Howdy GG,
I might be interested in CMMG if I decide to head out there and have a way to get down there.

I'd give it a strong meh...

I remember saying how cool it would be to have a shootoff at night time with tracers!
Can't wait for the video...

Same here, I'd like to see it too...

I have a 2011 that is 18 years old.
I'm 23 and I've shot the piss out of it since it got built.
You had it made when you were 3?
score!
Holy Hell! If there is any better evidence that the math requirements to get through school are too lenient, I don't know where you would find it!

Try a Taurus PT1911 in 9mm. Lot of them run quite well and the price is certainly right.
The Taurus 1911 is a piece of trash.
That's a little harsh, but there's a reason there are a lot more STIs and Springfields than Tauruses at matches.
VERY very well said Bud..!
Mine runs just fine - I bought it to beat up on. Never had problems with it (after I replaced the safety plunger well) and it groups as well as my 2011.
I don't shoot USPSA seriously but if I did, I'd plop down $300 more to get an STI.
Since I shoot USPSA for shits and giggles (And Outlaw 3-Gun for real), my Taurus is great for SS at local matches.

I intentionally do not use the sights on my carry gun - I've never seen them.
Self defense shooting is a whole different ball game.

Sell your M1 and get a vent rib shotgun.
Sell/trade your M1 barrel and get a vent rib barrel of ANY length (and cut it to 21/24").

Stages 4 & 5 are jungle runs or 4-5 stages are jungle runs?

An X-Die plus $200 you'd spend on a trimming setup plus about $100 will buy a Giraud.
You'll eventually load more and you can do 1,000 an hour.
I've only seen one person sell theirs on the internet since I've owned one:

I have two Benelli M1's.
One WILL NOT run with a side saddle full of 12 gauge on the side of the receiver (It was 7+1+ Side Saddle).
It runs fine with 8 in the tube, 1 in the chamber, and one on the lifter.
The other runs just fine with 14 rounds loaded in it (12+1+1).
I ran one for years with a factory spring - had it hang up once every 200 rounds.
I run both now with a reduced spring - hangs up once every 200-400 and I've done it for more than a year.
Your mileage may vary.

Open should be the division where you just grab your gun and start [mindlessly?] hosing things down until there are no more targets.
There's no such thing when talking about the folks who will be winning matches.
Otherwise, you can do that in any division and rule set.

We should lock this thread. It is pretty unfriendly.

I have been getting apps at a steady pace and sponsors are rolling in. Let me know if you have questions about the match
I'm definitely interested in coming down, looks like a good one!

I've had one on order for many months and I heard he was redesigning it.
Has anyone heard anything lately?

After reading this entire thread I am left wondering the motivation of anyone wanting to limit magazine capacity in our rifles. I believe it to be simply a false perception by those who do not have higher capacity mags that they are somehow at a dissadvantage with only 30 rd mags at their disposal. I have been shooting this game long enough to realize I have never been beaten by anyone because they had a higher capacity magazine than I had. There seems to be no end to the "Lets try to level the playing field" crowd, that just don't realize there is no such thing. In this entire thread there is still not one sensible reason to limit rifle rounds.
How about, "Because Beta mags are big, heavy, unwieldy and not very practical and therefore shouldn't be in tactical division." Is that not a sensible reason in your opinion given that shotguns and pistols are limited for similar reasons?
FWIW I have a few Beta mags for my M16, but I've never shot a match where I needed any more than thirty rounds anyway, so I have no perception of
being at a disadvantage at all. I really don't care if everybody in tactical starts using Beta mags, or belt-fed uppers, it just seems inconsistent
to me.
I have shot a lot of matches where I needed more than 30 rounds. One match had a stage where you ended up shooting over 86 rifle rounds.
Me to Pat. That's my point. A reload on long stages (or two) is usually pretty insignificant.There are rare exceptions but generally on an 86 rd field course I will find a few places to reload with no time penalty.
Armdctzn, Exactly my point. Why limit something that by your admission is of no significance? Just because there are such rediculous restrictions (in some but not all rules sets) for pistol and shotgun? Just for consistancy of bad rules is not sensible to me. But that's just my opinion. If a stage designer wants to test magazine changing skill just stipulate that in the stage description.
Agreed.
Your pistol magazines should be no more than 140mm - sure, go ahead and load and make ready with your 60 round rifle magazine.
On a 100 second long 3-Gun stage with 50 yards of running (most 3-Gun stages I'd say), a reload is not going to decide who wins and loses.
If you want folks to reload, stipulate it like Kurt and Trapr did at the High Plains rifle match.
Also keep in mind - Open shooters in USPSA generally don't carry multiple 170mm magazines onto a stage. If a magazine length restriction were to be lifted, people would go from 21-23 rounds in their first magazine to 27-29.
Subsequent reloads would stay the same and if the course is more than 25 rounds - people will be reloading anyway or finding A LOT of time to.

Yes, if you recover your brass and only your brass for only one weapon.
And even then, you will need to trim at some point. (I'm pretty sure you have to trim them before you use the X-die anyway)
If I load a batch of 5.56, fire it through my AR15, 5.56 AK, and HK53 5.56, they won't all resize the same in the X-die if mixed together.
It works by reducing the growth of the case. If all of the cases are from the same lot with the same dimensions/characteristics, you're good to go. If not, you won't get consistent results.
Theoretically, you can do the same with a normal sizing die since if all the cases grow at the same rate, you probably don't need to trim them if they're below 1.760". The problem is that if one sneaks in there that doesn't fit the lot, it can screw you big time. The rate of growth after the resize depends on the number of firings, the brand of brass, what lot the brass is from, what kind of weapon it was fired out of, how it was treated when it was originally loaded, how hot it was loaded etc. The only way to be sure is to measure ALL of them or get a Giraud/Gacey, set it, and forget it.
Unless your brass is clearly marked, can you really be sure you didn't accidentally pick up a stray case? Instead of worrying, I get the peace of mind from resizing and trimming everything.
I had the X-Die then paid the money for a Giraud so I can pick up everything and treat all of it the same since I can set it to trim consistently based on the headspace. (And all headspace dimensions should be close since all of them get resized the same way)
-
I've heard that shooting the 55gr will tend to foul the barrel very quickly and diminishing the accuracy. Any truth to this?
Nope.
In a match where you fire 200 rounds through your rifle over three days, no need to worry about that.
-
I like things just the way they are. Don't make changes just to make changes.
Agreed - I don't really hear any complaining about multigun.
The only question I ask when I show up to a match is do I shoot for accuracy (Time-plus) or speed (IMGA)...

This dub is pretty funny, same company, NSFW language:

As another poster said, I also invite people over to use my press with supervision. Teaching someone how to use a pre-set Dillon without teaching them what is actually happening is a 30 second explaination. I still keep an eye on them though.

No advantage/disadvantage.
I have not found my nickle to crack any sooner than any other brass in major and minor. (and even in .223)

HS-6 is the answer. It generates enough gas to work the comp.

I have one in 9mm that works great. I use it for USPSA fun matches and all I had to replace was the safety well plunger assembly.
Once I cleaned it up and dropped lighter springs in it, it felt like a $1,000 gun.
The finish is crappy but I spent $500 to beat up on it and it is holding up fine.
Shoots fist sized groups.
