Come on guys, I know that there are more than 5 of you out there!

Recently read a discussion about this. For those of you who shoot or shot Production / CO with hammer fired guns... Do or did you notice the first DA shot from the holster? If you did notice it, how did you go about getting past that first DA shot, and getting rounds on target for the second SA shot? What training did you do to minimize the difference in trigger pull between the first and second shot? I don't think I've ever noticed the difference, so I can't objectively comment. I just never seemed to pay attention to that first shot, just put the sites on the target and squeezed.

Welcome to the forum. As for major PF open gun ammo, that is going to depend on what caliber...I'm pretty sure you aren't going to find 9mm or 38super/SC major on any normal store shelves. Probably 95% or more of open shooters load their own.

Doubtful. After working for telecoms for 35 years, you see some stuff.

Do they have a need for a master DC electrician? LOL.

Try clearing the cache on your phone. It is not the forum software causing the issue. If you'd like, I can reset your password and see if that helps. Send me a PM if you'd like to try that.

I second what Cuz said...had an older friend who would hobble around a stage, but he enjoyed it! Where in Florida did you move?

Only to have gone up in velocity. Remington 125 jacketed soft point 357magnum is listed at 1450FPS

Ah. I've used thousands upon thousands of the S&B's...was hoping someone was importing them again.

We won't tell anyone. Your secret is safe with us!

S&A primers? You mean S&B? What outfits have those?

Try 3.5 of N320 with a 147 coated. That is my load through a Shadow 1. 131-134 PF

Gainesville, FL is about 45 minutes north, matches there, Williston, FL about 30 minutes west, matches there, St Augustine about 1.5 hours away, Fernandina Beach, about 2 hours...sure there are others.

Some powders burn hotter than others. TiteGroup is known to burn hotter and melt / distort fiber optic rods.

Wrong powder. What powder are you using?

You are probably correct, but even at $5k each, that is still only $45k for that match, still leaving over $100k unaccounted for.

Even at $2k each, that's still only another $20k or so...still leaving upwards of $140k unaccounted for.

Maybe we need to break that down a bit and find out the total costs? How many RO's to work that match? By that I ask, how many volunteers were given the per-diem, lodging, and re-imbursed for a portion of their travel expenses? Based on 50 RO's (or volunteers)... If a match ran 4 days, each RO (or volunteer, if you like) gets $100 for their per-diem. $5,000 total, at $25 per person, per day. If they shared a hotel room (and, just for arguments sake), and that hotel room was $150 a night, out the door, that is an additional $300 per RO (or volunteer). $15,000, for 25 rooms for 4 nights If 75% of the volunteers got re-imbursed the full amount allowable, based on 50 volunteers, that is roughly $14,320 paid to those volunteers. So, add all that up, and you have $5,000 per-diem $15,000 in hotel rooms $14,320 in travel re-imbursement. That is a total of $34,320 for RO expense. A little over 1/6th of the total brought in by the above example. If the volunteer "gift" is worth $100, then add another $5,000 to that total, bringing it up to $39,320. Still less than 1/5th of the total brought in. How much does it cost to rent / lease the range for those 4 days? How much does it cost for the targets used? How much does it cost for the banquet? How much of that $200,000 is spent on prizes or plaques for the winners? What other expenses not listed above are incurred and how much are they? Not slamming anyone or anything, but these are the questions that need answers before any informed decision can be made on where to cut costs and get the matches back in the black. What is the total cost vs what is brought in, and what is that total cost derived from?

CZ clone.

I have a couple of P9's.

You may never financially recover from that, in this day and age.
