Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. just shot the steel challenge...my times for speed option were added up wrong...since i did not verify what was posted on the scoreboard at the range before the results were printed, i was told the results would stand...lesson learned...
  2. 3.1 gr. BA-10 under a 124 gr. LRN 3.4 gr. BA-10 under a 124 gr. JRN Gun: 4.5" slide, extremely lightened, 3 chamber comp, cut 7# spring. For steel challenge, you definitely should lean toward the faster powders. At $8/lb, it's hard to beat BA-10.
  3. call d & d bullets (909) 983-0296...it would be about a 2 hour drive for you...

    Pendulum

    shot it at piru a few weeks ago...the 10" plates and elevation changes make it tough...reminds me of "five to go" in terms of really having to watch your sights/dot...during my practice session, my clean runs were 3.05-3.10...couldn't seem to drop one in the 2s...at least, not yet....

    Pendulum

    shot it today...the 10" plates and elevation changes make it a tough stage...in terms of pace/tempo and how deliberate you have to be with your shots, it is most like "5 to go"...i practiced it after the match and left to right seemed to work the best for me...the fast guys will shoot it in 2.75 or less...
  6. i set up in the right-front of the left box and shoot 1,2,3,4, stop..from the right box i set up in the left-front of the box and shoot 4,3,2,1,stop...my set up in the boxes brings the first 2 plates closer together...
  7. concur with warpspeeed....1,2,4,3,stop...set up in the right-front of the box...this brings the 1,2 plates closer together...
  8. fyi...this stage will no longer be used as part of the match...mike and mike are working on a new stage design which i understand will not involve any movement...from what i know, the stop plate will remain the same but the other 4 plates will change...
  9. i am considering trying vectan powders in limited and open class...i figured it must ok if eric g. is using it...i would greatly appreciate any load data for limited and open class...thanks in advance...
  10. i practice at an indoor range with a steel backstop and trap...most of the splatter i have noticed come from jacketed or plated bullets...this could also just mean that most of the shooters are using jacketed or plated bullets...since the range bans the use of hollowpoints and i have also heard of some ranges requiring use of lead bullets only, is there any truth to the rumor that lead bullets splatter the least?...thanks in advance...
  11. my left handed shooting buddy has both the newer ghost and limcat holsters...
  12. take the firing pin plunger and spring out...using a dremel/file, cut off or grind down the plunger lever (the part that actuates the firing pin plunger) so that it does not protrude into the hole in the slide...i tried one of the aftermarket fillers and had nothing but problems...did the above to the stock parts and the gun was flawless...
  13. i had a steel gun accu-railed 10 months ago and put maybe 25-25k rounds thru it with light powder puff loads...the frame to slide fit is noticeably loose side to side and up and down...is this normal?...i thought the accu-rail selling point was that the gun would never shoot loose?...
  14. cof: comstock, 8 targets, on signal engage targets freestyle 1 shot each, reload strong hand 1 shot each, reload weak hand 1 shot each...since it was comstock and not virginia, some shooters were taking 3 shots freestyle, reloading and shooting strong and weak hand into the berm as fast as they can...obviously, their hits and times were better than the ones who shot the stage as it was intended to be shot...were there any rules broken or was it just another case of bad stage design?...
  15. a shooter using a .38 super takes 2 shots at a target...we go to score it and find two 'A's..but they are .45 size holes...the target was obviously not taped...does the shooter get the benefit of the doubt or 2 mikes?...thanks in advance...
