      This would be better served as a PM rather than posted as a status update.

    Hi Joe.  Out of curiosity, what did you mean by your one legged man in an ass kicking contest?  

     

    For a C class shooter in Production (shooting a super dooper new fangled bottom feeder), what would you estimate to be the average reload time?  Time between last shot and then first shot from fresh mag?  

     

    Moon clips reload pretty fast.  I'm no Jerry Miculek, but am not exactly bottom of the heap either.  I get compliments wherever I shoot from both bottom feeder and revolver shooters (makes me feel good).  In my particular class, I guess I never figured I was at a huge disadvantage in that area.  

     

    And frankly, it matters little.  For me, its about staying proficient, improving proficiency, competing, shooting with friends, meeting new friends, and having a fine time.  

     

    Do I want to win Rev Div B class?  Do I want to win Prod Div C class with my revolver?  (That is where all of my classifiers put me.)  Sure.  Of course.  But it doesn't consume my life.  I hold nothing back.  My classifiers are honestly shot.  But seems like a lot of match winners miraculously shoot well over their existing classification!  I could be wrong.  But seems that way many times!  (Of course that doesn't apply to GM; those guys are the best.)

      This sort of thing would be better suited to a pm, instead of a status update, where all on the forum can read it.

      Meh doesnt bother me, shooting revolvers with moonloaders  in production is a fart in the wind. Best of luck to you regardless of the butt hurt.

      Heck I felt same way shooting single stack after a few years of Limited,,

      But I am sure there is at least one, one legged dude that is excellent at ass kicking.

      Sorry, I didn't realize that.

    Hi Dave,

     

    A few years ago, I bought 2000 Starline .38 Short Colt for use in my S&W M627 for ICORE/USPSA/steel/etc.  You fixed me up with 25 moon clips.  All was right with the world.  And I've only lost four clips (due to people stepping on them.)   

     

    Recently I purchased 2000 more pieces of Starline brass and loaded some.  Just this morning, at our Steel Challenge match I found out that many (maybe half) of the new Starline brass will NOT load in the moon clips.  Apparently Starline's tolerances have changed somewhat?  

     

    At any rate, what do I do now?  Get new clips?
