Reticle is similar to the Burris XTR

I have several for 180 gr out of a 6".

I use the Grx die on all the brass. The round is not bulged at the base at all.

I have a case gauge and check them for gun that I will be using them for with that barrel. Like I said they chamber fine in one gun but not another.

I think they want to try and hook you on the show itself first. They will start working in some of the backstory eventually. They even started a little in the last episode with the doctor.

Are the 55's going to be for hoser stages under say 100 yards or do you want an accuracy load for both 55 and 75?

They will chamber just fine in my Trojan, but not in my limited 2011. I checked and the bullets at the base are all .400-.401.

I have had no problems loading in the past with MG and Sierra bullets. I picked up BBI 180gr and have been having some trouble. First off the brass is Winchester and Federal once fired, and some Starline. I am using Dillon dies and have seating and crimp set up in different stations. Everything is going as normal until I seat the bullet. Here are some pictures to better illustrate what is happening. 1st pic is of the brass prior to going into the press. 3.bmp Once I seat the bullet I am getting a bulge about 1/3 of the way down the casing which appears to be where the base of the bullet would be. 2nd pic is what it looks like after seating the bullet.1.bmp 3rd pic is after cirmping.2.bmp I mic'd the case and the spot where it is bulging is about .008 bigger.

Too much sticking up, I would want it flush with the receiver top.

I didn't see anything on benelli website for them. Got a link?

Brownells only sells them by the dozen. Anybody else need them?

That's what I was thinking too. Although much more is going to enter through the loading port or ejection port anyways, but figured if the were out there for cheap I would get some at some point. Thanks Dan.

Any time line on applications and deadlines and such?

I picked up a VR barrel for my M2 Tactical. I removed the rear ghost ring sight from the top of the receiver and the two holes where the sight was threaded in, along with the larger hole in between them are now exposed. I looked on benelli USA and else where but was unable to find anywhere that sells some type of "plug" for them. Anyone got a line on where to purchase them?

I watched it and at this point am not overly excited about. Although I like sci-fi I'm not sure this will turn out to be anything different than the other already previously listed. Hell the only difference between this and Terminator is that they came from space and no Arnold. However I will watch another episode or two just to see where it goes.

I have a cat tail on mine. No complaints.

You had too many standing reloads. Stage 4 when you were running from the 1st shooting position to the 2nd you had plenty of time to reload on the move there and you would have had a fresh mag to get you through the rest of the stage. Same with the SG, if the COF calls for more rounds than you gun can hold (which most do), whenever you have to move from one position to the next you should be stuffing rounds in the gun. Also like on Stage 3 instead of running 5-10 yards to the table and then dropping the mag and racking the round out of the pistol, do it while you are moving so that when you get to the table all you have to do is put the empty gun on the table. You will pick up several seconds on each stage by doing each of these and they will add up for the duration of the match.

The Tactical arrived the other day. Went to do some shooting. 200 rounds through it and I have not been able to get more than 4 rounds fired in a row without a fail to extract. I contacted Para and they told me to send it to them (on my dime) and that it would be minimum of a month to look at it. Needless to say I am not very pleased. Should I send it in, or add the sleeve and Aftec like many others have done?

Don't suppose you could do a close up video of a loading run. That is wicked fast!

There was another post somewhere with someone who rigged a mount up for a SDB to go into the receiver hitch of his jeep. I can't remember where it was posted. He was doing the same thing you are talking about.

Still nothing, any updates on when they will be around?

Looks like both places are sold out of them now. I snoozed and loozed! Anyone know anywhere else that has them in stock right now?

I have a Benelli M2 tactical (I realize it is not the ideal choice but that is what I bought previous to knowing what I do now) I am thinking about buying a 21" vent rib for it and selling the 18" barrel. My question is what should I do about the rear sights. I am not too fond of the ghost ring. Should I go with a xs or 10/22 sight mounted on the rib, or is there another feasible option to mount at the rear in place of the ghost ring?

I didn't understand why the squares on stage 7 didn't get painted. There were other stages where we were painting steel that was caked in fresh mud after each shooter. At the least paint them for each squad. Otherwise it was a great match. The swing and rifle ports were challenging yet fun to shoot because they don't pop up at other matches. After getting soaked on Friday and seeing the forecast of more rain for Saturday and Sunday my spirits were a little down, but mother nature was on our side and Saturday turned into sunscreen instead of rain gear.
