I just returned to the shooting sports with a 13yr old son. I was a regular IPSC local shooter back in 84, 85, and 1986. I’m not surprised by the obscurity the sport is still in given the general anti gun climate in this country. A lot of the same anti gun sentiment exists in motorcross, our other past time. To a lesser degree you could add Skateboarding to the mix. X-Games and the power of TV have turned other obscure sports into profitable careers for those at the top of their game. Who here doesn’t know Travis Pastrana? I personally think IPSC is as exciting as the other sports in the X-games and if some flash was added It would be awesome to watch! Sorry old guys, no one wants to watch us running and gunning! This is for the junior shooters and those in the sport in their early twenties, given the X-games demographics. Anyone else think ISPC would make a good addition to the X-games? It could be called IPSC-X, like MOTO-X. Anyone agree? Want to do some brain storming on the subject? Or am I crazy?

Dogma, Measure your bullet .452 Measure your case wall thickness and double it .010 x 2 = .020 Add the bullet and case thickness = .472 You want a crimp of .002 to .004 A crimp of .002 would measure .470 at the tip of you crimp. A crimp of .004 would measure .468 at the tip of your crimp. If you had .460 and .466 at the tip of your crimp, your crimp is .006 and .012 ouch… A tighter crimp will change the case pressure. If you shoot your .466 crimps check for signs of over pressure. (primer backing out or bulged case) Let us know!!! Rob
