i've been shooting scaled 1/3 and 1/4 targets at indoor range. its been a few months since i shot full size targets. for example shooting 1/3 scale target at at 3.33 yards (ish) to simulate 10 yards. 2.3 yards to simulate 7 yards 5 i've been shooting multiple drills for example, Mozambique (ish) drills at scaled targets today i shoot full size idpa targets (patched up throw aways) my times were approx 20% slower ?!. i expected my time to be closer to scaled practice targets, not considerably slower. even without timer you could tell the time difference. and to top off slower times...... less accuracy, more dropped shots....... anyone have any idea why the big difference? if my memory of geometry serves me the muzzle movement should be almost identical from scaled to full distance...... please advise......

TY. I was guessing 3.6. I don't notice the smell or smoke.... Plus I have have about 10 pounds of it left.......

anyone have any pet data with above i've got some 130 groovless flat points on the way hodgdon has it at 3.5-3.9

how did you get one so early? im not a fan of cutting springs..... the is nothing consistent i would try the cajun springs as mentioned above something doesn't sound right im running the 11.5 # and it sets off sb, cci, winchester, federal primers in a spo1 that i tuned up the 8.5# was way to light and had lots of light strikes i did have many light strike issues at first but i'm writing that off to break in/ poor reloads you will get better response from the cz gurus if you post in the cz section also call dave at cajun

i'm working my way through that mega thread!!! how did you deburr the extractor pocket? i don't have a stone that thin but could order one.... if I'm not mistaken the lifter in the M3K is different from M3000. what improvement in performance do you get with MOA lifter

Didi you have issues before changing out. I'm (internet) familiar with mod doesn't look too difficult..... i'm thinking taccom products since i really like their AR buffer parts and gas key on my AR. any pros/cons i also like the idea of a polymer follower. i've seen alot about nordic an moa..... the lower divisions are 8+1. I'm thinking +4 to make 8 +1. what went into decision process for mag tube legnth? will matches allow you to run greater capacity mag tube loaded to 8+1 for lower divisions? what and how are you using shell holders?

edit

My m3k is on its way. I'm new to semi auto shorty / 3G. Game.... What are you favorite / necessary mods? What DIY Have you done? I've got +4 extension, follower, match saver on my short list..... is there a huge difference between Nordic, moa, tac com tubes!

Is it loose with different headstamps? what is bullet dia? how much bell are you adding? never used expander? Could that be where error is coming from? i had one case do same last week. I'm using Dillon dies. I just dumped powder out and threw case away. im interested to find out where error is?

+1. For . RCA. Call tac com

Tax com buffer system both rifle and carbine legnth rubber city gas key, d Wilson mfgr. For bolt and bcg ross sculler muzzle brake ( largest part of perceived recoil equation) was working towards a budget build..... It holds it own wit big $$$$ rifles if I wanted to build another and I'd and I had unlimited funds...... I'd use same components.

I suggest you start reloading......sure, not part of you original question...... Especially for .223/5.56 in cost and quality. i just switched from 135 gr to 147... After 1500 rounds of 135. I could absolutely feel a difference, after a mag or 2 at new bullet my head sub consciously adapts to any slight differences. Will it make a difference in my scores and splits....... Not at the level I'm shooting. As as my skill level improved I feel that I know that I can shoot 115 to 147 gr bullets. With no change in score. No insult intended but with good form, sound fundamentals, and regular range time....buillet weight is no longer a factor.

Gun tec. M lok. $85. Light if full rail. It running with no complaints so far. I picked this for a budget ish build. There is a guy that sells blems.... If you can't find him pm me

Found one at LGS. Mk3 with fluted non threaded tac solutions barrel. Fiber optic frontsite, adjustable rear, one mag for sure, looks 90% or better... safe queen.... Not sure of any other custom work. Comes with shop warranty, no rail I saw it at closing. But if memory serves .... $315 plus tax and background...... ( no transfer fee) in think it's a steal $ wise? what say ye?

TY. All. Good info...

I handled a psa glock version.... Mag changes are STIFF,. Is there a work around?

i had my head wrapped around buying each individual component $$$$ i see that buying assemblies is way to go since these are pretty much for short game, i'm assuming barrel quality isn't so much a factor? if you see any deals in your surfing feel free to post or pm me thanks for the replies

I've built a few ar / m forgeries. Now I'm bit with the PCC bug. My preliminary research as build costing way more than my best .223 build !?! please post your build list, sources. Cost please while I'm primarily interested in a gound up build, I might entertain other affordable systems. Suggestions please

Tac com weigh .6 ounce ..... 1.2 ish since it's a 2 part..... No consideration for adjustable gas key?

I've read where it is a common practice to "thin" nu finish with mineral spirits. will naphtha serve same purpose?

http://rossmuzzlebrakes.com/index.html the site is crappy ... But call him.... Semi custom... Great price.. I have 2 of them.... I have yet to find one that shoots flatter its a bit blasty, but worth it i understand it's similar to the holland brake

this happened to my decocker .....

A friend has a stash of small primer .45 brass.... I like the idea of not changing primer bar and tube. I've not tested any nor ever shot any..... is there any change in load data due to small primer? or are there any other issues loading/ shooting small primer . 45

This doesn't look aligned properly.

Un install. Then re install... Sometimes the catch/latch doesn't always reinstall right.
