Any interest in a ULW barrel for the S&W 15/22 for steel challenge?
bigdawgbeav replied to TRUBL's topic in Steel Challenge
I'll be more than happy to test... -
to the best of my knowledge the only aftermarket mfg is ProMag... Not sure if they make the 20-rounders or the 18-rounders. A search on gun.deals shows everyone sold out. Might be found at an LGS, but expect to pay $35. The factory mags are Mec-Gar, but not sold on their site either.

Same here... i have left on my PC Carbine, but my 10/22 only has the right side option

bigdawgbeav replied to FF112173's topic in "Other" & Pistol Comparisons
I'm still building out my 2nd SFx but the list is as follows (this is a dedicated Open/Limited gun, just have to remove the railed dot) ~freedomsmith trigger ~TF brass backstrap ~TF brass magwell ~TF brass mag extensions ~under-rail optic mount (have a couple and testing: Carver Custom, UTG, and Vulpo) ~talon grips (granular) ~w74 tungsten guide rod ~Wolff Commander-length springs (either 12 or 13, need to do some testing) ~Sprinco 29 Newton firing pin spring ~Wolff reduced power plunger spring (for glock) ~Prepper gun shop threaded -
TP9 SFX trigger: what style Freedomsmith do you have?
bigdawgbeav replied to balmo's topic in "Other" & Pistol Comparisons
i just got my 2nd canik and installed the "zombie" Freedomsmith trigger. The install is not that hard, there are a couple of videos out there. Frank Xu did the original and he did a complete tear-down to get it installed. I followed the one below and it was easier... doesn't require a complete breakdown only only need to remove 3 pins. -
#tandemized PC Carbine

I ordered my new 10/22 chassis about a month ago. I know there have been COVID issues at the shop so I'm OK with the extra wait. Just so long as it's here before April so I can test it out before the World Speed Shoot...

like @Les Snyder stated: I have the Holosun 510c's on my PCC and Rimfire rifles. I use the 507c on my pistols and looking to change that to the 510c. Might look funny but I love that big window. I had C-more with the 8moa dot and I felt like it was too big. I think that might have been because in order to see it i had to turn it way up and then the dot flared making it even bigger. Right now I like the consistency I have with the Holosun's. Window sizes might be different, but the dot is the same size.

I'm personally advocating for a "Junior Senior" category of 40-55 (possibly called Sub-Senior... name is still up in the air)

Steel Challenge Only - Safe Table vs. Staging Area - PCC/RFR
bigdawgbeav replied to Hoops's topic in Steel Challenge
I, personally, don't see the need for the on-deck shooter to be holding onto their rifle. If you are the on-deck shooter you should already be at the box with your cart next to you or your bag on the table. It takes time to reset the stage. The on-deck shooter should not be going down to paint targets, unless you happen to be on a short squad. During that time you have plenty of time to air-gun, or move from box to box, etc. When you are given "Make Ready" then you have 1 minute to take any sight pictures and get the ready. Waiting with the gun uncased in an "on-deck" area doesn't make t -
Steel Challenge Only - Safe Table vs. Staging Area - PCC/RFR
bigdawgbeav replied to Hoops's topic in Steel Challenge
sometimes it is dictated by the range as well. A couple of the ranges I shoot at don't have the berms or the space to have a shooter waiting in a staging area. Now this is for SC where it is by far easier just to bring the cased gun to the box. I used to uncase my rifles at the table and then just put them on the cart. but then I had to carry the empty case around all day or go back to the car to get it and then return to safe table to bag it up. Now I just leave it in the case and hang the case off the side of my cart. -
9mm 124 grain Load Recommendation Minor PF
bigdawgbeav replied to jarhead1104's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
According to my charts: (all out of a Canik TP9SFx) 124gr. coated + 3.4gr Clays (Canada) + 1.130 oal = 128.2 avg. 125gr. coated + 3.4gr Clays (Canada) + 1.125 oal = 127.5 avg. 125gr. coated + 3.9gr Win 244 + 1.125 oal = 134.4 avg. 125gr. coated + 3.3gr Sport Pistol + 1.125 oal = 117.8 avg. (yes I know, but I shoot Steel Challenge and PF doesn't matter) -
2021 Steel Challenge Nationals - first timer question
bigdawgbeav replied to lazytrbar's topic in Steel Challenge
I'm looking forward to my first World Shoot... Got my 6 guns registered an d sticking around for the whole thing. The 14 hour drive will be worth it. -
PC Bullets are some of the hardest lead out there. The lead under the proprietary polymer coating is at a Brinell hardness of 21. I have never had an issue with leading with these bullets.

9mm loads that produce little/no smoke?
bigdawgbeav replied to StealthyBlagga's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
In my experience SP produces more smoke then my previous powder (Clays). Which is interesting since it is supposedly formulated for use with coated heads.
