Using range brass, no sorting, lanolin type lube and a Dillon sizing die my reject rate is under 1% or less with the hundo.

Hello: JHP's are more accurate I have found and will feed just fine if the gun is built right. Thanks, Eric
I havent had any accuracy issues with RN bullets in the past, and the gun feeds JHPs fine. This more of a reloading equipment experiment/test.

PD and RMR have JHP's, but I don't know if they have RN's.
Thanks but I am looking specifically for RN.

Looking for sources for 124gr jacketed(NOT plated) round nose bullets with no exposed lead. I have found that Montana Gold does it, but what else is out there?

I have a quick question, I usually shoot 124gr MG JHP and I recently switched to Blue Bullets , 125gr round nose, to give them a try. After a practice session I noticed I had a lot of lead in the comp. The crimp on the round is very light, I'm using 4.2gr of N320 @1.130 and the PF is about 135-140.
My question is; is the comp leading normal and I just have to get use to it? I do not want a comp full of lead every time I shoot my GMR-15 and I am thinking of going back to my 124gr MG's to solve this problem.
Am I being to OCD???
In my experience with a few different JP barrels I found them to be a tight bore. I was getting a lot of comp leading with coated bullets and after recovering a few out of some snow I could see why. The barrel was really stripping the coating off more than some other barrels I have. I switched to jacketed bullets. FWIW I was using N320 and WSF at the time.

Carb cleaner is a much more aggressive cleaner, and has a tendency to remove paint type finishes and can melt plastic.
I find the brake cleaner to be plenty strong enough, without the worry of cooking something you dont want cooked.
There is nothing on my gun for the stuff to eat up. If its an issue throttle body cleaner for fuel injected cars works well and can be had in "plastic safe" flavor.
-
Whenever I get around to it, usually twice a year(I shoot 20-30K a year) I just hose the lower out with carb cleaner(not brake cleaner), blow it out with compressed air and lube the trigger, safety and take down pins. I prefer to use carb cleaner, because unlike brake clean carb clean normally has a bit of lube/corrosion inhibitor built in.

I bought the +10 with springs to add to a Glock 33 round magazine. So far I can only get 35 rounds into it after leaving it loaded for a week. I have filed the follower and bottom of the tube to make sure everything moves freely.
To me the spring looks really long but I don’t want to cut it off. Any suggestions?
For every glock mag I own with an extension on it I chamfer all the sharp edges on the follower, paying special attention to the lower edge on the rear of the follower. I also clear out any plastic molding flash inside the bottom of the magazine tube. I have put together about two dozen different generations and lengths using three or four different makes of extensions. I have no issues loading any of them to rated capacity. I did find with the TTI +10s out of the box with an untouched mag/follower they would hang up around round 35/36. Easy temp fix is just fill the mag til it hangs up, grip the mag in one hand with your thumb putting down pressure on the top round and smack the baseplate into the palm of your other hand. this will get the follower past the sticking point. Keep that thumb pressure applied and continue loading. If you do this enough times the follower will eventually wear down and the problem will go away.

well, eventually the other club members will get really old and lose interest in practicing, and then they'll turn to pcc just like everyone else.....
Whatever it takes, right?

be the solution. Put on a rifle match.
I dared the 1911 match organizer to hold a pcc match on the same stages the next day, and told him if he did, I would buy a pcc, shoot both matches, and help tear down. I still make fun of pcc-shooters, but now I almost am one, lol.
As a previous club BOD member and now 2yrs VP I have tried, but unfourtunatley the intrest within my small northern VT club doesnt seem to be there. Doesnt mean Im not going to try again this year

I would absolutely love to shoot some PCC only matches with USPSA rules. The reality is, at the moment, pretty much nation wide, the best game in town for someone who wants to run and gun with a rifle is at "normal" USPSA matches. That may change in the future, but for now us degenerate PCC shooters will have to continue to stink up "normal" USPSA matches.

Is there this much complaining about PCC in Steel Challenge?
I don’t remember ever hearing about how rimfire or PCC was so unfair to the rest of the Steel Challenge competitors.
I havent seen any. Maybe they realize its just another division and/or worrying about your own shooting is more important than what others are doing?

