To follow up. Went out and poured a capful of N320 out of my open jug for folks who have never used it. Not sure what to say about others who use N320 and it is not green?
So is the dress white and gold or black and blue? That powder looks just like my jug of N320, graphite (grey).

How is it a slide lock problem when the followers on the mags are different and it works 100% with one and not the other?
DOH! posted before reading the rest of the thread.
The ledge on the slide stop that hits the step in the follower may extend too far into the magazine and hits the last round in the magazine because it's presented at a slightly different angle than the rounds stacked on top of it because it is resting directly on the follower.

Found one issue with my Priest. Borrowed two Atlas 126mm mags from a friend and interestingly the Priest locks back with a round in the mag. This happens both mags, every time, I can replicate with dummy rounds. Doesn't matter how many rounds I load the slide locks with 1 round in the mag. I am guessing its a follower problem with the Atlas followers in the Priest but I haven't explored that yet.
Borrow the slide stop from your friends gun and compare it to yours. If it fits in your Priest, see if it locks back with 1 round left in the mag.

Rowdy, have your friend contact IPSC Japan by emailing jpn@ipsc.org. That's the Japan IPSC contact listed on the https://www.ipsc.org/regions/ website.

I thought so too at first but the part he seemed to think was more strange the velocities didn't do that.
Probably is time for yhe marker. Good reason to use coated bullets.
Good reason to pick up one of the used LabRadar's being sold relatively cheap in the classified section as people buy the new hotness or buy the Garmin. My LabRadar has worked well for me and it doesn't care what type of bullets I'm using, or the orientation of the sun, wind, or phase of the moon.

What is the likelyhood that more powder got dropped into the hotter showing loads? I've initially had some issues with my dillion dumping a little more powder than needed
In that case you would have had to load the magazine in the reverse sequence to loading the rounds, ie last round out of the press, first round into the magazine. I would suspect the chrono before I would suspect the the gun or the press.

Awesome info, thanks guys.
What is everyone running for FCG pins? CMC? KNS? Factory?
Since the 15-22 has a poly receiver, it is thicker than a AR receiver. The standard pins in the soft poly receiver with a strong hammer spring wears the receiver holes fairly quickly.
KNS sells longer pins for the 15-22.

u catch 97% of any problems when u case gage.
97.34% of all statistics are made up.

Or he has yet to have a problem that he will admit to?
On the other hand I have a buddy that has constant ammo problems and swears he is using once fired brass, except I see him scrounging brass on every stage and after the match. I'm surprised he isn't using once fired bullets!

yeh i was waiting for your butt hurt..... was thinking of you recently... Started watching Topshot... Never watched it before... didnt have good internet.. so watching season 2, filmed 2011. please no spoilers... But the USPSA GM's SUCK ! Id put $1000 against any of them on an accuracy challenge...
Athena Lee Went 4 challenges and never hit a target... she cant shoot a 1911 with good sights
USPSA has notthing to do with shooting skill... run fast spray pray you win
Hell my wife watching show with me.. She has never shot a match...
Watching Chris Tilly... Wow he must miss fastSeriously? You're basing your judgement of USPSA GM's on a TV reality show? How about you watch a few Pro-Am match videos, you know par time falling steel matches where you're scored on how many steel you HIT in a short par time, with 10 round magazines instead of gimmicked shooting with weird guns that you get 3 sighting rounds at carnival targets.

haha, what a silly excuse for losing. unless you are truly disabled, running fast is far less important than shooting fast and accurately and transitioning fast.
when i watch people who complain about running, i usually find that they do *everything* slowly, and just aren’t very good at shooting.
when i watch people who win matches, i see that i can outrun many of them, and many of them are carrying lots of extra weight, but they *all* shoot at a very high level.
Yeah, I agree, it's really hard to outrun 0.7 second draws, .11 splits, .15 transitions and 95+% Alphas.

From what I'm reading here it seems like the smart move is to just unload at your car when no one is looking. Maybe you get caught and DQ'd. Or you ask someone to clear you and get DQ'd.
LOL!

LOL! First person here, who has NEVER been late to anything, raise your hand! Then slap yourself for lying!
I don't remember which match, maybe one of the old Friendship Classics in Norco. We were just about finished with our last shooter when Rob Leatham and co, who were in the squad after my squad showed up for their first stage of the day. Rob walks up "Ahh, right on schedule...LATE!" Everyone cracked up.

Sometimes, some occupations,
shi...stuff just isn't under your control about when or where you get off the job. Cut the guy some slack. Cold range or not, if he walked up to the RO while he was on the job with a loaded, concealed pistol while in mufti or in uniform, carried open, NOBODY would have told him to leave the range, it would have been perfectly OK. Nobody was in any more danger just because he was in the match instead of on duty.Nolan

My Samsung x cover cell phones have replaceable batteries, quicker to replace them than to recharge when needed.
Yeah, after years of iPhones, I haven't paid much attention to other brands, so "Never Mind".
I got a Labradar so I wouldn't have to lug so much stuff to the range and it's lightyears better than my old Pact Chrono, but I'll probably get a Garmin......so I won't have to lug so much stuff to the range.

I'm still on the fence concerning the Garmin Chrono ... The battery, though listed as rechargeable, is also listed as NOT replaceable. ALL batteries die at some point. I'm not sure I want to spend ~$600 on a unit that I might have to trash because I cannot replace the battery.
The non-replaceable battery may be the price of the small package size. I don't think there is a current production cell phone with a replaceable battery, but I could be wrong because I haven't really investigated.

Magazine springs are generally not brand specific.
Nordic Components sells excellent magazine springs. Cut to an uncompressed length 11 to 12 inches longer than your magazine tube.

Several years old. I used to shoot 3 gun. Ran about 1500 shells with no issues
How old is the magazine spring? Since you're only loading 2 and it's not feeding the last round, it sounds like the last round may be just dribbling onto the lifter. It may need a new magazine spring.

How does it feed with a full magazine?

I wonder how this will affect these businesses or should I say, how will these businesses affect USPSA's trademark application?

That looks like a Novak or Kensight rear sight. Does this look like the right size?

Get used to it. You can try different powders to try reducing it, but there will always be some.
This is my MPX. I'm using either N320 or N330 powder.

Not a Sig, but if you want a small pocket pistol, the Kahr P380 is Commiefornia approved. I bought one for my wife and liked it so much I bought one for myself. I only have a couple hundred rounds through each of them, but so far they have fed and shot everything included my reloads.
Next on my list is a 365....if I can find one in stock someplace!
