I am left handed, but I shoot right handed, its no big deal.

12/17, replace often
-
a small base full length sizing die may save the brass

my Giraud Trimmer is the one reloading tool I will never be without
-
its an easy change over, I use 2 tool heads, the 1st one has a RCBS small base FL die set to bump the shoulder .003(I haven't bought a RT1500 trimmer yet), I then tumble off the lube, trim on my Giraud Trimmer, the second tool head had a Lee Collet die in position 1, 25.0 of 8208 in position 2, RCBS seating did in 4 and a Lee FCD in 5, I only use the FCD to remove any bell in the case mouth, this process producers 3/4 Moa ammo, the furtherest I have shot this load is 500 yards.
-
I use 25.0 of 8208, and use Lee FCD to close the bell

I changed both of my SVI front sights with Dawson fiber optic fronts, go slow and easy with the file, easy peasy, watch Dawson’s video on you tube

Highlander, seen it a hundred times, There can be only one.

No surprise I took my fam to see this movie, 1st of all the movie is not 100% factual, but it was a great movie, before seeing it I thought Matt Damon would be a terrible choice as Carrol Shelby, boy was I wrong, he did a great job minus the Texas accent, Christian Bale was the perfect choice for Ken Miles, the ending is just as it was in 1966, Miles got F—ked, not as hard as Enzo though, Ferrari hasn’t won LeMans since.

Make sure the gas key is not loose on the carrier

I broke dual safety on my SVI, I replaced it with a single side myself from SVI, pretty easy fit, zero blending.

3m Peltor EEP-100, same as TEP-100 but lime green and a different charging case, add some Skull Screw tips and for 170 bucks you’ll have electronic in ear hearing protection with a 30bd noise reduction, I love mine.

I just ordered one for my 650, I’ll be watching this thread

PIf a can is “soo expensive” maybe precision rifle is not for you. It’s a buy once cry once purchase, there is no going back afterwards, and no used market to speak of, shooting off baracades in windy conditions sucks, so those are the cons. Shooting suppressed makes things easier, less recoil less noise which make you more accurate, I like cans that come apart, ie that are not welded together, makes getting them serviced easier, IMHO they don’t require or need cleaning unless it’s a rim fire can, both of mine are direct thread and the POI shift is spot on repeatable.

Got another question, are targets at known distances?
Very few stages are “Milling” stages, ie figure out without a LRF what the range is, the course of fire is spelled out in the match book, and range to target/targets is spelled out.

Alpha Mike No Shoot(WTF).
Congrats on shooting two pistols to failure, most of us will never do that, have you contacted STI on warranty replacement?

I have some MSA Sordins with Gel Cups, they are 8 years old and still work great, but the gel cups do go bad and need replacement about every 4 years. I recently bought some 3m Peltor EEP-100 plugs and added Skull Screw tips, these are marketed for industrial use not shooting and with skull screw tips provide 30db noise reduction, I love these things, price is 170 for the plugs and a 10 pack of tips from Amazon.

I put TTI springs and universal followers in my 9 and 40 tubes, 23 rounds of 9 20 rounds of 40.

I have read Lannys book(a few times), and I listen to Steve Anderson’s podcast, last year I took a demotion and got a 8 dollar a hour raise, right now in my work I want to be the best, been there before but not now, harping on the negatives is a super hard thing to break, doing so is IMHO is the single biggest hurdle, once you are able to focus on positives, and think objectively on solutions the world is yours, my self image has grown, problem is my shooting is not my focus, work is, the conscience mind can only do 1 thing at a time.

Get a Giraud Trimmer

I think it depends, the stock Glock barrel is accurate enough for most, my G35 gen3 stock barrel didn’t like coated bullets, plated and real FMJ pills shot pretty good, my KKM 9 conversion barrel shot everything I fed it good.

My wife and I started watching season 1 on Netflix, pretty good so far.

I want to set the record straight on the recirculated air on commercial airliners, all the air you are breathing in flight is coming off the engines, its called bleed air, on. a 737-700/800 only 10% is recirculated and that air goes through a bad ass HEPA filter(that is changed every few months) before being reintroduced into the cabin, all the air in the cabin is coming out of the ceiling and is being drawn down to return air vents close to the floor, and is then vented overboard through an outflow valve in the tail of the airplane, the recirculated air comes from the baggage bin, not the cabin. I know these things from 33 years of being a aircraft mechanic, 23 at Southwest Airlines.
