  1. Thanks, I will check them out.
  2. It is, I have read good and bad things about them. Thought I would give it a try.
  3. Anyone know how to order a Photoscrape funnel? I cannot find the website. I know Uniteck makes one but it is not polished properly. Thanks.
  4. I want to try a Photo scrape powder funnel but cannot find their website. Anyone know how to bring it up? I know that Uniteck makes one but it is not polished properly. Thanks
  5. Agree that JP makes good stuff, But a bare 4,000 rifle is ridicules when you can buy a store bought very reliable and competitive PCC for $2,500. I think the $2,500 price is also ridicules. As simple as they are I realize that many do not have the knowledge to build one. But if you can build one the knowledge how to do it is pretty standard and available. A very basic "10 barrel or 5" shrouded one, Orange 308 buffer spring, Blitz buffer, A good cheek weld stock, Hyper Fire or CMC trigger, handguard and pistol grip of choice. Any 9mm upper and lower, Red dot of choice, good Glock mags, factory or good reloads to give about 125 to 135 Power factor. $1,500 to $1,800 if you invest in a quality red dot. Now you have a very reliable PCC that if you do your part will double tap A's all day long. Spend the extra money on primers if you can find them. Just my opinion.
  6. Don't forget that how you hold the gun is very important. Sometimes more so than even with the best set up!
  7. What were you shooting before you bought this $4,000, not including an optic, wait for two years gun that was advertised to kick ass right out of the box. Sorry guy. I cannot see $4,000 when you can build a very reliable PCC for $1,500 set up the way you want it. I can double tap into an A zone up to 25 yd. under match conditions. I never win because I do not move well. Movement, stage planing, a reliable gun and set up is what wins matches.
  8. Same deal with the JP5, Depending on what ammo you are using you have to change locking blocks for $100 a pop to get the "feel" you want.
  9. Observations and questions, Through the years I have used RCBS, Redding, Dillon and Lee dies. They have all been good to me loading 9,40,45 and.223. The problem has always been the fact that all brands of brass are not the same length. Even the same head stamp brass will vary as much as .015 from each other. So what do you set up your crimp die to do? Go off the shortest brass or the longest. If you set it up for the .015 and then crimp a piece that is .015 shorter, you might have a problem gauging your finished rds. I have found that case gauges will show the rds. to be ok but checking them in the barrel you are using they might not plunk or spin. I have also found that before sizing and after sizing that most, not all brass will grow as much as. 010. Then after flaring will measure less that the stretched rd. I measure a bunch of my current brass, pick the middle measurement to set the crimp die and then barrel check the gun I am loading for. Depending on the gun barrel I can get away from most of the above problems. I do have a PCC with a picky chamber that requires a barrel check for sure. I think if for example you happen to pick the longest piece of brass you have by accident and set your die for that length, then crimp your shortest piece, you might not have enough crimp.
  10. Thanks. You are correct about the length of the brass. I have measured know once fired brass, same head stamp to be as much as .015 difference from each other. I have measured brass before sizing to grow in length up to .010 after sizing. You are also correct that it is a pain in the ass!!
  11. I seat 9mm rds. with a Lee 2in1 die and have the problem you describe. Any way to fix the problem? With my loading set up I have to crimp and seat in one station.
  12. Absolutely right on the money except for the spelling of the word "skills"
  13. Thanks, I like watching you kicking ass even though you shoot from the wrong side.
  14. Are you going to post your video of the Area 7 match? I look forward to them.
  15. That is the way I read it, Thanks
  16. Just read 5.2.1.7. I read it to say you have to be within 6 feet from the berm to take it out of the cart. Is a cart according to the rule the same as a wagon?
  17. I thought there was a USPSA rule that a un bagged, chamber flag inserted PCC in a cart had to be 6 feet or so, muzzle pointed at a side berm while waiting to be called to shoot. I cannot find the rule if any that says this is required.
  18. Follow up, I somehow called the wrong number for CMC? A few days later I realized that and called CMC. They are going to replace the trigger, no problem. As people have been saying, great customer service!
  19. I mentioned those changes to say in my opinion that they should already come on a expensive competition gun. Not that they would make the gun run better. But I do believe a good stock that balances a gun better. A better pistol grip that positions the trigger finger better. A 45 degree safety that comes off faster. As you say, better splits and accuracy with a better trigger. Do they make the gun run better, probably not but they sure make the gun perform better. That is why most serious competitors change them. That is how exactly.
