Thanks

I didn't see any times anywhere. What time is registration, shooters meeting, etc?

So no real significance. Thanks.

Last match I had a couple stove pipes. I figured the extractor plunger spring might need to be replaced. While I had the gun apart I compared my extractor to a spare I had to see if there were any cracks and noticed they have numbers on them. The number is on the end of the round part. The extractor I pulled from the gun had the number "1" on it. It's from a gen 3 G34. The spare is from midwayusa, the bag is marked for G34 w/ loaded chamber indicator and the extractor was marked with the number "2" on it. Is there any significance to the numbers?

Shoot a Glock. The mud will keep it lubed.

I got 500 230gr .45s a couple weeks ago to try. Haven't had a chance to chrono them yet but using the same load I use for buyou they shoot really nice. Shot an IDPA classifier and impressed myself. I don't know if it was the bullets but I certainly cannot blame them.

Same here.

I ordered a 550b setup for 9mm and another conversion for .45 on 1/15, received everything except the .45 dies which are in the mail. Looks like they are holding true to their 6-8 week back order. Stay patient.

1/15/13 Ordered a 550b in 9mm plus 45 conversion, dies and quick change kit. Shipped the 45 conversion the next day. Shipped $110 worth of parts yesterday. They said they are at about 6 weeks back ordered.

Bet you that brass will fit in a scrap bucket just fine. Already there.

So I loaded some new rounds with different brass (federal and some other mixed). They all work fine. One thing I did notice is the MFS brass that wouldn't go in was also very difficult to put into the moon clips. Everything else was easier. Thanks

The moon clips are good I think. None look bent, I have some new Wilson Combats and some new ranch products; same problem. The rounds drop freely into the cylinder without the moon clips. Up until now I've been loading a few dummy rounds to practice reloading. I was using some "MFS" headstamp brass. They seem a bit wider at the base. I'm going to work up a few more using federal brass to see what happens.

I have a 625-2 that I can't for the life of me get my reloads to go all the way into the cylinder. They fit the case gauge just fine so I don't think it's the rounds. Sometimes I will get a clip to go in, other times it will stick out about a quarter of an inch. Is it possible one of the holes is not the right size?

I was at a special classifier last year that had a surprise chrono. I hadn't had a chance to chrono my new load before the match so I was a little nervous. My power factor came in at 125.5 for production, no lie. Went home and bumped up the load a little and found a chrono after that.

I have an AA kit I picked up few weeks ago. So far I have 400 rounds through it, 200 CCI Mini Mags and 200 Remington Golden Bullets. I've had two malfunctions, but I also haven't cleaned it yet, so I guess I can't complain. I'm happy with it as a cheap way of training.
