I have had absolutely no issues with the casefeeder in 40 cal on my lnl.
what issues are you referring to?
-
Xtreme 180 grain have been very good and quite consistent, with a spread of about 10 fps out of my SVI, non AET barrel. 4.9 grains of N320.
Using regular LEE dies.

Last year was the first year working and shooting the match for me.
While it is hot... it is not that bad as long as you have some shade... ala bring your own. It is not toooooo muggy, just hot. This year I am hoping it will be better as it is in October and not September.
Just got to remember to hydrate

Stages look great.... there goes bringing 500 rounds of ammo. =P looks like I will bring 800 or 900 and have it shipped. Better start cracking on the press. =)

FYI:
I just booked a room with 2 beds for myself and another shooter at the Silverton.
I did it through Kayak/vegas.com and used the vegas.com facebook page promocode sign up for an extra 50 bucks off.
Total for Saturday through Wed was $234.67. Not bad at all splitting it with other folks.
Thanks for the vegas.com facebook page tip! woot woot.

4.9 grains of n320 for me.
I used Winchester Super Field too, and is a good powder to shoot, only very much temp sensitive. (inverse).

yes.
Last year I brought 500 rounds and I only had like 50 left over... that included going to American Shooters to blast 50 to 75 rounds to sight in.
This year will be mailing 600 rounds... just to be sure. =P

I absolutely agree that the competitor sweeping any body part of anyone should be a DQ... however my big problem with this example is....
If the RO jumps in front of the competitor who is focused on shooting or going through the plan, even purposefully, resulting in a DQ... is much like suicide by cop.
The RO is not supposed to be forward of the shooter, and if he gets caught behind, I as a shooter would just stop and request a re-shoot, however unlike sweeping yourself, you cannot control the actions of other people. Disqualifying a competitor for actions of another individual is hardly fair and not something I would want to see happen.
In regards to a competitor sweeping an RO.... he would be DQ'ed for breaking the 180 before sweeping the RO if the RO was behind the shooter as he is supposed to be.
Put it this way... if the RO sticks his hand and waves it in front of the shooter's gun.... the competitor swept the RO, so should the competitor be DQ'ed for sweeping even though it was all due to RO's actions, or is the shooter supposed to read the RO's mind?
If we accept that the shooter cannot read the RO's mind, how can we punish the shooter when he is doing what is the norm, and the RO is not where he was supposed to be.

Actually, what would be really cool, how about having some articles for clubs and maybe some members, about different props you can build for stage design.
-
According to USPSA's web-site, the organization is looking for articles for Front Sight magazine, click here.
So I was wondering what sort of articles do people most like to read ?
Is it the match reports, competitor bio's or product reviews, or something else ?
As a few others mentioned... articles and training tips from top level shooters.
Less on Europe, more on matches in the United States. (maybe a link online to see videos from the match if avail.)
Reviews would be awesome.
How about a section or update on what USPSA is doing to make USPSA more mainstream and attracting new shooters?
-
Being an RO, it really bothers me seeing others who don't seem to care. Was watching videos from Serbia open match and found this. lol
The ro seems so aloof.

Thank you very much for doing this!

Having started reloading with Lee dies, I never had this issue until I bought my hornady lnl ap with RCBS dies.
Switched back to Lee dies... never an issue with 40 cal, knock on wood.
The Lee resizing die is typically enough for me, as even for glocked brass, they do the best job of resizing all the way to the bottom of the case. No need for an undersize die, or the Redding Push Through.
For ultimate piece of mind, you can use the Lee Resize die, and then follow up with a Lee Factory Crimp die, which gives it a secondary post seating resize. Works amazingly well, even for my old Tanfo, which had a really tight chamber. For the SVI, the rounds fall in and out of the chamber freely.
While the Lee dies may not look as pretty as say Redding or Hornady..,m they are extremely function.

oooh, there is an episode avail on demand. =)

Shooting looks fairly solid, as a B class shooter myself, I cannot comment much besides what has already been said.
My point that I was going to make was primarily on the RO side... horrid. grossly out of position to see the gun, and mostly are just timer holders. An RO should never be picking up shooter's mags.... his job is to watch the gun! :facepalm:
-
There is no DQ for this. It's a simple stop and a reshoot for RO interference. It happens, but it's not the competitor's fault if the RO gets out of position, and there is no rule to support disqualifying the competitor.

