Tk .040 with rp brass. I also use .040 rev supply with same rp headstamp because they can be hand loaded without a tool and are snug enough that they work fine for me. This cuts down on the admin time/prep...

Better than what? There is load data for making major across a whole spectrum of bullet weights and powders. The king of such powders is 3n38 if your goal is gas volume. If you just want "full power" then just goto 357 magnum of which there are reams of wildcat loads available that are 'safe'.... Sorry i misread, sc and super case volume are close enough that it doesnt matter, the main thing is sc is rimless, so more BB's in a 170mm mag...

I had video of him shooting but its missing from phone somehow, apparently the last evidence of mr demarchi shooting icore with a break actio and speed loaders is lost... Action shot though...

Sounds like my kinda guys!

If its accurate its totally fine. A luminary i was brought into shooting sports by, the rule was crimp until it tumbles then back off an 1/8th. He came to this shooting thousands of rounds of berrys 158's painstakingly in batches searching for the best process. He did very well at bianchi.

No pin shoots around here, most of the stand and deliver off season stuff is plate racks in this area...

Right, they are in those divisions because there are enough reg's to be recognized. One of them would show up with a revolver if enough other people did, guaranteed...

Its not impossible. Smith did not have this gun at SHOT last week though... In the meeting a8 russ said he had been talking to revolver shooters in his area and they were in favor. The last rev shooters i am aware of in a8 are dave and james and i have my doubts that they are in favor of this. I haven't talked to dave in a minute and owe him a call anyways... Ruger didnt have any of the 8 shots either unless i missed them on the row, it is on good authority production is being setup to produce them again though.

Board is changing already. 2 years ago this proposition simply would have passed on suggestion. Distinguished GM would also have passed already. Ben Berry causing discussion to pump breaks and stop changing things without member discussion is good(even tho he is the prod 15 proponent which is dumb). Not to derail this thread...

Good question, probably a2 around rio? It used to be in a7 and a8, dave/josh/alec/me/dave and a few others would at least get enough entries for the division to be recognized. I don't think there has been enough in 5+ years now though since alec and josh quit and i gave up.

I'm not either, but this thread is interesting... yes no(qualfied) as mike says, revolver is a spec miata, its mechanical and its all exposed, you have to work hard to get the most out of it. jay's post offer the same sentiment without the miata reference. no, it won't matter, but it does screw up points for IPSC team(probably) The last point is probably the one that matters the most at the bottom from a pure competition standpoint. I though it said in the USPSA mission statement or bylaws that the point of USPSA is to field competitors to IPSC world shoot. I went looking and could not find that statement anywhere, but for some reason I vividly remember reading something like that. It is the case though...and i fully get the argument that of the few thousand active uspsa members in any given year, only a fraction even know about IPSC, nevermind contention for a WS slot.

damn, max is a monster, holy s#!t.

so if i shoot better points slightly slower, I win. got it. when the HHF is lowish, maybe 6, somewhere around there, this does not hold, which at match like nationals is going to be more than half the match. At last nats, the winner went full ricky bobby speed to pull the win and he still had the 2nd most alphas. 5-10% advantage. Its not way less than for autos, its probably exactly the same. that's for sure cheers!

Absolute legend.

Usually but not always. At last uspsa nationals mwp outclassed the field on total time wildly, 2nd place was +30 seconds slower with 20+ more alphas. This is fairly unusual but demonstrative that you can win with less(way less) alphas if you are insanely fast (compared to everyone else that day).

Nah. The 5 best revolver shooters are basically doing on the clock 2 sec reloads across the match, it is definitely not the deciding factor. Maybe they bang out a few magic 1.50's, but they are not all magic. 100% if optics are optional every single person in contention will be shooting a red dot.

The holes in the targets matter, shooting a dot is faster and more accurate. This is the case and it definitely matters. Everything matters when the difference between 1st and 2nd is 1% of the available match points.

Nah. Im sure someone(jay) could go pull the co vs prod scores with his magic data mining scripts, and my bet is co hit factors will be universally higher. I am positive mwp has data for himself and will be in agreement for you, but mike is the limit case, he is not merely good. On match day when the score matters, over a season, the dot will be better(on classifiers) for a good shooter.

I handled one this week for first time, they are undeniably nice, but not 6000 nice. I can get 2 929's with full action jobs and a pile of moonclips and accessories from Eli for that much... If they were 1500 retail you would see more of them irl for sure.

As long as there is a national title to be had, and a dedicated nationals for those chasing it, you are right. When foley made revolver nats a standalone match, it got 116 i think. The previous year, when revolver was with open nationals, it had 17, which is about where it is now i think. See mikes argument around irc. It fits here, guys just go where to least competition is to secure a win. If you give the division its own Nationals, you will get guys coming out of woodwork that you would never expect.

Yep, i dont see how this is fixable though. Pond is just to small. To make irc interesting it needs to be something that everyone would want besides another title like 10k for the open division (only) win or something, thats the only way its going to be all the contenders going for it.

A8 dave fourtnoy said in the meeting he had been ad hoc polling people at matches and everyone he asked said yes. He might have asked 1 guy or 50, who knows...

He said that they retain there current sensitivity.

Yep. The cups and even the compound is different according to the guy i talked to. He did also say the compound is in process of being changed for the entire federal line to 100% lead free(i thought this was already the case but he said no).
