Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I have read Annettes' letter a dozen times and it is mostly clear and concise with the major exception of the main issue which comes down to: The qualifications of the potential Range Master. The Board states they feel he is incapable of running an IRC in a "competent and fair manner" in spite of running a previous IRC, several Regional matches and more monthly matches than I can count. He has proven he is capable; and if not, where are the offers of training and instruction that should have come from his accusers? If there's a problem, bring it to his attention. At the February match the Boards' issue with him was mentioned at the shooters meeting. He had no idea what the problem was and was shaking his head in frustration! Is this how they reward his efforts? Does anyone seriously think he will continue contributing in the way he has in the past? I attended my first IRC in 1998. Even that long ago somebody there mentioned that ICORE was what USPSA used to be like; I hope we're not going down the same path.
  2. Toolguy: They're a tapered hole and I'm not real good with the micrometer thingy but they're about .35 center to center, .25 at the top of the hole and .175 where they enter the bbl. Seanc: They're not that bad really, I've shot Major 9 and safetyed behind many of them and I wouldn't put them in the same class. And I've chronographed them many times with the Ltd gun and I was really surprised at the small difference in velocity. Usually less than 25fps. Remember, I'm using lead bullets and I don't know if that matters. The lead is self cleaning in those hybrid holes, not so with a comp. You have to dig the lead out of a comp every 100 rounds. I'm just too cheap to buy jacketed bullets.
  3. I have two 627s, one with 5 hybrid holes and the other stock. Both are standard 5 inch slabside bbls. The ported bbl had the front sight removed so the holes start about a half inch from the muzzle. I was REALLY apprehensive when I sent the gun to my smith to drill the holes thinking, "Oh my God, what have I done?" I have been shooting both of these in ICORE matches for 4 or 5 years and can say from experience that there is a noticable difference. The ported bbl definitely has less muzzle rise. I shoot 158 gr. lead at medium velocities mostly but also do some pin shooting with 180 gr. lead at 1000 fps. It's a little more obnoxious with the pin loads but not that bad with the medium loads. I also have a shooting buddy that has the exact same setup and he has never regretted it. I'm going to be at the IRC and you're welcome to try them out and compare them.
