Being a new guy at a local match, I would use it as a teaching tool, and give him/her a stern warning.

Does it need it? Have you tried using it?
I have not set it up yet. I have a 550B that I bought back in 2000. I want to set one up for small primers and the other for large primers.

I bought a used 550B at a yard sale, that I would like to send back to Dillion for a refurb. Lady said her father bought it 10 years ago, used it for a couple years then put it in a box. Box was left in the garage for 8 years. It came with complete tool head sets for 9mm, 40 S&W, 45 ACP, all dillion dies. Would it be worth it to just pack it all up and send it back to dillion for a refurb? There is some surface rust on the press and the dies also have rust

Check out GOG.com for some great classic games.

I have have a G20 with 40 barrel and I like it better than the small frame GLOCKS for Major PF I think the large frame and heavier slide soak up more of the recoil and the gun doesn't feel as violent, also with a little fiddling with springs and followers I get a reloadable 21 in my mags with Arredondo extensions. Having said all that I do enjoy shooting Limited at minor PF with one of my 9mm's (this weekend was my 17L) I take a hit on the scoring but that doesn't bother me as i'm just having fun anyway and hosing away with a bunch of mouse farts is a hoot. But in the end it all comes down to what YOU find fun, I have had a lot of fun shooting in all the USPSA divisions and each division has its own draw. I would say if you are returning to USPSA for the run and gun aspect Limited minor is a hoot and about as run and gun as you can get this side of Open division.
You want real fun, Biker shoots 357 Sig in Open. He gets any and all 357 Sig brass I find anywhere. But he's from Portland and wears Birkenstocks, with socks, to rainy winter matches.
I have been tempted to shoot 9x25 Dillion, I have the barrel and dies already. I get a really nice fireball out the barrel with a stiff loaded under a 115 gr bullet.

Thanks for all the information.I will run this summer with the G34 and shoot limitted minor. I'm going to get some single mag pouches and 3 more magazines.

I have been shooting IDPA and 2 Gun for the past year, and would like to get back into USPSA (last shot back in 2000). I miss the run and gun of USPSA. I have a Glock 34, 3 magazines, use a blade tech OWB holster and revolution double mag pouch, with a leather belt. Mods I have to the G34 are, 3.5 pound connector and extended slide stop, looking to add some fiber optic sights soon. Will be getting 2 more magazines and 1 more revolution double mag pouch. Thinking about getting the Blade Tech competion speed belt. Looking to shoot in either production class or Limited class. I know in Limited class I would be shooting minor, would it worth it to get a 40 S&W barrel for G20 and shoot Limited class major? My G20 is set up with the same stuff as the G34, except I have added night sights already. Any thing I need to add or any equipment that would be helpful? Any and all tips welcome.

At my local matches, I would love to see a rule that the stage needs to be reset before the policing of brass starts. I have shot matchs with 9mm, 40 S&W, 10mm and just right the brass off.
I understand some people really want to collect their brass, it cost money. At the same time it holds up the match, I would love to speed up the local match. I miss the quickness of state level matchs.

Big negative there sir. How about the RO makes sure that the rage is actually clear before the " range hot" call is made. I wont comment further (on the video) as I was not there and hove no clue as to how this happened. But picking up brass is usually not the thing taking the most time. How about resetting moving targets, steel, etc. Should we also make every match a lost mag match until the last shot fired? Range safety is everyone's part as well as brassing and pasting targets. Too many people want to shoot and talk instead of helping to keep the match running.
I have been to way to many club level matches were the delay is split between resetting the stage and people policing their brass.
Safety does ultimatley come down to the person pressing the trigger, as the shooter you are relying on the RO's to have checked the range, but you are the one that is going to be shooting.

Matchs should be lost brass until the final shot of the match is fired.

Long time lurker, from central NC. I shoot IDPA and 2 guns matchs for fun. I use a Glock 34 for matchs and carry a Glock 20 CCW, use an AR-15 in 300 Whisper for 2 gun matches.
Local level scoring, how do you handle?
