Online payment is working now. Thanks again for everyone's help

Awesome!! We received our steel packet with our club code, etc. Just uploaded our results! Thank you! I'm glad I asked or else I would have been re-keying everything. The only problem I ran into was when I clicked on the online pay link on the steel challenge website, it went to a page that cannot be displayed. Being the first time doing this, I'm not sure if they currently don't accept online payments, or we have to snail mail the payment. Maybe it's just a hiccup in the system right now.

Our local club just started Steel Challenge matches, and I'm inputting our steel match results for the first time. We're using Practiscore. We're able to transfer our "regular" matches from Practiscore to Ezwin. I'm trying to figure out how to transfer from Practiscore to EzSteel......I'm assuming there's still no way right now? If there is, is there a step by step instructions? Thanks

I'm running a Czechmate in Open right now and am loading (gun runs / cycles good for me at these loads): 124 gr MG CMJ 1.140 OAL 8.1 grains of HS6 I'm currently out of HS6 and had a couple small tubs of Autocomp.......so loading 6.8 grains of autocomp. I prefer HS6 over autocomp so far though, but can't find HS6 in stock anywhere. (~171 PF)

I just started reloading a few months ago and I've been shooting my czechmate for the last 3 local uspsa events. I don't have any info on vitavouri powder, but this is my setup for my czechmate and I haven't had any problems (happy so far with this setup). 1.140 OAL 124 Grain Montana Gold bullets (9mm, CMJ) 7.8 Gr. Hodgdon HS6 .377 crimp New Starline brass I've been chronoing around 1,330-1350 fps with this load. I also tried some autocomp rounds (another popular powder for running 9 major), but I preferred the HS6.

I just started loading 9 major and tried autocomp and HS6 (after shooting both, I prefer HS6 - feels like it shoots flatter in my open gun). But here's the specs I was using for autocomp. 1.140 OAL (My CZ czechmate shoots shorter OAL's). 6.5 grains Autocomp (~1,350 fps) 124 MG CMJ New Starline brass CCI SPP I tried some autocomp with 6.9 gr and was hitting 1,400 fps on the chrono.

Thanks - do have a powder check on our Dillon and have been using a Chrono. Had a match today and ran into a squib load. Couple days ago, I ran through 200 rounds at 4.0 grains TG, .377 crimp and everything went fine. I was chronoing around 1,130 fps. I decided to run the exact same specs for today's match, but decided to dial it down to 3.9 grains and ended up with a squib. Question is would that .1 have made that much of a difference that I would have gotten a squib? I didn't think so, but many of the other shooters were saying temperature may have caused. When I tested my loads couple days ago, it was around 60 degrees. This morning it was a cold 40 something degrees. I read that titegroup was temp sensitive, but didn't know it was that sensitive? This was out of a XDm 5.25 and OAL of the bullet was ~ 1.137 Also, have a batch of Montana Gold CMJ's coming in.

Shot our first batch yesterday. Everything went fine. 4.3 was a little hot. Going to dial down the grain and crimp for 2nd batch. Thanks again.

Thanks for the responses. I'll check the ammo in my barrel / chamber today. When researching, I thought I had read that the crimp was .355 diameter of bullet plus .02. Maybe I read it wrong or it was for a different bullet. I'll dial down the crimp and do the barrel check. I just wanted to make sure this load won't blow up :-). Thanks again

We just picked up a Dillon 650 - been searching and reading about several loads. We just finished our first batch.....is this an ok starting load (for 9mm minor)? 9 mm: 4.3 grains Titegroup 1.153 OAL .375 Crimp 115 grain Berry bullets CCI Primers Thanks
