    Match score upload question

    in General Match Issues

    Posted · Edited by IronicTwitch

    As the score uploader for my club, it is just as easy as described above. You can do it all on your smart phone.  

     

    That said, I've only recently started doing uploads to USPSA from the master scoring device.  Last, paying for the match is usually a once a month thing (we shoot 3 matches a month and the club director has the bank info, not me) unless we've shot a classifier then we'll be sure it gets paid before the Wednesday update.

    If money is no issue, what is your favorite 40 major powder? Why?

    Titegroup and N320 we're the top two on every division's equipment survey for 2017 (except Open, of course).  Nothing else was more than 12%, most stayed in the single digits.

     

    Specifically for Limited, TG had 30% and N320 had 28%.  WST in a distant third place with 9%.

     

    Debatable to say those that can afford to travel to Nationals have a bit more invested in the sport. I wouldn't expect N320 to score as high at a L2 or local.  So TG for the win?

     

    Personally, WST since it's made at St. Marks, FL. (so is TG) vs N320 from across the pond.

    It’s easier to lightly coat the inside of a small bucket or tupperware with one shot, drop a few handfuls of brass in, and shake.

     

    Keeps the lube exclusively on the outside of the brass, and is still very fast.

     Or use a gallon zip lock bag

    Subminor in my new gun with my regular load

    in What I Hate

    Posted

    Got a 9mm 1911 and found time (and weather warm enough) to chrono my regular load in it.  Discovered most rounds are going subminor!  980-1,000 fps with 125gr

     

    Fortunately I brought along my CZ Shadow for a sanity check, same loads chrono 50fps faster (1030-1050) through that 0.4 inch shorter barrel.  

     

    Glad I got to the chrono before loading another few thousand rounds!  I hate that I've got about 2K rounds that are only good in my CZ...

    Classifieds in high gear

    in Miscellaneous Topics That Do Not Fit in Any Other Forum

    Posted

    Is it just me but are the classifieds in higher gear than normal this year??  I know holiday bonus and tax returns are typically the busy time of year (and the off season).  It just seems more than the past few years.

     

    So is everyone switching divisions, primary guns, adding backup guns, testing for something different just because, or just finally got enough saved up for the cool blaster you wanted in your collection?

     

    I'm in the last crowd.  Picked up a barely used AccuShadow. 

     

    I was planning to sell my DW Specialist to fund it, but with the classifieds kinda overwhelmed I think it'd get lost in the noise.

    Managing weight of a 9mm 1911 for USPSA Single-Stack Minor

    My Springfield 9mm RO is currently at 40.3 with the aluminum housing and magwell and FO front sight.  I am using Magpul grips which seem very light.

    I like the idea of a FLGR and it would seem that I can spend some weight on that.  Which one do you recommend?

    I got the full guide rod from Wilson.  Really runs smooth with regular recoil springs.  I did have to file and fit the angle.

     

    I tried the Wilson flat recoil guide rod and springs, but the flat springs are noisy and the 13# was too much for my 130pf loads.  I couldn't find another option for lower flat recoil spring weight.

    Dillon Square Deal Shell Plate Bolt

    in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment

    Posted

    I broke that bolt once in about 5K, BUT it was due to me pushing too hard to seat primers in shallow primer pockets (poor sampling of 45ACP HRTRS).  I do recall I felt the bolt start to give and stupidly just pushed through until it snapped.  Had to drill out the middle of the broken bolt and jam a screwdriver on it to back it out.  Dillon sent me two as a replacement and I haven't had any issues since in over 10K rounds and counting.  I also know not to overexert on the priming stroke now.
