Man, I hate iffy on-line retailers! I got screwed over by an aquarium supply company once and will never order from them again, low price or no.

Wow, this is kinda strange. I haven't been on BE in quite a while and one of the first things that I read is this thread. I had the best match this past weekend since I started shooting about a year ago now. Well this is exactly what happened. I don't remember much about how I shot it and still don't know how I did so well. I do know that I was concentrating more on my job as an SO/RO than anything else, not on the shooting at all. Now how to do it again? Don't know but hope it happens again real soon. G-Man Bart, you kinda summed it up for me when you said "I need to think about not thinking a lot more" Thanks everyone Gary

Just finished reading the thread. I copied and pasted to a word document, everything that jumped out at me. So I can go back and read and re-read it all again. I, like most want to improve. Keep it coming please! And thanks

Thanks guys, any other pet loads from other members? Thanks

So what is my best load for this bullet weight shooting a 5" 1911? IDPA mostly. I found that Solo 1000 works great using 147s out of my G-34, now I would like to load it for my 1911. Thanks for the help.

THANKS, now you're talking! Lots and lots of good tips! I'll try to put it all together and see what happens. I know I need that timer, just keep forgetting to order one. Going to do that RIGHT now. Thanks guys and to the OP, didn't mean to step on your toes, man. As you can see, I need lots of help. Thanks again.

Range time = fun time Match time = fun time Dry fire = borrrring Maybe that will change sometime soon. I'm pretty new to pistol shooting and love the local matches. Learned a lot so far from the matches, this site and others. Any tips for making dry fire at home a little more interesting? Oh yea, just started reloading and still haven't bought a timer yet. TIA

It's a joke SN... it means i don't dryfire. I don't know about you but I hate that dry fire stuff. What could be more boring?

http://www.buffertech.com/stores/1/Glock_MagWell_P145C6.cfm Anyone tried this magwell?And how good is it as far as fit and finish? Would you buy it again? TIA

For what its worth, I ordered the 147s from Precision and had them in about a week. The sight says longer but I received them and the Berry's plated on the same day through the PO. HTH

Is there any load data for solo 1000 for pistol rounds? Everything I could find was for shotguns. There is some data on this forum, I just wanted to know if there were some other published data to compare. Thanks

Thanks WestWorld, good info.

Thanks for the good info, Ben. Like I said I'm brand new to reloading so I'm gonna show my ignorance and ask what the SD stands for? I have seen this on many threads and haven't figured it out yet. Thanks

Thanks, that's the thread that led me to put up the question in the first place. Just trying to be doubly sure since I'm new to reloading. I am definitely sold on the Solo 1000 after all the good reviews. OK SA Friday, you got another convert!

Sorry I didn't get back to the thread sooner. I didn't know that I had to subscribe to my on thread. I went ahead and ordered some solo 1000 with wolf sp primers. Ordered some 147s in the black precisions and the plated berry's. May be a while before I get everything in, will let you know how it goes when I have everything together. Thanks for all the replies Gary
