    Ruger?

    If it is the SA/DA model then yes. SAO would put it in ESP.
  2. Welcome Jim, Your nearest IDPA club shoots in Greenville almost every Saturday. I drive over from the Sulphur Springs area. Look up www.CCIDPA.com and come join in the fun. See you soon.
  3. I have one in my 34. It has a clean break and very short reset. It is not real light, probably 5 lbs or so. I like the fact I can prep the trigger to a solid wall and then have the trigger break with just a little more pressure. Spendy, but a good trigger. I have about 1K rounds on it with no problems.
  4. What is the F.A.S.T test please.
  5. I get a 128-133 PF with 3.8 out of a G34 at 1.155 oal +- .005.
  6. Ordered a little bit of everything except a press on March 13. Recieved part of the order in May and the remaining items today, June 19. 13 weeks - 2 days.
  7. These guys have what you are looking for. I just bought 5k from them. http://www.bulletworks.com/bulletworks/bulletworks.html Oops, maybe not 180s.
  8. I grew up in West Texas (North of Abilene). I really miss it sometimes.
  9. Sure, why not. He would have gotten a reshoot if the gun had not malfunctioned. If you can find a reason to let a guy shoot, I think you should.
  10. I agree. 71.00 for 2k primers plus 27.50 HazMat per order is too much.
  11. Is 15 cents per bullet a reasonable price for a 55g 223 bullet by Hornady? I was not reloading 223 prior to the silly season starting.
  12. 7 oclock hits are often trigger jerks or flinching. The load seems OK, but N310 leaves very little room for a mistake. Double charge with 310 can be bad mojo. Look at some of the online ballistics programs to see what that load does. You will need the velocity to get a good picture of what is going on.
  13. Splitting might be caused by too much belling at the power fill stage. Bell just enough to set the bullet. The OAL variance is ok, but you can be tightened up with different dies. A competition seating die will give you alot of micro adjustment and accuracy. The Lee factory crimp die is also a good addition. Different powders meter differently. There is a forum here with details on powder the meters well. Search and ye shall find.
  14. I just had the same issue, different tendon, but same area. Strengthen the entire shoulder for prevention. You will get good PT excercises during rehab and you may want to get some professional training to work on your core muscles as well as the upper torso. Good luck, you will be back on the line in no time.
  15. Vihtavuori N350 at 5.8 to 6.5 grains would work as would 3N37 at 6.2 to 6.6 grains. I have seen these avaliable at powder valley much more than some other popular powders.
  16. I get that when I am belling cases a bit to much. The less bell you put into the brass the less sticky it is. Also, what Steve said, that will help Lube will help alot as well, if you not using any.
  17. That is odd, being on the top rather than the bottom where the primer ram might have nicked the edge somehow. I am not sure how something would have struck the top of the hole. I am sure that someone with an answer will be along shortly.
  18. The subject of section R9 is leaving a position of cover. Sub-sections R9.x still are talking about leaving cover. The language could be clarified, but it does not make any sense not to be able to move behind cover.
  19. I think the R9 section is talking about moving from cover at P1, across the open, to P2. That makes the R9.1 and 9.2 make sense. You cannot leave a "position of cover" with an empty gun. If you are moving behind a wall from P1 to P2, that is still a "position of cover".
  20. I would think if unsafe actions are witnessed, it is everyone's responsability to stop the shooter. The stage can be re-set and re-shot, but unsafe actions have to be stopped instantly by anyone on the stage, not just the RO.
  21. Kurtosis? I hope your sample size is large enough to warrent noting the Kurtosis, otherwise you are just living a fantacy. (OMG, I am even nerder than I thought and I don't even have a DC poster!). Of course, limit as n->infinity...but I always divide by zero and blink out of existence for a few minutes, gotta start all over when that happens You got skills.
  22. They said that the print function creates a great deal of activity on the circut board, so if the printer is on you have to wait until the printer has finished before it will register another shot. You can turn off the printer by switching off toggle 7 in the battery case, but if you do that it will not store your string of fire and then print the summary. It will just show the round # and fps on the display. For $595 that thing ought to get up, hand you the printout, refill your coffee, and load your next round before it reads the next shot. Seriously though, they go through all the trouble to set up a robust, two-stage, three-gate sensor array but give it less processing power than a Colecovision? Thirty years ago my Atari 800 would dump a print job to a 4k printer buffer and let me keep working. Which begs a larger question - can someone please tell me how the Oehler justifies a 500% premium over it's nearest competition? It's certainly not 500% more accurate, nor 500% easier/less complicated to use. Are you paying a premium for additional certainty from a 3rd gate? The pedigree of a commercial measurement system? The warm fuzzy from owning the most expensive option? A "peace of mind" dividend that eliminates the equipment as a source of trouble when things don't look right? When I bought one, they were less than $ 350 so at that time, maybe twice as much as the competition. Like all instruments that measure, it is a question of precision & accuracy. The Oehler wins in both areas. For USPSA/IPSC it may not be a good value but from benchrest shooters it is. I picked up mine used for $300.00, so I cannot complain about the price vs. other units. I wish it would feed the data to a computer and read faster, but given the accuracy, particularly for rifle where it can really make a difference in hitting or missing a target, it was worth what I paid for it. It is not as easy to transport, but I live on a farm and chrono out of the back door of my shop, so that is a non issue for me.
