  1. The only issue I’ve run into with 9 major brass is the case rim will widen to the point it won’t case gauge, those end up in the practice bin
  2. For 9mm brass I line the bottom of a large tray with blazer ammo 45 acp trays, they’re white with large square holes that I dumpster dive out of the trash can. I then dump brass in the tray and rock it, 80-90% fall in and most of those land case head down It make its easy to separate out 380 and 40 I check for damaged, cracked case mouths and stepped brass, I then flip them over into an empty tray and check for crimped primers, it take me around 10-15 minutes to check a couple thousand cases
  3. I remember a story I was told years ago of a shooter was clearing a 45 in the trunk of his car and did the rack the round out, then remove the magazine and put a hole in floor of the trunk.
  4. How do you sync a Pocket Pro Bt timer to practiscore to record the times? Can you do it with the free app or do I have to purchase one of the pay versions If possible could you explain in way that someone has lost a few brain cells due to being around loud guns for too many years thanks
  5. I have both, I took my old slide rides and put them on my PCC’s the Romero 3max is on the open gun. The old slide rides were great 30 years ago when they came out, but they have lousy battery life and are bulky for a handgun optic. the Romero 3max has a big window, bright dot and long battery life, plus because they are smaller you no longer have to tune the extractor and ejector to eject the brass sideways to clear the optic
  6. I did it with 2 pliers 1 holding the black plastic thingie 1 holding the aluminum tube right below it twist in opposite direction until it broke loose and rotated a few time until the aluminum tube came out, I think I might have used a drill to clean up the inside of the plastic housing
  7. Another happy vibra prime user, I also modified it to take the Dillon primer tubes and my experience mirrors 4n2t0.
  8. Back when titanium hammers were a thing, I ran a stock colt firing pin spring to prevent light strikes one thing I would check, with the slide off, hammer down, does the hammer rest firmly against the frame or does it flop back and forth. If it flops repeat with the slide on, is it hard against the slide stop or can you wiggle it with your fingernail if you can wiggle it, your hammer strut maybe too short
  9. I ordered one, can’t wait to try it out
  10. Years ago I read somewhere not to use federal primers in the 650 because they are softer i picked up my 650 around 1995 and since then I’ve popped 1 primer in it its a good idea to clean the primer tube every so often, I also spray silicone spray on the primer disk and primer feed assembly and let it dry to clean and wash away any gunk or residue
  11. Most competition belts are very stiff and do not roll up that tight, if space is a premium I would look at the links belt One thing to check, how well does your current rig fit in the saddle bags if you got room to spare a regular comp belt might be the way, if not look at the links belt
  12. About 20 years ago one of my buddies at a match used some kind of chalk on his hands and he had a slight running nose, and he’d use his hand to wipe it away which left a lot of white chalk residue below his nose and he looked just like the 90’s cop movie bad guy on a coke bender, everyone that came up to him WTH expression on their faces
  13. I did the same with a Oehler 35 and a PACT with the screens setup in line, and they were consistently with a few feet per second of each other
  14. One thing to remember is when doing load development is, you might make PF on your chrono at home but will it make on whatever chrono the match use's I’ve seen guys not make major or go subminor at the chrono station, one of my buddies chronoed at 125.something at the national
  15. Different powders have different burn rates if you have the ability buy 1 pound cans of the powders mentioned, do load development for each powder then go to the range and run back to back drills to see which one that works best for you and your open gun set up I like HS6 with silhouette a close 2nd I tried WAC and AA7 and didn’t care for them
  16. Oops I got limited optics on the mind, please disregard
  17. What I would do put a magwell and dot on a sig you already own and go shoot some matches then if you really enjoy it, look to upgrade you equipment
  18. Shred if anyone does come with an auto loader for the shockbottle pleases post a link
  19. I have a cmc and a jp triggers in my PCCs, and they do get crudded up When I clean them, I separate the lower, hold it over a bucket and blast the trigger group with ether CRC or Napa brand silicon spray and let it dry and relube the carrier on those is acetone which strips away the crud and leaves a silicon film on the parts I did send my cmc in for repair due to a broken spring, they fixed it and sent it back fairly quickly also make sure you wear nitrile gloves, those chemicals are not good for you
  20. My mousefart minor production ammo almost makes major out of my PCCs, 158 pf but then We’d run into the whole 40 caliber minimum for major rule, I bet if they allow 9major in LO all of a sudden they’d be a new poll up

    Romeo 3XL

    I have a Romero 3max and it’s been flawless, I also just recently got a holosun 507 comp and between the 2 I’m liking the 507 more they both have large windows, shake awake, and stupid long battery life the advantage of the 507 is the ability to stack the various reticles, it’s a lot cheaper, and has a much more common RMR footprint
  22. That was my feeling as well, allow both and let us figure out which is best but not enough of us voted for it

    Thanks for the updates, I saw on YouTube some of the issues the early guns had and it looks like maybe canik got it sorted out
