Grams used to make some. They were pretty pricey 8 or so years ago, probably be scary expensive today. There is one listed in USPSA classified right now for STI 9 oz at $175

Actually the WSB says connected...I never said cuffed...if we use it, you will have to come to the match to see how you are really "connected" Sherwyn

We are all about competition...

Something like this? Thanks for the comments, keep them coming Sherwyn A3 stages.zip

Actually thinking the number could be 14 Sherwyn

Stages are posted on the website. There are more listed than we will be using. Open to suggestions on which ones to drop. Thanks, Sherwyn

If your primer seating has any variation, it almost has to be in the shell plate not being tight enough. The only other way to have high primers is to short stroke it, and that is noticable at other stations as in changing OAL etc. I normally run the shell plate as tight as I can and still have the detent ball keep it aligned.

Anyone know how much torque is required to drive the 1050? If you built it yourself - how did you decide what to use? Any torque information on the PW drive? Thanks. Sherwyn

No experience with 147s but Longshot has a quirk when you push it to far - when you pass the line the velocity will actually go down and more powder might not change anything, spread may or may not increase. I have experienced this with temperature change on a load that was stable when tested at 40-60 degrees, but suddenly did not make major (75 fps cushion) at 75. Sherwyn

Another vote for Tundra Crewmax limited. LONGTIME Ford guy - second Tundra and will NEVER go back Only complaint is skid plate removal for oil change, but my plate now has a trap door.

Did not have very good luck there last year with a remodel in progress. Is it back on track and a OK again? Thanks, Sherwyn

If shooter abondoned the gun, DQ Shooter is always respnsible for his equipment Ammo in gun is a loaded gun. Shooter stops with broken gun - score stage as shot. Sherwyn

1.1.5 defines freestyle "...must be permitted...and to shoot on an as and when visible basis" 2.1.8.5 defines an appearing target as being completely covered before activation (with level 1 exception - see below) - if available before activation, then it is a static target. Read 9.9.4 if you are talking about a level 1 and it is in the WSB - procedural per shot fired - no mikes, no FTE...not in the WSB - no penalties. Level 2 and up - if I can put the hits on it and not activate it - NO penalties First the course has to be within the rules, before you can apply penalties. Sherwyn

Have had this discussion before. If you can engage the target without activation and the WSB doesn't say it must be activated before engaging, then 9.9.3 does not apply because it is not a moving target. Sherwyn

I have one marked as 4mm. Measurment matches in the location you show. But believe the actual measurement you are looking for is the depth of the recess in the basepad. About midpoint front to rear from the lip that mag will rest on to bottom of recess - 4mm or .157. Hope that helps, Sherwyn

Same issue with my roller handle...drilled and tapped casting for a set screw - no more problem. My 1050 has a factory set screw with matching recesses in handle. Sherwyn

+1 here really does not say it strong enough. I quit loading mixed 9mm brass before I changed to the undersize die. There is just some brass that is thin enough to not get resize properly. I tried the factory crimp die...it has the opposite issue...if the brass is thicker, then if you check you will find you are actually resize the bullet as well. Sherwyn

Using a EGW undersize die for decapping which is slip compression retained. Looks like I must have done it before I removed the swage and backup, wonder why there is a recess in the support platform at that position. Amazing that it took so long for it to show up. Thanks all Sherwyn

Yes, I already spent the $70 on the new shellplate. But only using an expander...have not had the swage or swage backup in use for at least 3-4 years. Guess it could have cracked when I was using them, but that was probably 100k rounds ago and would think it had shown up before now. Sherwyn

No power drive and swager is not even on the machine. Sherwyn
