  1. Are you sure you don't have them in the wrong order, LOL. 45 brass can't fit trough the 40 or 9 mm tray. It gets trapped in the 45 tray 40 brass goes through the 45 but can't fit through the 40 tray. It gets trapped in the 40 tray You get the idea for 9 mm Sounds like a User error I use these and they work perfectly. It is (almost) idiot proof
  2. I enjoy the Shoot Fast podcast with Cody Axon and his dear friend, Joel Park
  3. If you look at the results of the 2019 Miami Open, Speedy beat Max by 7%. They shot almost the identical # of A/C/D/M in a similar amount of time. The Minor vs. Major scoring was the difference. If a CO shooter beats Open, they are not of equal ability
  4. Wow. So, the world champion dumps SVI for ~10K and some bullets while Bryce Harper gets 330 million after hitting .249. Not getting rich shooting, even at the pinnacle of the sport
  5. Anyone have a guess-timate how much the top shooters are getting to make a change like this?
  6. The other thing to consider is that if you want to use a thumb rest with a 90* mount, you might need to use a racker on the right side of the gun. Real estate gets tight if you want both on the left. Before I change to an RTS2, I had a 90* slideride. The minimal difference in height above the bore has not been relevant
  7. Huh?? A single sided safety does nothing to fix dragging the strong hand thumb on the slide. Needs a shield. Another vote for DoubleTap here but the Limcat version looks good
  8. The first line of therapy are Beta blockers. If you have not done so already, see a neurologist to exclude other neurologic conditions
  9. 1:8 lanolin: alcohol I saved this from an unknown website: Home made case lube:I have used this for years on 22-250 and .223. Works great.Step One -Gather contents - Liquid Lanolin (100% pure was $7.00 at the local health food store) Isopropyl Alcohol (at minimum 91% $1.19 at the local drug store - 99% is best couldn't find it) If you go to an Auto Store ISO HEET is 99% Isopropyl New or Clean spray bottle (from the "Dollar" store) has ratio markings and ounce markings so it helps Step Two Warm the Lanolin in warm tap water (110 to 120 degrees F - NO OPEN FLAMES!) Do the same for the IPA, this will help in the mixing process. Step Three Pour 2 (two) ounces of the warmed Lanolin into the spray bottle Step Four Pour 16 (sixteen) ounces of the warmed IPA into the spray bottle giving you an 1:8 ratio This seem to be the ratio that best mimics Dillon Spray Lube (add more IPA if you feel it is too thick in your dies)Step Five Shake until contents becomes homogenized and label the bottle accordingly (so you don't confuse it with CLP or something)
  10. Not exactly. You do not need 6 A scores to move up to A class. Your average of the best 6 of the last 8 needs to be greater than 75%.
  11. But what about the children dust, LOL
  12. The LAST EIGHT= The newest. Therefore, the OLDEST gets dropped. If you go to the USPSA website, look at the CONCISE view under the classifier lookup. It might be easier for you to follow
  13. Not an Atlas. Rafferty Custom with an SV Hybrid barrel, 3 holes
  14. Some of us still enjoy picking up brass LOL
  15. No. He's loading supercomp, not 9Major I load 10.6g of 3n38 in 38 SC with essentially no spillage. I also use Spillstop from Reloading Innovations
  16. The Internet is a double edged sword. Reputations can be made or lost. Let the games begin.
  17. I agree with this. If you want to be a better Production shooter, shoot Production. I wasted 2017 trying to compete in 4 divisions. It was fun but my progress stagnated. I dedicated 2018 to shooting only one division and my classification/match results improved significantly
  18. A progressive press without a casefeeder is IMO suboptimal/dumb. Get a 550 or 650. Read Enos' thoughts on the SDB. He does not recommend it
  19. I am sure there were some shooting minor with .40
  20. What kind of holster is used for this ?
  21. I think that some pistol shooters still look at HOA (which really doesn't exist) on PractiScore and get "butthurt" when they get beat by PCC shooters. HOA is not a thing. As an Open shooter, I compare myself to other Open shooters. If I get beaten by a PCC shooter, it means nothing. How many times must this dead horse be beaten? Let it go....
