  1. Me too. Seems to happen when case hangs on powder die and I not so gently bring the handle up/plunger down. If I'm careful when backing the powder die out of the case, there's less chance of a seismic event to make the primer hop out of the cup, FWIW.
  2. While reading this thread a popup appeared from Apple to upgrade QuickTime & ITunes to v7.6.1.
  3. "....another department in the state has an actual shooting team sponsored by the department..." If that's the team I'm thinking of, they went to Area 2 in crew-cab pickup marked unit, so that's pretty good department backing.
  4. Check out Larry H. at next weeks match. He beat you to it by about 4 weeks.
  5. I've noticed (primarily with .45ACP, but also with .38Super) that different brands have a different feel when going through my 550, so I sort for consistency - to more readily detect anomalies (haven't use that word in a long time ) while loading.
  6. When it's a lost brass match I use the oldest brass that still passes my QC. It's cleaned, sized, decapped and inspected seperately before it goes into batches for loading.
  7. V3.03 is available on USPSA website > Additional Content > EZWin Score Support - since 1/28 IIRC.
  8. Right on! Happy Birthday Scout. Hope to see you (and Trapr) at Handgunner this year.
  9. With my 550 I load slow enough for a visual check as the primers are delivered, so I can correct primer orientation before it gets seated. Do occasionally have to clean the path and the bottom of the plastic cover so that small Winchester primers don't jam (double stack like 38Super in a magazine) just before dropping into the tube. Also sprayed a light amount of MagSlick dry lube on last couple inches of the primer track.
  10. Good stages, good match. Club startup issues seemed to only minor. Good luck moving forward. We will be back from time to time.
  11. +1,000,000 Great article. The plain English picture.
  12. Excel 2007. Under SAVE AS I found an option to get a plugin for PDF/XPS file types. Downloaded and installed. PDF file looked normal - no black background.
  13. It's all about control. You control the gun, rather than the gun controlling you. To borrow from my instrument flight training many years ago, the pilot needs to be ahead of the airplane, anticipating the next required action, rather than playing catch-up. For shooting, am I done with this target? Yes, get my eyes to the spot on the next target so you KNOW where the gun has to be.
  14. I've use Precision Bullets baked on moly coated 200 and 230's in my Colt 1991A1 with no issues. Several other local shooters swear by them in their favorite caliber/weight.
  15. Don't forget Scottsdale Gun Club for some indoor matches, and Scottsdale is also Dillon's base. Rio Salado is where the Matt Burkett DVD's were filmed - at least for pistol, including IPSC Strategies.
  16. Rocket, I think you might have some unrealistic expectations of what winter is in northern New Mexico. A big match wouldn't be very pleasant with the cold, wind, and snow we get. Lots of tourists come through expecting the Phoenix/Tuscon climate and are very surprised. Ski season has been pretty good this year.

    The First 48

    Things came together nicely. Congrats. Has the trial been held?
  18. The Metrologic scanner is good. The problem was print quality on my inkjet printer that was at the end of life on the black ink cartridge. Wide bars were running together, which wasn't obvious until I enlarged the image 200%. A change of ink cartridges (HP57) cured that. Metrologic tech support has been very helpful. I bought my scanner at Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?...N82E16838130026
  19. Are you at the SHOT Show?
  20. EZWin Score 3.03 now available from USPSA website. Installed and created a barcoded label sample to test. My scanner (Metrologic 5145 Eclipse) can read the USPSATEST sample, but doesn't recognize the barcode on the labels, using the same IDAutomation font. Will submit fax of my samples to Metrologic support for analysis.
  21. Does it have something to do with snakes in the range bag??
  22. Palm Treo, available from most cell carriers (smartphone category). Availabl in models wih Oalm OS or Microsoft Windows Mobile. Pick your favorite.
  23. I have the Eagle 6.0. The 6" reverse plug is the adaptor to use your choice of 5" recoil springs
  24. FWIW, the Dillon catalog description (Feb 2008, p.35) for the Roller Handle does not have any model specific part numbers. To me that implies they are interchangeable.
