Actually on J if you had a rope pulley, or something, to grab onto that was attache to the wire and not be cuffed to it might be the way to go.
I saw a video of a Nationals, World or some other big shoot that had a similar contraption and it didn't look that bad.
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"

I bet Jason will just love that!
We are all about competition...

I got to about half of them and stopped... it takes to long to view them. Could you zip them up and hit us with a link so we can get them all in one shot?
Something like this?
Thanks for the comments, keep them coming

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.
Sherwyn
I tried loading a few rounds and am having serious trouble with inconsistent primer seating depth. One case will prime just fine, and the next will have a visibly protruding primer, seemingly at random. Anyone have troubleshooting tips for this beyond what's in the manual?

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.

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.

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,

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
If a shooter has a broken gun during a stage, and there is no way to remove possible ammo from the chamber due to the malf. would you DQ that person for leaving a loaded gun and continuing with the stage. Case in point, broken bolt on an AR, broken at the cam pin slot??????? bolt head stays in chamber when you rack bolt carrier to rear.Also, if a round of ammunition gets jammed up in the action of any gun and cannot be removed but gun cannot be closed, slide, bolt, whatever will not reach its final resting point closed on the chamber, do you DQ the shooter for abandoning the gun and continuing with the course of fire, or should RM/MD take into consideration the special circumstances, and the fact that the gun is inoperable when it was abandoned and is essentially a SAFE gun.
How would you handle it?????????????????? I would like to think that I would make the right call, but would it be the same as you?????????

no targets are moving until activated, if you dont activate the target before ULSC, you get the mikes and FTE even if you hit the target.
I know it sounds screwy but thats the way the rule is written, nothing in 9.9.3 says it doesnt apply if the target is hit but not activated,
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
-
Level I's May,, not must or shall, so if COF doesnt say must be activiated before shooting the competitor is free to blast away at a visible target.
WSB only says rope activates swinger no mention of must activate before shooting.
Ok so lets say the target activator is a pull a rope, shooter 1 shoots all targets including the visible head on the swinger, then walks over pulls the rope.
I say score stops last shot fired good to go.
Shooter two however does the same thing but after last shot doesnot walk over and pull rope. 9.9.3 brings up an interesting scoring situation, so shooter gets say 2 B's on the head shots, but then on the same target gets a FTE and two mikes because Moving scoring targets will always incur failure to shoot at and miss penalties if a competitor fails to activate the mechanism which initiates the target movement. (emphasis mine)
humm, now chew on that a bit kinda weird,
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.

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,

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.

Go to a U resizing die, go to a regular crimp die, chuck the Lee FCD in the trash.
+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.

Then also be sure the bottom of the decap pin retaining nut is not contacting the bottom of the interior of the case. Back the decap assembly out a few turns, pull the handle down with a case in station 1, then thread the decap assembly down until it stops. Also, inspect the decap pin, make sure a 22 rimfire or or small case is not caught on the end of the decap assembly.
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

Yep- The swage backup die is set too far down. And without the swager in place to support the underside of the shellplate, The repeated force eventually cracks out the underside of the shellplate exactly as shown in your photograph. time to buy a new shellplate I'm afraid.
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.

Hello: Do you have a power activator on it? It could also be that your swager is setup incorrectly. Thanks, Eric
No power drive and swager is not even on the machine.
