  1. I had a couple of tubes that i had to open up the upper part of the port on the magazine. A little filing on the front opening as well did the trick.

    You aren't having any interference with the basepad and magwell are you?

  2. I've been using the E3 for a while now.

    Good powder for lead or moly bullets. I could not get plated or jacketed bullets to make power factor without signs of pressure in my .40.

    I use a 180 moly loaded to 1.195". My six inch Bedell with KKM barrel loves them, 172 PF. My edge and trojan both come out at 168 PF with the same load of 4.0gr of E3.

    they do smoke, less than TG. I'm in the desert so humidity here is not high and i really don't notice the smoke.

    The powder is much cleaner than TG and my guns are not so sooty after a days practice.

    I'll think I'll stick with it for now.

  3. We have multiple RO's on each squad. We all take turns running the clock, score sheet, etc.

    We don't have the luxury of dedicated RO's for each stage. Most of our clubs have ranges that other shooting sports use as well. Set up is usually the day of the match along with teardown. One club in the area sets up the night before.

    Other clubs may do things differently, each situation is different...I would go to a match just for the sake of a match, not just because they have dedicated RO's.

  4. I think until you are earning an income from shooting, it is just a hobby. It may be an obessive hobby, but a hobby nonetheless. Shooting is something i do a lot...4-5 local matches per month, at least 4-5 bigger matches plus nats and an area match.

    I spend alot of time cleaning, trying new parts, etc etc. But it is really something i do to pass my time when away from my practice. It takes a priority from my other hobbies and interests, but in the end.... a hobby. But fun.

  5. I'm currently running an 11# in my 6". I don't use shock buffs, these just got too tore up and jammed everything up.

    I had the same thing happen yesterday, it didnt jam but when I took the gun apart to clean it the buff was destroyed. I really like using shok buffs and was wondering if there was an alternative other than a recoil master/sprinco.

    I even tried a alumibuff. That peened to smithereens and lead to two slide lock backs on a weak handed stage i shot at a match. I shot it the next day weekhanded and lock up occured (slide sticking back). When i removed the buff, no problems at all. I think the 6" slides move very fast and have quite a bit of inertia. Maybe a recoil reducer would work, something that has two springs at different rates.
