  1. When I started shooting Pcc I used autocomp because I had a lot. It was too dirty and lots of unburnt powder. Switched to titrgroup and that wasn't much better. I had a 4 pound jug if CSB1 that I bought during the Obama years panic. I gave it a try. It is the best pistol powder I have ever used. It's very clean and and shoots great. I ended up buying all I could from my friends. ( we split a barrel back then) I was told it's equivalent to universal.

    I don't see how a 3d printed case feeder will be, "clean looking" compared to a Dillon.  You can get the case feeders from Scheels.com with free shipping.

    I 3D printed this bullet feeder. I might not be as "clean" looking but I don't think it looks bad.  It works perfect and for the less than $150 plus my time in it.

    I haven't yet found a powder that doesn't cause lead fouling with SNS bullets, between the wheelgun and my .40 Open range toy. Bullseye, Clays, Zip, True Blue, CFE Pistol, 3N38... all yield massive amounts of buildup. I thought it might have been too much crimp, but pulled bullets don't show any marking on the coating at all, much less cuts.

    I would get lead built up also with SNS. I used a big flare and no crimp. Only took the flare out with a FCD.

    Unintentional discharges happen, but often they aren't DQs. Change your shorts and onto the next stage.

    I had this happen last month. Shooting PCC had a reload then weak side targets. While switching hands I must have bumped the trigger. I hesitated for a second waiting for the stop command but never heard it. I finished the stage leaving one target with only 1 hit (Virginia count). After unloading and flagging  I questioned the RO and he said it impacted the berm just to the left of the target. So no DQ.

  5. I started with a Lee turret I picked up used and super cheap. Went to a 550 when my some and I started shooting SC and USPSA. I've added to it over the years. First a case feeder then a bullet feeder I made on a 3D printer. It more than meets my needs. I like the case feeder so you never have to take your right hand off the handle. With the bullet feeder my left hand rests on a box and only have to move slightly to index.  I don't mind mind manual indexing. To me it is not a race. 20210130_184607.thumb.jpg.21eb3e867370d8c30e9a999505c167a5.jpg

  6. I am the same as I can only shoot on weekends. Instead of shooting matches every weekend maybe use one weekend to practice. Do draws and transition drills. Something that has helped me a lot is a met some great guys and shoot with them at most matches. Getting tips from them on stage plans and techniques has done more for my improvements than anything else. 

  7. It's possible a 3 once buffer could work. It depends on bolt weight and the spring your using. I have an ATI Milsport and I've tried all different combinations of springs and buffers but never been able dot bounce and recoil down as good as my JP. I've tried buffers from 3 to 7 ounces and springs for 223 and 308 for both rifle and carbine. I even tried removing the weight from the bolt. You might have better luck with a JP, Taccom or Blitzkraig buffer. I've tried 115, 124, 130, and 147 grain bullets and settled on 130 gr bullets with a 132 power factor. 

  8. Changing to a JP, Taccom, or Blizkraig buffer will help with recoil. But light reloads will do the most to help with recoil. I get mine down to 130 pf out of my 16 inch pcc. They won't even function out of most of my hand guns(112 pf out of 5.25 barrel). Practice reloads. I only shoot USPSA so I'm not sure if these apply. Don't go to deep into windows and pockets so your not having to back out. Practice hard weak side leans. Stage planning has helped me the most you don't shoot the stage the same as pistol.
