Ktulu

I have a Stainless Gold Match in .45 and a Stainless Target II in 9mm. Both have been very good to me.

Good luck at the Mid-Atlantic Tom.

So much bitterness. Tom, where were you Sunday?

This match was TASTY! They're probably getting tired of hearing me thank them but thanks again to the staff. Very professional, very approachable, and very friendly. Also, thanks to the people on squad 3. Great shooting with all of you.

Shooting Saturday, L10 B.

A few weeks ago I was doing some dry fire practice in my basement. After a while I noticed I didn't have my prescription(near sighted) glasses on. After putting my glasses on, I quickly noticed I was unable to bring the front sight into focus with both eyes open. Naturally my first assumption is that there is something wrong with my prescription, but after reading this thread and the posts about lenses with different focal planes, I'm starting to wonder if this is common with eyeglass wearers. Is this a common thing or do I need to make an appointment to see the eye guy?

This is the data from my last chrono run. I'm working up to a 165 power factor. Berry's Hollow Backed RN 185 grain, Remington cases, CCI 300 Large Pistol Primers, 5.6 grains Hodgdon Tightgroup, 1.24" OAL, 5" bbl 865.9 893.5 873 910.5 866.1 869.6 896.2 883.3 862.3 893.8 Average = 881.42 Standard Deviation = 16.39300664 Standard Deviation "P" = 15.5517716 Power Factor = 163,063

I just started reloading this year. Best financial decision I've made. I started out using HS-6 because that's what the guy who helped me get started used. The stuff consistently jammed my gun. One weekend after shooting a match, I shot an IDPA classifier. I had my usuall few failure-to-return-to-battery jams. On the last very last shot of the classifier my gun was so gunked up I manually racked the gun dry and was searching for another mag before the RO stopped me from completely blowing it by firing that final shot. The last hole in the target was, very much, almost the shape of a 1911 pattern pistol. There was a tremendous build up of "filth muck," so much so that with the barrel out of the gun I couldn't force a round into it with my thumb. I solved the problem with WIN 231. While it fixed the failure-to-RTB problem it still had excessive muzzle flash and while shooting outside into a light breeze I still got sprayed with unburned powder. I've since switched to Tightgroup (read the Dillon article like everyone else) and I like it. It cost less then 231, and I don't get an unburned powder shower. In my limited experience HS-6 is the worst and Tightgroup is the best.