Is the RO nothing more than a stage prop that you can point a gun at and have no consequences? Isn't the shooter always responsible for their gun?
Did the comeptitor purposely turned the gun at the RO?
If the RO is not where I expect them to be.... forward of me... there is little a shooter can do to stop the RO from coming into his line of fire.
Case in Point...
If I am RO'ing a shooter, and I get caught up sleeping, and the shooter jets back uprange or wherever to engage or reengage a target... it is my fault for not paying attention. I am the one that was unsafe, not necessarily the shooter.
At local matches... only if I am running a new shooter, on a fairly safe stage, with no 180 issues or RO traps... will come closer to the new shooter in order to guide if necessary and prevent issues before they happen. Otherwise... I will always be a few feet back and to the side where I am not a distraction to the shooter, but in full view of the gun. If I see a shooter run over a target, or it looks like they are running low on ammo or may run back... there is even more space and I am at full ready to jet back as to not get run over a shooter.
Only one time at a sectional match, was I in a position as an RO, that I felt I was interfering with the shooter and on my own, offered the shooter a reshoot. It was a revolver shooter who was fairly quick and in similar physical fit to me. I was on the full lookout and was in my regular RO position to look at the gun, when all of the sudden the shooter backed up unexpectedly and I was on his 180. He thought he missed a target completely (even though he did not). He nearly bumped me but I was out of his way but not his vision. Personally, if I was the shooter it would of freaked me out a bit, but the shooter apologized to me for startling the heck out of me, and declined the reshoot.
Was it the shooters fault? I don't think so. It was over 100 degrees, we were all exhausted, working the same stage and I did not expect any issues, especially since he shot the stages pretty much the same way as most other shooters.
So the shooter is not always responsible for their deadly weapon? Just depends on the circumstances?
The shooter is responsible for their firearm, but is it their fault?
If I am shooting targets and an RO jumps out in front of me in front of the muzzle, is it my fault?
Is it my fault if I am driving down the highway and a deer jumps out in front of my car before I can react? I did not line up and run into the deer.
Once again, it is not the shooters responsibility to slow down so that the RO can keep up with him.

I cannot fathom why it is the shooters fault that the RO cannot keep up.
As an RO... you really ought to be able to pick up on small signs that the shooter may back up...
1. You see a magazine drop off of a competitors belt and he may not have enough.
2. You see a competitor over run a target or take it in a different order.
2. Competitor leaves an activator or a piece of steel up.
All of those are big warning flags to stay cautious and at any point be ready to run the hell back as the shooter may back up.
An RO's job is to be invisible.
And I fully agree on the match management aspect of it... put the right RO's on the right stages and squads.
Just recently, was at a match where you have to go downrange, then come back up range shoot a bunch of targets, then go back downrange... Quite a few of the RO's were caught, and the competitor was back uprange faster than the RO... Fortunately targets and RO were on opposite sides. Then again, some of it is also stage design.

Brian,
Bump up your load to about 5.1 or 5.2, especially with Precision Delta.
My N320 load out of SVI was 5.1 grains, loaded out to 1.18. No accuracy issues. Right now, I am shooting Extreme Plated, and have it down to 4.9 to make 170 pf.
I am also thinking crimp... a little too much?
-
Extreme Plated Hallow point... basically an fmj round nose 40, with a hollow point, no feeding issues at all.

Have your followers or slide stop been modified? This is a fairly common issue which is why many people modify their slide stops and or followers to not lockback at all. This prevents a premature lockback when a round is left in the mag.
Neither have been modified.
SVI locks back on regular mags with regular followers, will not lock back on the SVI Red (high cap) follower. Locks back on stock mags with the big black follower.
Grams Follower/Spring.... locks back with 1 round still in the mag.

Hey guys...
question, I am sorry if this was covered before.
At a local match, just switched to shooting L10 to practice for nationals. After 3 stages, I thought someone was messing with me (pulled one round out) when my gun went into slide lock when it should not of... on the last stage I noticed the mag and it still had one round left in it.
Shooting Limited the past year or so, I seldom had to run the gun dry, and when I did, I would of use my SVI mags which run flawlessly.
So, what would cause this?
The mag is a 140mm STI tube, where I replaced the guts with a Grams Spring and Follower, dawson basepad.
I do not know if this happened before as I did not pay attention, just that mag fed reliably. I would of reload before the mag went empty.

Makes sense...
there was a fairly fast, but tricky stage at the local club match, shooting around barrel, where another barrel covered most of the target. Actually started paying a bit more attention to each shot as opposed to going a few steps forward, and only dropped 2 charlies on the course of fire.
Thank you for the advice.
Stock 3 any word on large frame production?
in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
Posted
who is the importer of the stock 3?
IFG or EAA picked it up?
Price point?
I think I may need to pick one up for production and may switch back to the limited for lim/lim 10.
