    Combat Darwinism.

    I like that term :cheers:

    Oh well, they've got their game, we've got ours.

    The biggest difference is that we stand a much better chance of walking off of the range when it's over instead of being wheeled off in a hefty sack with zippers.

    .45 Auto Semi-wadcutter problem

    in 44/45 Caliber

    Leave your seat and crimp dies set for hardball and a reasonably decent running 45 will eat them with no problems whatsoever. Start adjusting for COL with different bullets and your 45 will start choking.

    Yep, very true. I don't toy with mine at all switching between 200 and 230's, and they all feed/fire fine.

    6 grains is way too much red dot with a 230 grain bullet

    the OAL needs to be 1.250 with the SWC bullets

    I was using 4.2 grains with 200 grain LSWC and was still in the 190 PF.

    I have used 4.2 GR of Promo, the equivalent of Red Dot and was in the 188PF range according to my logbook.

    Just junk the SWC and stick to RN. It works in all guns of good quality. As said before reliability is more important than nice round holes in the target. Yuo need to be calling your shots in any case and not looking at bullet holes in the paper.

    Johann... he got them FREE :rolleyes: No need to junk them unless they are way out of spec, in which case I'll take them and even spring for postage B)

    Yeah, the 180 violations during the tumbling portion of the show were downright scary, and I think if I hear someone say "contact" at a match, I'd freeze up like a deer in the headlights. I would LOVE to hear the official reason for it. Is this related to the mall ninja joke running around? It may actually be grounded in reality with these uhhh "operators". Scary.

    Any one shooting the M&P 40?

    My M&P .40 is the most reliable pistol I own...not picky about ammo, cleanliness, etc. You can get quite a few things to customize it from Speed Shooter Specialties, and their 'smith Pedro kicks out an excellent trigger along with the excellent customer service there. Nice sights, triggers, magwells, and everything else you'll need is there. It is a great pistol to run in Limited and Limited 10 IMO. Good luck, and search around, there's tons of info here.

    I am so sorry to hear this story...brings back memories of what happened around here a few years when we were getting hammered with one storm after another. Generators are HOT items in times like these. I hope the douches get tagged for something else stupid, and you get it back. You definitely have my sympathy.

    Claydot vs CLAYS

    An email from Ben, a consumer service manager who has been helpful in the past with other non-posted data-

    "I am sorry but we have not developed any data for Clay Dot in handgun cartridges. For the cartridges you have mentioned, (9MM,.40 S&W,.45ACP)Unique would be a good choice. Have you tried it before?

    Thanks for your interest in contacting us and let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Soooo...... proceed at your own risk, as no official testing has been done. Oh well, it was worth asking.

    Freakin .380 brass in my 9mm pile

    in What I Hate

    Posted

    Oh yeah... it happens. I have escaped this over the last 10K or so of 9MM I have loaded, but in the beginning, it was hell. Yes, .380 will chamber and fire, but the giveaway for me was FTE problems. I dumped all of my 9MM brass on the garage floor and sorted it again, haven't had an issue since.

    And yes, small primer brass in .45causes small blue clouds to float around the property after every work stoppage. PITA.

    I'm tired of the gubment giving my money (taxpayer funds) to firms that are going under due to inept management, poor decisions, and/or greed. ...It's time for accountability, not bailouts.

    dj

    I concur wholeheartedly... taking money from those without a say {taxpayers} is flipping weak and wrong headed. :(

    I hope no one takes this personal.

    I don't take it personally...I'm just a network guy behind the scenes that keeps the transactions safe and secured. :)
