Howdy Russ. Welcome to the forum. There are a few places to shoot in Illinois & the surrounding states. Hopefully you live near some of them.
-
We have a match this weekend at Lefthanders. If you want more information let me know.
We shoot every Thursday night from 5-8pm at Bullet Express.
-
Howdy Hillsboro!
Where do you shoot?
Have you joined us at Lefthanders or at Springfield Tactical Shooters?
-
Is this still a valid classifier? I am assuming yes.
I thought I read somewhere that it was going to be removed but I can't find where I read it.
It is still on the website & in EZWin so that should be a yes.
39 in 4.83 Limited. Right around my current level.
-
Two, kind of. We have an outdoor monthly match nearby.
We also have a weekly indoor stage where we usually average around 40 to 50 shooters with 80 to 110 total runs.
Central Illinois.
The others I try to attend are 70 to 110 miles away.

Thank you for the notice.
We had a couple of competitors a bit miffed with our scorekeeper until I told them another person had issues & verified it with Mr. Maier.
This place is great!
-
I hope everybody had fun & a good match.
I was helping out on stage 1 where most of you were either on the tips of your toes or down in the rock.

I load .40 MPF loads with 165 and 180 gr. bullets for my 16.40 with an OAL of 1.35" which, I believe, is the length most factory ammo with those weight bullets are loaded at.
Did you mean to type 1.135" OAL?
I run 1.18" OAL with Montana Gold 180 CMJ in my pre-PXT Para, but I haven't had a problem with any length attempted so far.
I shoot with a guy whose Para doesn't like any ammo longer than 1.135". YMMV.
-
P16 40 Mags
in Para
If you want them now I would get the pads from DP & get the tubes from somewhere else like Gunbroker or Para. There is a decent deal that I have considered in the past on Gunbroker right now. (As long as the mags are actually Para mags as stated & not Mec-Gar.)
Every once in a while you can get DP Para pads on here or the USPSA classifieds for less money than normal price.
PM incoming about GB deal.
Should run without tuning required.
-
They ran & it looks like you got it IIRC. Congrats!

I will ask some of the guys associated with it about stages. I doubt it this late, but it's worth a try.
I placed the original post to spread information about the match. It was stated that if there weren't enough competitors it was in danger of not happening.
-
Menards 2x4 bench. Basement dungeon. Just enough room to load a fistfull of brass on top.

Drift...CA is always buying someone else. They keep eating the companies I like & messing up their software.
I've know a few technical people who didn't ever use antivirus & a couple that wish they had...
The "good" web pages that you only click on can have a bad ad or been taken over. The evil stuff that broadcast & installs itself with no need for user interaction is nice.
IMHO as nice as some of the heuristic engines are, every anti-virus provider is playing a game of reaction. There is always something new out there that everyone has to do an update for. My theory is that the bigger & more successful you are, the better the chances that the virus writers are using your engine to test against in their sandbox.
I use a combination of antivirus & firewall & anti-malware. I have several (mostly outdated) computers with a mix of everything. Avast, AVG, Kaspersky, Commodo firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, Avira. I tend to go with Avira since AVG limited free installs to one per household.
SpywareBlaster goes on everything.
Make sure you update your Antivirus & OS. Even the best won't protect you if you don't.

When everything is running perfectly I can get just over 200 good safe rounds an hour on the Lee Classic Turret. I usually get between 160 & 190.
I loaded about 12,000 good rounds last year. Mostly 40, 9, & 38SC.
I just replaced the plastic bearing & primer spring/wire.
I just ordered a 550.
The Lee was great to learn on. Additional calibers were very inexpensive.
I am keeping it.

I'm kind of curious on this one too. I thought there was a provision in EzWin to
designate Non Penalty Mikes for disappearing targets in the scoresheet function
---but I can't figure it out in version 4.03.
Not unless it was added, but I don't see it.
From the cover letter for 4.0:
Scoresheets - This folder contains a Microsoft™ Excel spread sheet that can be used to create score sheets with boxes for non-penalty misses. The complexity of adding this feature to EzWinScore was found to be quite difficult, and, given the amount of other more important modifications, was left to a future release.
Good information Here

I am fairly new at this so if someone else knows better or if I have something incorrect, please jump in.
Download the USPSA Stage Design Tools
Run the .exe to extract the content.
Open the Comstock word document & edit as needed. You should be able to copy & paste as needed.
Hopefully it should be fairly self explanatory. If not, here is further assistance:
Change the total steel to 15.
Copy the 2nd T1 with the marked out M & paste it back in for the 2nd dissapearing target.
Select T3 through T12 & delete them.
Change the total hits to 23.
If you don't have Microsoft Office you should be able to download Open Office. I don't know how well that will work with the provided forms.

CO Steve mentioned that to make a 20 second swap of primer assemblies on the 550b you need to purchase the assembly from Dillon. Is part number 14282 Primer Slide Assembly, Small the only item that you would need to order or would I need additional items like 14015 Primer track bearing, etc?
Thanks
I was informed by a fairly reliable source that this doesn't speed anything up with the 550b.
HEY! All you St. Louis & southern Illinois shooters!

I would love to help support a new club & have more shooting choices.
Unfortunately I am on call and have to work part of this weekend otherwise I would be there (and PASA.) I already have traded so many weeks to make matches this year that the guys are getting sick of me asking to swap.
I thought I heard that some of the guys from Southern Illinois Gun Club(?) might be holding/helping/working the match in some capacity.
I will send this out to my shooter list.
