Titanium Eagle

Price not an issue. Only real issue is that the two cans I orderd do not arrive until the 24th. But I am going to get started tomorrow night. Thanks for all the info!

I know..I know But my work really keeps me here. To make things worse they are now trying to pass a "One gun Per Month" law... But thanks for the help offer

Hello all, I live in NJ where it is one handgun per permit. I recently applied for 3 permits and I purchased a Kimber Gold MatchII 45ACP and a Ruger GP100 357m. I also own a Berretta 92F and a Sig 380. Here is my issue. I am shooting 2 times a week and after the new year I will start going to matches (USPSA). I also just purchased a Dillon 650 for 45ACP. I have one more permit to use and not sure what caliber to get or in what. I was considering a Sig Sauer 226 Equinox in a 40cal But the with so many caliber guns the reloading becomes limited. Should I get another 9MM or 45 just get the 40cal and get conversion kits later in the year. Your thoughts?? Thanks

Unfotunately no one in my area (Monmouth county NJ) has the One Shot.

Great !! Thank you!!!

Hello all I got my 650 setup for 45 acp. Here is my question. Is case lube required? I have ordered Hornady One Shot but because of shipping restrictions it will not arrive until next week. I should have ordered Dillon Case lube to get me going but I did not, and here I am. Is ther an alternative I can use to hold me over , is it a must, or should I just wait? Thanks Pete

Thank you Duane Great article and great tips.!! Keep them cummin!!

Raise the bar!! Figure out a way to get them both!! Do not settle. Remember...Fortune Favors the Bold. Pete

Could the ammo have anything to do with it?? I just got my Kimber Gold match II and it is awsome. But I am all over the place with my Berretta 92f. I was told to change my ammo. I haven't done that yet .. any thoughts, comments, or facts......

Well The Kimber and the 22kit came in today. I was only able to fire 100 rounds with the 45. and did not switch to the 22. I am really pleased with this gun. It is noticably better than my Berretta 92f. The accuracy improvement is significant.. I have been home for an hour and feel like i need to go back t o the range . AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hello all, I am waiting on my Kimber Gold Trophy Match II(45ACP). I also ordered a 22lr conversion kit for it. Is it a good idea to practice with a different caliber?? I am thinking that the shot experience is totally different. Are any of you doing this?? Thanks Pete

I just ordered my 650 for 45 ACP will probably also order the conversion kit for 9MM

This game is addicting. My wife thinks that I (and all of you, for that matter) are nuts with the mony we spend. For me this has been theraputic. Great people helping each other out in a great American pass time. Thanks

are you shooting a compensated or un-compensated gun? Compensated guns have a tendancy to have lead build up in the comp which can be fun to clean out. If it is un-compensated there will be a "smoke" factor from the bullet lube. Either way, there will be more residue in the feed ramp are from the mixture of unburned powder and lube, if you are a clean fanatic then there will be more work for you. I shoot an uncompensated gun. I heard a guy at the range today talking about how he never shoots lead and I wanted to learn more.. Thanks

What is the downside(if any) of shooting lead bulllets ?

Guys I am sold. I am placeing my order with Brian now. I will start another question regarding Bullets after i place my order. Thanks Again Pete

Thanks for the detailed info Mark. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the help. I had the opportunity to shoot a SA Loaded and A Kimber Gold Match. Well I have ordered my Kimber and it will be in the store on Monday. Looks same as SA Tropghy Match,(almost) but felt great and shot nice. I know that the SA Loaded I shot is not the same as the SA Trophy Match, I felt better with the Kimber. The Owner of both of these guns says that Kimber is a better gun and mor accurate out of the box. Not sure if that is true or not but I can't wait to get mine.

How many times over do you use the brass? I intend to shoot 500 to 800 rounds a week.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... that can work for me!!

Happy Thanksgiving All!! I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a complete 650xl setup that will cost me over $1300.00. What type of savings are you folks experienceing in reloading. I will be reloading 45ACP and 9mm. I was in a gunshop yesterday where a man was claiming it was not worth reloading? What do you think and what type of savings should i realize with a complete setup. Thanks Pete

Went on gun broker yesterday and one had just sold. Also called a dealer in TN where someone saw one this weekend and i am waiting for a response. I am surprised at the lack of availability and the 6 month eta that SA is reporting. I will look into the other recommendations. Thanks

Does anyone know what is happening down at SA I was informed by my local dealer that the "Trophy Match" I want is not available and he can not tell me when it will be. So I called other dealers and the same thing. I called one dealer who told me that there are no 1911's available. Next I called SA and the customer service rep told me it would be at least 6 months before I would see it. He was very " As a matter of fact about it" I asked if it would be possible to order through their custom shop and he said it would take just as long. Does anyone have any idea what is going on, or where i can find a "Trophy Match" Lastly what would be an alternate recommendation of equal or better quality? Thank you Pete

You're not far from Old Bridge. Check out www.OBRPC.org and come out this Sunday if you can. There are USPSA "practice" matches at Old Bridge indoor range first and third Friday of every month. It is probably the best place to start. Come on down. Thanks At what time?

Can you explain what you mean by "Full dust cover"? The dust cover is the portion of the frame that is forward of the trigger guard. This is normal dust cover.. Here is a full dust cover.. Got it!! Thanks alot !
