Looks like an ENGC bay. (Eastern Nebraska Gun Club)

I'd be interested in hearing some reviews. At nearly twice the cost of the vibra prime I'm wondering how this is that much better.
Is the big benefit that you can flip most primers by just shaking it in your hand vs the vibra prime?
No adapters needed for the primer tubes is the big attraction for me.

Looks good to me!

Take my money!

It's a 15 minute operation. 20 minutes tops to upload match results and pay for classifiers to USPSA when using PS
I wish everything in life was so simple.

Gen4 17, OEM barrel. 13 lb ISMI recoil spring, 5 lb striker spring, type 0- blood. I'm using Acme 124 coated bullets, Tula, CCI or Win SP's and W231. W231 isn't my first choice for powder 'cause it burns dirty but I have a ton of it and it meters well in my Dillon. When I run out of W231, I'm going to try to work up a load using WST.
It's not like the soot left behind by W231 is a major problem but since I know there are cleaner burning powders out there, I'll go there.

I upload the match results to PS the same day.
Match results go into USPSA on the Tuesday morning after the match. Match fees paid immediately after that.

I wet tumble 30 minutes using that Brass Juice stuff. I think it works great.
Then I dry my brass out on the driveway in one of those big white plastic pans meant to be installed under a washing machine. Doesn't take long to dry a bunch of brass in that on a sunny day.

Op said 9mm
I know he did. I'd still pick a 5.56 over a 9mm. I'd still pick a 16" AR in 5.56 over an AR pistol in 9mm.

I don't know of too many firearms SD instructors who will tell you to pick a pistol over a rifle for HD.
An AR with a 16" barrel in 5.56 is very difficult to beat for HD purposes.

Do you shoot any major matches? Does any of your regulars? Majors are a great place to get idea's of what people are doing. Even just traveling to clubs out of your normal area might give you a different flavor and get the wheels turning.
I get to major matches occasionally. Not like I should though. But I agree big matches are a good source for stage ideas.
-
I play MD at a very small club. Our matches are 5 stages at most. I like to design stages and work to make them challenging as well as varied.
But I am far from the world's greatest stage designer.
I'm always looking for input from other shooters on stage design.
So, that's my "want more of." More input from other shooters for better stages.

I can't find this thing in stock anywhere. Leupold still lists the DPP on their website.
I haven't seen one in stock anywhere for months now.

Practiscore Log app is a great tool. It makes the AMG Commander timer an even better training device (The AMG's sensitivity and beep volume is adjustable, among other things, so that it is a great dryfire tool as well.)
PS Log results can be exported as .csv files too.

I've managed to set off a few thousand in my G17 with a 5lb striker spring and stock OEM Glock striker. No issues. Loading on a 650 and ensuring I have them seated well.

I use one of those big white plastic tubs that is meant to fit under washing machines to catch oil leaks etc.
Just place it in the driveway in the sun on a sunny day and the brass is dry within 2 hours on a warm day.

My 0.02. I'm loading on a Dillon 650 w/Dillon dies. I do have the powder drop tube from AA installed and have been using it exclusively.
I have loaded coated bullets for quite some time and have been quite happy with them. Call me a devoted fan of coated bullets. I've never really had a problem loading them. (The AA tube does help with seating the bullets IMHO.)
I recently decided to try some 122 grain truncated cone coated bullets from ACME. I had been loading their 124 RN's with no issue. But some reason, I wanted to see what the TC bullets did. Don't ask me why. Apparently I'm not happy with success.
Before I started loading them, I dutifully swapped the bullet seating stem from the RN profile to the flatter "TC/SWC" profile" in the Dillon seater die.After setting OAL, I started loading.
Immediately I noticed I was producing crap loads. Shaving the coating. Inconsistent OAL. Unusually high reject rate on the case gauges. (Both the Dillon single and the Shockbottle "Hundo.") I played with the belling until the cases were screaming. Still inconsistent results as above, including coating shaving.
I didn't think it was a bullet related problem as I've loaded thousands and thousands and thousands of ACME coated bullets. Never a problem!!!! But these were the first TC profile I had loaded.
FINALLY I pulled the seating stem back out of the die and played with the bullet on both sides of the seating stem. It appeared that the flatter profile side of the stem would sometimes catch the tip of the bullet as I wobbled it side to side with my fingers. The RN profile did not catch the bullet. Hmmmmmm.... perhaps the bullet was prevented from aligning properly with the case because the tip of the bullet was catching in the seating stem?
Swapped back to the RN profile, set the OAL and I started to produce a consistent quality reload.
I am using mixed range brass and am wet tumbling w/o pins using the Brass Juice stuff.
I will mention that the Brass Juice seems to leave a bit of lube on the cases as they run through the press much more smoothly than the standard Armor-All car wash w/wax and Lemi-shine mix I had been using previously. It also seems to remove tarnish off of brass as well.

GrumpyOne..... I know the guy. Excuse me, it was kind hearted ribbing of a friend.
Hi CMZ!!! Believe it or not, there are now several Glocks in the house.
It was an easy way to get into Carry Optics and I am enjoying it. I'm finding that the trigger is no big deal at speed and those stupid Glocks just run.
-
What?!?!? No app? No wifi? No BT? Crude.
This looks promising regardless.
-
I must have good water. I wet tumble my brass for 40 minutes at most. The majority of the cases come out looking like new.
Edited to add: I used that Brass Juice for the first time today. It looks promising. It seems to help with tarnished brass much better than the usual car wash/citric acid mix.
-
I don't use pins anymore either. I dry the cases in one of those big plastic trays that are intended to be put under a washing machine. Let it sit outside in the sun and wind and the cases dry in a few hours.
I still give the cases a few turns in a media separator to work out a good part of the water before dumping them in the tray.

I've only read his "No Country...." before the flick came out.

Interesting device. On a first glance the main issue is the lack of hardware buttons for flipping pages. Would have to mitigate that in the app...
I'm focusing mainly on the Eink display. The Android Eink readers I've been researching are very expensive compared to Amazon Fire's etc.
-
I think an Android eink reader such as this would be the way to go for PS squad scoring devices.
Google Play can be installed on this one. So I believe Practiscore could be loaded and run on a device such as this.
The biggest problem I can see is their expense. But to have something that is truly readable in sunlight!

That IS a great video though, regardless of where it was produced.
