Well, I think you might be underestimating this. Significantly. Let's take a look at one of our National Champions classifiers: He is currently at 98.xx%. Included are 3x Hundos (one of which is a match win), and 3 x 97s Looking more closely, what were the other scores that were shot: 73 67 69 83 86 46 (followed by 100 on a reshoot) 73 (followed by 97 on a reshoot) 59 (followed by 100 on a reshoot) 100 41 (followed by 87 on a reshoot) 91 65 52 60 (following a zero) 92 96 46 57 (followed by 92 on reshoot) 36 (followed by 93 on reshoot) 94 58 (followed by 92 on reshoot) So clearly, even the best of the best still have issues. The statement that the top shooters have little difference between their typical performance and the high hit factor is laughable. The HHF, in my opinion based on a sample size of 1, is unlikely to represent the typical performance of the pinnacle at our sport. I suspect if you went through the classifiers of the super squad, it would looked strikingly similar to the above.

Only if your next scores would have been marginally above the floor of the class before they changed the HHF AND they happen to be on classifiers that were adjusted to have an increased HHF. Maybe you are going to shoot a classifier that the HHF has been adjusted down. Sitting 2.x% from my 2018 goal, I want to move up as much as many of you who have complained but a letter grade will not make me a better shooter. I really just want to improve my performance relative to the Major match winners. If I achieve this as an A or M or G it will make no difference in the end. More practice. Get faster. The classifications will fall into place

He just got my deposit!! Dan Bedell is another to consider

that's what I assumed but the SVI grip is not even listed as an option on the Custom Open Gun menu. I will give him a call...

Looking at Atlas too. Will he build with an SVI grip or just PT? Why does he “not recommend” the RTS2?

Consider putting a magnet on one of your magazine pouches. Helpful for the occasional stage where all mags start on a barrel or table

I use the Redding die for this exact purpose. I have a piece of tape on the powder measure that lists the bullet type with the corresponding micrometer setting.

Different strokes for different folks but in my opinion this is terrible advice. I went from a 550 to 650 and later added a bullet Feeder. It’s fantastic. 100 rounds in four minutes without even trying to go fast. Almost as big a change as going from the single stage press to the 550. Unless funds are in issue, there is no reason to buy a SDB

If designing a custom build, any major pros/cons to a double-sided mount?

Why? If you have to pick up the brass, why not just shoot 38SC. My entire motivation to change to 9major is based on not having to mark or chase my brass

I like it! Thanks.

Would you mind taking a picture of the Limcat on the plastic grip and also show the inside where the magwell transitions into the grip. Thank you

the Strasbourg (sp??) sock. I used this for six months. Along with orthotics and never walking barefoot, I am running 20 miles per week again

So is there a USPSA discount code? Lol

Unfortunately, I mark all of my 38 Super cases. It is by far the least enjoyable part of the reloading process. If I ever switch to 9 Major, this will be as big a factor as the cost of brass

If you are going to take the time to gauge, might as well use a Hundo because you can flip it right into the ammo box. +1 on the Shockbottle website. They sell blems for $69.00

Forum is super slow for the past few days to load new content across multiple platforms

Ok, I'm genuinely curious. I want an Open gun with an EVO grip, hard chrome finish, DT safeties, DPP optic and a CFD comp. Who is building this for me for under 4K?

Some JHPs, (Everglades V2 and Zero) have a more rounded profile than the truncated cone shape of Montana Gold or Precision Delta. My gun feeds the rounder profile better. Currently really liking the Everglades 115s

No. Shooters are not going to abandon USPSA for because they want to shoot a G19 in a vest instead of a G34. It is just not even close to being a viable alternative

I shoot there a lot. The presence of Manny Bragg and Gorka Ibanez have improved the quality (and difficulty) of the matches over the past year. Some very good shooters and generally nice people.

Have you ever shot a USPSA match? If so, go on PractiScore and check the results. Your USPSA # will be listed.

I watched the video and I am still not sure what the new technology is. New comp design? Porting? Mid-length with a steel grip? Let me know as I am interested--hoping for a nice tax refund this year and maybe a new toy

Yes. I have Double Tap shielded safeties on both of my Limited guns. I like the shape and feel very much. The PT is another option that many like but I pulled it off my Open gun and went with the Double Tap again. The angle of the PT did not work for my hand

This should be a sticky. The only possible motivation for me to wet tumble, even without pins, is the lead/dust. After watching some videos of the process, I grabbed a box of surgical gloves and masks from the office and continue to dry tumble with walnut. Reloading is annoying enough and squeaky clean brass is irrelevant to me
