It's funny. This is such a community, you can say you bought them from "Chuck", and expect folks to know who that is! Who's Chuck (website)?

OK, so who has the best delivered price for bullets for .40 S&W? I'm getting a new gun, and will need bullets. I don't even know what weight to buy yet. What's the best source for cast bullets?

Range bag - A backpack/bookbag that I bought on clearance after shool starts for kids. It's well made, has several padded compartments, and can be carried over one shoulder or both. Brass bag - The backpack has a mesh front compartment that is perfect for holding brass, while allowing the dirst/sand to fall out of the mesh. Hearing protection - Regular earmuffs Eye protection - Regular clear safety glasses. Safety glasses aren't for looking cool, they're for eye protection. For your long-reach problem, get glasses that have adjustable-length arms, like these: (99% UV protection, anti-fog, ANSI Z87.1-1989 and CSA Z94.3, MADE IN US) (And only cost $3!)(Buy a few pairs. take the money saved and buy more ammo) http://www2.northerntool.com/safety/eyeware/item-174634.htm I store my glasses in an old sock, when not in use. Keeps them scratch-free. Call me cheap, but all the items you are looking for cost me less than $25!

Good shooting, though!

I realize this thread was dragged back from the past, and the case we're referring to happened after this thread was started..... Google "David Olofson". He had an AR that doubled (malfunction) at a range, and went to jail for 30 months for it.

Congrats! Did you get the results while you were still at the match? That had to be a pretty satisfying experience!

Is this the one? http://egw-guns.com/store/index.php?main_p...28be6dd270d06b3

I have a Dillon 550B, set up for .45ACP, and caliber change for .38/.357. I'm going to start reloading for .40 (for a Springfield XD). I see posts about different sizing/seating dies (Lee, Dillon).... What should I buy? I want to do it right the first time. Should I just get the Dillon carbide set (http://www.brianenos.com/pages/dillon/pics.cal_conv.html#dies )? Or is there a better choice? Also, I think all I will need is: Conversion kit = 20179 - which includes: ---- Shellplate = 5 - 13743 ---- Locator Buttons = 2 - 14062 (This is the same as the .38/.357 I already have) ---- Powder Funnel = W - 13600

Heggis, are your spacers bars of Irish Spring soap?!

Printable target here: http://www.glockfaq.com/targets.htm As for keeping the targets tan-colored, I'm not sure that it's worth the extra work. MichiganShootist, while not IDPA, here's a site with growing airsoft participation: http://www.aaps-federation.org/ They have a monthly "Postal Match", that's fun to set up, and fits in a garage-sized area. The COF they set up is not perfect for IDPA or USPSA, but it des let you run through skills, against the timer, and against other shooters (who set up the same course, and submit their times). Hope to see you over there!

You shamed me into it. I tumbled all my brass, and the next time I order from someone who sells a vibratory "tumbler", I'm going to buy one.

That's what I think is going on with me. Really? If I hold my breath, I'll die?! That would explain all of the dead shooters at the target competitions. If only they had known. Yes, that is what I'm asking about. Are you inhaling or exhaling during the trigger press or recoil of the gun. Unless the COF is under 4-5 seconds, I assume we all take a breath while on the course.

Sure you can. I do it all the time. Why couldn't I? There's nothing magic about shooting that automatically stops me from breathing. Even at longer ranges I'll still breathe. At shorter ranges, why on earth would I want to stop? Interesting... I made this into a poll over here: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71964

Inspired by another thread: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...st&p=833129 When actually stopped in a position, and firing a single (or multiple shots from that position), are you holding your breath? What about the draw? If you are aware of holding your breath, do you know if you exhaled just before stoping, or inhaled? For me, I believe my breath is held during any actual shooting, but I take quick breaths while moving, reloading, or even long pivoting between targets. I'm not sure of this, though, as my attention has never gone to my breathing.

Must........ go to sleep.......... CLOSED

Thanks, everyone! Rocket, I somhow missed the last PM you sent. These sites have given me plenty of stuff for reading.

What is Saul's website?

Do you know of any useful articles about USPSA/IPSC? Training, matches, personalities, whatever.... I'm looking for something to print out, and take with me, so forum-like websites are out. My Google-Fu is weak on this one.

Yeaah!!!!!!!!!! I win!

1 - A 1 - C 2 - No shoots Same rule as sci listed, different take If a bullet strikes partially within the scoring area of a paper or metal target, and continues on to strike the scoring area of another paper target, the hit on the subsequent paper target will also count for score or penalty, as the case may be.

To save a few dimes, most new PCs do not come with restore disks. They come with a "recovery" option, that lets you blow away everything that is installed (including the OS), and it rebuilds the PC back to the way it came from the factory. This is nice for a situation like you had (bad files, hard drive is still fine). This is not-so-nice if you have a dead hard-drive. To deal with a dead hard-drive, the recovery tool usually has an option of using the tool to burn your own set of recovery CDs/DVDs. This is something you should do when you first turn the PC on. So, to save the cost of the CD, they make you do the (hours) of work, and purchase you own blank media.

The guy in the SUV was not a Marine sniper, he merely admires them. If you had seen my Led-Zeppelin bumper sticker, would you have followed me to Wal-Mart in hopes of meeting Jimmy Page?!

I have a small rotary tumbler (from the days before vibratory tumblers existed)(some of you young folks have always wondered why they're called "tumblers" ). I'm sick of it. This year I have gone to no-tumbling-at-all. Now I: - Pick up brass at range (any pistol brass I find, mine or someone else's discards) - Dump them (mud covered/dirty/whatever) into a bucket. - Add warm water, a touch of dish detergent, and an ounce or so of vinegar. Swish it around. The next morning, swish it again. That evening, rinse and throw in a strainer to dry. No, it's not beautiful, but it's completely functional (and that's all that matters to me).
