That's what I'm seeing it in local stores around her for.

I'm using 5.0gr WST for 180 home cast and coated. Making 170ish PF out of my Apeiro.
ETA- 1.145 OAL

I wonder if crimed-in 40 primers and hard-seating 45 mags are a regional problem. My tripp and CMC 45 mags seat very easily, and I've yet to ever see a crimped in 40 primer (and i have tens of thousands of 40 cases).
I hadn't seen any either, then after reading this thread I found 3-4 while loading the other day. Reminds me of SPP 45
i do get small primers every now and then. I'm saving them up and I'll load them all at once for a lost brass match in some other city.
That's what I'm doing, I'm going to be loading for SS Nats in the next few weeks. So if your working the match I'm sorry!

She got a new backpack style camera bag and a macro lens for her camera!

Only time I don't go is when freezing precipitation is coming down. Did that once and barely made it home. I drive 100 miles for club matches and getting in a wreck isn't worth it.
-
Yes it is. Mine even shoots matches from time to time.

Actually I love my wife. Our anniversary is Monday and she surprised me today with my gift. A 140 mag tube and a new cr speed belt!!! I have an awesome wife!!!

When I shot Space City last November we could "rent" a Boy Scout for $40 each I think. My squad got 3. They were older and knew what was going on. It was nice, we just pitched in to keep things moving.

I shoot 45 in single stack with Wilson ETM's. I've never had an issue seating a mag. I'm using cast bullets loaded a lil long for 45.

I use a Springfield Operator. I've been very happy with it. Just added a magwell and an oversize mag release.

How sharp is the aggressive? Texture wise

I try to sort my .40 from my .45 before loading. Makes things go a lot smoother!All mine is mixed. 40 and 45
It all loads the same right? Can't I use both and the same gun?

Just do what you can do and nothing more. Don't over think it. They're just regular stages.

It looks like where the sizing die stopped

When my Apeiro came in the trigger was the only thing I didn't like about it. I stripped it down and in 30 min or so had a decent trigger. I'll quantify my definition of decent by saying I've only been competiting for a year.I played with a NIB Apeiro at the local gun store this week. The finish looked good, the slide to frame fit was slick. But the trigger and ambi safety felt like a 3rd grader fit them. They were terrible for a 2400 dollar gun..

We had a new shooter a few months ago and we failed to mention the importance of Virginia count. He had 5 extra shots on the first string. Luckily the score keeper was laughing so hard he forgot to write the time down. We all felt bad since we forgot to tell him.

I've seen this a lot. I use a water jet to cut mine. No heat at all.Just food for thought. Even the "right" steel can be made "wrong" in the cutting operation. Hacking them out with a torch and cleaning up the edges can yield poor performance. Care with the steel can be seen in how it attaches to fixtures etc.
-
I was going to wait on getting mine and just get an edge or something similar. I came across a deal and couldn't pass it up. I've been shooting competition for about a year in single stack and had been wanting to move to limited.
-
I make them. I'm located in west Texas. I just do local stuff right now because of the shipping. 3/8 mild steel is all that is needed for pistol.

I think the prosecutor didn't go after it to make sure he got the conviction. The death penalty has a tendency to scare some jurors on a close case involving the insanity BS. I could be wrong though.

Whoa, I wonder how many miles I cold ride my bike if I did this . . . before ending up in cuffs?
That depends on where you live. California - 2 miles maybe. Texas - you'd have a line wanting to ride it!

The only thing I wish it had is cocking serrations on the front of the slide. I'm used to those on my 1911 and keep finding myself grabbing there. I'll probably have Jimmy cut me some one day.
Dawson IPSC Magwell and Wilson ETM?
in 1911-style Pistols

Not sure on the ipsc magwell but I went with an ICE on my single stack gun and I run ETMs. They worked but the base pad was recessed in the mag well on mine. I had trouble seating consistently so I got the Dawson pads. Work great now.
