Rifle, pistol this Sun. the 30th? Rd count, Start time?

Update, Remembered that I have a new primer bar. You said your new one fixed the problem. Guess what. It also fixed my problem. Like you said, you could not see any difference between the two. I have loaded 500 with no issues. With the new bar and the plate and bearing I bought on Ebay, Life is good. Thanks everybody for the help.

Any mark on the tip of a bullet will not effect the performance of that bullet enough to bother with. It is the BACK of the bullet that will effect accuracy enough to care about. The back is the last thing that touches the crown of the barrel. Deformed back of a bullet and or a bad crown WILL effect accuracy for sure. Hollow point bullets are day in day out more accurate because the back end does not come out of the mold last. The tip does so the back is just about perfect. Look at any Hollow point. It is not any where near as perfect looking as any Round nose. Really! You have other things going on that are effecting your accuracy problems. Too many to list but I will try. Gun, barrel, crown, bullet, load, shooter, grip, flinch, eyesight, etc.

Great idea, Ordered it. Thanks Received the extended primer slide and roller. It did not fix my problem but it did cure common other problems like a sticking slide that pops primers out of the primer cup when it "un sticks" itself on the way to the seating position. Neat gadget, very well made, perfect instructions. Glad I bought it. Time to call Dillon.

Great idea, Ordered it. Thanks

Sounds good, I will try that. Thanks

Thanks Jim, That was the first thing I did. Everything looks and acts okay. I don't get why it only does it sometimes. Like I said, maybe 10 out of 100. Frustrating!

Every once in a while primers are seating side ways in my 40 cal cases. This has happened before but rarely. Now about 10 out of 100 are doing this. Changed the plastic tip on the bottom of the feed tube. Nope. Everything looks like it is centered and is the right height above the sliding primer bar. Of course it never happens when I watch for it. This started to happen with no apparent changes with components. I use CCI and Federal primers and range brass. The cases with the bad primers I have de primed them, put them back in the machine and they load fine. Going to call Dillon but thought I would ask first on Enos.

Accident waiting to happen. Again! Proves nothing!

F_UCKING OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I meant to say for the long range stage. Because of the sun in the morning the targets are easy to see. Later, after being shot they completely disappear in the shadows.

Anybody know if the steel will be painted between squads?

I agree!!!!!!!! I love shooting mine in two and three gun matches.

Unless it is for real, at night and a guy with a bayonet is coming at you a few yards away. You better have your thumb in the right place on the enbloc and don't take the time to look thru the peep sight.

That's what I thought but hoped there was another way.

In this case after ditching the S.G. we are going downrange to finish the stage with rifle so they want it to be empty.

Forgot to say the gun must be completely un-loaded. Nothing in chamber, nothing in tube.

lets say I screwed up and I have 4 rds left in my Beretta. What is the fastest, safest way to dump it in the barrel? Other than shooting the 4 rds at the last target.

Then it was a match set up problem if they thought it was unsafe in my opinion. Just making a rule to make a stage safe is not how to make it safe. I guess I proved that even though my rifle was unloaded, pointing down range and technically I was in the box. With the "both feet in the box rule" it does not state that your feet had to be pointed downrange before loading. My point is you could be in the box with your feet and rifle pointing at the road while loading and be within the rule. Just saying Want to talk not safe. One stage had the shooter starting to the left in a box. After moving to the right to engage pistol targets the shooter went down range to engage long range targets from a log. Almost directly in line with the pistol shooter were the long range spotters and a bunch of people watching. Because of the angle of pistol targets the pistol was almost pointing in the direction of all the spotters and watchers. Cole, the owner saw that and moved everyone back. Very poor set up! Just heard that the 11th place tac ops. shooter got a gun bag for his efforts. Enough!

So, does the USCA rulebook define "in the box" as requiring both feet down inside the box in question? Obviously, those of us from a USPSA background, or used to any 3-Gun ruleset I can think of, tend to interpret "in the box" as meaning "not out of the box," and the situation as described would not only not be a DQ, it would not be a penalty and would generally earn a high five for a good, aggressive stage run. My thinking exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here we go, Took eight hrs. to shoot three stages first day. Second day was better? Started at 7:00 AM next day. Shot five stages in seven hours. Started next day at 11:00 AM. Finished last two stages at 2:30. Went to where the prize table was to be held. Was informed that two squads had not shot their last stage. Left at that point never to return. 18-1/2 hrs to shoot 10 stages. I have shot 3gun at Peacemaker many times. The place is awesome. They have always provided tarps to shield shooters from the sun and rain. Some stages had them for the RO,s. No problem with that. They deserved it. So did we. It was in the 85 to 95 degree's range at the match. They provided water, for the shooters, nothing else. RO's tried their best but the inconsistencies were very obvious. One example was allowing some squads to take a sight picture with your rifle from a roof top prop while others could not. Big time saver for the shooters allowed to do it. Oh, did I mention that I DQed on the second stage for having one foot in the shooting box while the other was in the air while I was loading my rifle?. I will say at this point that I knew you had to be in the box before I could load so It was my fault I DQ'ed. Technically I was in the box or at least I thought so. MD said it was a safety issue but had a hard time explaining that to me. My thinking and every person that knew about it thought it should have been a procedural penalty. It was a very long 2-1/2 days of picking up steel and taping targets for the squad I was in. Okay, I'm done. It's history.

Has anyone noticed that the shooter meeting, squad assignments and registration takes place on Fri. the 29th at 6:30 PM. We are supposed to start shooting on Fri. the 29th at 7:00 AM? At least that is what they say on the match web site.

I thought you did not like the Vortex reticle. At least that is what you said on another post. Or have you built up your arms to handle the extra 6 oz the Vortex weighs?
