I loaded on a 650 for ten years. Converted to a 1050 last month. I wish I would have bought one 9 years ago. If I had known? I would have! That said? Caliber conversions take twice as long. Or longer: you’re pretty much rebuilding the press if going from small to large primer... so factor that in as well. If you’ll load thousands of rounds in a aingle caliber before switching? 1050. No question.

What do you have in mind regarding a new diet / exercise program? What goals are you looking to reach by making some changes?

I’m going to weld a couple of colt mags together, I think. 32+10 is too difficult to consistently seat on a closed bolt... til you strip more than 3-4 rounds out of it. I’d like to have 45 or so on an unloaded start, and to seat easily, I’d want a mag capacity of 50-55 rounds so it clicks right in nice and easy because it’s downloaded 10 rounds.

How many of you have found that things improved dramatically when you tipped it to a steeper 45+ degree incline? I think we can all agree that the initial dial-in so that it feeds is pretty quick. It’s getting rid of the 1 in 100 inverted bullets, or the very rare failure to drop a bullet, that is challenging. Going from 98% sucessful, to truly flawless operation. What were the last little things you tweaked to get it there? Change in bullet type? A final tweak to the flipper “ramp”? Tipping the MBF back a bit more? Etc

Nope. Factory trigger with a sprinco trigger return spring is 3.75lbs and it shoots great as is. I did all the work myself. Trigger guard is undercut. Didn’t do anything to the beavertail area.

Bell? I hope you’re using the DAA style powder funnel which doesn’t actually bell the case mouth anymore... and you’re just using the term “bell” generically.

Agree with the others. Stock on pec, extending out into infinity directly below the eye on that side. Bring head down to proper cheek weld. Lean forward hard. Get low with bent knees. Stay there.

Why would you want a lower capacity .45 caliber handrifle with more expensive ammo?

@youngeyes that’s right. Every time I’ve flown AA with a gun I’ve gotten a big red “SEND TO BAGGAGE OFFICE” tag on my bag. However I’ve also gotten my bag flawlessly each time, and before the others hit the conveyor.

You’re in luck! You should be able to get one of the “Summer 2018” LimPros sometime around December of next year.

To shoot from appendix with the weapon you usually carry to defend yourself, you have to jump to USPSA. And even there you can’t use it in Production (SSP equivalent) or SingeStack (CDP equiv)... you have to shoot in Limited where any holster position is legal. I’m a huge fan of appendix carry and have run the carry gun in USPSA on a couple of occasions.

Beacuse it’s the new! Recoil Awesomeness system! Featuring 174% more marketing! ”This little steel coil spring actually compensates for the rotation of the Earth to make your bullets fly straighter, using patent-pending MadeItUp Tehchnology developed for NASA.” ?

I’ve had the same battery in my DPP for all of this season, and I leave it on in my holster, moving around on match day, for roughly 12 hours a month.

Pretty simple. I followed the advice of Max Leograndis (2x National champ) and Zack Smith, who has won a big match or two himself. 1) load like an AR, not a handgun. 2) big. Magwell. 3) use a long mag. 4) grip it like a beercan. Skip the “index finger down the front of a pistol mag” style nonsense. 5) keep the gun up and shouldered. Proof: You can’t hit the magwell with a pistol-style load if the gun is shouldered because of the awkward bend your weak wrist needs to make. So everyone takes the stock off their shoulder and tries to feed it like a giant pistol after rolling it sideways. Surprise, it’s big long and heavy. That makes moving it relatively slow. Here’s one of mine, a botched reload from my second time ever shooting PCC. Even this trainwreck of a reload is vastly quicker than what most are doing:

That’s a Titan hammer... (99% of the photos Google Images dredged up appeared to have a Delta installed) https://goo.gl/images/kzuk3X

Were both “required” and “no penalty” featured in the WRITTEN stage briefing? Just PCC. Not everybody else? On the grounds that they had a WSB that was contrary to the rules, I guess? It sounds like your locals need to learn to crush PCC reloads. They’re about as fast a handgun when done properly.

You and Sarge and sometimes myself frequently post more than five times per day.

They’re trying to reach 50 posts so they can buy and sell in the classifieds.

Holosun 510c

Sure they are. IFG is about to begin importing them again (although they’re taking their sweet time doing so.) EAA has nothing to do with the importation of this gun, so if you contacted them, that’s the answer you’ll get.

Walnut doesn’t get brass as shiny, but it gets it to a serviceable level of polished a whole lot faster. It’s also small enough you never have any caught in hollowpoint bullet tips, wedged down in the case, or in the primer flash holes. I prefer walnut over corn cob. A bit of NuFinish and a used dryer sheet to absorb the dust? Good to go. I typically only tumble brass for around 30 minutes.

No idea. Never done it!

If you order ammo from Precision Delta, you’re ordering from him. Make more sense now?

@gilliamjc forget everything everyone else is telling you about which gun is better. And just run the gun you like the best.
