Case feeder. Once you have it dialed in, it is good to go. Bullet feeder sucks up a a die station.

And this is why I walk behind and around the course and physically count the targets versus the WSB.
Started counting targets after doing this bonehead move in a few local matches. I think forgetting targets is one of the worst things I can do, especially easy A's.

Great review, only thing bad about the interview was the interviewer.
Weird not to see more CTS in limited/lim 10.
Felt them at Shot Show, and oh my were they sweet. Fit like a glove, especially for smaller hands.

Had a chat about this with EAA's Vice Pres. No plans on doing so, as the president of EAA does not want to mix small frame and large frame guns. So they will, once there is a large frame version of the stock 3.
Now, there is IFG, which is going to try to import more of the competition guns. IFG and EAA are "cousin" companies, whatever that means. This is from Mr. Tanfoglio himself.

That gun will be in the US this year it seems. I am a distributor for cybergun.

Switched out to the lightest of the 3 factory springs that came with the gun. Seems to work fairly well. Will be trying the 10lb and 10.75 and 11.

Yeah man if your press isn't blue you will just bang your head in frustration constantly and very rarely put out good quality ammo
on a side note I think people should learn to load on a non progressive press. Understand the process, what to look for, how everything feels, and learn what you truly want in the future. A turret or single stage always comes in handy for me anyway. In the end you will probably be much more competent than the guy that buys a 650 for a first press.

While cheaper initialy you will end up spending most of you time, and much frustration, trying to get the lee presses to work properly. When you do eventualy go blue you will find out how much time you wasted.
How much is you time worth?

such a stupid comment. Granted Lee does not make the best stuff in the world, but they make 2 things really really really well.
Classic turret press, and the single stage.
The Lee Classic turret is hard to beat for the price, and it is a great press. I feel bad I sold my turret when I went to the LnL ap. Perfectly awesome for small batches, easy to change over calibers, cheap, and damn reliable.
-
The Lee is a great kit to start with. Make sure you get the Classic Turret Kit, not the deluxe, which is an older model.

Precision delta ships quickly, never an issue, and good quality.
As others mentioned, less than a case full, PD has lower prices over MG.

When you have a large forum, sometimes the forum database gets messed up from time to time. =)

To answer the above questions.
The barrels will meet the USPSA rules for Production use unless they change that one too.
They will first be available as Match/Target barrels only, then shortly there after be available as a semi-drop in.
We don't know the retail price as of yet of have a firm delivery.
If you would like to see the first production prototype in the demo gun we're bringing with us to Shot Show, look for us to be loitering around the Smith LE booth at the show. You can't miss me, I'm 6'3" and wearing an Apex shirt.

looking forward to it.

This year at nationals I ran the new k40 mags. 1.145 ran all day long, but seemed it was about tops for it.
180 grain PD fmj, 5.1 gr of N320 made 170 pf.

Or.... just don't click on any emails with links to supposed...
bank accounts
credit cards

Shooting my first Nationals.
Making B in Lim 10.

quite a large number of companies are doing Monday off.
so what CZ? =)

You can, but you are not going to make big bucks.
If you are a website publisher, it is the same google ads, same account, except the ads are on the videos.
People click, you will make money, anywhere from a few cents per click, up to a few bucks, depending on the content.
google has a min payout of $100.

woot woot. Made B in Lim 10.

welcome. Friends live in Dover, and i think they run a match around there.

Voted. Thanks for putting this up.

In my view Production is a "really stock and no 1911s" division - serious competition for people who like stock guns, that happens to also be attractive to newcomers who can run whatever they have now without significant disadvantage.
My idea for Production:
- No mag restrictions
- Major/minor applies
- Minimum 500 units produced or whatever the manufacturer's restriction is set at now.
- External modifications limited to grip tape, stippling, and sights.
- Internal modifications allowed.
- No electronic sights or comps (I am torn on this point, I would like to see innovation like the FNP with mini red-dots as long as it fits in the box and meets minimum manufacturing, but I recognize this would be the real area for the arms race so I reluctantly restrict them).
- Pistol and magazine must fit into a box (box size approximates the size of a common service pistol, e.g. G17 or say USP .45 on the high end).
- Claimer rule - Upon demand, the match and class winners must sell their pistols at MSRP of the base gun to any other competitor. (e.g. you can run a slicked-up Glock with replacement frame and all new internals, but be prepared to sell it for $549)
This division discussion has largely run its course but I just wanted to get the idea of a Claimer rule out there, I think it would set a limit on the amount of modifications while allowing more freedom on the types of innovation.
Your comment of "really stock" does not represent what you typed in the rest of your post.
Claimer rule. HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Seriously? And this would be enforceable how?
-
Same with opera. On the whole though, well worth it.

The flip side of this thing., for those claiming Production must go 15, did a newb ever come to a match, find out they need to shoot limited minor, become so pissed off that they did not come back to another uspsa match because they did not have 2 extra mags for production?
I would venture to guess that most people get started with USPSA by being introduced by their friends. That is how it has been with the 30 or so I introduced, and how I was led into uspsa. The first thing my friends did was tell me what equipment I needed for what I wanted to shoot, and then... if I did not have it, they let me use their gear.
In fact, on njgf, we usually just tell people bring what you got, don't buy anything for your first match, we will lend you stuff, and you figure out what you like and don't like.
So if you want to talk about introducing new people to the sport, why not consider at the club level, or USPSA subsidy, or member donation driven, loaner gear, such as belts, mag pouches, holsters, etc.
For instance, at our local club, we have a very successful CMP Garand match. For $40 or could be $20, they give you all the loaner gear (shooting jacket, shooting mat, range scope, a M1 Garand and ammo). So all you do is show up and shoot.
At any match I typically have a backup gun, and a separate rig for another division, just in case. Just last match, a friend of mine brought is brother, lent him my SS rig, etc. So to attract new people, why not have loaner equipment for them to use.... (instead of messing with a highly successful division with the justification it might be easier for a new person with 3 mags)

My wifey wants to shoot a production like gun with some sort of optic, ie delta point. That is what I am doing for her on an M&P. We do live in ban state... so no STI/SVI with big stick for her.
Modified (IPSC) or Open - 10 would be ideal as per her.
Glock 27 .40 Kaboom this weekend

I loaded on a Lee and used WSF. both good tools.
To me, sounds like a squib, or a light enough charge to cycle the slide, but bullet was not out of barrel. Next click went kaboom.
This could of happen on any machine. The "get a dillon" comments are really stupid and inappropriate here. Its like someone getting into an accident in a bmw and someone telling them to get a volvo.
I highly recommend an RCBS lock out die.
Just a note, the Lee powder measure will never double charge as it has the disc cavities, however it is prone to under charges if the disk does not cycle back and forth completely, sometimes it has a tendency to stick. when mine was new, it did not do it, after about 15k rounds, it started developing it, however it could of been that the powder measure/disk got a tad dirty and was sticking.
