[New Benelli M2 3gun]

Anyone else looking to purchase the new M2?

 

 

 

[Pmag jam]

As others mentioned, if this was a gen2 pmag and you over inserted, that’s the issue.

 

use gen3 pmags and your issue is solved.

[par time how to work with it?]

Count the number of targets (paper or otherwise), par time by count of targets. That's the maximum amount of time you can spend on each target, not including movement.

 

OR, count arrays and the amount of time you need to get to the next array. Subtract dwell time (time to next target array) from par time, then divide by array count. This is the maximum amount of time you can spend at each array.

 

Now decide which array or which receives more attention if you can't run the the COF in par time.

[Left handed mag release technique]

In the case where you have an ambi-mag release, and you can reach said release with your thumb, that's your best option.

 

However, lefties are not always afforded an ambi release on every firearm.

 

Have you tried using your middle finger to activate the mag release?

 

I had to change my method due to a thumb injury and this works great for me.

[Benelli M2 Speed Ghost Loading]

I want to know how you got a M2speed! As far as I understand it, these are unobtainable in the States.

[Chrono'd my reloads, am I doing myself a disjustice at 207PF?]

So my rounds can go as slow as 544fps?

[Chrono'd my reloads, am I doing myself a disjustice at 207PF?]

I've always been of the mind to practice what you shoot and shoot what you practice. Meaning, I don't shoot powder puff bunny fart loads in practice and full power loads in reality.

With that said my chrono'd reloads calculated out to a power factor of 207,000.

SSP is 165,000 min.

Is this too hot?

230g 45acp

[-1 Points down = 1 second?]

I'm ok with the new rules of 1 sec penalty for each point down, but to say that's it's because of math is an insult.

Everyone knows practiscore and uberscoremaster are very capable of doing math without errors.

To expand on the rules, any hit to the 0 or 1 zone on a non-threat should result in a match DQ.

[Loading to Division Capacity]

So what happens when you cannot physically fit a fully loaded 10 round mag in the gun with 1 in the pipe?

In CA, many loaded factory 10 round glock mags will not seat in the magwell.

So should these competitors be charged with a PE for following state laws?

[Spinner SketchUP]

Care to share?

[Spinner SketchUP]

You mean the end over end spinner?

You could make one really fast.

[switched 550 to 650 aint no faster]

Add a case feeder and a bullet feeder and you'll knock out 1000/hr+

[1200 trimmer on my 650 or 1050]

Correct. Separate steps.

[How do you reload .223/5.56 on a progressive press?]

Any benefit to trim on the 650?

[1200 trimmer on my 650 or 1050]

Any reason I could not mount the trimmer to my 1050?

[Puppy Names]

Deeogee

How about a pic of said puppy?

[Which one to keep. SLP or M1 tactical]

Good lord I'm sure this question has been beat to death, or... maybe not.

I now am the proud owner of 3 of the finest shotguns in the world and I "need" to make a decision on which one to offload. So, here's where I ask my forum buddies and ladies to voice their opinion on which one to offload.

1 - SLP MK1 factory new.

2 - M1S90 tactical w/pistol grip & 2 shot extension, chokes and paperwork.

3 - M1S90 rifle sight w/PG and factory rifle stock, 2 shot extension, all chokes, paperwork, factory box and gray carry case.

#3 was my first autoloader and the mossberg 590 is staying as the HD shotgun.

#2 & #1 were purchased within 1 week of each other and I have to say I like BOTH. The FN is just stupid accurate, much easier to load and has a great sighting system. The M1 is extremely light and agile, the included ghost ring sights are nice for slugging it out.

So am I making the right choice by keeping #1 and 2 and selling #3?

What say you...

[Resizing 40 glocked brass]

What is the best way to go for resizing .40 glocked brass bulge in the LNL AP. I have been reading about putting the EGW U die in station #2. Been searching, but haven't found the answer that I need.

I run a Dillon 650 but the machine is not the question. For a long time, I had the "bulge" in my 40 and 9mm brass from my Glocks. My buddy recommended the EGW undersizing dies to eliminate this issue, but I ignored him and just adjusted my resizing die/crimp. Although it was better, I would occasionally get a round that would not chamber.

One day, an add was placed in the online community for a ERW 40S&W die and it was really inexpensive and the guy shipped for free. I thought, why the heck not...

In the end, I was a moron for not listening to my buddy and the ERW U 40S&W fixed all my issues with the "bulge". Had I done this much earlier, I would have eliminated the issues long ago.

Now my crimp is not nearly as hard and I never have to SAMMI case gauge my rounds. All I do is make sure there are no flipped primers.

BTW, my ERW U is in station 1. I have destroyed a few brass, but they were so badly crushed to begin with I should have culled them out before loading.

[Anyone shoot a compact in IDPA?]

Does anyone really want to shoot their concealed carry weapon that is a compact but doesn't because Glock 34 size weapons are in the same class? An alternative would be to have a division within each class for shorter than 4" barrels and one for 4" and larger barrels. If I forget about competition completely, then size doesn't matter of course and you shoot what you want to shoot. I do shoot the same pistol type and trigger in IDPA that I conceal everyday for carry, so it is very good practice for CC, even if size is different between them.

I don't expect any change in the current IDPA rules and divisions (I think it works great as is), just wondering if anyone wanted to shoot their concealed carry weapons in IDPA but doesn't because larger weapons are in the same class as the small ones. Of course, the upside is that 5 divisions keeps it very simple and keeps the gamers out.

I shoot an all stock G23 and reguarly beat members with G34's and G35's. It's all about what you get out if IDPA, not what kind of gun you put in it.

[Steyr M-a1]

I used my M40A1 in IDPA comp recently and loved the performance. The barrel actually sits lower in the hand than a glock.

Pro - Inexpensive, shoots very well, low barrel axis

Con - Trigger reset, no aftermarket support.

Extractor problem can be fixed, trigger reset as well.

[What does 'Milking the Grip' mean?]

Agreed. I'm still trying not to "milk" the grip, but I can tell when I've done it as the round ends up low/left. I've tried relaxing my strong hand, gripping harder with my weak hand, but honestly that doesn't work for me.

I finally got to a 80% grip on both hands and that works great for me. I was told to think of it as a "FIRM" handshake.

[Electronic Ear protection]

Add another +1 for the Peltor Tac6 behind the head. Great for those times you need to wear a hat.

[Where has all the Ebay parts gone?]

There is a new auction site for reloading specifically

http://www.reloadersauction.com/index.php

I've bookmarked it myself.

[Anyone use one of those gyroflex balls to build up hand strength?]

I use one as well. 5 minutes each hand every other day did wonders for my grip. I noticed a huge improvement when doing strong/weak hand strings.

[Why is my 650 doing this to me?]

Just got off the phone with Dillon. They are sending a replacement small primer pin and wheel.

Thank you Dillon!
