I load 9.3 of 4756 under a MG 121. The case is absolutely full. Sucks to load. I have to be there to make major using a Trubore with 4 poppel holes. I use 4756 for practice and club matches and 3n38 for majors. I am at 1.235 on OAL

So no more "gun of the week" club?
-
I think you probably compressed the springs. When new, I will load them to capacity -1 and leave them overnight. After that they are always unloaded.

How do the Speedcross cleats hold up? Do they wear quickly?
Super comfy shoes but mine are wearing fast. Only wear them at the range on the soft dirt surface.
Same here. I love them, but they wear way too quickly. I only use mine fro USPSA and after 9 months, they are pretty much shot.

Definitely not. Even if I had one upside down primer in 500 rounds or so, not having to pick up the primers with Primer Pickup Tubes was my reloading dream come true!
What do you do with the rounds that come out with primers pressed in upside down? Even though it might only be one round out of 500 rounds with a flipped primer, it seems like it would be difficult to deal with.
It doesn't seem like you can fix them... I don't see how you could get the primer out... and I wouldn't want to dump them in the trash... Our trash goes into an incinerator...
I guess you could rip out the bullet and dump out the powder... then through the case and primer away... dunno... that sounds a bit dodgy...
Not trying to be a jerk... Just want to figure this out before I buy one.
You can pull the bullet and toss the brass, or, you can gently deprime in the press. Even if you trashed all the backwards primers, it is still well worth the time savings.

picked it up for 400
Awesome. I have 2 and would not trade them for a Super1050. I like the shorter stroke for pistol.

^^^Good advice for sure. I'm busy working on the design of version 2, talking with suppliers about custom glass etc.
Who has strong feelings about dot color. Red is the industry standard, green is the new cool thing, blue is kinda wild. Is there a real performance difference? Let's talk about color....
Green Green Green. A choice of red or green would be nice. Those of us with color vision problems can generally see green better than red. hint, hint.

Well guys I've got my gun running. I ended up buying a brazos lightening slide and fit it all myself with some good advice from people here. All that is left to do is to refinish, and yes it is all together correct, proper lug engagement, Clearence between the barrel and comp,correct link and all the smithy stuff. When money is tight it's amazing the things we can learn if we put our mind to it, thanks again for all the help!
So you fitted the slide and barrel yourself? First time doing this?
-
IIRC, Green and Red Locktite are the same strength and heat rating. The only difference is that the green is designed to "run up" the threads of parts that are already assembled.
My problem with threadlockers on comps has been heat. Open guns can quickly get hot enough for normal thread lockers to breakdown. That is why I posted the link to the rockset.
-
Use this. 2000* hold strength. Soak in water to release. Good stuff for comps.
-
Has anyone installed an Aftec and had it be to long? I think I need to relief the barrel where the indentation is for the extractor is. Just wanting to confirm before I do something stupid
All of my guns have had the barrel relieved.
-
Hmmmmm. So what are your plans for this?
-
I HAD about a years supply. When thing get a little closer to normal, I will begin building a 2 year supply.
-
Anyone heard or know about stages yet? Last year they had them posted rather early. Still have last years stages on the website.
The stages posted a the new ones I think. They are a little different than last year. Very little.
-
Looks a little too close for my taste. Get Matt to custom drill you one to raise it a bit.
-
The smallest dot I can see at speed. Started with a 12 am now down to an 8 and will probably move to a 6 soon. i think the better your index, the smaller dot you can use. For me the bigger dot was a crutch for a crappy index.
-
Jeff Abernathy, Freedom Gunworks, Cheely, Akai, SVI, Brazos, the list of excellent builders is long. Start calling them and see who you like the best.

Does anybody honestly think that USPSA can do anything that will result in a "surge" of revolver shooters showing up? New shooters? Swelling the ranks? Be honest now. Try not to confuse personal preference with something that will actually generate new members.
I have closely followed all the threads on the topic over the years. I try to poll all the revo shooters that I see at matches. I am pretty sure I've heard most of the prevailing points of view on the matter. I am all ears for something new. Let me hear it.
Absolutely not. I am not sure that anyone besides revo shooters even care. Revo should be exactly what it is IMO. It isn't popular now and it isn't going to be popular in the future no matter what magic people want to make happen.
-
Definitely been cut down. Looks like a Caspian slide to me. That comp... my goodness. Shoot it and see how it runs. Super is no more expensive for me than 9Major was for the year I shot 9.
-
put a slide racker in the dovetail.
-
Very good question.
-
IMO, the RM performs best in a trash can.

Dot movement doesn't matter, what matters is the dot comes back to the same spot as quickly as possible.
This ^^^^^
Stock II I can't imagine a better production gun
