Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I was getting artificially high/strange results until I started using an umbrella for shade. If that's not it you can try to run some factory ammo and check the results against published numbers for velocity.
  2. I used the Brazos spring with the same kit and it works with no issues. http://www.1911store.com/searspringbcg.aspx
  3. My STI Edge does not like the AA&A .40L. Failure to feeds and poor accuracy. Think what is happening is the bullet gets pushed back a little when hitting the feed ramp. Factory is accurate and runs ok but not 100%. MG bullets with 1.22 OAL runs with no issues.
  4. If you look on-line for the chip'd keys (Ebay is one source) they usually send the directions to program them. Not all cars are the same. Have done this with multiple cars and trucks for a fraction of the cost anyone will charge to do this for you. It's crazy that dealers and other shops get away with charging that kind of money.
  5. I know the feeling on having ammo problems before realizing i need to gage check ammo (IN match) And Kevin, I love how you and I seem to be going through the same thing right now, haha. Im about to start buying my parts to reload for 40 as well. I think I'm going to go the carbide G-RX die route and use it on my single stage press. Corey, I'd wait on that. Load with the Dillon dies first, see what happens. If they don't feed, then spend the money on the GRx die. Otherwise, you are throwing money at at a not yet existent problem. If you are shooting a gun with a tight chamber like an STI and you are using range brass or any kind of unknown brass you will need a U-die. This is a fact. You might get lucky and find a bunch of brass that works fine but eventually it will bite you. The die is cheap so save yourself the trouble of waiting.
  6. Quote from the 3-Gun Nation Facebook page: "Catch our new shows on VERSUS Mondays and Thursdays. 3 all new episodes set to begin airing November 15th, starting with the USPSA Multi-Gun event taking place prior to our championship."
  7. No fitting required but did change the sear spring to a Brazos BCG spring.
  8. Might want to consider a drop in trigger kit. I tried this kit with a 17lb main spring and it works great. Would guess 2-3lbs but have not measured it. http://shootersconne...Speed-P372.aspx
  9. How did it work out at Nationals? R, That's about the only stage that I did well on at Nationals... Came in a little lower than the results posted above 929, 933, 936 for a PF of 168.5 I also did some averages on my powder measure and it came in closer to 4.8gr of TG. Seems to be a good combination so going to stick with it.
  10. The title of Show 7 was USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals, but it was a re-run of SMM3G. I don't think it was your DVR. There was some error somewhere however. Same thing for the Thur. show. Anyone know what is going on?
  11. That would be great if you could actually shoot matches twice once for score and again after the match or the next day for practice but don't know where that would be allowed. Guess it would depend on the range and the club. I agree with using most of your ammo for matches if there is nothing you need to practice with live fire but there are a lot of skills that dry fire will not cover and taking on those skills in a match will not help you learn them. Don't know if I would call them fundamentals but things like how many rounds can you shoot at a 50yd target in 5 sec. and get all hits. Without experimenting with this in practice there is no way to know. There are tons of examples like this where you will only learn in live fire practice. If I had to put a % of rounds per skill level I would guess something like this: (Assumes you have an adequate practice area, Also assumes you shoot at least one match per month) Would be curious to see what everyone else would put as a % estimate. Maybe a poll would be good? Percentage of rounds used for practice D/C - 70-80% B - 40-50% A/M/GM - 20%
  12. My eye doctor had this big ugly set of glasses where he could change the lenses to different prescriptions as I was looking through my sites. I just picked the one I liked the best. My shooting eye was backed off about .25 if I remember right. Then had a pair of Rudy inserts made up like that and one regular so I can use the Rudy's for normal sun glasses as well. He also offered a 30 day trial period. It might be good to ask for this in case the first try doesn't work out.
  13. I built this plate rack using some 2x4's and spinners from https://www.metaltargets.com/ Would you be concerned shooting these at 10 yards with a .40?
  14. The issue with only shooting matches for me is you are in competition mode and you can't really practice skills under those conditions. Your subconscious is doing the shooting and you are along for the ride. In practice you can really work on weaknesses. I find myself making the same mistakes over and over again in matches if I don't figure it out in practice first. It's difficult to miss matches and practice more but I have come to the realization that it's necessary to make performance improvements.
  15. I set this stage up for practice because it covers some of my weaknesses (before reading this thread). Searched for something on this classifier after looking at the HF's. To get into the low 40% range (limited) you need a HF of ~3. I could probably practice this thing for weeks and not get into the 3's. Wish I could see the list of HF's for the classes. Would be interesting to see the bell curve on this one. Still a good setup for long distance, strong, and weak hand practice.
