I did catch the cameo in episode 6. There have been a couple of other flashes that I thought were scenes from the original as well - mostly when they are down in the old areas. Futureworld is new one for me though.
-
Thanks guys. I had read a bit about the ILS and it seems a good idea to replace it. Looked at that Brazos tuned trigger group which seems like a nice drop in sans getting a trigger job done.

The original movie was in 1973 with Yul Brynner as the protagonist. In the that movie there were three worlds - Western World, Medieval World and Roman World. I recently re-watched the original and it was pretty rough. As a kid of course it was amazing. Had the same experience watching the original Tron when the new Tron came out a couple of years ago.

They are indeed screaming busy. Keep trying and/or leave a message/email and they will call you back. As an alturnative, call Arnzen Arms in Minnesota (952) 944-1875. Not sure of the relationship, but they are very well connected with JP and where I go when I've ordered a JP rifle build.

Thanks everyone. That gives me something to work with.

So, they swage sense kinda acts as a two in one sensor?
Correct. On a 1050 (in my opinion) it is the must have sensor.

1050 - SWAGEsense (also replaces the need for an optical decapper)
650 - Optical Decapper

Won a Springfield RO 9mm recently and want to trick this out for my wife as a SS minor & steel gun. Not familar with the gun so would appreciate any ideas on springs, FO, magwell & mags that would work well with this one. Thanks.

Did you just swap it with the Dillon factory one? If so, how are you flaring (bell) the brass? Does the Dillon flares as well? (I installed the MBF funnel from the get go when I bought my S1050)
On the 1050 just use your Dillon powder drop. Got this advise direct from Rick a few years ago.

Lastly, has anyone stuck with the standard Dillon powder funnel vs. the MBF provided one? the MBF funnel sticks to my brass pretty good and doesn't release cleanly, so I get a pretty good hitch in the upstroke. I've read the suggestions on the DA/MBF site, but so far nothing seems to be working. I've adjusted for more swage expansion and even less "belling" at the PM, but the brass stills sticks and takes the smoothness out of the cycle. I am using One Shot lube, and also put some on the funnel also, but it still does it.
On the 1050, stick with your Dillon powder drop. You don't need the MBF drop. On a 650, you will need the MBF drop - if that's the case, try a little chapstick where it engages with the case but stay away from the drop hole or powder will stick to the chapstick.

My club has welcomed PCC with little if any issues. I think one person had to be reminded of the need for a flag.
Each range has a rifle rack on it. Guns are brought to the stage carefully uncased and put in the rack.
When it is time to shoot the rifle is carried muzzle up to the line and made ready to shoot.
After shooting the rifle is flagged carried muzzle up to the bag/case/cart and stored.
No muss, no fuss, no time wasted.
Just common sense generously applied.
Perfect way to handle it in my book.

It is true, however, that this occurred where everyone knew they were to bag and unbag on the line, so they always arranged for someone to immediately bring their bag up at the end of the course of fire.
I think we are all still learning here...including the new PCC shooters.

bagging and unbagging PCC on the line does not slow down a match, or waste any time.
Brett, put a timer on it and get back to me. Not going to get lured into one of your forum battles and get the thread shut down....LoL ;-)

I prefer a flagged PCC being carried to/from a cart parked at the birm (or stagging area) without RO supervision. Be at the line with your flagged PCC and ready to go when it's your turn. Return to your cart (or staging area) with your flagged PCC after the RIC command. Frankly all this unbagging, uncarting, rebagging etc at the line wastes a whole bunch of time and I don't like it.
A bigger problem right now is that there is no consistency with ROs. Even in the same match ROs are telling the PCC folks different things when they come up to each stage. Example: I want to run my stage as stated above, and the next stage CRO wants them unbagged at the line.

I run the PW on mine but I set it up before CasePro offered their own. I have never seen their version on their site, but just give Mike a call and he will set you up.
-
Food for thought....Does it really matter if it's considered a significant advantage or not as long as on a givin COF it is called the same way every time? Obviously more of an issue when you have imbedded RO's vs static RO's at a larger match.
-
There is no such thing as a close call going to the benefit of the shooter. If I see it, it gets called. If I'm not sure, it does not get called. I'm not there to "get" you, I'm there to see you safely through the COF and ensure fair competition within our rules. There are no close calls....and there's no crying in USPSA!
-
Yep. Have the v4 on two guns and they have been rock solid. The previous versions, not so much.
-
N310 is too fast for 9mm in my opinion. Makes a very nice .45 load though. My favorite 9mm powder is N330 if you can find it.

I'm not running a Mark VIII, but even so...
You can run the M die in your pre-process pass. Doesn't have to be at the swage station. I just got my M die, and have put it at the last station in my prep tool head (after sizing/trimming with an rt-1500). Now the pre-process is: universal decap, primer pockets swage, size/trim, then M die for the neck.
There are many ways to skin this cat... If you've already swaged the pocket in pre-processing, then you can use what you want at the swaging station during loading without having to worry about a swage backing rod. Correspondingly, if you've already taken care of the neck in pre-processing, then you can just use the dillon backing rod/expander at the swage station; it's not going to do much/anything to the neck since you've already done it. If you've done them both (pocket swage and neck expanding) during pre-processing, then the swage station becomes redundant.
Makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Question for you Mark 7 users who are running the Redding or Lyman expander die in the swage station. Are you swageing? Seems to me that swageing without the backer might be a problem. Just received my Mark 7 but have not set it up yet.

You will be very happy with the SWAGEsense!
I do not have mine bolted to the bench. I just made sure it was level using the adjustable feet and have not had any problems with stability. YMMV.
Regarding the optical sensor, I have that too. I found the frequent stops to clean the sensor when processing brass to be annoying. With the swagesense installed, I actually have the optical sensor deactivated. I have the low primer sensor which is nice and I would like the bullet sensor when it's available. Hopefully the guys will get it out of pre-production.
