  1. 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 :rolleyes: ) while loading.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Thanks for the warm welcome Pat! :cheers: I will have to keep it in mind. Would be nice if it was during the winter months though!! ;)

    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.

  5. Please let me know how the Metrologic scanner issue works out. The only two barcodes we have tested with are the two listed on the EzWinScore page (Acan and Litel LC-80).

    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

  6. 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.
