No comment about the weight, but, when I was in the Army I had zippers installed in my boots and they lasted thru the rest of the Army and for a number of years afterward,

Try some .358 bullets.

The Lee balance beam is very accurate, best for checking loads, a little slow for a lot of loading.

Good Result !!!

Try small rifle magnum primers.

Nobody knows, that is why it is Magic !!!

Only during the day - and night !

Ken6PPC: I had the throat lengthened so I could load a little longer, but, no chamber enlargement. I only use one brand of cases per caliber so the cartridges are pretty uniform after loading.

I use .358 (coated) and have had no problems and very good accuracy.9mm This is in 9mm.

Folks - don't hold your breath !!!

Or get a S&W model 41 and have fun.

Yes, that is true but I don't think it would be very competitive, I did shoot one back in the 80s but the times have changed. Of course, Open Class - or any - did not exist then.

I carry a 1911 and it would seem that quite a few people do, it's unfortunate that you can't use one in CO.

Run a brass cleaning brush in and pull it out backwards, bristles with catch on case and drag it out. [from the chamber end, of course]

Ok, thanks.

Stafford: Where did you order them ??

I'd think "holding down the sewage" would also be a good idea !

V (Vic) We may have well met, I attended a lot of matches all over the Country, mostly Western, in the late 80s and 90s. Also went to a number of matches - mostly Nationals - at PASA in Illinois. The first match I ever shot was the Nationals in Dallas back in 83 or 84.

Well - glad it's not a canoe.

Looks a lot like mine - which is an LAR upper.

Don't use Titegroup.
