Adam what town is it in? I'm only a half hour from the bridge and always looking for more 3 gun matches to shoot.
Bridgeville, DE in Sussex county, DE

I am trying to get my club to start 3-gun tournaments. The idea is getting run by the Board at the next meeting to see if it is something they want to move forward with. My question is, is there a source that goes into detail of how to get it up and running? I would most likely have to assemble a team and need basics on how many people it takes for set-up, judges, etc. Just entry level stuff that I can present to the club. Any help is appreciated.
I have read some things on 3gunnation's website already. Just looking for a lot of info I can sift through to gain more knowledge on the subject.
I'm sure if it happens, the first year will be a learning curve on the ins/outs but hoping we can get it done. There is nothing for 3-gun within 1.5 hours of here that I can find.

Those needing a "right-now" replacement for the upper nut can head to the local auto parts store and get a 13/16-20 spindle nut (Dorman 615-074 for example).
I bought a package of them and drilled/tapped them for set-screws which allow me to move my RT-1200 "motor" from a .223 prep toolhead to a .308 prep toolhead (XL-650) without having to perform any major re-adjustments to trim length.
That is awesome, thanks for the tip! What size drill/tap/die did you use?
-
Got the jam nut on. Had to force the first 2-3 threads then it was fine. All hooked up and ready to rock
-
I almost have the same exact setup except for I use a tumbler w/ dry media and no Mr Bulletfeeder...yet. How do you like it so far with 223?
-
between my wife, in-laws and myself, I got a case feeder for my 2nd xl650, Dillon swager, and an RT-1500 trimmer
-
where it screws into the press it is the same. I am talking about the upper threads on the trim die that are 13/16"-20. The trimmer comes with a jam nut but it will not screw onto the die.
-
I was installing my new trimmer last night and the 13/16" jam nut that comes with it would not thread onto the trim die upper threads. The trimmer itself threads on fine so I am thinking it is the jam nut that is out of spec. I am waiting on a reply from customer service but did not know if anyone knows if you can buy these things at Lowes or HD.

I use a 16# spring on my 5.25 in 9mm. I don't know if that helps, but I haven't had any problems. I sometimes ride the slide release when I shoot, you wouldn't be doing that, would you?
you know what, great question. Considering it did not happen on every mag I might have. I will have to pay closer attention to my grip next outing.
-
I loaded up some 230gr LRN with 5.0 gr Win231 and the stock 18# spring shot all with no failures but slide would not lock open after the last shot on some mags. Wondering if I should go to a 16 and try it out. The load shot amazingly well so don't really want to change that.
-
Can get one for free with my Amazon points or I can get the Springer Precision one. Amazon only has the stainless available from Springer and I wanted black but if it is that much better, I'll get it.

Have to go try to get in as a walk-on for my first USPSA this weekend (I'm 38). Nervous as h#ll. Funny how no matter how many years you have been shooting and how familiar you are with your guns...you can still get these nerves.

Sent you a pm grantwoodok

Does anyone use a RCBS Lockout die?
that is what I had before when I had my Hornady LNL AP...it was ok. Does not work on rifle though which is why I want the Dillon
-
I would never buy a LNL AP again, had it for years and was constantly messing with it. Even after watching the Bill Morgan videos on youtube it was a pain
-
I see a good bit of people that say they don't like it... have read polls about why you don't need it. Why do you rarely ever see used Dillon powder check systems for sale? Just curious. I look for them every day on different sites and don't find them.

I agree with jmorrris's explanation.
For their cyclic rate is say they just load 100 rounds as fast as possible. Machine needs no topping up etc and operator can crank the handle like a masturbating monkey. So they manage 100 in 6 min. I think that's super fast for manually fed bullets but not impossible.
Now, if we get a masturbating money to work the press...does the cyclic loading production rate increase or decrease?
-
1.) load rate to me is once machine is ready to run the 1st case until an hour passes. I don't count preloading everything.
1a.) you are loaded when the beep of the over-loaded sensor goes off, not before. You must keep drinking until it goes off
-
Nope, was still listed when I told him I would buy it. He replied saying it was just sold. Wish I saw it yesterday! Was exactly what I was looking for.
-
looks too good to me...I sent him a message
-
Mine came tuned and has been running perfect through my first 300-400 rds so far. Did you go step by step through manual, exactly as is states, during setup? Even though I know how to set dies, etc...I took it slow and did everything by the book. I love this press...ordering a 2nd this week.

I got tennis elbow really bad last year. The doc said you have tennis elbow. You should not make this motion (it was the exact motion you make when picking up a bullet and placing it on the case). I thought it was a joke at first. When I told her it was the exact motion you make when reloading, she did not understand why I would ever want to reload bullets. She said, "Well don't make that motion". I was "forced" to get a bullet feeder. I really did not want to spend the money on a bullet feeder. However, it was one of the best things I have ever purchased for my reloading. I can easily load over 1000 and hour on my Dillonl 650.
I just got diagnosed with tennis elbow on my handle arm...will a doctor write a prescription for a motor and a bullet feeder? Does insurance cover it?
-
And do you other guys still keep a single stage around too? I have 3 single stages I had been using for rifle rounds but want to do my bulk 223 and 308 on an xl650 now. But for my long range 308 loads wondering if I should still keep a single stage around.
-
If I had not just sold a gun that I never used for $600 I wouldn't even think of it. But when I started pricing things the seperate press for small primers just started making sense to me.

Main focus right now are rifle matches 300-1000 yds. We do have some informal IDPA matches. Maybe I should think smaller for now and see how much interest we get before suggesting 3 gun. The Outlaw sounds cool. Just hate not having anything around here to shoot. I am in Nothern, DE about 20 mins from Philadelphia.
