So when is registration opening?
-
I'm looking at building a 38 SC single stack comp gun.
-
Bbi I run them in a 9 major gun at over 1400 ft/sec and no tumbles
-
It's coating. I run the gold bullets to. Wiped right out after a few min in a50/50 vinegar peroxide mix
-
I have 3 3/16 holes in my trubor bbl and my bbl is notoriously slow
-
I loaded up some 125 gr BBI bullets with the new coating and no smoke. Got 170PF with 6.7gr Autocomp compared to 7.2gr Autocomp with 124gr MG CMJ. Accuracy with BBI bullets was no different than the MG at 20 yards. Same powerfactor with less gas though.
I had the same results and am very pleased as they are great for my shot out bbl

I load with a egw undersized die (cut down lee) Lee seat and Lee factory crimp die in a dillon 650.
No issues what so ever. Watch your crimp. Don't use to much that is key.

Shooting open has nothing to do with the price of reloading supplies. I don't mind paying to play in open. The price of projectiles has no bearing on division as I would shoot the same amount regardless.I'll point out the obvious here, but if you are looking for ways to spend less money, get out of open.
Steve as far a pd issues with quality control and production
I will go into more detail next time I see you but a quick account
Shipments have gone out with 40 and 9mm in the same box. Extreme variations in projectile oal especially on jhp bullets.
I will tell her you why that happened in person.
But they have replaced at their cost and made right every time a customer has had issues which is why I continued to buy from them.
I'm not here to bash a company John hey are good people and try best to provide a good product.
That product has simply become more than I am willing to spend so I will find comparable alternatives
-
Look fine to me
-
I understand that's how capitalism ND free market society works. And that is fine. Because what will happen is that as the prices continue to rise people in our sport will likely start to find cheaper alternatives that produce desired effects and the company will begin to loose money and go by the wayside to companies who produce faster comparable products for less consumer cost.
I for one have shot pd pretty much exclusively. However with in almost 50% increase in price over the last 5 years and various quality and production issues they have encountered I will as a consumer in a capitalist society spend my dollars elsewhere
-
I saw that sarge I am going to order a small pack and give them a try also. I'm really excited about the non Lube groove bbi
-
The price increases lately have nothing to do with increased work force new equipment ect. It's just plain price increases because of demand. In 2010 precision delta sold 124 jhp for around 80 bucks a thousand now they are a 120 a thousand. Why.
I'm just going to become proficient at cleaning my comp
I'm going to start loading bayou and bbi bullets in my open guns.
So I will have some load data later this week with hs6 and autocomp for 9 major and 38 super
-
Is there any alternative to the hotels 135 a night is a little steep.
Especially since a knee injury might keep me from going
-
That's what I would really like a stag 3g upper
-
Groups starting to open up and about 20k rounds on the bbl. Nothing I'm looking at doing right away but I figured hell if I going to change the bbl I might as well use the gun as a base for a 3 gun rifle instead of buying another.
-
I have an m&p 15 and the barrel is on its last legs. I would like to swap in an 18 inch bbl and rifle length gas tube. Is this doable. And is it a dyi job or no?
-
Absolutely agree with Donny. What I do is pick up parts here and there prize table classifieds ect. I have had some awesome guns built for around 2300 like this
-
I had a hammer follow from a broken sear on a reload from slide lock one time.
Run the gun dry slapped in the mag dropped the slide and sent on over the berm. Luckily it was only one round and not the whole mag
I was sure I didn't have my finger on the trigger as I always Index it on the slide stop pin end
Went to the safe area did post trigger job checks and the hammer didn't even pass the depressed trigger slide drop without failing

There is an idpa national?...
J/k
But really dude.. Insecure much

For me, shooting long distance shots aggressively or not really depends on the penalty for missing my aiming point. Here is a good example. If there are long distance or partial targets that have hard cover on them or in front of them, your penalty for missing your intended aiming spot is really nothing more than an extra shot to make it up. If you shoot aggressively and call one of the shots marginal then all you have to do is make it up. If you are cranking out .20 - .25 splits aggressively and need a makup a few shots due to a marginal called shot, you are usually ahead of the game verses shooting slow .50 - .60 splits. Now if the partial target has a no shoot in front or behind it, that bumps up the risk factor on shooting too aggressively and sending marginal shots down range. In these cases I will bias my aiming point on target to center of mass of the available target and still try to shoot fairly aggressively then only make up shots that I call total misses off the target or into the no shoot. Usually this results in .25 - .30 splits for me with rare makeup shots needed.
Realistically I never think of actually pulling the trigger when I shoot. I make a decision on what sight alignment / sight picture is good enough to produce solid hits for a particular target drive to the goal of being patient enough to wait for that sight picture. Once the required sight picture presents its self the shot breaks on its own and the shot is called. I could care less what my actual splits are while shooting a stage. My only goal is getting the gun onto the next target as soon as possible so I can produce a valid sight picture to break the shot.
The actual speed of the shooting has more to do with recoil management and the ability to get the sights back onto target in a valid sight picture condition as soon as possible. The sooner a valid sight picture presents its self, the sooner the shot can break. If you have a poor grip and allow the gun to muzzle flip excessively and return the front sight to an unaligned position. You then have to align the sights again, then get the sights back on target before breaking the next shot. All of that wastes a good chunk of time. Eliminating this waste is what produces fast on target splits with solid hits.
And that my friends you should be the definitive answer...
A good drill for this is Mike seeklander acceleration deceleration

If the timer is running and your not shooting your your not gaining points. It's not how fast you shoot it's how fast you get ready to shoot. By driving the gun in transition, hitting your shooting platform going through the firing cycle... Ect.... Push push push in training. You will expand your control zone. Use the matches to try and compete at just under your expanded control zone. For example I can turn and draw and fire 6 shots on target at 10 yards on avg pushing just recently at about 1.9 with mostly c's and a's Sometimes a D. When I shot roscoe round up today (string 1 turn draw 6 shots between two no shoots) I knew just how hard to push with out being out of control which was 2.5 5a 1 c.
So my point is find your limit so that you can work right under it but bordering on past your control zone and keep working it until your limit becomes your new control zone... Then rinse and repeat

I went back to autocomp due to the extreme lot variations with hs6 it's very similar to me anyway
-
-
elk thats kinda concerning. with lot 2219 I was up to 9.4 grains with a 124 PD jhp to make 173- 175 pf
I would say maybe my bbl (which is notoriously slow )but not with my autocomp load chronny right where it should..
that makes me wonder if there is a bunch of variance even in the same lot.
Sjc titan. The most significant firearm upgrade I have ever experience
in Rifle - Technical
Posted · Edited by Mat Price
I been around firearms a long time shot everything from F-class to for the last 4 years uspsa open. Many times when you upgrade your gun you notice a difference for example going from a 2011 limited gun to a race tuned open gun was pretty drastic but that is really a change on platforms. But I once had a glock 17 I turned into an open gun. With a lone wolf ported bbl and Jager comp it shot much better over stock but nothing as drastic as this.
Going from an A2 flash hider to the sjc titan compensator is hands down the most significant and drastic change I have ever experienced on any firearm.
Using the same ammo same set up only adding the comp
It reduced Rearward recoil by 80% it reduced muzzle rise by 99.99999999999% I mean the dot in the scope doesn't move.
I was able to ring a 6 inch plate at 100 yards with .20-.30 splits. And that's with a stock rock river lpk fcg. Now I did give the fcg a good polish and am running jp yellow Springs
But this comp has truly amazed me.
I just finished the build here is the specs
