    Hello from Paducah,Kentucky

    in Introduce Yourself

    Posted

    While our club is not real close, we've had people drive down from Paducah in the past. Memphis Sport Shooting and we play IPSC, IDPA, Steel Challenge and Three gun along with Cowboy so there's something for everyone. Check the Web site at Memphis-SSA.com for times and dated of events as well as directions.

    Come play sometime. Memphis also has some outstanding BBQ and I might just try Brad's for lunch.

    I was in TKD back in the 80's and 90's and would come to Memphis for tournaments & seminars and

    made some very good friends.

    Welcome to the board...and my hometown!

    I think the "shooters supply" there has some sort of action pistol but I don't know exactly.

    Best BBQ in Town - Starnes...just in case you didn't know yet

    I live about 5 miles form Shooters Supply that where the Jackson Purchase Rifle & Pistol Club Range is at.

    I have been a member for 2 years,but haven't been to any of the match. I do go and shoot a lot.

    We do eat at Starnes BBQ sometimes. We like Backwoods BBQ A little better.

    Thanks for the welcome

    Just sign up today. I have been on handloads forum for a couple of years. I was looking at buying a XL650 and someone there told me about Brian's website and he was a great guy to buy from. So here I am, order the XL650 last week. Not much to tell about me. I just shoot for fun at the local gun club. I have 4 .45's auto and only shoot 2 of them. The other 2 are just because I guess. LOL This forums has a lot of great info.

    Thanks Marty

    Who uses a taper crimp die with their set up?

    I should have mentioned that I am using a Hornady 3 die set and I currently use their die that crimps and seats the bullet at the same time. The problem I'm having is that some of my reloads will not fit in the chamber of my 625... I thought perhaps a taper crimp die would offer a more consistent crimp / final product that an all in one seat / crimp die.

    I have a kahr W45 that has been a big problem on reloads not fitting in the chamber. I can only use .451 dia bullet and I use the Lee FC die and set oal to 1.245 to 1.250 using 4.5gr IR 700X, zeor 230gr fmj bullet.

    I really like the Lee factory crimp die. It provides a consistent "pull pressure" and there is a carbide sizing ring at the mouth of the die to insure that the completed round meets at least maximum tolerance for caliber. This crimp type also reduces the issues with case deformation that an overenthusiastic roll crimp die can produce if there are variations in case length and malleability. Taper crimp dies really don't provide the consistancy as there are variations on wall thickness of cases from head stamp to head stamp. With cartridges that headspace off the case mouth I think you get a more consistent function.

    Redmanfixit, do you use the Lee factory crimp die in a Dillon XL650 press?
