunny fart to +P, and usually easy to find....

Umm you just supported my point. It seems the ergonomics of the 2011 work better for you. I never said anything about hand size, just maybe the 2011 fits your hand better allowing you to control the recoil better.

My bet is it's ergonomics. The STI fits your hand better or you are just use to the grip or a combo of the two. There s lot to be said about your grip and controlling recoil.

I use Cajun CZ trigger return springs, 20,000+ rounds later still haven't broke one on my Stock II. I use PD hammer & main springs and a Henning plunger spring.

But I'm a lowly USPSA shooter

That's very gun dependent. But, I have yet to find a bullet that didn't have acceptable accuracy at 25 to 30 yards. I did find that plated bullets regularly had the largest groups. As with all things YMMV.

I've used both in 9mm & .40SW and haven't noticed any difference in loading, reliability, accuracy, SD, and/or PF. I use them interchangeably. Personally I think they are snake oil, but at one time Match Primers were all I could find, so I bought a butt ton or them.

Where were the rest of the people at match? Someone there should have had an IQ above refrigerator temp. If I had witnessed that I would have instantly called BS. As a shooter and RO I'm not ever going to let another RO make a BS call without voicing my opinion. I would have to rule book out and be asking for clarification. Bad calls affect ALL of us equally.

Mobil 1 5W20 is my go to....Typically have some leftover from change the oil in my Wife's Tahoe...Been running it for years on every gun I own....Shotguns, ARs, pistols, bolt guns, lever guns, .......All that other gun oil is just over priced snake oil..... The gun industry just doesn't sell enough oil to make it's own...they steal from other industries...

That is my exact load...same bullet, same OAL....I use Fed or Win SPP..

Is it available in the wild?

Simple answer...YES.

I have no issues with the value of USPSA. Everytime I shoot a match I giggle at the cheap fun it is..... As far as Practiscore goes. It's really a fantastic tool. I'd definitely but the maker a beer or two and a steak if he wanted. I hope he gets enough compensation for it. BUT if Practiscore pulled the trigger, I'd be fine with paper and an Excell spread sheet. I wouldn't want to but I would.
