Agreed, people who can afford a Razor are still going to buy one. As long as the glass on the Strike Eagle is in the same quality range as the Burris they will sell many of them to the budget crowd that can't afford a Razor. My son wants a Razor but can't afford one, but he will buy the Strike Eagle because he can afford it. Vortex is not loosing a sale, they are gaining one.

Remington Gun Club #20232. 1 1/8oz, 7 1/2 shot, 1200fps.

It's up to the match directors. There is no written rule against it but many matches limit you to lead shot only.

I have shot at Blackwater/Acadami/Z/whatever they call themselves many times over the last 15 years or so and all I can say is the facility must be seen to be believed. I'm definately in for this one. This is not a range as most of us think of one. This is a world class training facility and if the match organizers are able to use half of what is avalible this match will be epic.

And you and this thread proved something quickly too, although it's been proven time and time again without fail. If someone has an opinion, idea, view point, gripe, or any other synonym that would generally lead to an open discussion, they must either be bitter, jealous, suck, lazy or all the above.
Blew this out of the water in a hurry!Footnote: I'm a limited shooter that reloads, so no bitterness here, just my observation.
Just personally find it odd that 2 boxes of factory ammo, both that have been tested to produce satisfactory pf, and with one you're good to go regardless and the other you may be sol. Just depending on what name was on the box. To go even one, "what if", step further. You could have AA produce a large lot of ammo in preparation for Nationals. They take it to the match and supply the match with official match ammo. Having extra, they sell the rest at they're booth/table. Now, if their load was off (and it's happened before) the people whom bought the same lot of ammo through the program are fine. But the people who bought it at the table, aren't. Same ammo, only difference is price and a sheet of paper
You must be a liberal, sitting around, dreaming up ways people might be treated unfairly.

Since most (if not all) level I matches don't have a chrono check. I think the intent about "new shooter showing up with what they have" is still being met. If, after shooting local matches a shooter wants to try level II or III, he or she should then be concerned about ammo making PF.

GAME CHANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
X Ring from Tactical Solutions, Leupold Delta Point...
-
So far the Tandemkross compensator has provided the cleanest dot movement on my pistol.
-
0 Kelvin, it's a game changer...
-
I have the Wilson TTU in two of my rifles and like it very much.
-
When doing it right I watch nothing, but I see everything.

Jim Wall, good lord you have been around a while! I haven't heard that name in years.

Yes Mr. Bakus, fit IS critical! However we aren't alway in a nice standing position where it helps. We kneel, shoot roll over prone leaning way left or right, sometimes almost started ding on our heads, which can really change how our eye lines up behind the rib. A rear sight really helps align the barrel when everything else is "dynamic"
Isn't that what I said? Shoot it like a shotgun when you can, use the sights when you need to... fit and focus.
-
Kurt can correct me if I'm wrong, but it's all about fit and focus. For clays, steel and any birdshot type target it's all about fit. I don't use the sights for these shots even though they are there. Mount the gun, look down the rib and focus on the targets. If a slug target is presented load slug, shift focus to sights and make the shot. It's not like a set of sights on the shotgun prevent you from shooting it like a shotgun when you need to, which is most of the time. It's like some are implying that if you have a set of sights on the shotgun you must always shoot it like a rifle, but you don't.
-
Funny, what I see people saying about not needing sights for slugs, and what I see people doing at matches without sights when shooting slugs, seem to be two different things.
-
Kurt, not saying I disagree with your point but I wish you would stop implying that the A5 and the Auto 5 are in some way related. they have about as much in common as an M&P 9mm and an M&P Victory model. The A5 is much more like a Benelli than it is an Auto 5.

Topton, PA
We have shot this match three or four times. It's about as fun as it gets. A lot of people, myself included, consider this one of the top 'must shoot' matches of the year.
-
I have not attended this match but heard nothing but good things from friends who did. Good luck with your efforts for 2016.
-
So bummed, cannot get the time off to shoot this match.
-
Also has it filled up already like last year?
Since registration doesn't open till 9:00pm tonight I'd say it's not yet filled up. However, if anything like last year expect it to be full by about 9:15.

Another vote for the Aero Precision mount.

I ordered 500 of the 165gr 40 bullets to try out. Overall I was impressed with the quality of the bullets, the weight was consistend and all that I measured were the same diameter. I used them in two matches, accuracy was good, they fed reliably and I noticed no smoke wile shooting. The problem I had was in chamber checking. For some reason I could not figure out about 30% of the ammo I loaded would fail to drop freely into the chamber of my barrel, wedging in about .100 short of fully entering the chamber. This was not a little bind, the round had to be pressed hard to fully seat. It could be that my chamber is overly tight, the rounds that failed in my barrel fit fine in my friends chamber. As I have an AET barrel I'm not really wanting to open up the freebore on it. The problem is definately with the bullet, when I pry the ones forced into the chamber out the coating is scratched off around the front of the bullet were it was binding in the freebore.
It's funny, all of the bullets measure the same diameter, the brass is all the same, but 3 in 10 loaded rounds just don't fit. I bought some Berrys 180gr round nose and they all chamber check fine. Other than this problem I liked the bullets a lot and next year when I start loading 9mm for my revolver I plan on trying the Blue Bullet 147gr RN first. As for my friend, when he runs out of plated 165s he plans on switching to the Blue Bullet 165s.
Rules you would like to see changed.

Because the guns look retarded? Seriously, what ever match director first said it was ok to put more rounds in the gun than the starting capacity after the buzzer must have been out in the sun too long. I know that we are not "Tactical" but in a division called Tactical Optics a 50+ inch long shotgun is anything but. I shoot a 10+1 Versamax but would be more than happy drop it back to a more reasonable (Tactical) length.
