Looks for Target (4/11)

I don't deny It was fun. Gets to you when you drop 2-3 speed loaders a stage. Even ran a Limited Para 16-40 for a while and managed to drop 4 mags on 1 stage. Just got to be time to do something else so I retired and joined a shotgun club for old guys. I've found the people in shooting sports are some of the nicest you'll ever meet and the older we get the easier we are to get along with. Seems the ego and competitive nature of some people softens with age.

Figgers! Stay out of a game too long, stop paying attention and the game will change. Agent Orange taking my hands out of play and liking the big hole lotta noise kind of shooting took all the fun out for me so I dropped out before the 9's took over. Never knew the 627 / 929 were N frame. Thanks. That's what I was trying to understand.

I made it to 70 and B class with an N frame 625 Smith' 45 ACP before Agent Orange took my hands out of play and the "little" guns were allowed. Those 2 took all the fun out for me. I now do shotgun sports; only 2 shots in a row, bigger ammo for clumsy hands and no pressure for speed reloads but I'm still shooting at 74. Molon Labe'

Oooops! Too late for the shotgun sports too. Biggest issue for us is still primers. My old guy sporting clays, trap, etc shotgun clubber buddies (me too) used to go thru 200-250 rounds a week on a light week. Not no more! Even the cheapest "target" loads have doubled in price to $90+ a case of 10 boxes. I shoot mostly 28 gauge to save on components but still need primers for every shot. BUMMER!

I understand the factor of higher round count per (re) load. My question is why the oversize N frame? 9MM recoil in a K frame ain't all that scary. Is that all he has or can get? Not a challenge, just curious why the overkill.
-
Being the proud owner of a competition grade 45 ACP 625 I'm curious why you'd want an N frame 9MM. I'd think a K or L frame would be better suited or even the new Ruger GP. Or have I misunderstood what you're trying to do?

Grit your teeth. The prices are absurd!

Ahoy Bird,
Are you the friend to Kevin that I sold my Para 16-40 to? I need him to contact me as I found some support stuff for the Para I'd like to give him. I cleaned out my delete folder a while back and that information is now living in the ether belt. Thanks in advance.

Ahoy Bird,
Haven't been here myself for a long time. Ran into a buzz saw of medical issues that I won't bore you with. Anyway, I found a few small original parts for the Para I have no need for; best of which is a pair of replacement springs for the Aftec extractor. Send me a mailing address to 45ron40@gmail.com and I'll be happy to send them along.
I trust the Para is providing you as much enjoyment as it did for me. I was knocking on the A class door before I got seduced by revolvers. Still have the 625 Performance Center that took me into A class. Had Randy at Apex do his competition trigger / hammer job ( 5 lb DA pull) and several other upgrades. Top of the revo food chain before they allowed the "little" guns. Also still have about 1200 loaded rounds w/ pre flattened Federal primers to get 100% ignition. Ah, the good old days. Hero to zero in one stroke of the pen. If you know of somebody interested in an IDPA tool, let me know.
Thx,
Ron Moore

WOW! My fat fingers screwed that up. To continue, I added a Lee factory crimp die to the sequence and had no further troubles. Had to run them thru a single stage press. Kind of a pain but stopped the problem cold. Good luck. Have you encountered cylinder skip yet? I learned a whole chapter on that problem.
-
I'm a bit late to this party but may have some insight. Myn 625 had one cylinder charge hole just a hair underesize. Ran a chamber reamer (rented from a place in Idaho I think) thru all 6 and added a Lee factory cerimp die to the load se

I tumble clean first, then spray some one shot on a terry towel, dump on the brass, close up both ends with my hands and do a "shoeshine" rocking motion for a few minutes. Run them thru my Dillon 550B w/ case and bullet feeders and done. Never found a need to clean AFTER loading but it's easy enough to do the same shoeshine trick with a clean terry towel. Just depends on how anal you are.

Ahoy Nik,
I'm trying to find a mod that can take down ALL my for sale items. Many have been sold. I also need to reprice several items so I'd like to start w/ a blank page.
Thx,
Ron Moore

How do I delete items in the classified section that have been sold?

I just used skate board tape cut to size and burnished the whole surface with an old 9/16 socket on an extension for leverage to knock off the high stuff. Worked perfectly and no longer tore up my hands.
-
I had a bullet set back issue with my 625 revo and 230 gr FMJ bullets. Got a Lee Factory Crimp die and no longer had the problem. Couldn't say about resizing cast bullets or other crimp dies.
