  1. From what I saw there was a bit of a dry spell on matches posted, there were a few days w/o any NEW results. It did clear up and a bunch showed up to your point, but still no US STEEL NATIONALS. From a few days ago;
  2. “Anyone…? Anyone…? Bueller…? Bueller…?” Where's the official SCSA results from the 2024 US Steel Nationals Match back on 3/15 - 3/17 ? If you have insight, I'd luv to hear it. I see the match results on PS https://practiscore.com/results/html/f77344ca-f57d-4a7d-90b5-647bdfc51e28 however the official SC results page https://scsa.org/results list no results. This is a Level 3 match and the second most important match in the hobby next to the worlds. I also can see that several outstanding times were laid down across several divisions. It will certainly shake up the rankings for 2024 and TopShot2024. http://www.steelrankings.com/ I suspect some back office administration arm wrestling over fees, or maybe I/T SNAFU. I know the range venue is top notch, so can't imagine what the delay is about. Congratulations to the competitors who put in the hard preparation work and "got it done" during match time. I wasn't able to attend, but living vicariously through your results. OK, I'm mostly better, rant over....
  3. Yes, I use them all the time. 4.0 of N310 is the same as the Atlanta arms 100gr ( also Berry's ) steel challenge load. ~ 109pf. I typically load them at 2.4 of N310 for PCC.
  4. A few shakeups in the 2024 Season of TopShot2024. Some unexpected member expirations and several big matches caused a fair amount of movement in rankings. Keep an eye on your USPSA membership expiration, else you risk dropping from SCSA ( Top 20 ) and SteelRankings. http://steelrankings.com/ Follow your SCSA link to see your expiration;
  5. Yes, mostly; It appears the lock ring groove in the weight carrier is a bit oversized and the groove has some play. Whether this is root cause or not who knows; I have (2) setup different weights ( custom made aluminum on the one ); The slot is MUCH tighter on my spare ( AL ) than the mixed steel / tungsten; So... I am not sure how to resolve as they don't sell the 4 weight carrier any more ( current = 5 weights ). I am thinking maybe to try double up on lock rings ? Ideas and comments welcome. For now, I'll swap over things to the other weight carrier with a new lock ring;
  6. As I have been going through alot of o-rings, I found these listed as a suitable replacement on some AR forum. I have them coming today; will report; back; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051XXWEC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I'd like to find an amazon replacement for the lock ring to expedite things;
  7. I spoke to JP, they didn't have any 'aha' moments, but also suggested maybe the lock ring was damaged. I'm very careful in installing the o-rings via rolling over the weights. They said the order of the weights on the carrier is not relevant and would not have any effect. I'm leaning towards either the lock ring or carrier groove is the culprit.
  8. So I need to resurrect this thread after this weekend. I run very low power factor 9mm ( like 82-85pf ) ( 100grain ) Prior to steel challenge match ( 230 rounds ) I inspected my SCS and found that the o-rings were ALL torn ( and they were pretty new ) and the lock ring was pushed out and the weights were moving freely on the SCS shaft. No a good thing at all; No idea how I finished prior match in that condition. So, I rebuilt with all new o-rings ( my config has 4 weights ) ( 2 steel / 2 tungsten ) and off I went to match. next day all clean and reassembled. I use a rifle length tube with a JP plastic spacer and 1 quarter to properly space the SCS. After the 8th stage, I inspected and the SCS was again trashed. ( 230 rounds only ) I had to pull with force to get it out of buffer tube ( normally it is smooth as silk ). O-rings trashed, lock ring popped up; visible wear on the piece that is adjacent to lock ring. Not sure where to start, or what it could be. I alternate steel / tungsten / steel / tungsten and another competitor said I should locate the tungsten closest to the front of the gun, but the JP assembly video showed them mixed, so not sure if that holds any merit. Should point out gun was running reliably the whole time. Something is clearly wrong; Ideas ?
  9. Weekly Ranking updates done; Volume of matches & shooters is picking up in 2024; I know my ranking has decreased a few notches as more and more shooters get out there. I need to play less pickleball and do more shooting !!!! http://www.steelrankings.com/
  10. DNF = Did not Fire DNF is for an entire stage; it essentially equals getting a 30 on every string, but without firing. If you took a shot and then gun breaks you get 30s and not a DNF. You can DNF on any stages; - scenario 1 ; yes ; and then can resume shooting on stage 2; - scenario 2 ; yes ; if you gun were to break or become unreliable on stage 2; you would just DNF for each remaining stage in that division as an example; I've done this with RFPO myself when stuff just not working right; Not worth the aggravation to keep shooting it;
  11. Weird: I tried on my phone / laptop / wife, etc; and all show 1/31; Perhaps hit refresh on the page; I know sometimes my browser caches and even though I 'dirty' the cache it doesn't always recognize; Please confirm it works or NOT !

