Looks like a ton-o-fun!
But, can somebody help me figure out why we don't have more 50 round stages in USPSA / IPSC?
*warning the statement below may cause severe discussions amongst a few of you *
And don't say Revolver Division, because they compete against their own kind.
The thread will get closed if I answer.

I'll get a picture of it up. It's a $40 bag with wheels I got from Target. Holds my Shooters' Connection bag, spikes, belt, etc. with zero worries. It pretty tough too as it's been to a lot of matches & classes.

Well...first I didn't think you were that old.
Second, I'd say you wouldn't have much of a legal leg to stand on, since you don not have a right to compete and that's the basis of your argument. If it's owning a particular rifle that is deemed an assault weapon, then I'd say (purely Devil's Advocate) that you made the decision to move and sell that rifle (that I'm guessing you did the secondary Assault Weapon registration on).

Option A is what I've done. Didn't know there was a different way.

Special match my a$$. That looks like a normal weekend at Norco.
Miss you guys!

On the 1050 or 650, I'm standing. On my single stage, sitting. I'm tall as well (6'-3") but it's due to the stroke of the press is why I sit/stand.

...I could launch a 190gr pill at 2710 fps.....
Holy crap!

With 168's, 2750 should be good. If you wanna hot rod a little more, then better.

Shhhh....can't say that Bobby.

No way. That crap is overpriced and you don't get that much better in results.
Redding Type S FL/Competition dies and a RCBS Rock Chucker (until I get the setup done for my 650). John Whidden, David Tubb and the US Palma team all use Dillons...so can't be all bad.

No worries on the 168's. I won't touch those. 175's or bigger, or 155's.

I made my own by just adjusting a case basically sizing a case to have almost no neck tension. Hand press a bullet in and then feed the round, gently, so the bullet doesn't get caught in the lands. Back the round out but be careful to not have the drag while drawing the bolt back and then do not allow the ejector to pitch the round out.
Worked like a charm.

It was only the one time and I learned my lesson.

Considering a major career change and want some input for BE.com'ers.

Bennie's DVD is awesome! I like the end segment on breaking down the rifle. Shooting techniques are top shelf (as I've also done a class with him and will do more in the future). You definitely can't go wrong with it.

Sorry for your loss man.

Your rifle might come with JP's video too. That's a GREAT resource for learning AR specific maintenance.

I go back to "basic" calibers 'cause in a pinch...I can almost always find ammo for a 243 or 308. 260 is not always at Wal-Mart and good luck with 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5x47.

Sooo....prepped a bunch of brass today and man...ALMOST made it through without a scratch.
For the record, I've never done this "accuracy" reloading junk before so brass prep and the hazards are pretty new.
1 - Got the brass resized in my high speed FL resizer. No issues with lubing as I just used One Shot.
2 - Trimmed them all to length with the cool Lee Zip Trim, under the recommendation of a friend. Believe it or not...that thing works!
3 - Then inside chamfered, VLD chamfered and then outside chamfered. No hiccups at all.
That's when things went downhill. Started uniforming my primer pockets and the SECOND case in I put my index finger on the mouth of the case, pressed down on the tool and then spun the drill.....
For those that don't know, the case mouth is rather sharp after doing steps 2 & 3 at this point and it sliced in to my finger like a hot knife through butter. Stefanie comes running in to the room at the distinct sound of me in pain and does what any good dental person (i.e. instead of a medic) would do...see blood and ask what to do? I then get up from the work area, rinse my hand and then find that as a medic, there are no freakin' Band-Aids in the house (if that's not Murphy's Law I don't know what is). So...it's a pretty good bleeder anyways and a simple dressing wouldn't have done much. Tied a local tourniquet, dressed it and then continued on with my brass prep. There's a nice, perfect 30 caliber skin flap on my finger.
After about 10 minutes, I loosened the tourniquet, changed my dressing and then deburred the primer pockets.
Voila! 50 fresh cases ready for load testing. Oh...and for what it's worth, Precision Mic's (i.e. for measuring OAL off the lands...suck!).

Get Dillon on the phone and work the mechanical part of the problem out with them.
As for what to do in the mean time...well...there's always going to a Forester/RCBS/Sinclair trimmer. I'm playing with the Lee Zip Trim (a.k.a. outboard motor) and it seems to do the trick rather well.

Great note about Reggie. Must have been some newbies that didn't know Norco-style. Heck...even if it wasn't a "300" match, I always figure that when I go to Norco, I have to bring around 400-500 rounds of ammo.
Miss you guys.

Just keep it a 243. Way better than a 260 and if you throat the barrel to take the 115gr. DTAC's, you're in there with better wind and velocity.

I like full length resizing virgin brass instead of neck sizing.

Could you give us more notice next time.
And personally, I think next weekend (when I'll be down there) is a better choice.Rich
