Shannon and crew are at St. George ,setting up and running Hi Cap Nationals right now. They will probably be back in Fl. next week.

It is not due to a mechanical design flaw, it is on purpose, it saves s&w time and money by not having to fit the screw to the crane by using the plunger with spring. It's ALL about the $$$ they used to be solid.

No that is 6 inches!!

I have not checked recently, but Apple tablets had the programing to do shotguns but android did not. You do not want to get any wet, but they have been used successfully for a lot of wet matches around the country. The screen won't recognize your finger as well when wet. Sync them where you have wifi or use your phone as a hot spot, set a tablet at each station, when done with match bring them back together and re sync and you're done.

CONGRATULATIONS TO Michael, Alexander, James and Josh for winning their divisions at the IRC !!!!!!!!!

We have allowed two guns at our major matches under the following conditions; Must be in different divisions, no discounted price, they are both full price and therefore both are able to win awards and walk the prize table. Can't shoot them the same day, we have you shoot one with the staff and the other in the main match. Trophies are in order of finish, and on some matches we have included cash in order of finish, and the prize table is random. This has worked for us and like they say YMMV.

Here is the room link and code for this match. https://secure.mesquitegaming.com/CGI-BIN/lansaweb?procfun+rn+resnet+CBL+funcparms+UP(A2560):;1MMR20;;;;?/

I believe that 9146gt's name is tom. Joe IS who you want to talk with at MOJO CUSTOM GUNS. He is the owner and the smith there. He does great work.

Which squad are you on?

I will do that for practice and local matches, but I still demoon all partial full moons and then load the moons full with fresh ammo, [stuff that hasn't been in the gun while other rounds have been fired] just because I don't want to risk bullet creep happening during a major match.

On the cast boolit site there is a guy by the name of Smoke that sells the powder. General price is a vout $15 a pound, but you can coat 10,000 with one pound. Another place is powder by the pound, and eastwoods. You want to get the powders that you can "shake and bake" with so you don't have to buy a spray gun. harbor freight has the powder cheaper but it is too coarse to stick and cover as well. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?252509-VS-Hi-Quality-Powdercoating-Powder-For-sale

To me PCing is easy and faster for me, I cast them, shake them in a plastic bottle with the powder coat powder, dump them out on a screen to separate the extra powder then dump them on a tray covered with non-stick foil, put in toaster oven for 20 min. at 400 degrees, remove cool and size, then load them up and shoot.

Jason, I believe that the smoke you were seeing is coming from the Alox and any other wax lube you may have been using. Switch to powdercoated and most of that smoke will go away. With the right powders for PC, you can shake and bake your own cast bullets almost as easy as using the tumble lube and you won't have the build up of wax in your seating die.

These will work well for Steel Challenge.

There are a lot of things that can make a difference in the muzzle velocity. I have a 4 inch 627 that always shoots the same load at least 5 to 10 PF higher than the same load through a 5 inch 627 that I have. tighter or looser barrel dimensions and differences in cylinder gaps. I am using 150 grain coated in short colt cases. 5 inch 627= 110 to 118 PF 4 inch 627 = 126 to 131 PF 6 1/2 in 627= 131 to 138PF 6 1/2 in 929 = 139 to 145 PF These are just some of the results I have had shooting the same load through different guns.

If you are not loading to the MAX every time , you should expect 20 to 30 times of use before failing. A lot depends on how much you are flaring the case mouth, if you flare a lot expect them to fail sooner.

Nothing is legal there, it's all illegal!!!LOL

I have done this, but I don't think that I'm going to stay with it. Using the same charge and switching from a 150 gr. to a 115, made a really soft shooting load. The draw back is that it showed me that I was not calling my shots, but was waiting to hear the steel ring. Thus all of my stage times went up. I know that to be competitive you can't wait to hear the ring. So I will go back to the 150's and work on calling my hits.

I have and use one of the competition 02 holsters. I use it with my S&W 686, and my 617 and then switch and use it with my Ruger GP100 10 shot 22 and al three work well in that holster. These are all 6 inch guns.

Pat you already have that option, but it just doesn't make any difference in scoring for ICORE LOL

Well you need to run all of that FM past a magnet, since they are not making stepped anymore they have some that is brass washed steel cases.

Jason use the 230's. The reload ease is more than worth it in my opinion . They just fall in, so major scoring and a bit faster reloads help close the distance when competing against 8 shot minor in USPSA.

Matt you may want to try the moons you already have that you are using for your Federal 38 brass, I have found that they work well with my short colt brass.