The idea is TopShot2024; Only 2024 Match results 2024 PST dynamic weekly ranking This 2024 lens on ranking will certainly shuffle week to week as shooters participate in matches. Only 10 days into 2024 and already more than 600 shooters ranked and a few with >95% classification achievement using 2024 only. Get shooting soon for your 15min of fame in the TopShot2024 Rankings ! http://www.steelrankings.com Easter Egg ( All shooters, All divisions, sort isn't right yet but useful ) -->. https://myenos.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/topshot2024/ALL_TOPSHOT_2024_latest.html

  16. @HeadStrawBerryCounter Thank you for the attention to detail !!! Excellent. After looking, the good news is this was only a web site issue and not the values used within my code to compute rankings. I will update ASAP. Thanks again. FYI, here are the values used within the code to compute rankings, etc They look correct to me PST2024 = "STAGE,5 TO GO,SHOWDOWN,SMOKE & HOPE,OUTER LIMITS,ACCELERATOR,THE PENDULUM,SPEED OPTION,ROUNDABOUT,TOTAL"\ "\nDivision,SC-101,SC-102,SC-103,SC-104,SC-105,SC-106,SC-107,SC-108,TotalPST"\ "\nISR,13.5,12.0,10.5,15.75,13.0,14.25,14.0,11.0,104.0"\ "\nLTD,12.5,9.5,9.5,13.5,10.5,12.5,12.5,9.5,90.0"\ "\nOSR,12.25,10.5,10,14.25,12.75,13.5,12.75,10.5,96.5"\ "\nRFPI,10.5,9,8,13,9.25,11,11,8.25,80.0"\ "\nRFPO,8.75,7.5,7,11.5,8.5,9.5,10,7.5,70.25"\ "\nRFRO,9.5,7,7,10.75,8.5,9,9,7,67.75"\ "\nPROD,13,10,10,14,11.5,13,13,10,94.5"\ "\nRFRI,9.75,7.5,7.5,12,9,9.75,10,7.5,73.0"\ "\nOPN,11.25,9.5,8.5,12.5,10.5,11.25,11.5,8.5,83.50"\ "\nSS,13.25,10.5,10.25,14.75,11.75,13.5,13.5,10.5,98.0"\ "\nCO,12.5,9.75,10,13.75,11,12.75,13,9.75,92.50"\ "\nPCCO,9.5,7,7,11.25,8.75,9,9.5,7.5,69.50"\ "\nPCCI,10.75,8.5,7.75,12.25,9.5,10.5,11,8,78.25"
  17. @Squirrel45 I see your 2024 ranking in all these divisions; If I am missing something let me know, but it looks good; Your 2024 results were also picked up; http://www.steelrankings.com @Hoops There are absolutely with 100% certainty people in the SCSA Top 20 who have expired stages and would should not be there based on current TOP 20 Ranking. That was one of the motivating factors in my rankings project. Transparent, accurate, and complete Rankings.
  18. @GKB This is not accurate. I think Gary is thinking about the future 'topshot2024' ( not yet complete or released ); @Hoops No, not correct; I try to keep it very simple so people don't get confused; I think this thread may have run its course as many micro questions confusing many different aspects ( all very good discussion ); I am very happy the data has become a platform for additional analysis done by members like @GKB The 2024 Rankings ( my bread and butter is super accurate , worldwide rankings of all classifications ) adheres to the exact specification from SCSA. 2024 peak times; and current - 2 prior years are incorporated in computing percentage; Expired USPSA membership is deleted and one must have 4+ stages; I deliberately made them 'orange' to help differentiate from the legacy 2023; ---> http://www.steelrankings.com
  19. Latest Recalc: http://steelrankings.com/ Using 2024 PST and only stages shot in the current or preview two calendar years are used for classification ranking i.e. ( 2024,2023,2022 ) 2023 Rankings is Frozen but still on the web page.
  20. Simple addition a- Number of matches held in 2023 by Club; --->. https://myenos.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/output_match_counts.html SAMPLE:
  21. Your assumption is correct on the scenario of when people increase their classification and yes, I drop people from classification if <4 eligible stages. In-Eligible stages can also be scenarios of 120s or 90s.
  22. All Good; thank you for taking the time to play around and hopefully you got some enjoyment. Keep the questions coming.
