  1. You still have to shoot IDPA, it is fun (maybe not as much) so give in to the temtation and shoot some IDPA. Very easy to spot us USPSA shooters at an IDPA match, he with the most live rounds on the deck, it's only 3 seconds
  2. I would love to shoot this match in Revolver division. Does our USPSA class count, and do we shoot in revolver division in GM,M,A,B,C,D class? Or do we need a IPCS classification and those of us that don't all shoot unclassified? Also, Richard please change our NC Section, this match looks to good and big to pass up!!!
  3. Why stop at the "Mike Paster" insinuation, just tell em all it was me, walked, or ran right by it , the best 15 seconds you can get in a ICORE match. Thanks for shooting with us and hope to see you and Dwight 2 at the next one, Nick as well, we have extra revos for you to borrow
  4. Now I understand, the 8 shot revo, have fun with that and win your class and show up the bottom feeders!!!!
  5. Why would you want to shoot revo in production?
  6. .45's in moonclips in a S&W 625 and shoot revolver division, it's the most fun, in my humble opinion
  7. Most stages are around 26-28 rounds. We will have extra stuff (spedloaders and holders) for you to use if you need them
  8. You are welcome to ride up with us, will be laeving early so Dean can look at one of my revos
  9. Thanks Neal, I'll be working some up soon and post whatever I come up with
  10. A friend that shoots alot of ICORE thought that a 160 gr rn lead .45 might be a good one to try for ICORE (power factor only 120). The idea was that it should be about the same as a 158 .38 at the same speed, but we can use them in our 625's. Using 230 lrn at such a low power factor and low velocity seems like it takes the bullet forever to hit a 30 yard plate. Any one tried the light .45's yet? Any advice would be welcomed
  11. Lets have a good turnout for ICORE this weekend!!!!!
  12. Memphis Charity seems to be the must shoot of the year, looking forward to it
  13. How 'bout some revolver El-Prez's? Anyone have some great ones and maybe a video or two? Love to see what Jerry or Cliff have done it in. My best ever in a practice was 59 points in 6.96 for a HF of 8.4770 but usually average around 7.5 to 8 secs in matches with around 56 points.
  14. Pull the wheelweights of Liberal's cars, not really, check your local scrap yards, some will sell wheelweights in small (100 pounds or less) quantities if you ask real nice.
  15. Welcome !!! now after a couple more matches tell someone else how safe and fun our sport is and get another shooter out with you, before you know it you will shoot at section and area matches and make new shooting friends from around the country
  16. Welcome to revo world, the most fun you can have with six bullets at a time!!! And yes it is great to beat the bottom feeders in a match with an "old fashioned" firearm
  17. The April Appleseed is the anniversary of the first shot to our Independance, this is a great first one to go to
  18. Scotty, I've been using mostly "Lee" products for casting. The lead pot is around $50.00 bucks and the 2 cavity molds are under $20.00 handles included. I mostly use the 6 cavity molds (3 times faster) for about $35.00 bucks with another $15.00 or so for the handles. The lube/size kit is under $15.00 bucks and has enough "Alox" lube to do a few thousand bullets (extra ones are 'bout $3.00). So for about $100.00 you are casting, just need a supply of lead, wheelweights are getting harder to get, but you can always go to a local anti-gun rally and pull the wheelweights of their cars while they are all inside complaining about us!!! Bob, as far as Todd shooting lead, I've shot with Todd more than enough to know that he shoots a stage way faster than the smoke has a chance to cloud his vision!!!!
  19. I appreciate everyone's input on this. I've been casting quite a bit and have lead loads worked up for all my revo's that are the same power factor and feel as my jacketed loads. Nothing fancy on the cast bullets, "Lee" molds for the most part and Alox lube, a little sticky, but for the price and ease, you really can't beat it. I've found that range scrap lead and/or plain old wheelweights are about the right hardness for all my revo loads (all under 900 FPS) and for my 9MM's, I use a 150 lrn .38 bullet sized to .357 ( per an article in "Reloader magazine a year ago) and they hold 1 1/4" at 25 yards from a rest in my stock Beretta 92 and make minor (887 FPS @150 gr) power factor of 133 with no recoil. Like many others though, I also shoot jacketed bullets in major matches and for the indoor IDPA matches that I shoot.
  20. Not a Glock man, but what what I've seen at most IDPA matches most of the shooters and RO/SO's are great people, if you shoot the Glock well enough to win or beat one of the local hero's, the rule book seems to come out real quick. Shoot safe, have fun and maybe you won't get caught

    POLL

    Have not had a chance to shoot it yet, but can't wait to have at it
  22. An informal poll of revo shooters,,,, I use lead for most of my practice and outdoor matches ( much cheaper) and jacketed for indoor and major matches,,, what are the other revo shooters using and why?
  23. Thanks to all so far,,, looks like the Memphis is a MUST ATTEND this year,,, I'm hoping that my request for Match Stimulus Funds gets approved by then,,, the White House red tape can be tough!!!
