Hello All! I have a box of Federal Gold Match LRP for Mag. I am wondering if you can use those instead of LRP for std. loads in .308. Steve

Hello All! I ordered a Rescomp belt (I was thrilled that they had one in my size). It is the two belt system and I am at a bit of a loss to figure it out. I assume that one of them goes on your waist first (do you need to wear a pair of pants with belt loops) and the other one attaches via velcro. Is the velcor attachment strong enough to hold an open gun/holster and three mags? Steve

Hello All! Does anyone know where to purchase a holster for a Sig P226 X5 Open. Gugaribas doesn't make them yet. Steve

Hello All! I have an android market phone, a Samsung Intercept. Are there any apps where you can time your shooting, and the app responds to loud noises, like, for example a PACT timer? I know there is one for the iphone. Steve

Hello All! My reloading manual lists 38 super loads, but they are not sufficient for USPSA major category. What are some sample loads for 38 super in major? powder, bullet, etc.? Steve

Hello All! I have a chance to buy a colt frame/caspian slide .38 super 1911 with a red-dot sight and mount. The frame I think is an older one. Can it withstand the .38 super loads needed to make major? I know most people use STI open guns. I've even seen a Glock in open, but never a Colt frame. Steve

What about an M%P 45 for the IDPA and USPSA Production? I have a lim-10, single stack and IDPA revolver. I can get a good deal on a used M&P45, and I'm considering it mostly for USPSA production, and IDPA as well. Is that a good choice? Steve

Depending on the people you talk to, some of them consider any gun tweaked for what we do to be a "racegun". Racegun and Open gun aren't really synonymous. Regardless, if you mean you want an Open gun, get involved with your local club(s) and let people know you're thinking about an Open gun. No question, you'll have people nearly falling over to let you shoot their gun. I routinely let folks at work shoot my Open guns just to show them there's more out there than the gun they're issued. Most of us load in such bulk that letting someone shoot a mag or two is really nothing at all, and we've all had folks do the same for us, so it's nice to return the favor. R, Yeah, it's guy like you Bart, that have cost me thousands of dollars (and I thank every single one of you for it!)! But, it's the funnest thing you can do with your pants on! I would say start with a factory gun, like a base Trubor, have it tuned, and shoot it till the wheels fall off. Then decide from there what exactly you want. As far as 9mm vs 38 super, it's personal preference. In all reality, there is not enough difference in the cost of brass to base the purchase of a gun based on soley that aspect. Shoot, pickup, and reload 38 super, and it becomes no more expensive than 9mm, and it may be easier to get a gun to run in 38 super, and I think it is a bit more forgiving with powder choices and bullet weights. Thanks All! I am leaning toward a trubor from Dawson in 38 super. Steve

Hello All, After shooting production, single stack and lim-10 for about a year, I am interesting in getting a race gun. Any good choices for my first one? Also, is 38 super the same as 9mm major? Steve

Hello All! A couple of days ago, I attended a reloading class. I got to reload some of the brass I had. I used Speer 185 gr SWC-TMJ Match (part #4473). I reloaded 3.9 gr of Bullseye Powder and I used Winchester Primers. When I tried them out in my predator, most of them jammed (stovepipe), didn't chamber properly and were ejected towards the front of the pistol, not the back. What can be the problem? Not enough power to cycle the action properly? Improper size (they fit in a case measuring device).
