cool. good for you for filming.

Anyone seen any Ramshot Tac anywhere? I've been able to get primers...but I can't find Tac for my rifle to save my life...
-
Did you get it fixed? I've had problems with alignment for seating primers. Index pawl was adjusted properly, and I'd loosen the 2 screws that bolt the shell plate platform to the main shaft, try to hold it in place as I tightened those screws. Still wouldn't really fix it, and to be honest, I didn't find Dillon's alignment tool all that helpful. The trouble comes loading military .223 brass. I think it's just that maybe the primer pockets are not consistently in the center of the cases. I've learned how much pressure I can apply, without smashing the primer. If it's not going to go, I give the case a spin, and then normally the primer will seat (hence why I think it's maybe my brass... although I've tried lots of different head stamps, and all give me the same problem). After battling this for a while, they sent me a replacement shell plate platform, and that seemed to help some.
To try to alleviate the brass issue, I've been trying to swage it as much as possible...keeping the case support rod long enough that the case fits tightly into the swage maybe 60-70% of the time, and takes a light tap with a hammer or deburring of the flash hole to get the case to fit into the swage the other 30-40% of the time. I thought this method was working pretty well...not having to spin as many cases to get the primer to seat.... until I had a primer fall out of a round and jam up the lugs in my rifle at the local 3gun match this past weekend. So now I wonder if I'm over-swaging?? Never a dull moment....
What is it they say? If it was easy, everyone would do it?

Flies
in What I Hate
I concur... BGE = awesome. Flies = absolutely terrible.
I like to think everything on God's good earth has purpose, meaning, value, etc. That said, if all flies were instantaneously removed from the earth, I don't think they'd be missed by anyone or anything...the world would only get better and more awesome

Jesse...what's your best advice re: how to start getting paid to put stickers on your guns? I use a 28" M2 with a 12 round Nordic tube and USAA....lots of available space, both on the gun and in my bank account

Why does PV not sell to AL, TN or GA?

Local matches, I just keep shooting...use it as practice, and go home frustrated I shot at it for so long...
"Big" matches (ie any kind of prize table), I try to "optimize" and leave targets when appropriate...and go home frustrated that I missed, but hopefully with a prize in hand to bury my sorrows into...
The only real common theme I've found is going home frustrated. Why do we do this again??
-
I use some low-friction wheel bearing grease I got at Home Depot for all of the contact points on the press, and motor oil for the main shaft

I have a Glock 34 that I have been getting set up for 3gun. I just sent it to Taran at TTI for a grip job, sights, mag well, etc. They've been GREAT to work with. Very responsive, super friendly and accommodating. Well I've called a couple of times in the morning, Taran himself has answered the phone, chatted with me at length to answer my questions. It's been a wonderful customer service experience. I'll update once I get the gun back, but so far, I would highly recommend using TTI for competition gunsmithing.

KMC just search in the Dillon forum and you'll find LOTS of threads talking about this problem. People have all sorts of fixes from timing the spring to different ball bearings, etc. There's about 100 different ways people have tackled this issue, from very simple to very complex...
-
I've got a 14.5" Noveske with a fixed pinned surefire brake on it. I didn't buy it for 3 gun, but that's what I use it for now, and I really like it. The Leupold Mark 6 1x6 makes a much bigger difference than running a 20" barrel with cheap glass, IMHO.

What is the ratchet's purpose?
-
that's surprising...I've never had any issues with Berry's. Getting ready to load 124 grain's with Hodgdon Clay's for my G34...hoping I don't have any issues

What's the 1 grip you have left made of?

I have a Benelli M2 field that I primarily shoot for 3gun. It's a 28" barrel I run with an IC choke. I have a +9 Nordic tube with a clamp on it, a c-rums carrier, Arredondo bolt release, Nordic charging handle, etc.
EVERY time I shoot this gun, it cuts up my cheek, in various forms or fashions (carnage looks different every time, but I'm consistently getting banged up). From what I can tell, I'm pretty sure that the problem is happening at the transition from the plastic stock to Benelli's "gill" / "ComforTech" system cheek pad (the "cushion" pad that "inflates" with the recoil of the gun from what I understand?). I've taken some photos below...in the photos it looks more like a bruise (this weekend), but it is actually more of a cut / scrape.
It's hardly a life threatening injury, but when it happens every time I shoot the gun, it gets pretty old.
Has anyone ever had similar problems? Any suggestions to mitigate?
Thanks.

I have several thousand rounds of .308 brass that is going to get tumbled in my buddy's Dillon CV-750 vibratory tumbler with Dillon's corn cob media and polish. I'm going to sort through the brass, pull out damaged non-reloadable cases, and count out batches for tumbling.
How many .308 cases can I reasonably expect to fit in the 750 tumbler (the smaller of the two Dillon makes)? I want the brass to get very clean, nice and shiny... but I would rather not do several more tumbling cycles than is necessary.
Anyone have any experience with this set-up / able to make a recommendation?
Thanks.
-
Thanks guys.
Stick, I'd love to shoot Titegroup...that's what I was planning to get for months...but I haven't been able to find it and got tired of waiting. Saw the clays in stock, remembered reading on BE that it seems to be very popular, so I went for it. So we'll see how it turns out....

Does anyone run this set up?
I've had the bullets for a while, have been on a powder hunt, and just (finally) found some Hodgdon Clays in stock on Powder Valley.
I'll be shooting this ammo for 3gun and USPSA Limited Division out of a Glock 34.
I'm having trouble finding load data for the 124 grain 9mm round nose Berry's Bullet. Does anyone have good load data for me with this particular bullet with Hodgdon Clays behind it? A safe range and a good starting load?
Thanks.

Makes sense, I miss read.

I have five single mag holders on my belt with rounds facing forward and a double in the small of my back. The first mag in the double is my barney, the second is my starting magazine (so I'm shooting with one pouch position open on a loaded start), and both magazines are facing opposite of my reloads.
Why wouldn't you pull your barney and loaded-start mag from your most rear-ward mag pouch? If you're not on the clock, might as well use the mags that are the farthest away, leaving your most forward / closest mags for when time counts?

It's only nerdy if it looks nerdy...
The Suunto Core is sweet. I've used it for two years in military special operations training, and wore it for a month on the Colorado river through the Grand Canyon, in the winter. It's bomber.
Boston Butt - how long is too long for the rub?
