Gee Whiz; you get to practice the classifier before the match?

Yes really. HF=P/T is math equation. The If then Else statement is logic applied to address the zero divide, hence a programming logic work around a zero divide.

Shoot it like a normal stage. In the olden days, there was a philosophy to shoot classifiers as "Hero to Zero". The current classifier system (IMHO) has a high hit factor issue with many (subjective term) classifiers. Some clubs publish the classifier before the match and people would practice them. Some club shoot the classifier stage twice; once for the match and once for headquarters. I agree with some above statements; Draws, reloads and single hand (weak or strong) are the fundamentals of doing well in classifiers. Speed can triumph accuracy. In my opinion, you do not want to be some one who rocks classifiers and gets a high classification and tank in matches. Steve Anderson address this once or twice.

Arithmetic (from the Greek ἀριθμός arithmos, "number") is a branch of mathematics -- Wiki A distinction without a difference IMHO. It is still a number divided by zero issue regardless of specificity, DUH

Who stakes a sear pin? WOW

I have keyboard hands! So I would agree.

I had an IOR. Loved it. Schott Glass! They eye box was a little short but manageable. I used it at RM3G. It worked great. I gave it to a friend. I run a Swaro 1.7-10. Awesome.

Forbidden Action is generally about Safety.

From what is describe it sounds like a DQ - AD. The shot landed within 10 feet and the target was farther away(?) and the gun was not pointed at the target(?).

REF. NO DQ. How do you determine if it is intentional or not? Such a squirrelly judgement call on intention.

I am in the desert southwest, so moisture is not a major problem like in the humid states. The heat does cause sweating but I have never had an issue with the skate tape. The micro pockets are nice, I know some people stone them down a little to make them a little less aggressive. Kind of pick your poison type situation.

Sorry for my ignorance; I didn't thing a Lee Factory Crimp Die was a taper die. Can someone illuminate my darkness?

I shot my first match with my new JP 13 on Saturday. What fun! I was out of town for most of the week and only had about 20 rounds down the pipe since I got it. The gun ran flawlessly!! I see what people are saying about the mag release, regardless I suspect with time I will become more proficient with my reloads. Gotta love 33 round Glock mags.

Travis Tomasie has/had a great drill on YouTube about calling your shots. Two targets; one far, one next to you. BE once told me if you know where your sights were, when you broke the shot you'll know where you hit the target.

Dave S, Bob V, Jessie D, Tori N all got world, national and regional championships with Glocks. Is that far enough? You're down under so you don't get to have Taran trick you Glock out. BTW: Taran made GM in a year with a Glock. I have sent three Glocks to Taran and they all came back significantly better than stock. I had a CZ that Angus' group worked on and I was not disappointed in the least. A great f@%&@ing platform. Sold it to the father of my godson so it would end up his some day. I regret that sale. But if you have the more money than sense Infinity is the only way to go. I have 5 of them including one dedicated for .22..

I just did another reread of Lanny Bassham. He stated among the World and Olympic champions, he never heard them talk about a bad match. He went on to say talking about a bad match just re-enforces it and makes another bad match more likely. Learn your area(s) for development and proceed.

320 followed by 320 followed by 320. I hate to tinker.

Safariland 014. It is adjustable for all my SV guns.

Springs do wear out but they come with extra. After 10 years and a gallion rounds the Aftec failed but it gave me plenty of warning. I was too stupid to heed its call.

Trust Eric

MAC702, I agree. Those on the fringe/edge are not big enough fish to most lawyers. Federal was a big fish. Dillon makes it easy to load your own. I used a small commercial reloader for my 45 and 40. When I switch to 40 I gave him a FCD. He pitched a fit bring out articles on long guns and crimps. He did his testing and was satisfied I was not a complete idiot-partial but not complete. I actually gave him my powder and bullets to load. He dedicated a 1050 just for my ammo. I now own that 1050. Best investment I ever made, yes I did the cost benefit analysis and also determine my breakeven point. Regardless, there are a lot of people loading on less expensive Dillon and are very happy. Buy Blue

Is the company Unique Tek? Pull the Dillon out. Unless you are measuring and weighing each piece of brass and using a trickle powder measure you are going to get variations. There are many other variables in the process to get all weird about variations. GmanBart and I disagree on chrono technique. I think we are both right. Since Area 2 and Nationals use the three shot method, I use many three shot strings and determine if I make my PF. Then I download all those string into an Excel spreadsheet and look at group of 7, then groups of 10. I can walk into Area 2 with a NM PF of 167 and hit 166-168 at A2. I use Zero bullets mostly because of Angus. I have had 200 gr Zero bullets weigh 198,199,200, and 200.1. Another variable. If you are hitting your power factor with my method, I would not care if there were variations. Other methods of just as valid.

No more guessing how many turns of the adjustment screw will get you back to that perfect powder weight. Features • Precision 40tpi Micrometer Head • Durable All Steel Construction. • Fits All Powder Bar Sizes • Also fits SL 900 Powder Bar and Shot Bars! * * Minor modification required. Much more than just a dial or knob … the Micrometer Powder Bar Kit™ replaces the original 1/4-28 adjustment bolt with a true precision micrometer with 40 threads per inch. You will be able to return instantly to any powder weight setting with a speed and an accuracy never before possible. Of course, you still must weigh and confirm all powder weight setting changes. — Kit includes: Micrometer head, LocTite® and installation instructions.† † Powder bar not included.

Nothing to be sorry about. It is just a case the laws of math v. reality. Computer foundations are math based. Smart designers understand the challenge. As we most programs, situations arise that were not addressed originally/earlier and require changes/enhancements. This is a fairly normal exercise.

Unfortunately my good friend was the VV technical rep. At Rio Salado it seemed most folks used VV. I have had no reason to change from VV320 for 9mm, 40 S&W, and 45ACP. Consistent, easy to meter, burns clean, and soft. Most people bitch about the price which to me is laughable. But to each their own.

I use vv320 exclusively on my 1050. I change out the powder drop to a micro. It is true I do get some slight variations sometimes. But over the course of multiple 3 round chrono strings it is pretty consistent. I mean for years. So unless you are a bench rest shooter with a trickle drop live with the variations. I kept probably 20 different chrono results from Area and National matches and the variance was usually less than 1 power factor all things equal. All things equal because during a very cold Nationals in Tulsa the PF drop while the next day was warmer and a different match the PF was back at the expect PF. VV320 is a great powder and very consistent for me.
