Jim McBurnett will be the RM again this year.

Hello everyone, I am the co-match director for the USPSA Area 3 Championship this year with Scott Arnburg. The match this year will be August 2-4 at Heartland Public Shooting Park in Grand Island, NE. We still need CROs and ROs for the match. For the staff package this year we will be paying a per diem of $160 for Friday-Sunday as well as comping your match fee. Two staff shirts will be provided as well as lunch Friday-Sunday. There will be a staff appreciation dinner on Friday night after the match. If you would like to help with the match as a CRO or RO please sign up using this link. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the match this year! - Aaron Hiemke

Thank you for the info, I'll just keep this load for now and wait for the new components to show up.

I just started running in open and shot my first match with my 2011 at the Great Plains Sectional this weekend with minor PF I'm getting ready to start load development on a major PF load. I will eventually switch to Everglades 115 JHP with HS-6 but I want to finish up the regular Xtreme 115s and 3n38 I have first. I plan to load these to around 1450 FPS since they will only be used for practice and local matches. I've read a lot saying it needs to be either heavy plate or JHP for major. Is there any reason why the standard plating ones would be a bad idea for a short period? I have about 1500 bullets left and about 5 pounds of 3n38. My minor load for the sectional was 7.9gr seated at 1.165 and it chronoed right at 1300. I'm using a Kart barrel with no popples.

The failures actually mostly happen before the rounds are even out of the mag and bind up on the back of the feed ramp, I thought about getting one of those but waited to see what exactly what issues I was having and realized it probably wouldn't help much. Thanks for the tip I picked up a Glock lower today and at least cycling by hand it feeds flawless, hopefully that takes care of the issues.

That looks very familiar...I'm up to try any possible solutions at this point, I'll probably stop by my FFL tomorrow and pick up the spikes lower they have and see if that helps at all.

I was hoping someone would be able to help me here as I haven't been able to find any solutions that have helped. I have a Colt style 9mm AR I built that has had a lot of feeding issues since I built it, I have gotten it down to about 1-2 malfunctions per magazine but only load 28 out of 32 any more and its almost guaranteed to have a failure after the first round is fired, I cannot get through a magazine without failure. It is having failures to feed, double feeds and some weird ones that send rounds above the bolt. I also have a mag that has a Taylor Freelance extension that will feed nothing out of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Parts list and loads are listed below. CMMG MK9 lower Gibbz Arms side charge upper Odin Works ultra light barrel Taccom Extreme short stroke bolt Kaw Valley Precision PCC XP buffer spring Odin Works 9mm adjustable buffer(have tried each configuration with no difference in reliability) Have tried a standard CMMG 9mm buffer(no difference from the Odin buffer) Hiperfire Hipertouch Eclipse trigger Metal Form Colt SMG mags with Taylor Freelance springs and followers The last couple loads I have been trying were 115gr plated round nose with either Win 244 or VV 3N38 I have tried loads with 115,124, and 147 gr bullets with Win 244, CFE Pistol, VV 3N38, and Titegroup as well as multiple factory loads and have not seen any difference in reliability as a result of ammunition.

Have you used it for every stage in those matches? I might get one to try once I get the gun and load figured out.

Does anyone have any experience with the F5 9mm Colt AR Drum Mag?

I should have specified I talked to Matt about modifying it slightly but he wants to see what I want marked out on a grip so I need some decent pictures of the sides that I can send back to him with what I am wanting as mine is his standard texture.

Would anyone who has a Cheely L2 Aggressive grip be willing to get a couple pictures of both sides for me?

You would need to use a standard barrel(bushing) and have it threaded for that comp blank

Great! Thanks for the help guys!

I have a friend who wants me to mill his 1911 slide for a Delta Point, I know for open guns the mounts have 1 degree in them for the barrel in lockup does that need to be accounted for milled into the slide?

That looks really good, I'll probably be going with them once I get the gun finished that will be getting that coating, the one I am working on now I've decided to send to Blown Deadline
