    So let’s say my ammo is 950 f/s at 50degree. How much would it slow down at 90?

    I just loaded 200 grain 40's, got 888 fps / 177 PF at 32* F.

    Same gun, same load would get me about a 170/172 at a summertime major match a few years back.

  2. I just loaded up my 40 major loads after a few years of shooting open.  I was surprised to see them at about 177 PF, on a 32* F day.

    Came here to "remember" if it was reverse temp sensitive. and now its coming back to me.

    I load them to make PF in the warm weather, when I would do most of my shooting ......

    Thank you for being here guys!

  3. Is there a list, or can we put one together for companies that load ammo to uspsa power factor levels.

    If you needed ammo in a pinch, instead of reloading it.

    I understand the process of becoming certified,

    I'm talking about 40 and 9 major or 9 about 130/5 instead of factorylevels.

    Yes.  Keep in mind you cannot switch back and forth during a match.  You have to declare before the match starts.  If you declared Major and then ran a stage with 9-10 the magazine you would be switched to minor for the entire match.

    for sure, there is no doubt for me that in certain high glare situations covering the front of the dot helps. One of our pits at nampa faces straight into the sun in the morning. It's very challenging to see much of anything without some way of reducing the glare. making a little sunshade out of tape also works, but doesn't seem to work any *better* than just covering the dot for that stage

     

     

    could be wrong, but, doesnt the gun need to remain the same throughout the entire match?

  6. I was once told to have a match slide stop and a practice one, or a major match one and an "all the other time" one .

    I had one snap on me at Area 5 years ago, but  it was on my final shot of a stage. 
    Used option 2 above for the 4/5 majors a year after that to minimize the potential damage done to an expensive match/trip.
