I have a 38 super with 5 magazines. Does anyone have a recommendation on a device to help me load the big stick and the stiff 140mm mags? Anyone using the UpLULA by Maglula? Help.

I am going to try one shot on my pistol brass. I guess I am one of the last to hear the good word!

This is why i switched to petroleum based, pic. The first tank corroded on the inside after about 5-6 years. I got my new tank from Toolking, cost was $51 bucks. SLIP doesn't sell them anymore, I am wondering if it was because they didn't play well with their water based solvents. I am using Graymills Agitene solvent from Graingers (2RE49). Works much faster and I don't have to be so careful when drying the parts since there is no water.

That is sweet, I am going to print it out and try it.

I remember sitting around for hours cleaning guns with my dad when I was young. It was the old "news paper and Hoppes #9." Seems like it took forever to do 2-3 guns this way. Once I got shooting and found myself spending more time cleaning guns I got serious about how to go about it. My first breakthrough was with the SLIP2000 parts washer tub and their 725 water based solvent, that was in 2006. I am still in the same tub (replaced once), but i am now using a petroleum based solvent. I love this thing and the entire system. The only other significant component is a small air compressor to dry the parts.

Next match in 2 weeks. Time to practice.

I have a 300 win mag that comes in over 16 lbs. It goes from the car to the bench and home. Biggest weight contributors are the bull barrel, stock, and Night Force optics (56mm).

No issues with TiteGroup on the Dillion 550 tube. However, Winchester AutoComp is sticking to the inside of the tube now.

+1 for Redding dies. They are all I use. I typically use the competition seater die set.

That is a lot of rounds in one month. How many times do you go to the range?

Good point.

I just had a steel plate rack built for practice. Typically I use 5 IPSC target stands, 5 steel plates (22"x10"), and now I am going to incorporate the plate rack. It has 5 plates on it. I like to shoot steel so I don't have to tape so much.

I am trying out AutoComp and liking it. I also have a ton of TiteGroup, but I don't think I can make major with it.

My dad is a south paw and had an ambidextrous safety on his comp 45ACP. Eventually he just used his trigger finger.

Looks like a nice way to shoot open.

I ended up with a 38 super, you can see the trade offs for each. Either way you will have fun.

I am testing some loads in this rifle. I hate to shoot it with the muzzle break, because it is exceptionally loud. I typically wear plugs and muffs. However, I forgot how much it helped with the recoil. Makes a huge difference.

More accurate with or without a compensator on your rifle? If it helps I am shooting a 264 Winchester magnum that has a threaded compensator. I am curious if anyone has any previous experience.

Guys, Great points on powder and bullets. I haven't been impressed with the RN accuracy I have been having, so I may try some JHPs. Thanks

Second match went well. I didn't place as high, but I am getting my times down. Now I just have to get my accuracy up. I am definitely working out some kinks.

Well, tomorrow is a new match and a new powder. I also am picking up a case of MG 124 CMJs. Wish me luck. I have to shoot a couple of rounds before the match to ensure I am zeroed, since I had the front screw on the C-More fall out on Thursday.

Mat, Thanks for the link. Very good information.

Good to hear. I am running a Cheely.

I have a case of those coming to me tomorrow. I should be getting the CMJ 124s. I have been shooting Ranier & Extreme (local?). However, one of the guys at the USPSA match must be a MG dealer. He orders monthly, so it looks like I have a bullet guy, now.

Fair enough, what mount did you choose?
