I've thought of going up to the Tulsa match. I regularly shoot 3 gun out to 500 yds. How many stages was it? Reseting go real well?

Was hoping one of you guys would tell us how the match was, maybe post some youtube links.

I have a 1" ratcheting buckle on my 3 gun belt, I love that I can get it tight. When I ordered it I ordered a few extra. Think I'll do my USPSA belt next.

I do the exact same thing, you would be suprised how accurate your eyeballs are when you get used to your charge. I also don't try to run my press at maximum speed I just cruise at a comfortable speed not to miss anything going wrong.

One thing that makes importing anything kind hard to pin point a date something to get in the U.S. distribution pipeline is customs. Stuff has been known to sit in customs especially if in shipping containers for a week or two.

Fastnal has grade 8 Carriage bolts, not cheap, but with take a rifle hit. Use them double nutted to hold the back bracket.

It had a big VR80 on the side

Thanks, I stopped at a LGS/range I don't go to a lot and they had one in stock. Was nice to handle one, felt a lot better than all the earlier mag feed shotguns from Turkey.

Who handles magazines for the VR80, especially the 19 round mags?

Could be a real game changer if Mossberg gets a 930M working.

I had the same problem, try one of these it fixed it for me https://taccom3g.com/product/taccom-glock-lower-feedramp/

A 20 MOA scope mount is fine, you will only go in one direction from where you zero your rifle.

Depends on your scope and distance you are shooting. After 500-600 yards the 20 MOA mount helps a bit because a bullet will start dropping with distance.

The 550 is a good all around workhorse. Can use as a turret type press for precision ammo or can turn out good ammo at a pretty good clip. If someone buys one hates reloading/loses interest you can easily get back 80-90% of buying a new one.

Since you are looking for a turret press, I would get the new Lyman Brass Smith All American turret. It will be a good work horse no matter what you reload. If you look you can get them under $200. Even if you buy a Dillon later turrets are a great press to keep around. I have a Redding T-7 had it over 10 years, love the press for all the odd ball and precision calibers I load. I have both a Dillon 550 and 650 with case feeder and would never give up a turret.

I have heard Dillon does a lot of upgrades to the 450 when they refurbish it. I would call them after Christmas see what they say.

I screwed up..here it is...https://www.ratchetingbuckles.com/

I cut my ELS belt down and installed a ratcheting buckle from ratchetingbuckle.com

A lot tougher, I would never worry about Delrin cracking or 'exploding' when dropped.

MOA Targets and SITargets both make good targets. SITargets has a 'plate rack' in a bucket too. They also make a hanging 'A' zone target, plus some interesting hangers.

Delrin is a tough material. It make great bearing material, railroad cars used bronze bushings for the axles for years and they were lucky to get a year out of the bronze bushing. Railroads started using Delrin bushings and the were serviceable after 5 years and did not require as much lube. Delrin is also one of the easiest to machine materials. Even easier than aluminum.

That is funny, I don't care who you are..

Wouldn't a SBR have a stock? I know both mine do..
