i just ordered a choate +5 tube from midway. it says designed as a 10round extension, the spring may work if not ill get one from brownells. i see what you mean on those dimples ill knock em down with a file. i figure i could put a couple dollars into a $5 dollar shot gun. Thanks for the help Andy

cool that was the info i was looking for, one question, when you say dimples what exactly do you mean? the little tangs inside the tube that hold the retainer. do you have to file them out so shells will clear? i would like to find a shorter barrel for it also as mine is the 28" version. the only thing i can think of call H&R to see if they will sell me a shorter one as i would like to keep the longer one too.

I was fortunate enough to win a H&R pardner 12gauge pump shot gun. It has a 5 round mag capacity. I havent been able to find a mag extension tube made for this gun. Does anyone know if one made for another brand will fit? It is a decent gun especially for the price and would like to get it to hold 8 or so. Thanks, Andy

Here is my springfield loaded .40, I had a little work done by springfield and just put on the miltac g10 grips.

Regardless of the sizing die you use, you must test to see if there is enough neck tension to prevent bullet setback. Load a round, measure it carefully, and then press the bullet tip of the loaded round against a flat surface. Not hard enough to deform the bullet, though. Remeasure the OAL to be sure the bullet has not moved back into the case. As has already been stated emphatically, ANY bullet setback can cause major issues with these loads. now i see what you mean by setback. originally i thought it was the round not going in the barrel far enough due to sizing of the case. thanks for the lesson

I dont think egw makes a die for the square deal b. i will get some glock brass and see if it resizes it properly.

guys that are running clays what is your recipe. how many grains needed and how long to make major with a 180 grain bullet?

I just purchased my second square deal b and setting it up in .40, i use clays for .45 already and not only like it have a large quantity at hand. I would like to use clays to load .40 i have read that the pressures to make major with clays in .40 can be high. Will i run into any saftey issues runing the factory springfield armory barrel in my singlestack. i do not want to risk an exsplosion?

excellent idea.

Thats the info i was looking for, I did get the lar-15. looks like it will be .223

Hey guys, I just purchased a RRA stripped lower. I plan to build my first rifle off of this. I have a few questions before i start to buy parts. Im interested in heavy metal 3 gun. This would require 308 or larger caliber. Am i correct or can i only use this lower for .223, or is there a 308 upper out there that this receiver will accept? I am not looking to spend a fortune. However I dont mind spending the money on quality parts that i will not outgrow. I already have the RRA 2 stage trigger and lower parts kit in mind. Also it seems alot of guys prefer the ACE or a M16 style fixed stock. Im looking for a great functional rifle and not too worried about having the coolest looking ar out there. I want it to fit me well and shoot the same. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, also if there is anything i should look out for as far as compatability it would deffinetly help a begginer. Thanks, Andy

I had a great time at this match also, Thanks to the Ro and schutlz who put on some very fun stages my favorite stage had to be the bridge also. not often your get elevated like that.

i may have to try these in my new .40 the mecgear that came with it stove piped on me today at the range

cool guys thanks for the info. Limited 10 may be a good place to start also as major/minor is available.

A friend of mine has an xd 45 service model 4". he is just getting into uspsa production division and is looking for a good belt mount holster as the one that came with the xd is subpar. what would be a good choice? if possible one that would allow use with the 4" as well as the tactical 5" as he plans to pick up a tactical down the road. any suggestions would be great. Thanks, Andy
