I have shot several cases of them, they are just as dirty as any other cheap ammo, but they do kick a little bit more than 3 dram stuff

The fact of the matter is they both make good barrels, and WOA will do any barrel profile you want if you order from for like 30 bucks.
But consider this, WOA makes barrels for CMP events at 600 to 1000 yds, at that distance you don't get away with poor craftsmanship.

So would the primer pick-up iron man be loading 10 tubes on every COF.

" Things go the way the mind goes"
That is one of my favorites from Shunryu Suzuki. (I think it's one of Flexmoney's too.)
From the moment I read it, something so simple that I had overlooked my whole life. The true depth of that statement is amazing.

PERCEPTION DOES NOT EQUAL REALITY!
It really is the strangest darn thing. My training buddies and I have all discovered this and validated it on the timer. The difference in a screaming out of control run through a stage and a controlled run where you take that extra little bit of time to get your AA's is almost identical on the timer, and most often faster since I didn't have to make up any missed shots. I also score higher with almost always A zone hits vs. C's and D's.
This was one of the biggest epiphanies I've had in shooting. It really just takes discipline not to go into hoser mode.
Try this. At your next match get a competition with you and your shooting buddy(s) and see who can hit the most A's for the match. Losser picks up lunch. I think you'll be surprised by the results!
I agree with you, what I have found is that when I shoot a lot of three gun matches where all you have to is put 2 on the brown anywhere. This is the most difficult area keep the going into hoser mode in check. There are a lot of times where really accurate shots are required in a 2 gun stage many shooters get miss or really bad hits. I am getting pretty good at seeing these speed traps in a stage and using it to my advantage.

I think Brian sent this out on one of his emails
" Things go the way the mind goes"
It is not easy turning things around but if you focus on the now and have a positive outlook on the things you can control, and take the things you can't control as they come and just let them pass you by. You might have to stop and acknowledge them at times but let them go by and don't hold onto them, it is in the past.
If shooting is your escape, make it fun. Go and do stuff thats fun or just different, try shooting from the hip, with the gun upside down, try trick shots.
It will help your skills and turn things around

Would you attempt to simultaneously learn mountain biking and road biking?
Yes, without a second thought if the goal was to be good on the mountain bike.
No way if the goal was to be good on the road bike.
I don't agree, the 3-gunners of the world sometimes also use 3 different guns on the same stage. And there is no crying about not being used to the trigger on my AR for those 400yd shots.
If you learn how to pull a trigger and learn how to adapt quickly from one to another, that just makes you a more well rounded shooter and increases your skill set. The basic fundamentals are the same.
On the flip side you need to work on perfecting one skill at a time

I have both the 24" JM 930 and an SLP, and both need a little bit of minor work to get them easier to load, but the 930 was $575 and he SLP was $1100. And so far the 930 has been the best running gun of the 2. The SLP took some work on the barrel to get slugs to feed consistent.

I am pretty darn happy with x-terminator for 55gr stuff and TAC for heavy stuff.

The front is the stock mossberg turkey, Ben can't get a pic to you because I still have the barrel. I prefer to use the HiViz comp front sight whenever doing an XS rear, but Ben said his SG was hitting high with the stock rear so I left the front alone and replaced the rear with the lower XS, in hopes that it would now hit poa, if it doesn't then the front will be replaced.
Trapr
Well, if the guy doesn't have barrel, how in the world is the guy supposed to tell me how he likes the set-up. But I will give you call about doing mine
-
Wow, just wow!

I was a mold maker in a previous life, and my punch set of choice are DASCO brand, suprisingly they are sold at home depot around here for a reasonable price. For staking pin holes my tool of choice was a high speed steel drill blank that I ground a 60 point on. But you can also sharpen an old drill bit and get the result.
-
Sounds like you need to size the necks at least, the crimp really does not hold the bullet from set back the neck tension/ inner diameter of the case versus outside of the bullet does 95% of the work
-
That was my gun. I had a 24" non ported turkey barrel with stock flimsy rear fiber sight. I had Trapr replace it with the XS.
That is what I am looking for, could I trouble you for a picture of the front sight also?
-
Has anyone out installed flip up rear sight like the ruger sight on a 24" mossberg VR barrel. I am also interested in fixed rear sight options such as the XS systems. Pictures would really be appreciated as well who did the work etc.
I have tried the try-glo set-up and I really don't like it it.
I am leaning very heavily towards putting a dove front pistol sight on the front an adjustable rear Sti style in the back. But I am not sure it will fit with the contour of the mossberg barrel.
Thanks for help

Try either VV320 4.2-4.3 @ 1.135" out of a G34. But I think you'll get the results youre looking for by going to 147gr bullets.

Top brass, they only do high quality stuff, and the price is fair. But place the order through shooters connection

I have had both the Black Ice and Stingray holste;s. There is no possible way for my gun to fall out of the Stingray holster, because if you are using a tall Dawson front sight your gun will become locked into the holster with the front sight acts like a barb on a fish hook, and no amount of yanking on the gun will get it out the holster.
The guys on my squad were rolling on the ground laughing after watching me try to yank my gun out about 5 times, then I ended up having to take the holster apart to get the gun out.
I won't make the mistake for taking a new holster to the range without a test fit again.

Which ever of the loads is right around 3000 FPS mark, please send any winnings to BE

I think the key to successful shooting at long distances is the mental game. The distance number just gets into some people heads. Don't let it, block it out.
But the other very important part is knowing your hold overs, having an accurate load and knowing how well your gun shoots at distance.
You can't practice long distance shooting with practice ammo, it has to match quality stuff.
When you practice try this
1. Get in a very stable position and take as long as you need to a hit and take the best 5 shots you make. Write down the results, and take a 5 minute break.
2. Then do 5-10 push ups and 100yd sprint, something to really get your heart rate up. Then shoot another 5 shots, taking all the time you need to make hits. Record results
3. Repeat drill #2 but instead of a steal target use paper. This one is wicked hard, record results.
4 You can tune this drill to you're skill level, start out with big close targets, then as you gain confidence make them smaller and move them farther out. Seriously, start at 200 or closer
5. Do each of thes drills twice, a practice session. With a total of 30 rounds, give it total focus, and 100% effort, and you will get better or cuss me up and down.
Let me how it turns out.

Maybe we should step back a minute, maybe we should try a chrome lined stainless barrel with a light contour.
Another reason for stainless, is if it rains it won't rust.
Just some food for thought

It is also important to realize that comps are not just about recoil management, they also play a big part in managing the blast sound of the rifle. For me personally I hate the sjc Titan because of the blast and how loud it is. My choice is the miculek or the PRI quiet comp is my personal favorite

A bullet feeding die also helps a little, but I also where gloves when loading moly

If I recall, midway had them on sale for 89 a box i think, if you could get them to ship in a flat rate box that would be a good price i think.

I would talk to Jojo at JVD Dynamics, he does top notch work.
