  1. I cast. I shoot with a G34 and G35. Not sure why but I'm much more accurate with the G35. They both group the same when benched.
  2. What ?!!! This super long thread and NO video ?!!
  3. I'm no expert. Sulfur is a component in gunpowders though and is yellow. I've seen this complaint in another forum just recently. My guess would be as good as yours. And my guess is that a step or so is being skipped for cost and/or faster production.
  4. I don't disagree one bit with the philosophies of the replies here. The OP does not mention to what happens only to ones competitor, but also to self. We are not robots here. We all see what goes on.
  5. I didn't think the majority would admit to it anyways. I see it .I hear it. It does go on. Just one of those things that don't belong in books or in class.
  6. 50/50 vinegar/peroxide only with stainless barrels. For sure some will argue , and state their thrown away barrel because of the mixture .
  7. Do you do this? At any match level. Do you really shoot the same at every match by concentrating on your own game? Your competitor's wheels just came off at a stage, at that point do you take it down a notch? Thinking " Ok,now I'm ahead, ill just cruise it , take no risks" Or your wheels just came off OR your loads didn't make Major. And now you're soooo behind that "what the heck, full throttle !!" I like to squad with my competitors whenever possible. But sometimes we get assigned. And at big matches we get to see day one results ( do you change your game from here? ) I noticed that I do it. And it works for me than it don't. I remember discussing this with another shooter just recently, but his mentality is different. He prefers to mind his own shooting and not others.
  8. Everyone has to shoot the same stage. I'm down for anything. It is all practical. We are fat, skinny, tall, short, fast, and slow. It's not like every stage has a prone position. It's part of the mix, don't take it away! I'm tall, and there are much low ports for short shooters, advantage for them, so what ?! I'm not going too accommodate one bad knee. That bad knee could be a scenario. No one is forcing the bad knee to shoot. There's is Bullseye , Trap , or Skeet if you want to "stand-n-shoot" in one spot.
  9. Do you compete with the 300 Blackout ? Major or Minor ? Pros ? Cons?
  10. Anyone got loads that make Major in 16" 1:8 barrel? Locally, it looks like our clubs wont be using TimePlus for awhile... Ill also be casting some 155's and 230's . I have on hand some 110 MK's, 125 MK's , and 175 MK's... I just ordered parts to put together an upper, maybe a month to complete..Thanks in advance
  11. I use Qtips to clean out the sleeve. I lightly oil the spring cups with Mobile1. Never had problems with light strikes. Maybe its because I clean my gun every 200-400 rds. I can see how the oil can attract gunk though. I shoot cast.
  12. I like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUwve2VMFBU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
  13. Seriously, I couldnt agree with you more ... That is why I shoot my Glocks . When I win , its just a lot more bragging rights !!! Winning with a gun that is: -cheaper -less accurate -crappy trigger -less capacity -lighter (snappier recoil) ............ having said that , if I dont win , then thats all my excuses ;-) ;-)
  14. +1 I was the first to reply on this post ...
  15. Stick with your CZ. Glock is not for everyone. I can go on all day about how and why Glock works best . And I can go all night about how Glock's crappy trigger made me a better shooter. But that is just ME.
  16. I feel that I am both the artist and the champion. To be honest when I am the champion I never lose. And when I am the artist I never lose . The Champion loves to go home bragging of his wins to his family(my family don't give a rats ass about my shooting, And that's why I pretty much do it). The artist is a very humble person outside his home(Especially at the range), he is the first guy at the range and the last one to leave and always building and tearing down stages,RO'ing , and teaching . Locally I compete against open guns with my production gear . And even that gets boring. Helping and teaching other shooters is what I do nowadays , Their progression makes me feel like both Champion and Artist.
  17. I've read that somewhere. It could have been here and/or by you.... And it became a COMMANDMENT for me.... That alone improved my game alot .... Can I give you hug ? :-)
  18. Thanks for the link. Just the answer I needed !!! Batteries going to recycle for sure...
  19. LOL. LOL. Hehe. That's funny $hit !!!!! Okay . I get . That bad huh?
  20. Just having " low supply of lead" problem. And "don't wanna waste the lead in the batteries" problem. Someone is giving me lead sheets that came from a x-ray room demolition , about 80lbs tomorrow. But still feel bad of letting the lead in the batteries go. I'm not really a newbie in casting,not expert either , but am willing to learn your fix on hardness/pouring.
  21. I may wrong, but I don't think wheel weights are being made with lead anymore. I work in an automotive shop and haven't seen lead wheel weights supplied for a few years now.
  22. Anyone melt lead from car batteries ? I Haven't tried it yet. I know it's very toxic by the way. I'm running low on soft lead. But have a lot of Monotype and Linotype. I have a remote place that is non residential and there's no other buildings about 2 miles away. So just wondering if just simply melting the the lead at about 900-1000 deg will burn off the poisonous stuff ? Or is there a step or procedure that I'd be missing? I got about a dozen used car batteries in the garage . It would be a shame to waste it or get only a buck each for recycling .
