Should not be happening. Would only occur if the lip and ledge that interface are damaged. New insert should fix you right up unless the actual metal portion of the magwell has been fairly severely damaged...

Steiner 1-4 P4Xi is a solid scope for just a little more money. Its not just about the "X's", gotta be able to see clearly through the glass for X's to matter.

Fastest powders with heaviest bullets are the recipes that we generally perceive to have lowest felt recoil... So, you can go to heavier projectiles, 185gr, 200gr, etc. You can also look at other fast powders like Solo 1000, Ramshot Comp, etc. Caveat - heavy for bullets with fast for caliber powders can spell kaboom if not managed carefully. Your longer OAL's will help to some degree...

Seems that you should be in the correct neighborhood for sure. The snag with that projectile profile in general is that the ogive is relatively short and you reach the full diameter fairly quickly from the tip of the bullet. Thats what limits your OAL. A more standard round nose profile has a longer taper from the bullet tip to the full diameter portion of the bullet and can be seated out further to allow greater OAL options.

Pretty solid for the money, but better glass 1-4 can be had for just a little more cash...

Econ 101, y'all

AR Gold also left off list and excellent! Of the few you mentioned, agree that CE is nicest feel.

Looks like some kind of cross between a Miculek and Lantac... It has no "up" ports though...???

Chris at Ready Tactical has excellent IDPA-legal holsters!

Bullseye, Red Dot,

It is a shame that this type of stuff is so challenging, especially for revo... I keep thinking about giving it a try, but there are just so many little nuances that make it even harder than it has to be... A while back I got to watch Hopalong run a 625 in a few local USPSA matches in North MS and it was pretty impressive considering that he was loading 3-4 times as much as anybody else. Moons that fit brass well and LOTS of practice seem to the ticket! ...once you figure out what's actually legal for carriers...

Agree that 17-18# MS is about right for the average competition gun. Also agree that it sounds as though something is wrong. Was the gun recently coated and maybe some coating or other debris got inside the MSH causing extra friction? Does it actually have proper MS cap and such? 12-15# on the recoil spring depending on how light the ammo is that you're planning to run...

I greatly prefer the look of the button-up "polo", but its hard to argue with the adjustability of the zipper. You didnt ask about collar or not, but I would also advocate for having an actual collar vs some of the styles that are mostly without these days; it provides a little more sun protection for the back of the neck.

Right, but seems that it would've been a bit more succinct to say, "Gaming a classifier is NEVER grounds for DQ."

Sadly, not a very definitive answer. IMO, should have been answered more definitively based on the facts that were shared by OP. Then he could've added other info. Most important detail being that the simple act of tanking a classifier(whether intentional or not) isn't a DQ-able offense.
