The BBT came this morning and delivered my 550 casefeeder. Took 60-70 minutes to set it all up right but it is working now. Speeds up reloading process dramatically, very happy with it. Will be doing 38 Super, 357 Sig, 40, and 45 with it. Dillon did it right with this one!

Mine was one of the first to ship, spoke to Dillon today, and the Big Brown Truck comes tomorrow (Wednesday). I have put reloading on hold for the past 2 months so I have plenty of brass to load. Will post a report when I get it all set up and running.

I did a search and didn't really find what I needed so here goes: I am currently using a CR Speed holster, pouches, and belt with my Brazos Open gun. It is OK but I am not crazy about the muzzle being covered or held in place with the little knob. I have been looking at the Limcat holster and pouches. Can I please get the opinions of those who use a Limcat setup what they like or dislike about them? Is there any drag when drawing a gun from the Limcat? Do you find your draw to be quicker using this setup? Can you adjust it lower than the CR Speed, as I like the gun to sit lower? Does the gun sit close to the body or away from the body so you do not snag it on your clothing? And importantly, can the lock be knocked off by clothing or accidental contact thereby allowing the gun to fall? How about the mag pouches (I have STI mags)? Is the tension adjustable? Anyone experience dropped mags while running? How is your reload from them compared to a CR Speed pouch? Also, if purchased, can I use the CR Speed belt with them or is it too thick? If not, who makes a good 2 piece belt setup that will accomodate the Limcat holster and pouches? Any other comments and opinions are most appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Here's a vote for the Brazos!

I have seen differing opinions about the temperature sensitivity of 4756. Does anyone have the "definitive" truth? Does the pf of a 38 Super driven by 4756 increase or decrease as the temperature rises? If I get a pf of 171 at 60 degrees, what will the pf of that same load be at 80 degrees? Thanks for the information.

Another vote for 125 Hornady HAP's from Midway.

Another vote for the 125 HAP's. All I have used since switching to Open.

Does anyone know what happened to the online classifier calculator that was on the ohiouspsa.org website? I have tried to access it over the last week and the website seems to be down or something. Anyone know what happened?

Another vote for Brazos here!

I too was nervous as hell at first match. Was shooting Production at the time with Glock 34. Signed in, introduced myself as a new shooter, and they assigned me a "vet" to help me around. Go to first stage and what do I see? First match........first stage......from the box, something they said was called a Texas Star! Geez, what a place to start. Made it through pretty well and have been enjoying the sport ever since.

Whooopeee! Just placed my order for my 550 casefeeder and conversion kits. Looks like an after Christmas present.

8.8 grs of 4756 with 125 gr. HAP bullet. Gets me 170+ pf out of Brazos Custom Pro SC Open 5" with TruBor barrel and poppleholes.

I just assumed that every 2K or so that you need to clean the extractor and firing pin. Not true for Sigs?

Just got my first Sig, a P226 in 357 Sig caliber. The manual shows disassembly only as far as field stripping. Can anyone point me to links on internet that show slide disassembly of firing pin, extractor etc. I'm pretty sure I could just go ahead and do it but thought I would seek information first. Many thanks.

I have just started having trouble with my Dillon RF 100 Automatic Primer Filler. I have loaded thousands of small rifle and large pistol primers with it, with no problems, and just started loading some small pistol ones. I am now getting 5-7 backwards primers each 100 or so. I have adjusted the screw that holds the blue adapter through which the primers fall as they enter the "pickup" tube so it sat a little lower. I am now still getting 2-4 backwards ones per 100. Am I missing something? Anything else I should look at? Many thanks for the help.

Can anyone recommend cold weather shooting gloves. I shoot IPSC and want something thin, but warm for our Winter matches up here in NH. Any websites etc. would be appreciated. Thanks.

I want to purchase a basic swinger target stand. Can anyone point me toward where the best buys with quality might be? Websites appreciated. Many thanks.

I had the same problem. Someone steered me towards the anti glare shield by Limcat here: http://1911store.com/browseproducts/C-More...ld--Limcat.html or http://www.shootersconnection.com/store/in...4e5a12d88334f04 Works for me, good luck.

Radio Shack

Might be old but still good enough to shoot an "A" once in a while!

I have Sunbuster glasses with the 5 different colored lenses. I have been only using the dark brown ones outdoors but want to broaden my horizons a bit. On sunny/hazy days which color lens will allow me to see the red dot on my Cmore "more clearly/brighter"? I sometimes have trouble picking it up and want to know if a different color lens will allow me to find it quicker and have it be brighter in the lens. Many thanks for any help.

I have lost the manual to my Pocket Pro timer. Is there a link on the internet to download another? The CE website just freezes Netscape when I try to access it. More importantly, can someone tell me how to set the par time on it? Want to be able to set for start beep and say 1.5 second beep, as an example. If you could post instructions for that or email asap I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Just had a random question cross my mind that I had never really thought about. I shoot 38 Super with 8.8 grs of 4756 with a 125 HAP bullet and Winchester small rifle primers. Do bullets that are reloaded, and then stored, deteriorate over time? They are stored in metal ammo cans in a cool dry place but do I have to use them in a certain time period? If so, what sort of time are we talking about? Thanks for the help.

No new shorty for you AWLAZS, you must stick with the beater you have now Just stop throwing it on the floor!!!!!!!

I see how people are submitting stage designs for review and I would love to do the same and create some for my local club matches. But........... how do you make the designs? What software do you use to place paper and poppers, barricades, etc etc. ? I use iMacs but my wife has an IBM compatable. Where do I find this software that designs these things? Thanks for the help.
