I shot it with a HF of 10.8911 for 87.98% in Open on the latest run.

I have not seen the 1050 up close, but the primer system does look like it might be a little safer.
1050 looks like it pushes 1 primer at a time from the primer magazine, to the priming station - about 2 inches.
Where as the 650, has the round priming shuffle disc with primers lined up close together an 1/8 inch apart.
You are correct. The 1050 shuttle removes one primer from the tube. It then slides it about 2" to the shellplate before seating. IMO that 2" makes all the difference in the world.
-
You can set them off in a 1050 as well. The chances are MUCH lower. You would have to have an issue prior to lighting one off and have to try forcing something. I have 2 1050's. I loaded over 60k last year and popped exactly 1 primer in the press. I was playing with the seating depth and crushed a federal SPP. 100% my fault

I will be there as usual!

Production - I never moved beyond a Comp-Tac Holster, Fobus Mag carrier, and good leather belt from Tractor Supply.
One mag in the gun, two on the belt.
I second shooting a few matches before dumping $$ into a lot of gear.
S you take one miss on EVERY 32 round field course?

Schedule and stages!

Shannon,
I am probably an idiot, but I don't see the stages at this link. I could only find last year.

I agree on the One Shot. Whoever started calling crimp, crimp should have his head smashed. You crimp should be case wall thickness (2)+bullet size. Crimp should not hold the bullet. Only remove the bell.

EEH,
See response #7 in this discussion. We will be running 6 classifiers.
I think post 7 was a "suggestion" on which classifiers to use. I don't think there has been any confirmation on which ones will actually be used.
-
Thanks, Lee. See you there.
-
Anymore news on this? Like a list of the classifier to be used?

Didn't Vogel win the Pro-Am a few years ago shooting open with iron sights? I know it's a different game, and a feat that probably won't be repeated anytime soon, but impressive none the less.
Yes he did in 2012.

From the photo, it doesn't appear to have a hybrid barrel which seems odd to me. I'm not sure I've ever seen one of their open guns without a hybrid barrel.
never seen a factory SV with an STI grip either.

I'm a standard notch and post shooter and was wondering how competitive shooting a completely Open class gun would be in Open, just without a red dot. Has anyone tried this? Is shooting a red dot sight really that incredibly advantageous over notch & post?
To be clear this is not something I plan on doing, or testing myself because I only shoot in Production, but the other advantages of Open class would still be present if one did try it - holster, gun with large magwell, comp, high capacity magazine, everything but the dot. Mostly this is a question of vague curiousity that I figured would be best answered here by folks with alot of experience shooting a RDS on a pistol.
I think it is an incredible advantage. To be competitive in Open, you need every little boost you can get.

The right side of the trigger guard on my Stock2 is like a razor. Athletic tape for the win.

One question, how tight should I set the shell plate lock ring? Right now I think I have it set a bit too loose but just a bit.
probably tighter than you think. I tighten mine until it drags then back it off slowly until it doesn't. I have always been tighter than Dillions recommended 1/8 turn or what ever it is.
If it is too loose, you can have sizing, indexing, priming, etc problems.

My vote for second best in the world would undoubtedly be Scott Perman. That guy is an ANIMAL!

If you are coming through SC, I can hook you up with 4-5 lbs of N350. That said, I prefer 3n38. I am running 11 gn behind a Z121 for about 175 pf. 3 poppel holes

I had been using a Double Alpha Racemaster and really liked it but I just got the latest generation Limcat holster and it is even better. The DAA would sometimes bind if you didn't draw straight up, the Limcat is much more forgiving and never binds. Also, like the DAA, it's very secure when locked down
I have both a Limcat and a DAA, and a CR. I like the DAA best, but the Limcat is a close second.
-
CR Speed for me. A CORRECTLY setup CR Speed has more retention than any of the other holsters mentioned, but it seems like everyone tries to set up the holster too light or incorrectly to gain an "advantage"...
I've seen 2 instances where a small piece of dirt/grit in one of the other holsters mentioned required the gun to be removed by having to physically break the holster body from the gun.
We have done this before, but the above bold statement is not true. It is not possible for a CR Speed to have the retention of several of the holsters mentioned. It just IS NOT designed for you assertion to be true. Any holster that allows you to draw through the lock, cannot possibly have the retention of one that doesn't.

My point exactly. If it were based off a set standard then I could compare my score when I shoot production against my friend that shoots a revolver. But the way it is the match points mean nothing across division. He might have actually shot much better than I did, but if the best revolver shooter was a grandmaster and the best production shooter that day was a "B" shooter my score might blow his away.
I think you missed my point. Combined scores are inaccurate. Depending on which shooter in which division placed where on that stage, it skews the results. At least that is how I have always understood it.
That may be the official rule but in real life I prefer the combined results over division results. I want to know how I did compared to everyone else in the match.I understand what you are saying. What I find strange is that at matches I have been at they also printout a tabulation of everybody that has shot ordered by match points, and that makes no sense to me. How can you even think of comparing match points from one division against another? If they ranked everyone by just raw hit factor across divisions at least it would make some sense.
Those numbers are never correct, unless the same guy won all the stages and then they still aren't correct. The combined scores are nothing butt fluff and mean nothing. You only shoot against those in your division.
You are chasing a rabbit down a hole to nowhere. Across divisions , equipment plays a huge part. I am a B Open shooter and I generally beat ALL of the M Production shooters. Just learn where you reside against your peers in your division. Gauge your improvement against them.

Why is it done this way? What I am asking is why do they normalize it against the guy that happens to do best that day rather than against a standard or just assign the points based on your hit factor compared against what say the best grand master would shoot it. That way the guy that finishes first might not get the full amount of points so he could actually compare how well he did against a grand master. It seems strange that your score could be dependent upon who decided to show up that day.
That is exactly why it is done that way. There is no standard for field courses as they are different every match. You can only be judged against those who shot that exact course.
Classifier stages are done as a regular stage (against those there) and also against the HHF (High Hit Factor) normally set by a top GM in your division. That is how you get your classification, against an established, nationwide standard.

I talked to Phil this weekend at the FL Open. He said registration will be like last year. Previous shooters will get first shot at the slots and then he will open in up to everyone. New email to come to previous shooters this coming week.
