[Better to start reloading 9mm or 45acp?]

Any update? It has been long enough that you should be cranking out 9mm by now at least.

[200 grain lead bullets and win 231 any ideas for a load?]

I shoot a lot of lead in 40 with 231 and have no problem making major but my bullets are 180's and my gun is s 5" para.

As with everything get the load data start under and work your way up.

[Real Football]

Looked more like Historical Rugby to me.

[Gilboa Snake Double Barrel AR]

Not me. That looks like just one more of the concept weapons that will find their way to the recycle pile.

[SUPER 1050]

Outstanding acquisition! Congratulations.

Enjoy

Now comes the problem of feeding it.

[Youth Competitions]

I would start with the 229 in USPSA. There are lots of local matches around me ANSI would suspect there would be around you as well. Start with the club locator on the USPSA web site and go to a match to watch first. Most everyone I have run intros very nice and will Help.

One thing I would recommend as well is reading the rule book even before showing up. For example it will help you understand the difference between production and limited.

Welcome to the sport and thank you for bringing in another junior shooter,

[Greetings from The Nozarks]

Welcome and Thank you for your service.

[Shot USPSA today]

Welcome back. Seems like every squad is different as to how quickly they move from one stage to another.

Glad your Leg is better.

[How to figure FMJ to Lead for load data?]

That works for faster powders from what I've experienced.

The slower the powder though the less the difference in load amount between fmj and lead/moly.

That has been my experience as well.m

[Rust prevention]

I like a product called corrosionX. Www.corrosionx.com for more information.

I use it as a replacement for the CLP I used back in the marine corps.

[Why aren't juniors broken out in results?]

Special recognition for Juniors (and Pre-Teens!) is a great way to bring in new shooters and increase interest for families, and that's a great thing for shooting sports.

My own kids would like to first win their age group and then beat the adults.

Mine too and let me tell you it will not take long unless I get a whole lot better quickly.

My 9 YO shoots production while the 13YO shoots open. I can still beat them both but as soon as the 13 YO actually starts practicing I am toast. Of course practicing together would be a great thing.

[1050 and crushed primers]

Alan-

Thank you 10x10 to the tenth power!!

I am ordering the new primer bar tonight...

Tillman

Please post your results when they are available. With the cost of this primer bar I have stopped short of buying one but have considered it several times.

Thanks

['B' Class in Production]

Outstanding. Congratulations on the new class.

[Hello from sw Minnesota]

Check out mnuspsa.com there are several clubs around that host monthly matches.

I shoot MAPSA out at Pine Island regularly. Hope to see you there.

[New from OK]

Welcome. What part of OK are you in? I was down at doubletap last weekend and met a GM from Tulsa. Great guy.

[SUPER 1050]

Congratulations on your new press.

[What do you use for brass polish?]

I also use Nu finish and oderless mineral spirits. The mineral spirits also works great getting the case lube off finished rounds.

I use this too for removing the case lube after processing 223.

[Getting started reloading]

I've pretty much settled on something set around a single stage or a dillon 550b. Extra money for a turret is getting close enough to a 550 I'd just as soon step on up. I don't think I've seen a negative comment about a dillon anywhere.

I own a rock chucker from RCBS for my single stage and a piggy back that converted it into a progressive. I still occasionally use the single stage for things like push through sizing of 40 cal. However the piggy back is collecting dust for more than a decade now.

[1050 tips?]

thanks for the replys. my bench is my from my weight lifting days that held all the plates and dumbbells. 4x4s, reinforced w/ 2x4s, lagged to the wall. shelves currently hold approx. 20,000 + bullets etc etc waiting being stuffed. maybe 5,000 loaded rds in 50 cal ammo cans so, sturdiness won't be an issue. its solid. still waiting to hear from dillon on my marketing idea for the 1050.

what is your marketing idea? Best I can tell the 1050 sells itself.

[my first grip reduction]

I really like that style. Any tips on how to accomplish this kind of result?

[1050 tips?]

Read all the FAQ's recommended while you wait in the arrival.

One of the things you will find is a need for a stable base. I had to add a 2x6 to my already sturdy bench to solve my priming issues.

Let us know how it goes. Lots of great information here.

[ipad 3]

I carry the 2 and my boss carries the 3. I have not seen enough of a difference to convince me to put off the ammo it would cost to spend the money on the upgrade.

Even selling my 2 and buying the 3 for the difference.

[Finally did it!]

Welcome to the smart phone generation!

I have moved through many generations of smart phone and have settled on the IPhone with AT&T service.

[Super 1050 issue, resistance on the downstroke]

After you check the priming items suggested.

I have found this type of issue on my RL model when the toolhead was tightened at the top of the stroke. I now run it down to the bottom to tighten the nut to ensure the alignment rods are a the shell plate when the head it tightened.

[Howdy from SW Fla!]

I was I the same spot you are in and once I bought a dillon I haven't used the RCBS again outside of some single stage stuff.

Welcome to the forum.

Btw buy your dillon stuff from brian.

Retread.
