All good advice, but my bet is opening the gas ports will sovle the problem. I've had to open all my remington SG gas ports to make them work consistantly.

Just trying to understand USPSA rules as applied to their matches. I've never seen in all the USPSA matches I have attended, were a foot over the fault line touching the ground was not a penalty & was subject to interpritation. In this case it was an advantage & should have been per shot fired.
Stage 2, would not have been an issue if steel was left to the shooter to make sure of his hits, under USPSA rules, as I understand them. This was not a so called outlaw match with different rules. I liked him also, but still trying to understand their rules as I read them.

Maybe for another topic but applies to the LaRues we shot.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the RO's are not resposible for making sure you hit a target under USPSA rules are they? Wouldn't that be coaching? We don't do this to any other targets we shoot in USPSA. Steel must fall to score under the rule book.
Hits were called on stage 1, & a reshoot was given because the RO quit calling hits half way through.
Shooting over the rail as many did, most had to stand on top of the fault line board & many had their foot over the fault line touching the ground & no penalties were given??????? Answer given was that they didn't apply any pressure to the ground for stability so it was not a penalty, again,?????????????
Stage 2 if an RO called a hit by mistake & it was not they told you to proceed & it was their fault,???????? Again steel must fall to score. Did not hear of this happen, but this was told to everyone in their walk through. How can this be included in a walk through under USPSA rules.
Again just questions maybe someone more knowledgable than me could answer.

Rumor has it that it is as 6.5 Grendel necked up to 30 cal.
They (as in the AMU guys) were definitely using 6.5 Grendel brass and it looked like it was necked up to .30, but we didnt measure. It definitely made major though.
yes it was

Chris, I know we've talked about this already, but a couple additional thoughts:
1. If you're not planning to load and shoot major loads on a regular basis, using .38 Long Colt brass offers no advantage over .38 Short Colt brass. If anybody sees another reason to run Long Colt brass, I'd be interested to hear it. Very few of us have a need or desire to compete with major loads in a 627.
2. I'm going to disagree with 357454's suggestion to use "regular" Hearthco moonclips with Starline brass. The only reason I pay the money for Hearthcos is the tight fit, which absolutely does enhance reloading speed with the 8-shooters. Other brands of moonclips will bind if the rounds fit too tight, but Hearthco moons are machined to the exact dimension and work best when the rounds are tight enough that you need a moonsetting tool to load the clips.
And, Im a really nice guy!!
Yes he is!!!!

87, Chevy S10 4 cylinder. 2.5 liter. The worse motor GM ever built. Motor would ping at any speed & every gear.
Fought with dealer for months & they finally replaced the head. Motor stopped pinging for 20,000 miles then started again. Found a new home after that.

Red, 67 Chevelle. 283 with power gluide trany. Put a edlebrock intake, crane cam & holley 650, set of headers with glass packs. My Dad was a police officer & hated to hear me start it up in th morning for school, told me I was waking up the neighborhood. Fun car to drive.

Inertia or gas? During the match, you won't notice. Pick a gun that's reliable.
But also one that fits you

Wow old post!
Actually a new and improved CLP from an old vendor (FP10) has a new company & better product than before. Weapon Shield Good stuff!!

Carfax information will only show up if there has been an accident report filed by the police. This was told to me by my insurance agent.

Hard to understand why so much trouble with a certain Mfg???????????????????????? I have never heard of so many problems with staking & extraction that as has been stated. I shot thousands upon thousands of rounds through my DPMS & have never had any of these problems. Accuracy & reliablility are outstanding.

I had one on my Leupold MK 4 for several years now & it has been moved many times in a hurry & still works perfect.

I don't understand why pumps and auto SG's are allowed in HM optic class, just make it HMI / pump, and HMO / auto, otherwise you open up a can of worms on who actually won the class, unless you do not intend on separating the SG scores out, if that s the case then why would anyone want to shoot a pump in that division????????
Answered your own question.
As for the pistol equipment, behind the hip???????????????????????????? WHY!!!!!
Agreed WHY, it's not IDPA.

