I recently switched to Delta Point Pros on both of my Open Guns. I had nothing but problems with both of them. Going off in the middle of a stage, going dim and not being able to get them to brighten up and having to replace batteries every match. They are both off being repaired right now. I put my RTS2s that I had very little issues with back on both of my guns. The RTSs are staying on and the DPPs are going up for sale as soon as they come back. The point is, I don’t think anything is 100% reliable but I’ve had the best luck with the RTS2s and I like the 8 moa dot better than the 2.5 on the DPPs

I have one that I sent in for repairs. It would work fine for around 5 min. then would start blinking and shut off. I thought it was the battery too but it wasn’t.

I have several 170 MBX mags they all hold 30. You have to want the last round though. They've all run perfect although I only start with them loaded to 30 + 1. I wouldn't advise reloading to them with 30.

I believe it's the stock thumbrest that comes on the DVC. At least the first DVCs that I saw had those on them.

I was having the exact same issue. I insisted I was riding the safety and not dragging my thumb on the slIde. My gunsmith talked me into welding a thumb shield between the safety and the slide. The next match my gun ran perfect and I haven't had a problem since. A set of Swensen or PT safetys would accomplish the same thing. Your issue may be something different but apparently that was my problem.

So you like Top Fuel huh? It really is more fun. We all knew you'd see the light. No apology needed.

I've been using the GG for a few years. I don't think I could adjust to anything else now. I feel like it helps me get a firmer grip and it helps me to get a lot of leverage on the gun.

I get 170 PF with 8 grns. of HS6 behind 124 Xtreme HPs. 8grns. should be somewhere between 165 and 170 with 124 PD FMJs

Funny...I thought the same thing. Yep, only a lineman would catch that.

I suspect at 1.15 OAL and the DVC cycles with 5.0 grns of WAC you are probably shooting 9mm.

You will probably make major power factor using 6.8 - 7.0 of WAC (9 major). Unless you really don't care about how you place in the match, shooting minor PF in open puts you at a pretty big disadvantage scoring wise. I think you will find that shooting major is really not significantly harder and maybe even easier to track the dot because the additional gas produced with more powder will allow the comp to do its job and the gun will stay flatter.

Give Limcat a call. They can make one for you. I had the same issue with a gun I had an old RTS mounted on.

I've cracked two PT aluminum grips using them on 9 major open guns. They are great grips and I loved the way they felt but the aluminum doesn't hold up on an open gun. Get the SS, you'll be happy with it.

Call Limcat. They will probably replace it for free.

Xtreme 124 HBRP 3.0 grns TiteGroup 1.145 COL. Makes 133 PF.

If they are programmable custom fitted medical grade hearing aids, that's pretty reasonable. I just lost a pair that I paid over $3000 for 3 years ago. I'm being told that these are designed to be full time hearing aids on top of being advanced Technology hearing protection.

Does anyone have any experience with these? There is an article about them in the most recent Front Sight. The manufacturer claims them to be medical grade hearing aids and advanced technology hearing protection. I have a pair on order and I'm really hoping they are everything they are advertised to be.

Limcat Custom. Just a couple hours away from you in Reno

I am by no means an expert on the topic but it was suggested to me by my gun builder and several open shooters to use SRPs to avoid pitting or erosion of the breach face. I have seen it happen to a friends open gun. He was using SPPs and the breach face of his gun eventually became so pitted that he started having feeding problems and had to replace the slide. I have been using SRPs from day one on my open gun and probably have + 50k with no erosion issues. YMMV Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, do not use SPPs. Use SRPs or SMPPs. Unless you are shooting minor loads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

124 MG JHPs, 8.0 grns. HS6, @ 1.16 OAL. and I highly suggest that you use Small Rifle Primers or at least Magnum Small Pistol Primers. SPPs are not capable of handling that kind of pressure and may eventually lead to breach face damage.

Sarge is correct. The spring is holding the dropper up too long or it is pulling it slightly to the side. Add some slack to the spring or slide the Mr. Bullet Feeder farther forward on the case feeder. Also make sure your powder measure is not touching the brass weight on the bullet dropper.

I received my 1050 last week and the Ammobot arrived yesterday. I got the 1050 set up first and loaded 500 rounds and then waited for the Ammobot to arrive. Setting up the Ammobot took about 45 minutes total. After getting everything set up I ran 1000 rounds through it. I had at least 1 malfunction every 100 rounds in the first 600. All as a result of primer feeder adjustment and brass issues. None of them were issues with the Ammobot. It operated just the way it was supposed to. It stopped itself on every malfunction and stops when the primers run out. Once I figured out the bugs the last 400 ran perfect. I'm really satisfied with the set up. I think it is a great deal for the money. I'm still waiting on the Mr. Bullet Feeder to arrive. It should be here in a couple days. Fortunately, I already had one on a 650 so I just transferred it to the 1050 so I could get going. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
