Remember when there was only Open and limited and when the wide bodies first came out? 1911's were competing against the wide bodies for quite some time. If you don t have enough competition/competitors in SS put your big boy pants on and enter limited. That is challenging.

That grip tape will put you way over the weight limit for SS ?

Years ago I was shooting bowling pins indoors and it was recommended that i have a blood test because after each session would sweep up with a mask. Well low and behold my count was 63. Went through all the tests and chelation therapy was out. Had to take a year off and was checked every month and with each test it was going down. Half life in blood if I remember correctly is 30+ days. It is a special test that requires a specific tube for the blood draw. Think the glass is lead free. Anyway get checked and you will have a benchmark to go by. Jon

+1 I do not have any primers in the tube when adjusting the powder charge.

+1 It almost looks like the crimp is above the brass.

Are you loading them all to the same overall length? If so that can be a problem because of the ogive. You may have to seat the bullet deeper into the case. Jon

How was the recoil out of the 1050?

I would welcome the teens...

Or maybe the spring is too long and binds up in the firing pin hole causing light strikes. Jon

Even at 30ft it can be unsafe. Just saying..... Jon

Happy birthday Gary

We had about a dozen on stage 1. Moving backwards and to the right around a wall while doing a reload. If you were not paying attention it was pretty easy to break the 180 at the corner. Jon

It is the primers. They do not function as they should in the cold. Please send all the leftovers to me.
