You look a bit peeved in the pic Jon, did someone steal your beer???? Vince, thanks for the goodies, you rock!

Erik, I will be driving through Indy Sat the 11th, then through Indy again on my way home on Sat the 18th, and will be in my wife's new minivan, so I have plenty of room. He's more than welcome to ride with me.

I used to have that set-up and I could not see 22 holes @ 300 yards, maybe at 200 yards on a calm, mirage free day.

I plan on doing that, with the intent of gradually increasing the powder charge. My ultimate goal is to eventually get used to the heavier recoil so I can take advantage of the power, but I want to do this in the most comfortable fashion possible Don't get me wrong, the stock Hogue grips aren't bad, and my Miculek grips on my K & L frames feel beautiful , but I have little experience with heavy thumping revolvers and thought perhaps there was one clearly superior grip for the application. Maybe I'll just save the money I would have spent on grips and invest it into more bullets.

I am considering retiring my stock Hogue grips on my 4" 629 and am looking for something that can tame the recoil a bit. Or maybe, from a recoil point of view, the stock ones are the cats meow. What do you guys recommend? What I currently have as options are the Miculek grips, which my small hands love the feel of, or these Skeeter Skelton style grips: http://www.sixgunner.com/blumagnum/default.htm I know I do NOT want any Pachmayr's, nor anything with a covered backstrap because I have small hands. Thoughts? Are my stock grips the best already?

Skywalker, E-mail heading your way.....

Whatever the case I'll be there Probably shooting Sat AM.

How fast would you guys say his reloads in that video are?

Looks like I'm in Squad 7 with Ross Carter. I'm looking forward to meeting you Ross.

I am unable to make it Saturday as planned because my C-more no longer likes to stay mounted on my gun. It's a long story, but EGW said they could do their welding magic and have me ready in time for the Nats. I'm glad this happened now and not at the Nats.

I'm in. Maybe we should have an AWB sunset party

It's 5 hours one way for me to EH, I'll drive that far for the Area match, but not for a club match

Fredericksburg or York. Both have the experience, space and know-how to pull it off. Topton has done a good job, but it's time the match moved to a different location. I have never shot at East Huntington, so I kinda ignored them when voting...

I overanalyzed this dilemna......initially I had a 50 yard zero, soon went to a 25 yard, and now, due to a few missed head shots, have settled on 15 yards. So much of our "precision" shooting is partials and head shots at less than 15 yards it is advantageous to sight-in at that distance. I have been shooting ipsic for a lttle over two years and, much to my disappointment because I love a challenge, have NEVER shot a 50 yard stage I use this to study my trajectory: http://www.eskimo.com/~jbm/ballistics/traj...traj_basic.html

Some states have fire codes as to how much powder you can have. I have a fireman friend whom I didn't believe, but he made a copy of the reg for me, it was something like 5 lbs of powder.

That latest one that dropped in at 1.25 lbs was a tri-glide disconnector, but usually I use whatever name brand disconnector I happen to have laying around.

I usually drop in an EGW sear, Koenig hammer, SV tri-glide sear spring, no fitting and get 1.5-2 lbs, with slight creep at first which seems to go away with some use and Chippy lube. I polish the crap out of the trigger bow, and sometimes the sides of the sear and sides of the hammer (depending on their finish from the factory). AND this trigger job lasts; I have over 7k on my open gun with this trigger job right now. It's rare, but I just dropped the above parts into a Caspian hi-cap frame and got a clean crisp 1.25 lb trigger!! I must say this EGW sear and Koenig hammer where the cleanest I have ever seen, I didn't see the need to polish them.

Try these guys: http://www.nealjguns.com/ss_store/ and tell Shane I said "Hi"

Dude, that is so awesome, congrads!!!

Way to go Dave!!

I'll be there provided the weather holds out. It's been raining so much I'm thinking of building an arc

I can relate to that one....

If the ban sunsets white doves wil be released into the air and all shooters will rejoice, especially us Caspian shooters. I am REALLY hoping on some Caspian 40 mags to shoot Limited with.

I just found out that Fulton Armory is here in MD. They'll do the work for $25.

I am looking for someone to parkerize a Garand barrel for me, an internet search proved fruitless. Was hoping for someone on the MD/VA area. Anyone got any leads?
