Acoustical tiles behind the press. That's next level.
Bravo.
I don't know if they actually do anything. The echo-ness of the room has gone down quite a bit since I added more shelving and since it's currently filled with boxes.

This is an older photo of mine, before it was finished. I don't think I have a current photo (which is good, because it's a mess right now)

I know this is a bit old, but I just found it as I'm taking CRO course next month. Gotta say thanks to TennJeep, excellent tutorial and appreciate the download links, I was able to design a decent(at least I think so!!) stage in just a few hours without ever using Sketchup before. The only thing I think that would improve it is to show how to make a WSB with the designed stage, I figured out how to but I think it could complete the package. Again thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
Oh, and here is a link to the stage walkthrough vid I made .

You're very welcome. Glad it helped you. I'll see if I can find time to sit down and do a WSB video. I found a template online at some point and modified it to work for me, but I guess it would be nice to share it with everyone.

The combination of a quality (tunable) comp, adjustable gas block, low mass carrier, and the JP SCS buffer system (with lightest weight spring) is the best combination I've found. Especially if you use a rifle length gas system.

SRP work in every 2011 open gun I've owned/own
they'll run fine in the CK as long as they are seated! correctly, i.e. flush or slightly below!
This. Check the breech face after a while to make sure it doesn't show any signs of gas cutting, but it shouldn't with 9 major pressure. -
I like the way the Bigmouth magwell feels like it kinda cramps my hand and pushes it up into a really tight grip, but I feel like some of the other options reload smoother. The angle at the bottom of the magwell is a little shallow, compared to others.

Salomon Speedcross are very popular. Also take a look at Boombah Hellcats and many of the options from Inov-8.

Did you actually read the thread, or are you just trying to get to 50 posts so you can sell something?

The Dillon sizing/decapping dies also do a good job of punching the primers free of the primer pockets (especially if you bevel the end of the decapping pin). I've had some problem with other brand decapping dies not pushing the primer far enough down to clear the case.
On the note of the e-clips. Do yourself a favor and pick up a handful when you get some from the hardware store. I tend to break one every 8-10K rounds. -

He should be used to it by now.

My preference was to remove material from the magwell, but it was much easier to grind down a few of the "nubs" at the bottom of of the grip. I forgot to take close-up shots after I was done.

What wood is everyone using? Pine or something harder like maple?
My old bench had 2 layers of 3/4" pine plywood laminated together. I found it a little soft at times, so I planned on doing the same thing with a piece of hardwood lauan on top this time. That is, until I priced everything and thought about all the time it would take to laminate and cut, so I just bought some Acacia butcher block from a local "salvage" store.

Well, hopefully that gets sorted out soon! Your space looks amazing.
Even without granite.
Lol, thanks! I've got what I think is going to be a pretty cool idea for moveable ceiling mounted lights and camera, but it will deserve a separate thread once I get it all done. The parts needed for a proof of concept should be here tomorrow.

Man, that stinks. Frustrating when you spend that amount and don't get everything you need to run it.
Definitely. Mark 7 has been very helpful throughout the process, it's just been drawn out because of having to figure out exactly what I'm missing and who's going to pay for it.

You still haven’t caught the sarcasm in that one?
I did, it was just fitting to bring it up.

Putting all that money into the room them leaving the 1050 as a Peasant Edition doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Someone once told me that I should use granite as the bench top, and that didn't make a lot of sense either....

Did I see you got a Mark7 coming for your 1050?
Well, I've got the Mark 7, it just didn't come with all the necessary parts. I bought it from a retailer (not directly from Mark 7) and I'm pretty sure it was previously bought and returned, so I've spent the last week talking to both the retailer and Mark 7 trying to sort out the best way to get those missing parts. I'm actually expecting to get an email with a solution at any time.

Here is the current progress on my new reloading bench. I still have quite a bit of work to do before I finish it, I just need to find the time.
Here is an album of the progress, with some descriptions of the process: https://imgur.com/a/NP9maZa

The Limcat is thinner and lighter than the EVO. The texture is not abrasive on the limcat compared to the EVO or the regular PT classic rough texture .
The EVO is larger in the hand compared to the classic and the classic is larger than the Limcat if that helps .
I agree with all of that. One thing that surprised me about the Limcat grip was how thin it felt, side to side. It almost felt like a mag wouldn't fit inside it. I really like the aggressiveness of the PT Evo, but I didn't feel like the Limcat grip was lacking grip at all.

I'm a member of 2 ranges. One is a small 25yd pistol range about 20 minutes away, run by the local FOP, for $50/year. The other is a USPSA range that's 1hr 15min away, for $100/year. The USPSA range typically more than pays for itself since it offers a $10 discount at matches.

This may not be what you're looking for, but I wrote this as a guide to help new shooters:

I uploaded a couple more videos earlier this week. I'm at a bit of a conundrum. I'd like to make more of these, but the free trial of the animation software ended, and I'm not sure if it's worth $40 to buy the full software.

Welcome! Based on your avatar, I think I know you.

I bought 18 linear feet of that butcher block countertop for a little over $500, if I recall correctly. A local salvage/import place had it for a much better price than anyone else. By the time I added up how much time and effort it would take me to make a solid benchtop myself, I just made sense to buy it.
