  1. Nice! jmorris. How long where you loading before you put that together?

    I'm thinking Alaska is the place to be for fishing and hunting. I just don't see a 22LR being enough gun. 12ga. with some of each, bird shot, buck shot, and slug. And than maybe a sword for backup. :lol:

  2. You have check all the bolt, nuts and screws? I've had the arm with the plastic square come off the powder bar then pop back on it because the bolt was lose. I also keep an eye on the rebound bar to make sure its in adjustment. And I double spring the powder bar.

    And I always keep the kids out of the loading room. :lol:

  3. We have classes for RO and SO's, with that said. Patients is a virtu, as an RO, SO or Competitor.

    I ran around with a gun my entire life, well not the first 8 years :lol: . When I first heard about USPSA and that there was a jump test, (that was in the nineties). The Guy Scared me off. I told him,Troy a local gun dealer, he was nuts! Kept me out of the sport for 10 or more years.

    New shooter's need to be handled with kit gloves so their feelings and ego's don't get hurt! and for sure so that they are not embarrassed. Because we want our sport to grow, right!

    I'm not saying let them run wild on the range. I'm saying, it's not my Marine Corps boot camp. :cheers:

    At our ranges, we make all new shooter's watch a match first. Than if they com back, they get a short class on the range commands and safety rules. That is it. And in my opinion that is all they need to start. The RO or SO needs to be vigilant and do their job with the Newbies. They, the RO or SO keep everyone safe, is that not why they are there? Than, if the Newbie comes back, we strongly recommend that they take the RO or SO class to help them understand the sports better. I find that Newbie's are alway more aware of safety, to the point they go ultra slow.

    My point being, better RO's and SO's make us all safer on the range and a sport that is pure joy to participate in.

  4. I can't get 500 rounds done while loading on any "hand loader" with out some sort of problem occurring. I can see a lot of problems with both types of machines. Primers drop, bad cases, bullet drop are just a few. When a stall happens, what will break?

    Spend the $40k and get an Ammoload. :bow:

    Good Luck

  5. I think the winchester brass is softer than it used to be. I have been noticing a lot of bent up rims on the once fired I have tried to use. Which makes me wonder if the pockets are, shall I say deformed after firing? I don't have a casepro so they go to re-cycle.
