    0.545 is the tap hole size for .575-40, ergo 0.015" thread depth.

    you need enough firing pin / hammer spring to ignite the round regardless of make/model.

    Use a little math and scale your targets.

    No, look inside your sizing die. Unless this is a new technique we've never seen.

    GOF has the best advice, weak hand is learning shooting all over again. As others have encouraged, plan on burning 70% practice ammo for weak hand. You won't fight the sights as much.

    Think hard primers, I run a 19 lb hammer spring on a 2011 and it is marginal (Nelson upper)

    I'm lousy with a wheel gun, can move a lotta dirt tho.

    1960s standard issue side arm was a 38Spl, 5 shots with one make up round. Steel Challenge was an LEO training aid and still should be. Minutia: IPSC/USUSPA and Steel Challenge all started in Fawnskin, north side of Big Bear lake.

    I would like to see 8 mystery stages, only the RO and Shooter can see the stage layout. Steel has turned into a game, that is not it's intent.

    .575"-40tpi, any machinist will tell you this thread depth.

    LDF is a great club, several match locations, multi-gun and have hosted Area matches. Visit the guys at Norco Running Gun too.

    Apply pressure to the base pad, then cycle slide. If it works, it's the mag release or the position in the frame. edit: if the mag is too low in the frame, the bullet transition will be held back by the mag lips.

    Steel Challenge, with movement

    I'm using STI gen 1 super mags for 9 major

    Look for a 450 or 550 seller looking for the new hots, might get a bargain.

    Don't use the RD, 3mm screws are meant to attach the sight not rack the slide.

    Fast burn powders are not meant for ham handed reloading. It's fast for a reason, don't expect AA7 forgiveness. If Betty Crocker sez only this much baking soda, experimentation on your part may not be good for the oven.

    Makes sense to me . . . . .

    See if Kimber has a reduced lb recoil spring, often 22 conversions are sprung for hotter loads. Marvel and Nelson Custom may also have springs.

    Nothing replaces actual firearm practice, but airsoft isn't a bad alternative. Good friend has a steel challenge course in his garage. Uses garden netting behind the plates to catch and collect the 6mm BBs.

    Go to the pound, a loving home is where a good pet should die.

    I use clays for 9, 40 & 45. Nothing wrong with trying new powders, but my 8lb jug still has a few lbs left. 98, talk with your squad members. There's ready info on the hoof.

    Low pressure loads don't fully expand the case against the barrel chamber. Think blow by. If your load cycles, feeds and hits where ya aim you're way ahead of a lot of people. Worry about minutia when it affects score.

    Try a thou more crimp, might help burn that powder
