  1. I was impressed with ATP Gunshop and Range near Charleston, SC: http://www.atpguns.com/

    They had a lot of stock and they had a pretty neat rental arrangement. For $5 or $10 you could shoot any of their rental guns and come back and trade for a different one whenever you wanted as many times as you wanted. I have suggested to several people to go there to try out several guns when they didn't know what they wanted.

  2. On the second ass through the press, in Station 1 I have a neck sizing die which also has a depriming pin. The neck sizing die goes inside the case to make surethe mouth is of sufficient size and not dented in at all. The depriming pin ensuresthat the flash hole is clear of (usually corn cobb media) anything.

    Even with that, I still have to hold the bullet on top of the case and ride it upward until it has entered the seating die.

  3. I would try the easiest thing first. Is the magazine clean and the spring strong? Eliminate any possible error caused by that.

    Do they jam if you cycle them through by hand?

    I had bad luck (in .38 Special) trying to seat and crimp on the same die. It resulted in a bulge just below the mouth of the case. I doubt it would be enough to hang up on the feed ramp but it is worth checking. I bought another crimp die and just used the first one to seat and the second one to crimp.

    I also have had bad luck crimping too much with plated bullets. For plated I prefer to just get rid of whatever belling I did and bring the case back to straight.

  4. After a match one day several of us threw a dollar in the pot and took 50 yard unsupported head shots at an IDPA sized steel target with the hinged head that knocks over. 3 or 4 of us made the first round, 2 of us made the second round, we both missed the 3rd round, then I made it in the 4th round. So, 3 out of 4 head shots at 50 yards with an M&P40.

  5. I, too, went through that for 6 years. I wish you and your wife well. Find something or things to keep her and your focus. Anything is better than sitting around thinking about the possibilities of what could go wrong.

  6. 10.2.2 A competitor who fails to comply with a procedure specified in the

    written stage briefing will incur one procedural penalty for each occurrence.

    However, if a competitor has gained a significant advantage during

    non-compliance, the competitor may be assessed one procedural

    penalty for each shot fired, instead of a single penalty (e.g. firing multiple

    shots contrary to the required position or stance). Do not apply

    two different penalties for the same offense, (e.g. not firing the required

    rounds in a Virginia Count stage; competitor gets a miss and no procedural).

    10.2.2.1 Procedural penalties for failure to comply with stage procedures

    do not apply to the number of shots fired. Penalties for firing

    insufficient or additional shots is addressed in other rules and

    must not be penalized under the provisions of 10.2.2.

  7. Have no fear, folks. Our engineers are working feverishly to complete the finishing touches on TroyMobile2011.

    **Please note this is NOT the finished product. They still have to affix the training wheels.

    That's a lot of glass. Are you sure it is Troy-Proof?

  8. The 2005 rule book states you don't need to use concealment:

    CoF 13. Use concealment for scenario stages when appropriate. Exception: Police or military officers when using actual duty gear.

    It does not specify that you must be active.

    As for equipment:

    Exception – Police or military officers may use their duty rig, but ALL retention features of the holster MUST be used and all belt equipment (mace, handcuffs, etc.) must be present.
