  1. I know. I'm stuck at jury duty reading every post out of sheer boredom
  2. Buy an Arredondo micrometer for your powder bar and a Redding competition seating die. You can accurately change your powder drop and COL in seconds
  3. Saw this thumb rest when looking for a new holster. Looks interesting. Anyone know what it is or use it?
  4. Do they have a Forum discount code like ACME?
  5. This is a common sentiment that I really don't understand or agree with. If your goal is to make M, that can be accomplished with any platform. If you are already acknowledging that there are better guns (for you) than the Glock, why not upgrade , if finances allow, to make your progress easier. Practice is still paramount but C/D shooters will benefit from nice triggers, better balanced guns, etc. I am not advocating every new competitive shooter buying $6000 Limited gun but the theory of "Buy once, cry once" makes sense to me. If you love Glocks, no reason not to upgrade one--sights, trigger, stipple. However, the price point to enter the world of steel framed Limited guns is not that much more expensive. You can buy a CZ TS or Tanfo Elite Limited for ~1100 (less if used). There are some nice deals right here on the Forum
  6. That has been my (limited) experience as well. 25K rounds through my STI in hot/humid climate. Shows some holster wear but no rust
  7. I am confused. Not saying it can't happen but do you really see a lot of hardchromed pistols with rust assuming reasonable care??
  8. Any decent Limited gun can be sold down the road for a small loss if your tastes change. Think of it as a lease/rental.
  9. Jacketed: Precision delta FMJ Coated: Blue, Acme, Bayou I like the accuracy from the blue bullets but I'm tired of the dirty fingers
  10. I have not had an upside down primer for thousands of rounds. Try adjusting your speed to the slowest that will drive the primers around the filler and not stall before entering the tube
  11. Thank you. I am surprised that Fiocchi tested softer than Winchester. Might have to give them a try
  12. I bought 10K during a sale. They all went bang. If the price is right, I would have no hesitation to use unless you are using a super light hammer spring
  13. Interesting...Can you share your test methods
  14. I run Win, CCI, Federal and S&B without adjustment
  15. Is there a reason that N105 is not available in 4 pound packages?
  16. One of my friends uses a Pruitt built gun. According to him it runs great without issues
  17. YMMV. My experience with Tek-Lok is that there is a little play with the DAA belt.
  18. The skills are definitely transferable. Learn the fundamental skills and adapt them to the rules of your chosen game
  19. I worked up a load and Chrono'd yesterday. I started at 8.6 g of 3N38. I will likely use 9.5-9.6.
