If it is not prohibited it is allowed. Mine stays on.

Good day guys from a sunny South Africa. The current ammunition and component shortage is affecting us very badly. I have a National Champs coming in about a month and find myself without propellant. I did manage to chase down some 3 tins of Vihtavuori N310.There is nothing else available in South Africa for love or money. I developed a load of 3.7gr of Vihta behind a 125gr Silver Rapids Polymer coated round nose that I load to 29.69mm(1.169inch). I shoot a Canik Combat Elite with a 127mm(5 inch) barrel. The load functions well in the gun and while it is a bit snappy "tracks" quite nicely. It is very accurate. (Several doubles telling me I should speed up) Does anyone else have any experience with this propellant? The bullet, being South African, you would not know but it is a basic RN design with no crimping groves. The primers, once again what is available, is Murom Small pistol Competition and I am quite happy with them. My main concern at the moment is that I am unable to chrono the load since I work 6 days a week and the club chrono is not available on Sundays. "QuickLoad" recons I should be factoring at about 131PF and, should that be true, I am well set.(Well except for heading for a major competition with little or no practice). Any remarks(except for the stupidity of taking part with only a couple of hours dry fire practice)?

I use a Lee Bulge Buster on range pick-ups but use anything and everything that is not cracked. Love it when people do not pick up their brass, it all goes into my stash.

I am glad I am not the only person that could not gel with a Shadow. Just flogged my Shadow 2 and bought myself a Canik Combat Elite. The CZ is a awesome machine but I battled to match my scores I achieved with a P-07!

As RO I just wish builders would remember us from time to time. A good RO is normally within arms reach from the competitor. I hate having to peer around a corner to what the competitor is up to. As competitor I love options, the more the better. No builder should build a stage while keeping a Division in mind. I absolutely love scenarios.

Am building a minor SS gun to shoot Classic. I do have two Major guns, just like a minor one too.

I carry a Tanfoglio P19 as spare to mu Canik P120. Never needed it but always atke it with. Had to lend it to team mates a few times.
