I'll be shooting Thursday and working a stage Friday and Saturday, but no aliens........they were exterminated last year! Looking forward to seeing everyone again in the hills of VT. Match website is available here: http://www.area7aware.com/

What press, what primers? I have used mostly Remington and Winchester brass for years and have never seen this problem with the Winchester brass. When I had my 550 and 650 if I found a raised primer it was usually due to "operator error", failure to fully push forward to seat them. Now that I have my 1050 that situation has been eliminated.

Thanks for the replys. I bought some cat crap at my local EMS store today and will see how it works.

Do all SC courses start with hands above shoulders? I see that in a couple of videos.

Is there any anti fog application for glasses that really works? I have tried a few different ones and the glasses still fog up on me. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I am going to shoot my first Steel Challenge match later this month and want to practice for it. No steel, so I cut circles etc. out of the no-shoot sides of IPSC targets and will use those. I have the course setups from online but need some pointers as to how best to shoot the stages. Without giving away trade secrets, what is the best way to shoot each of the following: Smoke and Hope Speed Option Five To Go Pendulum Outer Limits Accelerator Roundabout Showdown If possible can you explain which plate to start on and what order to shoot them with, obviously, the stop plate last. What is the quickest way to get each run done? Also, what are the procedures for Showdown and Outer Lilits as they have more than 1 box? Shoot each plate from each box and then the stop plate last from the last box? Or something else? Lastly, can you give me some idea as to what I should look for as an average time on each different course. I have been shooting IPSC for 3 years and am currently an "A" class in Open division. What should I see for decent times as I do each one? And yes, I have downloaded one of my open guns with reduced spring etc. to lower the power factor for this match. And, are there videos online somewhere of people shooting each of these stages that I can look at and learn? Many thanks for your time, this looks like fun. I appreciate your help.

I have used this D-Terminator for the past 4 years with no problems: http://dillonprecision.com/template/p.cfm?...&dyn=1&

Not yet, they will show up here: http://www.uspsa8.org/Area8Championship.htm

Link problem fixed. Here is my family. http://www.gunsnet.net/album/showphoto.php...ig&cat=3040

Have already signed up again. Hopefully trip will be smoother than last year when my plane had to do an emergency landing after blowing the main landing gear on takeoff. Match was great, trip home too eventful!

Welcome to the dark side!

Good powder choice.......... http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48513

Has Manny or Frank published dates that they will be having classes in Frostproof this Spring/Summer/Fall? I don't see dates on Frank's website. Anybody know anything?

I just looked at the 2008 registration form and noticed the dates are Feb 8, 9, 10. This is a week earlier than in previous years, does anyone know why it was moved up?

This is Duchess, our St. Bernard, trying to convince me that she wasn't the one to get into the garbage can. Busted!

Unfortunately it was N150 that he had, not the N105 that I need. Still looking.

My usual supplier of VV N105 powder has been "out of stock" for a while now. Today I was told the beginning of June sometime but who knows. Does anyone know of a supplier/store that might have some N105 in stock right now? Just about out and sure could use 5-10 lbs right away. If you don't want to announce to the world where it might be............you can always email or PM me. Help would sure be appreciated.

Just thought of something.......... if I use Winchester small rifle primers for my Major load, do I use the same for my steel load? Or small pistol primers?

Surefire cure is to switch to revolver, more room in the case

Thanks, how about some of the IMR powders? 4756? 7625? Others?

+1 for Winchester small rifle primers. NEVER a problem.

I need to develop a steel load and I want to use my VV N105 that I use in my IPSC match gun, unless there is something much better I should use. I am going to be using a Montana Gold 115 jhp. Good powder for steel load? Something better? Has anyone got a starting point they can lend me?
