That's true about the warranty. Only one year. But the parts are easily replaced, and upgrades are readily available.
I sold the 650XL I was using and bought an S1050 about a year and a half ago. I really like it.
They are awesome machines, that's for sure.

One of my local friends runs a brass processing business with multiple 1050's. As I understand it, the 1050 does not have the same guarantees from dillon that the 550/650 does.

Yay! Time for a big girl gun
Glad you had fun out there. Looked like a whole lot of running.

OK, I'm going to order some N320 and work up a load for it with Xtreme 180 RNFP's. I'll post the results once complete.
BTW, which 180 PD's are you using JHP or FMJ?
I just did this. My load is now 5.1 n320, 180 RNFP, 1.118-1.119
It's around 172 PF
I asked around locally, and some people get by with 5gr, some as high as 5.35gr

Thanks Cha-lee, I ordered one.

This is a general question to everyone in this thread. Have you used a grip dyno to measure the maximum pounds of grip force you can produce with each hand? If you haven't, then start with that measurement so you actually know where you are at. How much grip strength you feel like you are producing doesn't matter in the big picture. Without knowing how "strong" you grip strength is in measurable pounds of force its very difficult to correlate grip training to actual strength gains. From my experience on the range and training others the vast majority of people who believe they are gripping the gun "HARD" are actually not when you measure their grip strength. Perceived grip strength though feeling like you are gripping hard and proven grip strength which is actually measured are two completely different things. Significant pounds (100+ lbs per hand) of grip force is needed to effectively manage recoil.
What dyno would you recommend?

4.6 at 1.165 oal is 171pf in 80f and 168 in 31f weather. It's the softest limited major load I have EVER shot. That's through a 5" Kim barrel in an atlas titan.
Just enough crimp to remove the bell.
right on! I'll have to try it sometime! Thanks!

Leverage pressure:
Treat your fingers at your front strap like a hinge point
As you bring your gun up from a low ready position, if your pivot point is set, your hand and forearms will close (use imagery of a nut cracker)

320 is great and super clean but all i run is autocomp now. i loaded up mags and asked random people at the range to shoot the gun and 10 out of 10 randoms all thought autocomp was softer. is it dirtier? yea but barely.
autocomp is pretty gassy. what load are you using?
I know wst is softer, but too temperature sensitive for me. -
I pick up red better. I had green on a cz75, but just couldn't see it well.

A good tip I received in one of my first matches "Don't get sucked into the ports"

How does the Valkyrie compare to 6.5 Grendel?

Renton and Paul Bunyan (graham/Puyallup) have monthly idpa matches, even in the winter. You do have to pre register though. Paul Bunyan pre-reg is on practiscore, but i'm not sure about renton.
We also have an indoor match every Tuesday night at West Coast Armory in factoria. First Tuesday is USPSA, the rest are idpa.

So my S&W 686 will recoil differently if I cock the hammer back when firing?
Get a different hammer and it might! -

Important: Recoil with revolvers is very different than with pistols; pistols have recoil springs which mitigates the millisecond of shearing shock of the explosion. I sold my 44 Magnum revolver because I could not shoot more than 24 bullets before the skin on my palms started to tear. I recently shot a Desert Eagle in 50AE and it kicked like 10 horses but it didn’t hurt my hand. The internal springs made the incredibly powerful recoil even, almost smooth and without that sharp spike in force at the instant of powder burn. I put 100 50AE bullets down range in that one session which left me with: a major dent in my credit card and a spectacular grin for two days. Buy your 617 then get loading blocks, speed loaders and a lot of cheap bulk 22 ammo and have fun.
It's different even between revolvers. single actions recoil very differently than doubles.

I shoot a few different types, usually limited in uspsa and cdp in idpa. I am shooting a few matches in SS this coming year. SS and limited are both major, iron sights, and the same general platform. I'm only a C though.

I love ar10's! I have 2 now, both with 20" barrels. I plan on building an 18" soon.
I wouldn't mess with your current one, not if it's sub moa.

I'm sorry I missed that one! Hearing it live would have been awesome! Did Nick and Noel give you a hard time? lol

Seems like a 9mm vs 45acp debate here. You love one or the other. In my mind the VV N320 shooters are the guys with the baller bank accounts that have the same number of digits as my phone number.
Personally loaded hundred of thousands of rounds with Titegroup and never seen a problem with it. I just cant justify the cost of the N320. My 1911 45 will start to get pretty dirty around the 1k round mark with TG. 9mm and 40 never had a problem either. Maybe I clean my guns to much?
As of today, 8lbs of TG is 127.50 at PV and 8lbs of VVN320 is $227. So unless I'm putting double the charge with TG, it isn't even close to worth it for me.
The difference between 8lbs of TG and 8lbs of 320 is .0089$ per bullet. (1400 bullets per pound is the basis) You don't need a baller bank account for such a tiny difference.

I personally prefer the thorsden cheek rest on ar (and ak) pistols over any of the braces.

Before your criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and have their shoes.
