9x45

If there was no CO Division, not Class, then it was not a USPSA match. Local action matches have local rules. I don't use the RMR, but rather a Docter or a Delta Pro.

Are you talking about a DQ or a DNF now? Looks like it has been covered more than once here..

Old dead Simunitions.....

At a Level One match, the shooter can ask the RO for extra help, however the RO should still only use the 6 standard commands per Rule 8.3 Make Ready, not Load and Make Ready. Are you Ready?, not Is the Shooter Ready. Stand by.... (Stop, if required). If you are finished, unload and show clear, not show me an empty gun. If clear, hammer down, holster, not Ok to holster. Range is Clear (not Range is Safe, it's never Safe). If you get an RO who can't abide by the USPSA Rules for commands, tell him you paid for a USPSA match, that you are going to go by the rules and expect them to do the same. If they argue, then ask if they are NROI certified (which is not required at a Level One match), however most RO's are not anyway. If it goes beyond that, then ask for an RO who follows the commands.

newbie, where's the video?

FM, IMT, AmmoLoad all use the same junk step case. MaxxTech is the worst with the thickest step.

Quit playing golf!!! And always load at least one week ahead, not the night before. I load standing up at a right angle to my shoulder, no pain at all. My 550 has an ebay roller handle, my SD has a 2" threaded extension but still with the ball. I don't use case lube but rather tumble in walnut loaded with mineral oil to clean, then in corn loaded with NuFinish car polish. Cases are shiney and slippery and doesn't benefit from case lube (I do use it on .357SIG cases though, but not 9mm).

No primer, no ignition, no squib. Dead primer, no ignition, but still no squib. Good primer, no powder, ignition, and squib. Good primer, good charge weight, ignition, no squib

Todd, primers have nothing to do with squibs. They either ignite, or they don't. Now if there is no powder in the case, and the primer ignites, you have a squib. And pulling the trigger on a squib round will not blow up the gun, it can, however, bulge the barrel. What do you mean by "powder in the mag"? Do you mean residual powder in the case? What powder and charge weight are you using? What bullet weight, shape and material (jacketed, plated, coated,etc) are you using? What's your OAL? What press are you loading on? What brand of primers? Is this the first time you have reloaded anything? If you are squibbing 9s. 45s and 10s, you have an operator error. You never load thousands, or even hundreds, of rounds without first case gaging them and plunk testing them in the gun barrel you are going to use. About 20 or so rounds, and then function firing them to boot. Then do not change anything and start loading now that you know they work. I don't know what you mean by "cheap" primers, but WW primers often look dull. It has nothing to do with function. What do you mean by "Oboma" primers? By the way, it's spelled Obama.... Primers produced today are no different than primers made before or after he was president.

OAL is fine, small frame Glocks can go out to about 1.180". What generation magazines, and what follower part number? Cleaning is not it either, I only disassemble my mags once a year to change springs.

Ben Avery and South Mountain also. Phoenix is Mecca of the competitive shooting world.

They look normal, for any primer. Here is what flat looks like....

Dude, that's a PF of 149 to 156. Way over the Minor Floor. Do you use this load for USPSA?

124 Bayou on top of 3.4 grs TG at 1.100" Goes about 1,040 fps out of my G17 with a BarSto.

I got the SD on the right as match product back in 2001. Both are set up for 9mm right now, although I load 357SIG on the 550 and also .223REM

I still run my old 550 from 1986 and see no reason to change, even at around 1,500 rounds a month. My kid has a 1050 with mr bullet feeder, and it runs really fast until it hits a 38Super, or stepped 9, then it stops.

It's so dry here that sometimes the rain doesn't even reach the ground. This was outside during a pending storm in the mountains.

Close to the Minor floor with reasonable accuracy. Most USPSA shots are 2-15 yards, it's not Bullseye...

True, but I don't see a difference with my crew, but then we have been shooting together for 5 years to over 20 years. No one minds helping out the 2 Division guys.

No different than having 12 shooters on a squad shooting single division than having 9 and 3 of them shooting 2 divisions. You just separate them by a couple of shooters. It's still just the total number of shooters. It takes the same amount of time, IF, everyone helps..... We typically get between 90-140 shooters.

Just a little too humid to load today, think I'll wait till it drops down to 20%RH.......

What's a sector?

how in the world did a round from the next bay or two over make it into a target on the bay you were shooting? I've been fragged plenty of times from steel on adjacent bays but have never seen a full bullet go thru a berm and hit a target....

Won't make any difference if you are new. Shooting is 99% mental anyway, and 1% gun, gear and ammo.