I use HP-38 for my Bianchi Cup load in 38 super. Very accurate powder.

The easiest way I can see to alleviate these inconsistencies is to make the target "hitable"for everyone and let individual skill separate the shooters, if someone can come up with another way, I'm sure we'd all like to hear it. Just remember that it needs to be consistent for EVERYONE.
Trapr
SOF in the years I shot it never had any targets past 300 meters, except for one year & there was one stage you could shoot at 400 & 500, but that was your choice. You could shoot at 100, 200 or 300 it was a point thing for farther hits. This was always a very fun & challenging match for only shooting 300 meters.

I am not into this (fairness doctrin) for less adept shooters
Are we trying to make the new guy happy by easy button?
Oh please...if you cant hit a hard target...your direct competition cant either!
Yes the top guys can and will...including the iron shooters.
Dumbing down is NEVER the answer...and parody does not exist
We as a whole need to bring new shooters up to speed...with our time and effort
Not reduce the challenge.
If you never have to strive for the top...you will never get there!
JMHO
Jim
I've seen plenty of very adept shooters struggle with 300 yd. targets & closer.
-
Stages should be challenging for all, from the novice to the experienced. 300 & proper size of target as Trapr has stated is the way to go. If you make a stage so hard for the novice (first time shooter) & he times out he may not be back. This has been the case with several new shooters I have brought to bigger matches. Stress with being there & timer running, sometimes turns into a max time & never got to all the targets.
Just a thought,
Tony

Been there done that!!! Steel is the only way to fly.

What is it with all the negative waves?
You guys really aren't getting understanding that, are you?
Read "badchad's" post again.
Unfortunately mud’s not very clear. In USPSA Production I can't use a race holster but I can use my Bladetech DOH. I wouldn't wear my DOH holster to the grocery store, but I wouldn't carry an IDPA legal Comptac holster to the store either. For the store I do use my FOBUS IWB holster, but that would really put me at a disadvantage to absolutely everyone else I imagine.To keep things both easy for administration and clear for competitors how about "Production holsters as per USPSA requirements" or something to that effect?
I haven't shot a Bianchi match yet but would like to. Having to set up yet another holster rig to be legal in yet another branch of shooting would be a disincentive.
The man just wants to know if his gear is legal, so he can come shoot.
"KISS" doesn't answer that question.
no one likes to be told what to do, Production uses a carry type holster, NOT a competition holster,That is just confusing. Nobody likes being told what to do...and then you tell them what to do.
If AP has a hang up on using IDPA or USPSA rules...that's OK, don't use them. But, you need to spell out what is what, or people won't show up. If you don't learn from history, you are bound top repeat it. IDPA and USPSA/Production have already learned that with regards to "no competition holsters".
I don't think you need a list, but you do need to define the standard.
This is why we have a hard time attracting new shooters to our sport, we make it harder to understand the rules than it needs to be. Just listen to the responses, new to the sport & confused, some experinced to the sport, confused.

2 apps. coming your way, I'm bringing a new shooter to 3-gun with me.

Congrats Tyler, you will be joining a bunch of great guys & I'm proud to call all of you, my friends.

Steve,
Vegas has changed a great deal since the early 90's. What would have taken you less than a few minutes then has tripled in time if not more now. Vegas is right on top of Desert Sportmans range now. I don't even know if it is still open. I'm staying at the Luxor with my wife this year, should be about 20-25 miles to the range from the south end.

One other thing that seem to be odd is, we the competitors were even given the option of using the stage sponsor sign brace for a rest. Usually a vision barrier means walls go from top to bottom & can't be shot over or under. This was talked about before anyone shot the stage that there would be a board or plastic put up to prevent what happen, but it never happen. That brace was outside the shooting area & should not have been accessable for use, even if you could have reached it. I know some where in our rule book there is something about not being able to use a prop for this such thing. Most of our squad did not use this as a brace & brought the question up before we shot. Again correct me if I'm wrong, but I still confused on the rules, I guess.
