How many times do competitors reload their 9mm cases?
Chutist replied to 85win's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
As others have said.... Until the case is damaged. -
So 11 days in... I responded to the email. Today I called and waited. At the start it said the average wait time was 12 minutes. At ONE HOUR a recording came on and said to leave a message and I would get a priority call back.... that was 6 hours ago. So i've used the support form on the website, I've emailed and I've called.... First time in 30 years i've been really disappointed in Dillon support.

Primers not seating properly S1050
Chutist replied to mstamper's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I'm having the same issue on my 1050. I've cleaned and cleaned...then adjusted....then cleaned again! I finally found the Primer Magazine tip was frayed. I'd fix it but I can't get ahold of anybody at Dillon. -
That's how I took it too. I'm wondering if there's a source of just trigger return and sear springs? It would be interesting to play with weights to effect "feel".

The DPP may have gotten an improvement - Hwansik Kim mentioned on Practical Shooting After Dark that he'd seen some just returned that have a new circuit board and battery set up...

Well... I've got 550B that IS 30! LOL!!! Well almost... I think I bought it new around '93? Be nice if they covered the stuff, I'm more worried about getting it on the way so I can get the press back up 100%. It was flipping or missing 1 or 2 per 100. If somebody from Dillon reads this and would like to help:

I thought this one was really good:

Welcome, it's a good group! What class are you shooting, where are you shooting.... do you enjoy long walks on the beach. Oh wait...wrong forum for that.

Worth watching - Practical Shooting after dark
Chutist replied to BritinUSA's topic in USPSA/IPSC Shooting
I watched this waiting for something about shooting... This is an hour of Ben grinding an axe and three other guys sitting there mostly quiet and looking VERY uncomfortable. I think Ben is a great shooter and I'd like to take a class from him but the politics of USPSA? I could care less.... Hopefully the podcast gets back to shooting. -
It has, and I've gotten notifications of new posts, but when I go the the thread, the new post does show!

New Member- USPSA/"Sport Shooting" Suggestions
Chutist replied to RSBro's topic in Miscellaneous BEginners
On the holster, you can just push the easy button with a complete rig from Red Hill, Shooters Choice or Ben Stoeger Pro Shop: https://benstoegerproshop.com/carry-optics-complete-rig-with-boss-holster-daa-racer-mag-pouches-and-daa-belts-for-uspsa/ I don't share @SGT_Schultz contempt for Comp-Tac - I've have their holster on the BOSS hanger and Blade-Tek on the BOSS hanger. Both worked just fine - but you do want the BOSS hanger. . I'm also shooting a Sig Legion X5 in CO. I'm just a couple of months ahead of you in CO ( I shot OPEN back in the 90's) but happy to answer questions. My set up so far: Sig Max optic Springer Precision Plate Sig Armorer Trigger TTi base pads on Sig mags Add ammo and go shoot! -
Don't overthink it.... Pick the caliber you need the most of. Buy the Dillion XL750 COMPLETE WITH DIES for that caliber Other than that you need A strong bench to mount the press - Bench movement will cause random problems A powder scale - I've been through several over 30 years of reloading. I'm using this: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/frankford-arsenal-ds-750-electronic-powder-scale A micrometer - I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/Hornady-Digital-Caliper/dp/B07VJ9DCXB You are going to learn stuff.... You are going to buy more stuff... All part of the journey, I'm 30 years in and I learn stuff all the time! For components Buy some PROCESSED brass that is ROLL SIZED from someone here on the forums. Trust me. Everyone has a favorite powder - Vihtavuori N320 is very popular right now - I've loaded it in .40 and 9mm Primers - take whatever you can get...small rifle or small pistol for .40 and 9, BOTH WORK in pistol just fine. Chat up the clerks.... Play the new guy card... ask for help. Chronograph - find a buddy with one and use his! Don't shoot it! LOL! HAVE FUN!

Weigh in on red dots - late 2020 edition
Chutist replied to Desk-Jockey's topic in Gear & Accessories
I was where you are a couple of months back: SRO Holosun Delta Point Pro Sig Romeo Max C-more I watched a bunch of videos, looked at all the CO guns I could find... Looked at the USPSA Equipment Survey. ALL of them have reported breakage... Everybody reports the manufactures seemed to be fixing them or giving you a new one. I went with the Sig Romeo Max - It was purpose built for CO and seems to be the newest design. I liked the size of the glass and the dot looked good. Has good battery live with auto shut off and shake awake. Springer has a plate to put it on my X5....Done. -
There fixed it for you! Sadly I'm not making that up. I'll stop before I get "moderated". $60 would be MORE THAN "fair" right now. I paid $53 at the store this week when I LUCKED into some.

Said "On the shelf" Done, Thank you.

115gr & 124gr 9mm JHP's - Sourcing / Availability / Restocks / Pricing
Chutist replied to kamber's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
I'm in line at RMR. They sent out an email yesterday saying they might not make the 8 week est. It goes on to detail what they are doing to catch up. I thought that was great. It went on to detail all the new stuff they bought with the money from the orders they haven't filled, truthfully I have mixed emotions about that.... Doesn't help the open guys but...Right after I got that, I ordered 1K from Precision. I've seen 124 FMJ's at .14 but by the time I pay for primers, powder and cases - It's a push against the cost of factory.... But this too shall pass. -
Nice guns dont make better shooters
Chutist replied to rock751's topic in Little things I've Noticed
I read a book on "Practical Shooting" a long time ago that I think covered this completely, I'll see if I can remember the quote : "Why worry about something as trivial as equipment" - In context I took it as shoot whatever you feel will make you perform at YOUR best, why would you do anything else? ( @Brian EnosHopefully I got it right ) -
Stock Main Spring for me as well. Load and test in YOUR gun. A match is not the place to find out they don't work. You're thinking "Thanks Captain Obvious" - If you shoot matches very long you'll see someone do something just as silly!

Holster selection for a new to me Atlas Athena
Chutist replied to rayw1128's topic in Miscellaneous BEginners
Comp-Tac would work... but there's a bunch of the 2011 holsters that would likely work. https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/2011-C367.aspx I have Blade-Teck for my Freedom Gunworks 2011 Limited Gun - Very similar to your Atlas Athena.- works great. I bought a Comp-Tac for my X5. If I was buying another I'd go Comp-Tac just because they build some duty gear I used for years and had good service from them. -
Got to play with the MPX yesterday! Pulled an EOTECH off a Duty rifle and put it on the MPX, a little overkill but it will work for now! I have a USPSA match Sunday so it was mostly pistol practice but... I sighted in the MPX at 25 yards and then ran the "stage" i had set up to practice on. Man it's like CHEATING with the rifle! Put about 150 rounds through the MPX without a hiccup! Times with the rifle were as good as the pistol right way! I'm afraid to let my Family shoot it, I might not get it back! Two more mags will be here Friday. Thanks again to all that responded

Lab Radar - Buy once Cry once or just get the G2?
Chutist replied to Chutist's topic in Chronograph Equipment & Techniques
Lots of good comments...taking it all in. Of course some of it will depend on what i can find in stock! -
When I was looking Scheels had them but they said they were "in store only". They wouldn't ship to my local store... But worth checking if you have one local.
