7.2 grains of AutoComp with 124 Montana Gold JHP, or 9.8 grains of 3N38 same bullet....

One final question, where can I find the squad listing???

Getting everything together for next week, and suddenly I realize, I did not receive a packet for Nationals.... Did anyone get a packet this year???

Two suggestions: Did you see that????? Or Did you see something move???? Should be fun....

You hit on my reason for this post, does a lighter gun, less bullets in the mag, shoot faster or slower, and does it change recoil for better or worse. When I was shooting steel over the weekend, I was able to swing the gun a little faster with a half full mag. Any thoughts?

When shooting a classifier do you use full magazines or just enough ammo to complete the stage and or string of fire? Why or why not. Just something I noticed and wanted to solicit feedback from other open shooter, etc....

Had that issue at Area 8 last year. Could you use a wall/barricade to support weak/strong hand shooting?

Federal small rifle for me, no issues for 38.

Stay with 38 super for the MatchMaster, the 38 will give you more powder choices to use in the shorter barrel. I currently use 8.0 grains of AutoComp with a 124gr MG bullet and 173pf.

Great stages and a great squad today. A special thank you to the shooter who had to leave early but stayed and ran the clipboard the rest of the match. Truly a class act......

STI MatchMaster in 38 Super

Does anyone have the final round count for the open L10 Nationals?

I am using 8.0 grains of AutoComp, 124 CMJ'S, OAL of 1.235, in a STI MatchMaster, 38 super and made 171PF at the Ohio State Match, remember this has a short barrel.

Find someone who has a MatchMaster and shoot it. I have a full size open gun in nine and my MatchMaster is 38super. I love shooting the shorty. It is quick, accurate and shoots very flat. Load is 7.8 of AutoComp and MG 124cmj. You just have to find a gun that you like to shoot and want to shoot. Once you shoot a shorty, it is strange to pick up a full size gun. It feels like your picking up an anchor. Just my two cents. Good luck and make an informed decision.

I also admire the G19, my favorite carry gun. Simply, what is not to like about that gun? I have had mine for over thirteen years and never a single issue. Simply a great gun.........

How many total rounds thru the gun? What type of oil are you using on the gun? What powder are you using. Some are very clean and others can foul a gun quickly.

I had similar issues with a MatchMaster and it finally came down to the magazines. STI has the proper dimensions on their website. Mark each mag and see if you can narrow it down to one or two mags. Firing it with he scope mount removed, you will be able to see the ejection path.

My question to you is what discipline do you want to shoot? Careful about modification if you are going to shoot in the Production class in USPSA or IPSC. I will agree that a 19 is not ideal for USPSA but it is fun trying to make 20 yard shots on a popper with a short barrel gun. The 34 is very popular in Production Class. My 19 is great for carry and i have had it for almost twelve years and would not trade it for anything. Hope this helps.

Kevin and Team, thank you for a great tach. Although the weather was not great, everyone did survive. You guys put a lot of work into this match. Thanks again and see you soon.

Paul, nice meeting you and many thanks for your great videos and pics. The ladies super squad rocked the house. Lol

How should spent primers be disposed? I have several pounds of them in a coffee can and want to know how to properly get rid of them, and do they have any scrap value?

How many rounds thru the tube?

Awesome, thanks for the fast response, Don

Kevin, great match, unloaded starts, no clamshells? When will we see the results?

Paul, such talent, I am truly impressed. See you Sunday. Don
