Stages are in to USPSA for approval. Right now we are looking at 250 rounds exactly. Hope to see you all in September. We have 50 slots left for this match.

Depending on where you are in Chicago. There are a lot of folks who travel to Schultz's Rod and Gun Club in Muskego WI for matches twice a month. I happen to be the match director. Come and visit us.

Forgot to change that part in the scoring.

I am wondering if this is a legal stage for a level 1 match. I do not see anything in the rule book addressing changing the round count per target in a course of fire. 2 VS 3.pdf

I have no idea how many pairs of shoes and Coach purses my wife has!

And how is that these are posted here and not on the Nationals website? Once again lack of coordination and information for an event that is happening in one week. I still haven't recieved a shooters pack in the mail.

Welcome. USPSA match this Sunday at Occonomowoc Sportsmans Club. Great place to get involved and shoot a match.

I purchased a set of Lee Deluxe Rifle Die set in 223. Can I use this in a Dillon 550b? If so what order do the dies go in the stations? Full length sizer in station one, powder measure station two, then the neck sizer in three and then the bullet seating die in station four? Thank you for your help.

Which powder bar do I use for loading 223 on a 550 press?

3.8 grains of No. 2 behind a 147gr Berry's bullet. Shot thru a 4.5" XDm. Low PF of 139.94 to a high of 143.47. The average PF was 141.49.

Welcome. Not sure where you are located. If interested there is a meeting this Saturday March 3, 2012 for the NISA USPSA group. The meeting is in Bristol WI at the Home Again Restaurant 4410 200th ave. at 9:00am.

Thanks. I have that info. I was hoping for some real world experience.

Gentelemen, I have done a search for Accurate No. 2 powder and nothing comes up. Does anyone have any starting loads for Accurate No. 2 with 124 gr. bullets? I have an xdm 9mm with a 4.5 in barrel and want to make minor power factor for production. Thank you in advance.

That was my technique, when I was done reloading and needed to return the powder to it's airtight keg. be Duh! I had to read this several times. Now I get it. I took the entire measure off of the tool head. Forgot about just removing the pins and dumping. Thanks guys.

What is the best and fastest method to change powder on a 550? Should I just buy another powder measure and swap them out?

Thanks folks for the replies. I think I am going to skip 4.0 and go to 4.1 and 4.2.

N320 seems to work well. I don't have enough expereince with it yet. I spoke with Powder Valley yesterday about the powder and it sounds like there is an importation problem with the product. They have gotten less than 10% of their ordered product. I will try the 4.1 charge. See you tomorrow?

Today I went to the range and chronod some loads. I used 3.8 gr. of N320 with a Berry's 124gr rn bullet. I got an average of 993.68fps and an average pf of 123.2163 on a 10 shot string. My question; is there a mathematical equation to see if increasing the grains will produce a power factor number? I know I need to do the chrono again to verify the results. If I know mathematically I am close I won't have to load a bunch of unnecessary rounds. Or is anyone using these numbers for a minor pf in USPSA. I am using a 9mm xdm with a 4.5 inch barrel.

I hope you can make it to some matches yet this fall with us. That is if you can get that EAA to work and get enough mags.

Get some Dillon Case lube, some sort of a container and your brass. Put the brass in the container and spray the brass lightly. Shake the container a little to get the brass to roll around and spread the lube. Wait five minutes and you are good to go.

Kind of what I thought. Thanks

Is a low powder sensor really needed for a 550? Does it do anything other than warn you when you are low?

I have a spreadsheet of my collected data. how can I share it for comment? I tried to attach it and it wont let me? Any suggestions? It says that type of file is not allowed.

Does anyone shoot lead out of an XDM 4.25 for USPSA? If so what loads are you using? Any fouling/leading issues?

I use Bullseye in my loads, 4.0gr with 124gr Xtreme bullet. I get the same one sided soot on my cases also. They clean up fine but it does look a little odd. Anyone have any ideas?
