Nate TSU, Did you make it out? How'd it go?

Hello Ben, and welcome to the forum! I too live in CDA and compete in IDPA. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to talk and perhaps get out to Fernan Rod and Gun and run some drills!

Thanks guys, that what I was hoping! Easy fix!

A couple nights ago while loading up some 45acp for an upcoming class I had the little spring clip on top of the sizing/depriming die break. I 'borrowed' one from my 9mm toolhead to get though this session. I have emailed Dillon for info on the part as I cannot find it on their website. My question is mainly what do you think caused this? Is it a standard wear and tear issue, as I load about 500 rounds a month. Or am I doing something wrong, have something set wrong to accelerate said wear and tear? Only been in the reloading game a couple of years, but I have never heard of this happening nor has anybody in my IDPA club. Thanks for any help!

Heading south tomorrow for the Idaho State Match. Pretty excited, this will be my first state match! Anybody else participating?
-
Welcome to Idaho!!! Hope the move goes well! I am in North Idaho, but shoot somewhat regularly in Parma, and have shot one match in Idaho Falls. All great places to shoot! Let us know when you get here!

I really like the Riots by Derwood MFG. Taylor is the man there and he does a great job on G10 grips. I have several sets from them. I am unable to load a pic for some reason, but check out his website... www.derwoodmfg.com
I'm betting nothing is as grippy as 36 Grit! But a training buddy of mine said of my first pair of Riots, 'you can hang on to that with a bloody hand'. Perhaps a bit over the top, like my friend, but you get his point!

Anybody using the MKIV as a Chrono? I just ordered the Skyscreens and am wondering if anybody has any experience with it?

I run Derwood MFG grips on all my 1911's. For super grip they have one called the RIOT. It is amazingly grippy! Taylor is great to work with there also!

I agree, and was thinking about a clarification submission. This was my first match outside of my local club. It was the first outdoor match i'd shot in 30 years!!! What a blast! Great club, great guys and great facility! Immediately after our discussion I thought that this is something I should remember and ask the SO or MD before shooting the stage. I am by no means knocking the rulebook and totally understand that somethings are open to club interpretation... I was more than willing to accept the PE, but after we discussed it the SO decided to lift it.
Jim, your first sentence is exactly how I understand it. Apparently our local club guys see it that way too, as I have never been called on it before.

2) But for the next string where you shoot, then move to the barrel: get the new mag, drop the old into the hand and stick the new one in, start moving and while moving get the old mag into a pocket. This will save time, yes?
This is what I do at our local club. However, yesterday I shot a match at another club and was given a procedural for moving before my mag was stowed. After we discussed it they lifted the procedural. Now I have looked thru the rulebook and do not find any real clear answers... I feel this is the fastest way to do this part of the classifier though.
45 small primer
in 44/45 Caliber
Posted
I do like Wideload, sort them and give the away. I didn't know there was a small primer 45 case until I jammed one in my 650 when I started reloading!
Does anybody know WHY they make the 45ACP in both primer sizes? Seems kinda odd to me...
