As a shift worker sometimes if I want to make it to a match I have to do it on no sleep after working all night. I will have to say that I usually shoot as well or better than I do with a good nights sleep probably because I feel so bad that I'm running on auto pilot and just doing it with out over thinking everything.

Not sure what you mean by semi loose, but they hold them tight enough that I don't generally have to worry about them being there when I need them. You can knock shells out of just about any of them if you try hard enough, but it seems to me that Invictus has about the best tension for keeping the shells on your belt but still allowing you to pull then off easily to load fast.

Get some Invictus practical caddies and some dummy rounds and start practicing quad loading.

I got this scope mounted and zeroed on the wife and I's rifles last weekend. So far I am very impressed. Nothing different than what everyone else has said. The glass is much better than you would expect from a scope at this price point. The dot isn't daylight bright, but I very seldom ever turned on the illumination on my last scope unless it was getting towards the end of the day. The reticle is what makes this scope. It takes a little getting used to with bracketing holdovers, but they are dead on with my 69 grain load. Looking forward to what they have in store for the future.

He knew you were out of state and weren't going to take it to court. It would have been interesting to watch him testify to "estimating" your speed. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

I couldn't leave it alone. Loaded up a few more with 4.2 grains of Power Pistol. Got the velocity up to 950fps and low and behold the tumbling went away and accuracy was OK, but not spectacular. I guess I'll be able to use up the bullets, but it isn't going to be the soft shooter I was hoping for. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

That's what I'm thinking, but if I push them any faster it defeats my purpose. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

Tried .356 and .357. Bore slugs at .355. Bullet is .682 long. Gave up after .357. I'm chalking it up to a failed experiment. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

I think it is just too long to stabilize at the speeds I want to shoot it at. I could probably switch to a slower powder and drive it harder, but that kind of defeats the purpose. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

I am officially giving up on the Lyman 356637 bullet. No matter what I do I can't keep it from tumbling. Back to the 125 grain black bullets. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

Gotcha. Think I'm going to run with win231 for awhile. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

Wasn't aware I was trying to impress anyone. Just looking for some information. Since I have been "coached" in the past I guess I will just say thank you for your input. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

I went ahead and tried win231. I started at 3.1 grains at 1.058 oal for an average of 825fps. Since my bullet drops from the mold at 156 grains I am getting just over minimum power factor. I may bump it up just a touch more for insurance, but so far I'm happy. Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

I am working up a load for hi tek coated Lyman#356637. My original plan was to use the pile of win231 I have accumulated, but looking for load data hasn't turned up much. Just looking for some input as to what everyone else is using. So far I have tried power pistol, titegroup and unique all of which I have published data for. I haven't found anything impressive yet.

I found a 60" soft case on eBay for my wife's M3000. It's not the best case but it was the only one I could find at the time that would hold the shotgun with the plus nine installed. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

Pmags are relatively cheap and available. I carry three loaded 40's, four 30's and a 20 to most matches that way I usually can go the day without ever reloading a mag. One less thing to worry about. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

I too was wondering what the deal was. They were there and then they were gone. How do the fiochhi primers compare to the s&b? Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

Old thread apologies. Why do you think the lfcd caused bullets to tumble?If you are using mixed brass the Lee factory crimp die can cause problems by swaging bullets too small in cases with thicker walls. On another note, if you put the lock ring on the bottom of the tool head for Lee dies, try tightening with a ratchet and a deep wall socket. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

I agree that dry tumbled brass works just fine. For me the biggest benefit of wet tumbling is the ability to clean around 1500 cases at a time as opposed to a couple hundred in my old vibratory tumbler. I don't even use the pins on pistol brass anymore. I just run them in hot water with a capful of the hornady ultrasonic cleaning solution, rinse and right into the dehydrator.

I noticed it too. I started drying my cases in a old food dehydrator to cut down on water spots and spraying my cases with one shot before they go into the case feeder and the problem went away. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

You know what they say about things that seem too good to be true. Ordered the trimmer and die. Never received a confirmation email. Checked my account online and it listed my order as cancelled. Tried to call and ask and nobody will answer the phone. Oh well, it was worth a shot. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

Just ordered the trimmer and die. I figured I would take a shot for less than half the cost of the rt1500. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

I run the lee factory crimp die. I had the extra station on my 650 so it doesn't add any more time to the process. I wasn't having any trouble before, but the die is inexpensive and I figured it was cheap insurance.

Not a big uspsa guy but I'm pretty sure you can. I think everything is scored major in production regardless of power factor hence no advantage to the larger caliber. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

Take a look at the CMC triggers. They are only slightly higher than the one you listed and a drop in unit. I have been running one for a couple months with no complaints. Mine came of the prize table at Generation 3 gun. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk
