  1. I'm using 6.8 grains of WAC. The odd thing is I use the same load when using brass and shell shock cases. This only happens with the shell shock.
  2. I've recently switch over to shell shock cases and have noticed sparks shoot out of the ejection port every few round ( maybe 1 in 8 or 10 ). Has anyone seen this before? Is this something to be concerned with. They are brand new cases that I have loaded and are being fired for the first time.
  3. Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has ever done something like what the Clipshot app does within kdenlive or other video editing software. My guess is it would be pretty complex, but I'm new to kdenlive and video editing in general so figured I would ask here. Below are links to what the application does if you're unfamiliar with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XdrP7wUYVQ https://www.doublealpha.biz/us/clipshot Thank you,
  4. Just my two cents. I'm running a full sized Bedell Custom 2011 with his 3-port comp, an 8# recoil spring, 124gr JHP under 6.8gr WAC and magnum primers. It makes about 172PF and runs great.
  5. Hi All, I loaded a bunch of 9mm on a Dillon 650 when the sizing and de-capping die was not threaded down far enough so it was kissing the shell plate. Now I have 300 or so rounds that won't case gage or feed. I've since corrected the issue and am now wondering if I can remove the de-capping pin and then run the loaded rounds through the resizing die again so they case gage and feed. Thanks.
  6. Hi All, I record my dry fire and live fire par times with an android app called "Dry Fire Par Timer" found here -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csl1911a1.dryfirepartimer&hl=en_US I wanted a way to graph the par times for each drill over time and was also looking to learn python so I took this opportunity to write my first python application. To use it copy the the "Dry Fire Par Timer" apps database ( dryfire.db ) to your computer and open it with this python application. I tested it in Linux ( Fedora 29 ) and Windows 10. I'm sure there are some bugs and it's It's not great, just something I did with my spare time.
