  1. If I'm in a hurry, then everything I do is not consistent or better. Preston
  2. I don't know how true that is. I've been reloading my XL650 for a year now. It uses the strong mount and literally just sits on top of a dresser. It's heavy enough that it doesn't move much, and I always take the time to do the job right. I admit, I was hesitant at first (because I didn't have a reloading room or anything that I could put bolts through), but it really has worked out well for me. I wouldn't advise it to anyone who had the space anyways to go ahead and mount the press... I can pick up my press of the dresser and have it stowed away in a closet in 10 seconds or so. Reloading components and all. Preston
  3. Welcome to BEnos forums. Preston
  4. What is the barrel length? Here might be a useful thread for you. If you use the search function on that forum, you will find plenty of loads for the 338L. Preston
  5. I use the Maxpedition Kodiak Gearslinger. I had the large range bag the other guys use, but the weight was shifted all to one side. I kept way to much stuff in that bag. The gearslinger has many organizing pockets to use and for me, it worked out better. Weight is much easier to tote when it's on your back. Preston
  6. I'm sure the gamer has played that particular practice level multiple times. How many times do yo think SID has run it? Preston
  7. 1st: 2011 SVI Open Gun (why not right?) 2nd: Glock 29 for Carry 3rd: Micro Uzi Preston
  8. I don't like being unarmed, so I took a few lessons from a Youtube video. Hope it helps! I tried to embed it so hopefully it works. Preston Edit because embedding didn't work...
  9. Welcome. There are a few of close by matches out in Lubbock. Do a little searching on the USPSA website. Preston
  10. Call SVI. When I was looking at the stainless grip, it required a new parts kit. I believe it was something like $200-250. I could be a little high on that price, but not by much. Preston
  11. +1 for the 650. I was in a similar position as you. I don't see a need for another press any time soon. Buy from Brian, he'll get you all setup with great prices. Good luck, Preston

    XDm Open.

    Good work ( ). Which factory loads have you found so far that work the compensator the best? I'm assuming there is one that stands out... Preston Spelling edit.
  13. I've seen the same pistol. Why don't you send him a PM? I'm sure that person would give you all the input you needed. Preston
  14. I don't like to sit still and shoot at only ONE target; this sport lets me shoot at many while moving. I don't like a rule at most gun ranges which is "no rapid fire"; here I can shoot as fast as I please. Above all, I like the smell of gun powder Preston
  15. Welcome to Brian Enos forums. Tons of information to learn from. Preston
  16. I can speak from experience, the 650 was the first press I bought and hopefully the last. I ONLY load .38SC on it so I can't say about switching calibers. When I do sit down to load, I usually will load up about a 500-1000 rounds. Past that and I start to get lazy. It is not intimidating at all. The instructions are very well written. Setup is a breeze. Loading ammo is easier than the setup. I don't use a powder check system because I load .38SC and it is easy enough to check every case (I have to put the bullet on top of the powder filled brass anyways). If you go slow when you first get it and just get the mechanics of the machine down, you should not have a single issue. I've been using mine for about a year now... nothing bad to say about the 650. This post wasn't meant to talk you out of a Dillon. Do yourself a favor and call Brian. He'll get you hooked up and you'd be amazed how quickly it ships. Preston
  17. Cannot wait to hear more results of it in the field. Keep updating this post once you get your ammo in to give us field results. That high velocity and not producing too much pressure? Sounds interesting... Preston
  18. A huuuuuuuge +1. I had the cash to buy all the reloading equipment. I called Brian Enos and after talking too him for about 20-30 minutes, I had all my stuff ordered. I think he saved me something like $500. Great guy too deal with and with his knowledge, you can't go wrong. Preston
  19. Listed an item for $300 on craig's list. The item was purchased brand new at $550. Common email: "I have 100 in cash and I'll take it right now. Where can we meet?" My response: "How about you give me $300 and I'll give you the item for free." I HATE lowball offers. I finally quit responding. I feel your pain, Preston
  20. Starline. The brass is great for higher pressures. That being said, I shoot open .38SC. I'm sure Super +P is the same. Preston
  21. Welcome to the forums. Plenty of threads here to learn about USPSA. Preston Plano Texas
  22. Welcome to the BEnos forums from another Texan! Preston Walls
