This may be an ignorant question, but how do I remove the rear sight on my GF's EAA Limited Match to install Hennings new fixed sight? Thanks

Upon further review, we think there was an issue with the Chrono. Another shooter tested his loads that just chrono'd major, and had the same results as me, @ 155-157pf. We tested on another Chrono today, I tried my original 5 gr loads as well as 5.2 5.2 gr N320 180gr Zero JHP 1.180 OAL 179pf (too hot!) 5.2 gr N320 180gr Berry's Plated FP 1.180 OAL 175pf (too hot) 5.0 gr gr N320 180gr Zero JHP 1.180 OAL 170 PF (YAY!) 5.0 gr gr N320 180gr Berry's Plated FP 1.180 OAL 168 PF (YAY!)

Round count through the barrel is @ 500, so I am sure it is not broken in yet. I was surprised that this load didn't make major!

I am developing a new load for my STI Limited gun. Running a Schuemann 5" AET barrel in it. I started with the load data found here and have the following result 180gr Berrys FP, 5.0gr of N320 with an OAL of 1.180. I am only getting 157PF. Do you all think I would be safe to bump to 5.2 gr or should I switch powders? I tried the load with Zero 180gr JHP loaded to the same length and only got 155PF. Opinions please Thanks

Thanks for the info. They don't measure exactly either of those sizes. But it is slower to the large frame size

My G/F has a Witness Elite Match 40 S&W. Is this a large frame or small frame gun? I want to get her set up with new mags and other gear for the gun, and want to make sure I purchase the right items. Thanks

I am sure it was my fault, I just didn't sense more resistance than normal when it broke, and for all I know, the problem was underlying when I got the press from my buddy. I have loaded over 100K rounds on the LNL with only one part failure (primer guide arm) and this press just seems drastically different and more "fragile" to me for some reason

Didn't you feel any more resistance than normal pushing the handle forward? I did not which leads me to believe it was already cracked previously

OK, I sold my very reliable LNL and bought a 650. It has been nothing but a pain in my a**. Tonite A 40 case got jammed in the shell plate and broke the crappy plastic shell plate advance part. I took the shellplate off and cant figure out how the hell to put it back together and can't find the spring that is supposed to mounted to it either. I also can't find instructions anywhere on how to change/replace it. Is this a common thing to break? For all the good press these things get on here, I am amazed by the amount of plastic on this press, as everything but a guide pulley for the primer feed was metal on my LNL. Aside from the case feeder, I am not sure I am sold on this press. Dillon took care of the warranty parts this morning, but I will still have to see what happens when I have it up an running. I know there are growing pains as with anything new, but my experience with the LNL VS the 650 favor the red guys. I like the tool heads for the 650 and the case feeder is the best out there period, I am just undecided as to the mechanics of the press itself. I know the 650 is the best selling progressive out there, so maybe it is just me in a moment of ire that dislikes it so much. I will post in the classifieds if I decide to sell

Having a few issues getting my 650 set up. I am loading 38 sc with Starline brass. It is not advancing properly for every position on the shellplate. I get 4 good, then the 5th is off and I have to line it up with the primer station by hand, same one every time. If I take the shell plate off and reinstall it, it does the same thing, but not the same notch on the shellplate. Also having issues with it popping cases out while seating primers, and the power drop seems to be "drifting" during loading. I had a LNL Ez-Ject and sold it to buy a 650. I am ready to buy it back. Not real happy with this machine

Where can I find the K40 magazines? I google it and come up with nothing but the Kahr K40? Thanks

Ok I am totaly in the dark on this one as I am an STI guy and no nothing about the EAA/Tanfoglio guns, so please be gentle regarding my possible blatant stupidity . I am trying to help and friend get her .40 up and running and the top coil of the mag spring right under the follower on both of her factory mags keep catching over the top of the tab on the front of the mag tube. I can't seem to figure out how to keep this from happening. Please help? Thank You

I agree with this statement, but there is a flip side. "If I was shooting 40 I wouldn't have caught the perf on that damn no shoot!!" I appreciate everyones input on this. I still haven't purchased a gun yet. I have a friend that let me use his 45 for a short time, and I think it just cycles a little too slow for me. I am used to the quick slide speed of my Open and the quick and snappy slide speed of my Limited guns.

I had a female LNL bushing go bad in my press. Tom at Hornady got the new part, plus an extra male bushing, locking ring, and shim in the mail to me right away. This is the second time I have had to get a press component replaced and I have to say the quality of the press and the service I have received has rivaled that of a very familiar blue press manufacturer!! Way to go Hornady! Now if I could just find some of those damn Zombie Max loads in stock somewhere!!!

My son and I shot the match for the first time. We had a blast. Great stages, great squad, great prize table and the weather cooperated!! This will be a "MUST ATTEND" for us from now on! Good job guys!!

I tried 5.7gr 7625 with Zero 180gr FMJ with an OAL of 1.185 out of an STI Tactical 5.0. Didn't make major. Was running @ 855-865 FPS, with one spike to 904, which gets me a PF of 154-163

I am planning on "dabbling" in Single Stack division in USPSA next year and am wanting to either build or buy a high quality match gun. My inital thought is to go with 40 S&W so I don't have to buy equipment to load another caliber. What are some of your opinions on 40 S&W vs. 45 ACP in SS? Advantages - Disadvantages? Thanks for the input!

We have been using the spinner as part of our handgun matches here in Las Vegas. We know it's not a legal USPSA target, but we are shooting Level I and are playing with ways to score it that could someday be used in a "sanctioned" pistol match. The main goal is to score it so it will benefit those that can, but not heavily penalize those that can't resulting in a stage that could potentially destroy the overall results of the match. I think this is one of the funnest targets and most practical targets ever designed to shoot. We even tried man on man with two spinners , allowing you to stop your competitors from spinning if you dared BTW, if you try that one, make sure you bring a case of ammo to the line, you might need it LOL!!! I sue it to practice transitions, setting up a IPSC A/C zone steel 10 yards to either side of the spinner. The routine is engage the spinner (top or bottom plate, no max on rounds), transition to one of the a/c for 1 shot, back to the spinner (obviously opposite what you started with again no max on rounds), then to the other a/c for 1 shot. Keep this up back and forth until it spins. The only rule is if you miss the spinner plate, you can't transistion again until you hit it, and you can't engage the opposite spinner plate until you hit the a/c. This has been a great excercise. My best doing this is 9.63 shooting an open gun with a big stick, no misses on the swinger and no reload.

Is it too late to jump in on this one? lvipscshooter A64139 - Open 71.53%

Open B Class 4.93 down 3 points for a 6.4908 HF Classifier calculator says its a 83.4528% run, classifiercalc.com CM Calc says its only a 72% run. Which is correct?
