Yea but extra hole will go to the Mr Bulletfeeder.

50/50 mix of both is what I use, with a little polish it comes out really shiny!!

Have been using a 550 for close to 10 years and have been very happy with it. I am shooting more and more these days and I decided that I needed more production out of my press. I have ordered an XL 650 with case feeder and Mr Bulletfeeder so hopefully I can really pound out some .45 now in less time. Reloading has always been a means to an end to shoot and not a hobby per say. I am excited about being able to crank out good rounds faster and spend less time at the bench. Anyways I have all my dies from my 550 which will fit in the 650 but I was wondering if it's worth it to get a seat/crimp die so I can put a put a powder measure station in, or just stick with what I have and not use the powder measure station? With the auto indexing it should really reduce the chance of double charges. I plan on using my 550 to load out .308 and .223 now. I don't think I need to do anything to it to be able to do rifle right?

Do you guys shoot a specific weight bullett to make it match up with the reticle or is there some way to allow it to adjust for any weight bullett. I am very new to the rifle shooting trying to figure it all out, ballistic programs, and reticles.. It really can make your head spin with you are starting out

Figures that it's not listed anymore, i just ordered mine.. Also anyone else notice the price increase??

I think thats the point some people are trying to make though, does the speed of USPSA and the high speed guns... Make it harder for you to transition to a "normal" type gun? I am sure Chris T doesn't carry his open gun when he goes to the bad part of town. Is the speed and tricked out guns actually hurting us?

You know what, I agree I wouldn't mind seeing the classifier stages changed too. I didn't even think of this but when you mentioned it.. yea.. I'd like to see a change. I made master last year, I don't really care one way or another about a GM class. I try my best and can be competitive most days, at the end of the day I have always been the kind of guy who wants to win when i go out there and have always felt that I just need to step it up to beat some of the better shooters out there. That said, it's hard to compete with the top talent, who shoot multiple times a week, and or work in the business. I work in IT and can't exactly dedicate the time they do at getting better. Is that an excuse? no.. I am not sure if i triple my training time I can compete with Sevigny, but I do feel I would be a lot closer..Is what it is i guess, but i dont thing a GM class would fix anything, or that anything needs fixing. I can think of multiple things that need fixing the classes aren't one of them.

It's been a little while since i've needed to get more brass.. I was wondering where you guys are getting your once fired brass from? Looking for .45 specifically

It is hard to change it, and on the move in the middle of the match I bet it would be even harder. Mine has run good so far, except a problem with the illumination turned off during a match..I took the cap off put it back on and it seems ok now.. We will see going forward. I like the illumination of it a lot though..

We practice by shooting stages almost as good during the monthly matches. Delta is ready when you are!

I am waiting too. I grew up a few miles from the range. I'd like to go and visit with the family and shoot the match.

Are you guys using a 100 or 200 yard zero with this scope? If 200 you are using the 200 yard dot right?

I just got mine in and boy am i impressed. I can't wait to mount it and try it out. My new lower should be here tomorrow as well as the larue mount. The glass is really clear and i think it should be fine for the up close hoser stages as well as the longer ones.. great scope.. thanks for all the advice!!

No worries I just ordered from midway.. Just about the same price with my dealer discount.. This is the last time i post in this forum.. I can't afford to post more.. SWFA said 2-3 weeks.. I wasn't hearing that noise....

this isn't illuminated though right? I just called they said they didn't have any....

I got the same email.. Ticks me off too, because I called this morning to change the shipping method and they told me it had already been packed and processed for shipping. So, then I call back just now and they tell me that it has shipped. So, I ask why I got this message? The guy says, I am not sure but your order has been shipped. So I ask, how do you know if you don't even know who I am? After a few moments of silence, he asks for my order number... I tell him and he says, "Oh. Your order is on back order." Well, I just ordered it from Whittakers per Chris' post. I went ahead and got the illuminated one. I had to pay $10.00 more for using a credit card. At least I know they had it because the lady said she was looking right at it. I have done many $1000's of dollars worth of business with SWFA (I bought 100 Leupold Scopes for the Darwin Foundation in Ecuador through them several years ago, not to mention my own personal scopes) without a single issue. This ticks me off! You got the same one the XTR from this other guy? I might call them too then.

Well I just got the we regret to inform you that your order is backordered email!!

Join the club. I'm officially blaming Jack Suber for doing a gmail hypnosis thing... at least that's the story I'm telling my wife. I ordered mine this morning too. Oh yeah, right! Weren't you the one that told me to take a look at these in the first place? Yeah well we can both sit in the room at GA Sectional eating PB&J's wishing we were out with everyone else eating steak yelling "HEY ACHMED!! I'M A COUGAR DURKA DURKA ROWR!!!" out the window! Oh shoot you guys are right around the corner from me too. I am in Atlanta.. We need to hook up and shoot these babies.. My rifle should be in this week too..

Do it for the kids.. I love it!!!!!

Join the club. I'm officially blaming Jack Suber for doing a gmail hypnosis thing... at least that's the story I'm telling my wife. I ordered mine this morning too. Great which means one of us will not get one because they are out of stock.. I am blaming that on you guys as well... I also blame Jack for spending my money, and to a lesser extent Chris.

I hate you guys!!! I ordered one too. Along with the larue mount that better cook me breakfast this weekend... I need another job!

OK so thats the euro diamond not the xtr-14 What the heck is thing hanging off it? Will it take a few seconds off my score??

What are you guys mouting these babies on the larue spr I had kind of taken for granted that I would use the SPR until i saw the price 219 seems awfully steep for a small chunk of metal.. Now I have to go look at the euro diamond. See what thats all about. The one I saw today came with mounts. Some pretty hefty looking mounts, already on the tube. Each side of the ring had 3 hex screws on it....I wouldn't worry about those suckers breaking. When I looked at them on SWFA, the version with the fast fire has the rings included in the pic. The plain version does not. So, I am assuming the rings come only with the XTR and FastFire combo. The only problem it the fastfire puts you in open division and I plan on shooting in tactical...

I am not sure how worthwhile it is to look for that reticle. I read that it was calibrated with a certain grain weight and everything. I get the feeling that if you use any other type of ammo that it wasn't calibrated with you will be off a bit.. If I am wrong feel free to correct me.. If you load your own you can tune the load to the reticle. I think the reticle is for a 62 grn bullet traveling @ X feet per second. I can look if you want me to. Chris C. You're costing me a fortune. 215 for the spr-e and now another 200 something for reloading dies.. I've already bought a stake in freddie mac, fannie mae, and AIG this month there is only so much to go around I think your right though I remember seeing the 62 gr thing now that you mention it.
