Calls Shots

Calls Shots (8/11)

  1. Over bell case, run it in the seat die, that measurement is what I set the bell for. For crimp make sure your case gauge is smaller than barrel chamber. I check this by crimping lower and lower until round chambers in barrel but not in gauge. Then continue until it chambers in gauge. Just make sure oal is not affecting the round in the gauge or barrel chamber.
  2. Thanks, I just sent SCSA an email. It didn’t go to Zack just the general email address.
  3. Where do you get a reclassification request? I am in a similar position. I believe an inaccurate time was recorded that bumped me to GM. I am in distinguished senior class and only shoot L1 matches. When I checked my classifiers used to calculate my scores I noticed that my times on Accelerator were far below my average times. On a good day I might be in the 2.30’s, but times scored were in the low 2’s and one was a 1.99. The date in question was over a year ago and I never noticed the error until I finally made GM. I believe only 4 hits were recognized by the timer.
  4. I use the loose gymnast type chalk in a bag. Does leave hands white, is messy, but for like 5 bucks you get probably 2 years worth. I keep the sock in a plastic bag, put my hand inside give it a couple of squeezes, then move away from other shooters and clap hands a few times.
  5. If you’re using bullets with a wax coating that is probably your problem. Wax is extremely difficult to remove. Heat is best way. WD40 does a pretty good job. Do a search to find other methods, but gun cleaners, alcohol, petroleum products have no effect.
  6. Some people use this in combination with the “minus” connector. Which takes away the “mushiness” and makes for a nice clean break.
  7. Excellent post CHA-LEE! My method is similar. I shoot for poa, poi at 10 yds, then for windage only at 15, 20, 25 etc. Then I come back to half the distance of the furthest target I expect to shoot at and adjust elevation only. For me as I shoot steel challenge that distance is 17.5 yards as the furthest target is 35. This I do benched then I check freestyle. If it’s off a lot you have a decision to make either readjust or correct your ability as you know the gun is on.
  8. Make your own with Stabil, and pure lanolin. Get the red container of stabil its 100% alcohol. Mix it 12 to 1. Mix in a spray bottle. Works better than one shot, and way cheaper.
  9. Both, dimple the underside of sight to raise material. Try sight in dovetail, should go in about a third with just finger pressure. If too tight file dimples down a little, if too loose raise more. Apply the locktite, drift home with nylon or brass punch.
  10. Take a punch and dimple the underside of sight, add the locktite. If that doesn’t work get a oversized new sight and fit.
  11. If you had a top gun class you could leave peak times as they are and anyone over 100% would be “top gun”. That us mere mortals would still have a chance at GM at 95%. Changing peak time by only a quarter of a second is huge when in A and M class.
  12. Why not have a “top gun” ranking which would be over 100%.
  13. The scorpionX has the new barrel which is drilled and tapped for most of the popular red dot sights. This brings the dots to the lowest possible orientation to the bore. Mounts are not needed, as the optic is attached directly to the barrel. Another point is you can purchase the barrel only and mount it to your MKII or MKIII frame.
  14. Check that the timney housing hasn’t risen in the frame. The screw that holds the housing via the glock trigger housing might have backed out or broken the glock housing. When the timney first came out that was a problem, then they started shipping with a little washer because too much torque would break the glock housing. Your supposed to use locktite on that little screw.
