  1. Some of the best (performance wise) matches I have ever shot, were after a somewhat long hiatus, and I was just shooting to have fun, had no expectations of doing well, I was just there to shoot and BS with friends.
  2. Let go of all expectations and just shoot. Your expectations are getting in your head. Stop watching other people shoot the stage, stop trying to find out their times, I would say stop worrying about anything but your own performance, but even stop worrying about that...just shoot. Stop trying to go fast and just let it happen.
  3. 10.5 with a 115 MG JHP...and, it almost spills out of the case.
  4. VV N105 is what I use in 38 super. You don't mention 3n37, Lil Gun, WSF, and a host of others that can be used.
  5. A more real advantage to 38 super (or 38SC) is a wider range of powders can be used. So, each has its advantages and disadvantages, 9mj with brass cost being cheaper, and the 38 super and variants having a wider range of powders.
  6. I've always heard that SC FEEDS more reliably...no semi rim to hang up on in the mag.
  7. Rust / corrosion is caused by the oxygen and moisture in the air reacting with the iron in the metal. Anything that blocks the air and moisture from getting to the iron will work. At my work, I splice very large copper cables carrying DC current. Copper oxidizes easily in moist air, so we use a corrosion inhibitor called No-Ox-ID A. It is essentially a non conductive grease. Vaseline can also be used.
  8. Are you just looking at the front page of the forum, or do you click on "All Activity". All Activity will show every post made within a span of time. I see a typical 40-50 new posts per hour, spread throughout the forum.
  9. You don't need to download tapatalk. Just go to the top right corner of your phone (the 3 dots), hit that, scroll down and click on "desk top site".
  10. Which parts of the forum do you think are dead?
  11. 38 super is only expensive if you buy new for every use. Buy once or twice fired, and reload.
  12. Even on here, deals can be had. These are a bit more than what you listed as your budget, but, be vigilant, and you will find what you seek within your budget.
  13. There are exceptions....but, then again, there are a ton of threads on here about 2011 open guns not running either. My 2011 Trubor has been flawless, the only issues I've ever had have been ammo related.
  14. That sounds like a VERY intelligent idea.
  15. Traveling for work, I've tried many different coffee's, never could find the "one" that i truly liked enough to brew at home...until I tried Cafe Bustelo. If you like coffee, give it a try. So, what's your favorite coffee?
  16. Never ran either, but from what I have seen, this is almost absolutely true.
  17. Welcome Tacomandood! Be sure to read the forum guidelines https://forums.brianenos.com/guidelines/ And the classifieds forum rules
  18. How to change your fat hands or change nudging the safety up? LOL. Place your thumb on top of the safety and ride it when shooting.
  19. You're welcome! PowderValley is how you experiment with different powders. Buy 4 or 8lbs or what you know you like, then buy 1lb jugs of those you want to try, up to 48lbs on one hazmat fee.
  20. PowderValley has 4lb jugs of VV N320 for $142.50 shipped, which includes hazmat fee. That breaks down to $35.62 a pound. Buy 8lbs and it drops the price to $32.36 per lb. Buy 16lbs and it drops the price to $30.36 per lb. If you are buying powder in your local GS, you are doing it wrong. By comparison, PowderValley has Titegroup for $293.80 for 16lbs...which breaks down to $18.36 per lb.
  21. Try 3.2 of Clays. So soft it will make you giggle when you shoot it.
  22. Get a mini butane torch from the hardware store and heat the screw up. It is loctited in and the heat will break the bond of the loctite
