The 510 is my main PCC sight and is pretty large. I have a offset sight that is typical of a CO sized dot. It's an inexpensive ADE but has latest over a year with no issues. I'd prefer a taller opening like on a RTS-2 V5, SRO or Romeo 3Max. The 510 would fit the bill but is a lot heavier. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I've bought from fancybrass and their 9mm is completely processed. High quality. Not cheap as Sage's though - 5zk would run $225 delivered. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Indeed!

I have a holding rack mounted on the case feeder that I hang my full primer tubes on. I use a FA vibra prime to typically load 500 primers for the 650. I simply pull them off and refill the press as required. I don't tend to do more than 2-300 rounds at a time.

I am as you, right-handed and right eye dominant. When I shift the carbine to my weak shoulder/hand position, I close my right eye and look through the sight only using my left eye - works just fine.

I use a light coating of synthetic grease on the bolt then spread a thin coating of Lucas oil over it. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Very positive experience when used with a true round nose 115-124gr FMJ. Will run well with Blazer and CCI bulk rounds. Buffer can be easily tuned for your PF. MBX short stroke kit is a great add if you are so inclined to tune further. I replaced the stock and handguard for personal preference. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I started shooting USPSA in 2 calibers and bought a Dillion 550 soon after. I quickly replaced it with a 650 as my monthly demands increased. I then added on both case and bullet feeder to reduce my time keeping up with practice and match requirements. Everybody is different, my approach may not work for all.

I second them as a great source! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

^^^^^^^ This. Your MD/RM is wrong. Good ones will accept that they blew not having the condition of the port door in the WSB. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Synthetic grease, light coating on bolt and key friction points followed by Lucas oil works well for my MBX Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Having individual stage and a consolidated build list us quite helpful. One small team pulls and delivers steel and other heavy equipment to each stage while each stage team pulls their unique items. Steel team then cycles back to grab target stands (steel as well) Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Great advice ^^^ Some other thoughts... 1) know how many and where all the targets are located, 2) walk thru your plan as many times as you can during the ~5-minutes your squad has to look over the stage, 3) when it's your turn, the last thing to do before the RO asks "are you ready" is to walk-thru your plan in your mind - eyes closed is even better Another good piece of information that can inform you preparations for a specific match are the starting positions including handgun condition - particularly practice any ones you've new to or aren't proficient with in your DF or LF

My experience the the MBX comp (I have their PCC) was it didn't seem to affect muzzle movement much when shooting a 147gr bullet that made a PF of 135K. Once I moved to a 115gr bullet making the same 135K PF, I perceived a smaller muzzle/dot movement with an increased amount of felt recoil. I'm using Alliant e3 powder, 3.7grs for the 115gr Berrys bullet IIRC. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Indeed. I've had it since late last year and have been dry and live firing it in preparation for the new season. I replaced the handguard with a carbon-fiber model from Taccom and settled on a Holosun optic.

Thank you sir!

I would consider buying 100 or so bullets in several weights and work up a 9MM minor load for each. Everyone has preferences and you may find you like 124gr loads that are snappier but let you get your sights back on target quicker. Give the 135gr bullets a look as well: a compromise between the 147 and 124gr offerings. You should consider varying recoil spring weight as a final turning action.

Thanks I'll let you know what the culprit was

I've been loading on this particular 650 press for about 2-months. It is used but, is in great condition. I've loaded several thousand 9MM rounds using Alliant e3 (PCC load) and just this morning while attempting to crank-out a couple hundred rounds, the powder measure stopped dropping any powder. I only had a couple of minutes to check it and everything seems to be moving as normal just no charge coming out. I plan to take it off and check it later this evening. Is it simply dirty enough to clog-up. I've never had this happen in the previous years reloading on the 550 using the same powder.

I have been using it for about a month and would recommend it. Like it better than the Double Alpha offering.

So far I'm in the slightly-bent elbow camp. I've compared and I'm slightly faster this way. Moving positions and shifting the butt off and on my shoulder feels more natural.

I have one because I run a powder-check. It work fine for my 9mm loads. I have used the Redding Competition dies for seating and Dillon for crimping when not running a powder check. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

A key theme in all the above is communication... even at a level I match, making sure everyone understands how things will be scored saves a lot of conflicts. For example: Having the person inputting scores enter them for targets the shooter has already engaged as they and the RO running the timer, continue moving through the stage can frequently save time. Everyone just needs to know how things are going to work.