*SMH, why does it always seem to come up. Yes, its easier in a lot, if not most cases to place shots on target during a USPSA match with a rifle than it is a pistol. That does not equate to competing with a rifle being easier. Its all relative to the competition, in that division, on that day. Would I as a A class PCC shooter have an easier time competing against Max Leograndis(Nats champ) than any A class Open shooter would have against Max Michel or Eric G? All of the talk of its boring/lame/easier is so short sighted it makes my head spin.

I am starting to believe that reporting PCC results out as a separate USPSA match may be the best long term approach for allowing PCC and the other USPSA pistol divisions to coexist.
i shot PCC back in 2017 when it first started, really enjoyed it and learned a lot. It was a time when CO was ten rounds, and PCC helped me see faster, move faster, and learn a different approach to the game than Production. I stopped when I was that “proverbial” one classifier from GM, as I didn’t want a PCC classification to affect my pistol classifications.
Fast forward a few years, and PCC has been around long enough that you can see how it is impacting our sport. For some shooters, besides the seeing and moving faster part, a large appeal is that PCC allows them to finish higher overall in local matches. I get that at major matches, high overall is irrelevant, but at local matches there isn’t enough competition in each division, so most are duking it out for high overall or as high as you can be in overall match.
This is where the problem starts. Shooters that ordinarily would shoot a pistol, get pulled into PCC to finish higher, and stage designers can create stages that help or penalize PCC as a way of increasing or reducing the gap between PCC and pistol. This sets up conflict over stage design. But, the bigger problem for the long term health of our sport, is that many shooters are losing their pistol skills. Then when they try to start shooting a pistol again, they do so horribly they run back to their PCC. It is almost like them having to go through withdrawal from a drug addiction.
Now, if we reported PCC as a completely separate match, it would take away conflicts over PCC friendly/unfriendly stages, and eliminate the incentive of higher overall placement which causes our members to abandon the core of our sport — which is pistol skills. Long term, this seems like a way of allowing PCC to coexist with the other divisions, and preserve the core of our sport, which is shooting pistols.
Maybe you do not realize that "we", USPSA does NOT combine results and in fact separates them. Its a third party application that does this(Practiscore). There is nothing official about that applications combined results. If PS did not exist and we were only given the official results what would you be doing about the lack of competition in each division at locals? Do you think if PS did not exsist there would be a huge abandonment of the PCC division?

Correct me if I am wrong here on these few points. Im not talking about whats in the rules, just the reality on the ground of muzzle safety issues:
1:Safety wise there is no difference between a bagged PCC and a bagged handgun. We cant know if the shooter who just grabbed his bag out of their vehicle at the start of the day has a loaded firearm in there or not as they make their way to the safety table sweeping competitors and staff.
2:It is possible through natural match day body movements such as resetting the stage to sweep fellow competitors with both a holstered hand gun and a slung PCC. Vertically carted or bagged-on-the-ground, at the berm PCCs wont sweep anyone during these movements.
3: Through mechanical failure or improper trigger jobs, in a perfect storm scenario(loaded gun from the car) a handgun has a higher chance of discharging a round than a flagged PCC. While bagged and PCC unflagged the chances are the same.
4: Referencing #3 is easier on the whole for a handgun to discharge vs. a flagged PCC. Period.
As is was said before, emotion, not logic is forming most folks opinions about the real muzzle safety of handgun vs. PCC. Its not a coincidence that most that claim these PCC muzzle dangers are almost always those that dont feel the divisions belongs in the sport. When you are grasping at straws, any straw will do I guess...

Good question.
I've never seen PCC without some sort of handguard/forestock. What does such a thing look like?
Ive seen pics of folks running the taccom aluminum barrel setup with no handguard on it.
-
I bought one to check out. One look at the flexible plastic "ejector" and I was like "nope". One missed reload, one drop at the right angle and that thing is done for.

The WSB could simply say "holding PCC by handguard in either hand." Then it is up to the competitor to carry it in their weak hand if they choose to.
What do you do with a PCC shooter whos gun has no handguard?

in my experience A DAA magnet will hold Glock mags pretty well up to about 25rd(if that) capacity, any more and it seems to be too much weight for moving around.
