Sounds like the plastic ring at the bottom of the primer tube is bent or out of round. Happened to me once and called Dillion and replaced the ring and away I went. Pull the primer tube out and check it. If the primers are dropping out 2-3 at a time that might be your problem. Also, check the spring on the primer feeder, it could be streched out if it is not returning all the way. With the handle in the up position, is the primer cup lined up on the shell plate or is it out of alignment?

If the COF has holes in it, the gamers will use it. So will I. I am with EkuJustice. Just smile and shoot it. Then explain if you need to. Mike

I agree with Flexmoney. Do not sign score sheet and ask to appeal the call(desision). Mike

Great stage design, would it in South Texas, No problem. I like it when a designer uses different target sizes. Makes the match more interesting and makes the hossiers SLOW DOWN. Thanks, Mike

ok thanks. I use solo 1000, but I ran out. have 8-10 lbs clays, that is why I asked about it. Thanks, Mike

doug carden, will the accuracy suffer with only the nine or the 45 also?

Was trying to just stay with one powder. May just go back to 231 or WST for the 9mm. I use Clays in my 45 ACP.

call dillion. N/C fix and will send to you quickly. Mike

ok thanks. Using Hoenady 124gr fmj will try it Thanks

What load and bullet weight?

Hey evryone, Question is anyone using Clays with a 124 gr plated bullet? Thanks, Mike

One week ago at a training class in Liberty Hill,Tx. Shooting a "c" zone size USPSA target strong hand 1 round and then 2 rounds weak hand at 100 yards. With a Glock 19. Have 10 witnesses thank god. Mike

I use the Howard Leight Impact Sport very good. Have to double plug at times but all around very good. Mike

That's great Joe, glad to hear that the shoulder is getting better. Good Luck. Mike

There is not rule to DQ the shooter in this regard, the R.O. was at fault. The shooter should get a reshoot after the R.O. cleans or changes his or her short. How can you DQ a shooter when the R.O. over runs the shooter? Not going to happen at one of my matches. That is interfence, plain and simple. Thanks, Mike

Have a Colt Combat Commander that is hard chromed and carry alot in South Texas, Rust is not a problem. Carried it since 2007. Mike

There are some clubs that use the palm and nooks for scoring, which is fine, but the scorcekeeper is in a rush. Scores the targets as the shooter is still shooting the cof. Then as Range is Clear is called the targets are taped before the shooter can see all the hits. I know when you get 10-12 people in a squad, and you want to run thru quickly (South Texas Summers are HOT). But I feel that the shooter needs to see the targets and hits or misses, penatlies, before it is taped. At least let the shooter say, go ahead and tape or I would like to see the hits. Thanks, Mike

not even close I hope buddy

Hey buddy,frankge, Did you go on your trip? Did you get into Moline coming or going out of Moline on your return flight? I am going to Moline in Oct and going to Iowa also. Need to know if you got hassled. Thanks, Mike

I agree with Matt. I went the other route and nothing but trouble til I have a very good gunsmith refit the barrel for me. Mike

Hey Guys, I had to tell a shooter that because of a safety issuse, breaking the 180, you are out. The COF was set-up so you could start on the left side of a wall with hands on x's or start on the wall on the right with hands on x's. Unforantuly the shooter a right handed shooter started on the right wall, engaged 4 targets in front and alittle to his right with two rounds each, instead of backing up. He turned around from right to left, sweeping the group of shooters and myself. After I cleaned my shorts, stopped shooter and had him face downrange unload and show clear. Told him he was DQed. I did not DQ him, he did it to himself and he even admitted afterward that he had told himself to back-up instead of turning. All I can tell you is keep your cool and stop the shooter quickly and safety, so you live to laugh and tell stories about it with all the natural holes in your body and all arms and legs intact. Be safe and keep your powder dry. Mike

That is true Merlin, it depends on much money dezz has. Mike

I agree with SoonerPast. Clays 4.2 will overflow the case as a double charge. Mike

bogus cover call 1 Maybe bogus call 2 what do you think? First guy never moved his feet or legs and I heard cover?? Second guy the camera perspective makes it tough to tell but he looks good to me. This stage was pretty tough I would guess 30% of the shooters got a cover call... I didn't get video nor did I get a cover call but I saw a lot of calls that were very suspect... I took these from Paul the new guy. I do not see the cover issue here on either videos. Yes they were bogus calls. Thanks, Mike
