ss+P, that will be plenty. Area 6 match is usually around 330 if I remember that report I saw a couple months ago.
I'm shooting on Sunday, planning on driving down from Atlanta Saturday morning, and then returning to Sunday night or early Monday. Is there anybody making a similar drive or will be passing through around then and wants split gas?
-
Anyone find temp sensitivity with csb1
I don't have enough data to definitively say, but from what I have shot, I'd say I don't think there's much.

I've got the RNT tab installed now. Only moderately content. Looks like a cheap, reliable option. But much more force is required to engage the bolt release. It also makes it much more difficult (almost impossible) to use the bolt release to release shells from the magazine when dry-firing and unloading.
I will do my best to get a replacement screw from Beretta and keep this in the bag if needed. I shot a match last weekend with nothing on the button and I didn't have any issues, so this isn't much of an improvement.

Wow, Limited is looking strong. I better step up my practice if I expect to do well.

All of Alabama is CST, except for Phenix City (where East Alabama Gun Club is). This is being held at Dothan Gun Club, and is therefore CST.

I sent an email several days ago and did not get a response.

Mine did the same thing. Call beretta and they should send you the parts you need. I however went to lowes and found a stainless screw that was longer and loctited that sucker in. I think this the better way to go as this is a known problem on this gun.I'm at 1k rounds without cleaning. It did NOT like the Winchester Super target stuff I tried to put through it last weekend. Switched back to Federal and had no problems other than one failure to feed from magazine tube. Spring is in need of replacing. Unfortunately, the bolt release button screw backed out and lost itself.
I need part 160

Brownells wants to charge $14.16 for one tiny ass screw. Anyone have a better source, or know exactly what kind it is so I can get it from a hardware store?
Send, for FREE?! haha
the M3 x6mm stainless screws I got from the hardware store aren't quite long enough.
-
Ok, so I'll just use the exploitation of my body to get a slot. Sounds good.
-
Does this match typically fill up? I will be in Texas around this time, but won't know if I'd be able to shoot until a few weeks beforehand. And unfortunately, it would probably need to be Saturday or Sunday.
-
Yeah If you don't mind me asking, what was your total cost to get everything necessary?
200 bucks, just like every gun I've ever bought!
(nice try honey, but 'spook' accounts aren't fooling me! btw, was that a new purse you brought home the other night?)
bluedevil,(incase you're not my wife)
I've had the gun(see start of this thread) and most the other stuff laying around for awhile. The only things I 'picked' up recently were the A400 speedbead mount & the chute. I would "guess" $1200-$1400 would get you pretty close,...unless of course you're good at finding smokin deals, like me!
I already have the shotgun, so I'd need the chute, and 6-7 loading thingies, plus an optic and mount. That all sounds like it's going to run me close to a grand.
Was your estimate including the shotgun? haha
-
Yeah If you don't mind me asking, what was your total cost to get everything necessary? I'm tempted to switch to open next year, but the shotguns are so expensive!
Also, I just picked up some stainless M3 x 6mm screws at ACE for .17each. They are phillips head though, so I will update tonight after I see how they work.
-
M3 X 6MM button head screw.
Yeppers! Loctite small screw threadlocker, not 242.
So this is what I need?:
-
I just bought one of these as well. Seems to be a very nice gun. Has anyone done any force cone work, trigger work, computer anaylsis with different chokes. Also where do you guys send your guns for mods such as trigger work and some of the other mods such as loading port. Also is edm porting really worth it? I didn't mean to jump of your post Jedi but thought it would be good questions to ask on here rather than starting another post.(I will do so if its a problem)
Thanks in advance!
What do you need trigger work for? My factory trigger is absolutely perfect. I've actually bump fired it one time before shooting low-recoil slugs, so I definitely would not want it any lighter.
-
I'd be interested to hear about a cheaper screw, I stripped the head out on mine a while back trying to make sure that sucker didn't back out. Someday I'm gonna want to take it apart again and I'll need a new screw. Are you at 1k total rounds or just 1k uncleaned? Cause I'm at 2k uncleaned with 2.5k on a Nordic spring cut only 4" out of a 10 round tube with not a single malfunction on almost only 1145fps federal loads. Knocking on wood as I write this.
I'm at around 2.5k total, without cleaning the last 1k. It's been flawless until the last few hundred rounds. I am going to replace the mag tube spring and give it a thorough cleaning, make sure I run the Federal stuff or better at matches and I'll have 100% confidence in it. For how I run this thing, a few malfunctions (95%) caused by bad ammo, I can accept a problem here or there.
I didn't realize that RNT tab isn't fastened on to the gun in any way. Makes me a bit uncomfortable that it could fall out mid-stage.

Alright, I'm convinced I need to throw a better fiber optic sight on the front. Looking for a bigger brighter sight. Which do you guys recommend? And I have ZERO idea how to install, do they all work the same way?
-
that is a great payout structure.
Is there a minimum required number of shooters per class for you to qualify for the payout or if I am 1 of 1 am I getting paid?
don't think there is only 1 in any class, but just asking.
"Prizes based on USPSA structure"
There's a minimum for 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd, etc.
-
Recommended PF is 125. Steel must fall to score
-
What kind of match is this typically? Speed shoot, complicated shots, physically demanding? I'll shoot anything, just wondering! I used a visit to Charleston as an excuse to shoot another major this spring haha
-
Yes, slots still available.
-
For anyone wondering, the style of this match is more like ProAm than Steel Challenge. These are not static stages, you will be moving and shooting multiple arrays, consisting of primarily knockdown steel. There will be optional bonus targets that subtract from your time if you choose to take them. Top shooters in each division and class will walk the table first, and then it will go to order of finish. We have several GM's signed up already so it will be a challenge for those wanting it, but lower class shooters will still be competing amongst their class. The par time for each stage is set so that most middle of the pack shooters will be able to clean the stage, so your score is your time and not amount of plates, but plates left standing will assess penalties. It can be quite frustrating and sometimes a little too humbling when you shoot a ProAm and you barely get half of the plates, so that is not the stage design intention for this match.
Hope to see you all there! Dothan Gun Club opened last year and they have been killing it with tons of monthly matches and they'll be more than ready for their first "major."

Got a new digital scale so I assume it's a bit more accurate than my POS Lee scale.
Using 4.8gr to push a 180gr JHP at 1.180 to 927FPS average, but there's a pretty large std deviation.

Anyone know if the Ltd division is going to count as a classifier?
