  1. The only thing I can think of is that most of the longish shooting back east is NRA Highpower. 75+ grain bullets are the norm there, and the online forums reflect that. I still have a bunch of heavy bullets from shooting that game, they don't get used at all for 3 gun. Nosler Ballistic Tips or Hornady V-Max is what I've used for years when I traveled west to shoot Rocky Mountain 3 Gun.
  2. I do miss my friends there, the weather, not so much. Hopkinton is a good club too.
  3. Good luck with your shooting in New England. You may wind up driving a bit more than you think, but good clubs are there.
  4. BUAS currently isn't full. The lousy weather hasn't pushed the shooters indoors yet. Harvard, which is running the same day is full.
  5. Search BUAS on Practiscore. It's indoor, 4 stages and the number of shooters are limited as the USPSA group must be done and torn down by 1:00 PM. They fill up fast since it's only 25 or 30 shooters that can play. Stages are challenging and fun. Search on YouTube for some of the shooters, you'll see it's not just simple stages.
  6. Contact Gregg Derr at Derr Precision. Gregg is a bullseye shooter he may have insight on your issues with the Benelli.
  7. Harvard would a lot closer than the Monson club. From Litchfield there isn't a short/fast way to Monson that I'm aware of. You have me at a disadvantage, I may know you, but I'll need a name.
  8. I shot at both locations when I still lived in Mass.
  9. Berwick is about 30 minutes from the Sig Academy. Area 7 was held in at the Hampden Rifle and Pistol Club in Maine.
  10. EGW sells a blank mount for the optic, you'll have to have it adapted to work with your slide cut. It's not a drop on conversion.
  11. Why not call Springer Precision and ask them for the correct plate? Is your gun a factory cut, or done by someone else?
  12. A friend has purchased ZSR primers from them and got them okay.
  13. I have some old 11 round .45 mags, they fit the gauge with no base pad.
  14. Dave, I do miss my friends and the matches we shot together.
  15. LOL, dmshozer past into "Distinguished Senior" a decade ago.
  16. My understanding was that Charlie Kelsey sold it to Chip.
  17. I used Wilson/Rogers mags with Devel followers and springs since the 1980's with no problems. I guess the Wilson 47D was the new designation. Replacement followers and springs worked good, but were a bitch to seat. So, Wilson ETM's are what get used in matches. How many people here know about Devel? Damn, I'm old.

    Milled Rival

    The Darkside comes with 5 plates. Did you look?
  19. Helicoils are the same pitch as the intended thread, but, the diameter is not. Helicoils have dedicated taps to cut the proper thread for the insert. You need to check the insert for the screw that will be using the Helicoil.
  20. If you have the original springs and followers, try putting them back in before you do anything else.
  21. Add at the yellow line. There should not be an angle at that area.
  22. You posted what you wanted to see. Keep reading D5 21 and D5 22. Duplicating features that are on a fa ctory, mass produced slide available to the gen eral public is permitted. Cuts that are designed to specifically or significantly lighten the slide, such as holes, or slots, are ruled as competitive advantage and prohibited. 22 Prohibited modifications a nd features • External modifications or features such as weights or devices to control or reduce recoil (such as, but not limited to, thumb rests or components which could be used as such). • Slide racking devices are prohibited. • Cone and flanged barrels are n ot allowed. All barrels must have a bushing installed, regardless of barrel diameter. This does not apply to pistols having a barrel length of 4.20 inches or less. • Slide lightening, cuts, ports, or any milling deemed to provide a competitive advantage. 23
  23. Your zero distance probably was more of an issue than lack of magnification.
  24. Replace the pistol mag pouches with a quad pouch. It adds more room for other stuff.
