Lots of long range shooters set their Labradar chronos up on our 100 yard Public Line... It's one of the few chronos that lends itself to chronoing on a standard lane... They all use separate, external battery packs... Not sure if that would have helped in your case.

Thats'cool... Hadn't noticed that before... Handy to see the stage percentages...

I have used my Pro Chrono for over 7 years with good results... It predicts comparitive results for most of the major matches that I shoot... I have no reason to think about getting a LabRadar chrono... However... They have always seemed like a great piece of technology to me... I've thought about getting one from time to time, but just can't seem to justify it... And now there are problems with them? Three LabRadars failing at the same time at a major match is unacceptable... and just because the company is too lazy to update their firmware? There must be more to it than that... What went wrong with them?

You can run non-official stages mixed in with SCSA Steel Challenge classifiers and still have the SCSA classifiers count... We do it every month.

@Dad What bolt are you using?

@Snausages32 I took the TriggerTech Diamond out of my PCC too... Put my AR Gold 308 trigger back in... It runs flawlessly in my PCC at 1Lb 5oz. I emailed TriggerTech and they advised me to crank the pull weight to the maximum and adjust it down to see how low it would go before it started burst firing again... Since it wouldn't run at 2Lbs, there was no reason for me to continue testing it in my PCC... I'm going to put it in an AR-15 I plan to shoot in PRS... Should be good for a PRS rifle.

Do you run the Blitz stainless steel buffer weight and an additional 3/8 of an inch additional buffer spacers to short stroke your PCC? Do you have any trouble with trigger reset?

Since you already have an AMG timer, why not use it in a match? If you sync your AMG timer to the PractiScore tablet your squad is using, you can capture all the shot times for each shooter... Then, when shooters download their match into PractiScore Competitor they can see their split and transition times for each shot on each stage... and they can graph their shots on a stage with any other shooter in the match (any other shooter timed with a synched AMG timer)... and you can get the accurate time for each shooter by pressing a button...

What kind of rifle are you putting the TT Diamond trigger in? I put one in my PCC and adjusted the pull down to 1Lb 2oz... It felt great dry firing, but went into burst mode when I tested it at the range... Adjusted it up to 2Lb and still had burst issues... Make sure you don't load up a mag the first couple of times you try it.

I have a 19" AR-15 and am thinking about trying PRS... Looks like you are reloading your ammo... Do you have a recommendation for ammo that I could purchase? I reload pistol ammo, but not rifle.

Different rules apply when you shoot the first four or six classifiers... They count regardless of what their percentage is and they are hard to get rid of... Read the first 2 or 3 pages in the USPSA rulebook to see how the classification system actually works.

Thanks for the update... My first 5015 had the head come loose... Exchanged it for a new two-screw version and it has worked well ever since. It's easy to test buffers, bolts, weights, and springs... Just take them all with you to the range and swap them out... If you're going to test several items, it helps to take notes so you can remember how things worked after you get home.

The RF-100 is undoubtedly the worst product Dillon has ever made!!! I switched back to a flip tray... It's a little slower, but not as much as you think... and way less aggravating when you want to load ammo and end up fiddling around with a jamming, flipping RF-100... My flip tray is always 100%

What recent improvements have they made? The last time I sent a buffer back, they had added a second setscrew to the end piece... Haven't heard about any other improvements since then.

I use a 10.5 inch barrel and almost the same buffer system @Bwillis mentioned above... I use their newer 2.54oz stainless steel weight... It's a little smaller in diameter and slides easier in the receiver extension... It also has cuts milled into it so it doesn't vacuum in the tube... Running the JP AR10 Carbine spring.

I have a couple of Taccom Extreme Bolts for my PCCs... They work well... I really like them... I clean the bolts before I shoot a match... After time carbon and dirt builds up under the extractor and stops it from working correctly... If I leave it long enough it will build up and cause jams... I remove the extractor to clean under it and that solves the problem... Now I try to clean under the extractor after a couple of thousand rounds before it starts jamming. I buy the roll pins in bulk from Amazon... also have a roll pin punch and a roll pin starter punch... They help, but it is difficult to hold the bolt on the correct angle... hold the roll pin in the roll pin starter punch... and tap it in with a hammer all at the same time... So now my question: Does anyone make a jig that will hold the Taccom Extreme bolt (or similar) at the correct angle for installing and removing extractor roll pins?

Interesting test session with the new TriggerTech Diamond trigger. This guy has an amazing trigger test setup rig... Worth the watch.

I case gauge all my 9mm ammo in a match hundo gauge... I notice that some cases are longer than others... some almost 0.040 or so... I pull them and put them in my practice ammo box... and they always shoot in my PCC. Always seems odd.

Delete the shooter in the PractiScore App and re-upload the match to PractiScore.com... Download a new match file from PractiScore.com and upload that file to the SCSA.

We always print out the full classifier document and leave it at the classifier stage... Helps eliminate a lot of problems/questions during the match... Seems it also insures that you get the latest version.

The Bellcrank cubes (white squares) are still available. Asking about the old style bellcrank... Wondering what the Dillon part number is and if Dillon still sells them.

I know this thread is a little old... But... Does anyone know what Dillon part number this is?

https://uspsa.org/viewer//18-05.pdf Stage briefing calls them 'Mini USPSA Poppers' in the online documents.

CW probably recommends red Loctite because the sight will never come loose... They avoid any future customer support issues. I don't use Loctite on 1911 sights... I usually fit them myself and make them pretty tight. When I do use Loctite, I usually use Blue 243... It's an update of the old standard 242 that has more resistance to oils... Good for guns. I do use red Loctite on some parts of my Open gun... It seems to shake loose blue Loctite over time... I usually use Red 262... It is difficult to remove, but it usually holds for as long as you want... I used 262 on my dot mount and later decided to change to a different mount... Had to cut slots in the small hex screws with a cut off disk and use a Micro torch to get them out.

Thanks... I tried a few coupon codes from their web site, but only the 5% coupon worked.
