Why does your middle finger hurt?

With the old guns I just made sure they were empty and practiced.
With these new fangled modern wonders that damage roll pins I've gone ahead and bought those special dry fire rounds so I don't have to worry about damaging the firing pin/striker retaining pins.
What on earth are you talking about?

Geez, are you using live ammo to dry fire? It seems pretty easy to come up with a way not to shoot something during dry fire.
I dunno man, I'm friends with some people that don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Still pretty amazed they've managed to stay alive for this long without accidentally stepping into traffic or driving off a cliff because they just don't pay attention. At all. To anything.

Yeah, it would be machined. So far I am seeing $600 to $700 quoted. Not so much worth it to me at this time. For < $400 I might have jumped on it.
That sounds a bit excessive. What are you trying to do?

Clark was selling bull barrels at Perry a couple years back. I picked one up and now it sits on my 66.

What's worse is I'm starting over. Since I got the 627 and moved to Limited, I'm back to U...
When shooting Classic, I often lead the division (of one).
better one than none.
Somehow I'm currently ranked A. " Classifications marked with an "a" (assigned) have been adjusted based on finishes at a major match or other demonstrated ability or disability." I think they think I'm disabled.

That'd be a fun one to go to.

You need to get it copy writed or whatever on Enos like the *thumb rest [generic]* thing was.
Agency did that with the stupid angled cut they melt out of Glock frames.

I live near the North East coast, 30'-40' elevation
I remember in Reno a couple years ago, 4500' above sea level, I was about 10-12 power factor higher than at home .
Were those your special chrono rounds?

Here in the frigid northeast Ive developed and chrono'd loads in the winter and chrono'd again in the spring and checks here and there...Ive noticed variations of 1 maybe 2 pf in some extreme cases. So for steel develop a load that feels good and gives you positive target feedback and and never mind a pf or the minimal, if any change, with temp. Just remember too puny of a load wont give you hit feedback and can mislead you into unnecessary make up shots.
This only works if the powder isn't temp sensitive. I've been running the same load for basically a year now and I get about a 5PF swing, which is no bueno when I had my stuff dialed in at 129pf. Then again it could be elevation, or some other thing, or just because of the differences in chronographs. Finally I got sick of worrying, after a 125.4pf and bumped it up to 135 for Nats. My chrono and whatever they used for USPSA Nats and IPSC Nats are very close to each other. Area 5 was very very low. It could just also be s#!t just averaging out. I shoot 8 out of the gun and take the average and keep in mind the lower numbers just in case. I measure out 10 drops of powder so I get an average to the hundredth of a grain.
I'm using Bullseye, FWIW, not sure if it's temp sensitive or not. Or if things like humidity affect it (doesn't seem to, comparing Mesquite to Frostproof), etc.

Are you sure you didnt have a light strike somewhere along the lines, pulled the bullet and it was thrown in the spent cases bin for reloadin?. Id think that to be a much more viable reasoning. I just cant see how an already ignited primer could be ignited again. Primer compound is basically modified Nitro glycerin and its inherent instability explodes quite throughly and if by chance any residual remained upon the hit the the powder burn blowing back into the primer would surely eliminate it. Not to mention the firing pin crater left from a previous successful firing would not leave any clearance for the cup to be crushed anymore into the anvil to promote any ignition. Just some analytics to consider.
This, 100%.
You mean to tell us it's far more unlikely you accidentally forgot something or missed a step or made a mistake, and far more likely that you're the only person on earth to get a primer to reignite after it's been set off, and then have enough power to unseat a bullet?
lol ok
better call up Federal and tell them their primers are reusable, or at least scavengeable. you could make millions.

You are forgetting DAA .40 929 moons. We’ve got 100, well 98 now. At 1/3 the cost of TK but without the laser engraving. Don’t get me wrong I like the tk ones (Ely gave me a pack at cost) but I’ve had rounds fall out of them. The DAA work with Blazer, FC and WIN (provided they are not nickel).
I did pick up a free pack as a table prize at the irc from..... not sure brand....they stick like mad to the magnetic posts but I can bend them in half. They sit in a drawer.
I have rounds fall out of TK so I check them. But I've tried others besides the DAA with much worse results. I double check too, but it's usually just Federal that fall out so for the longest time I thought Federal was too small. The DAA are smaller than the TK from what I'm told and they look different in the pictures, as Win brass won't really fit TK clips, or it sometimes does but the QC or tolerances are off. I bought 200 Win cases brand new and now I look to pick them out when I can because they usually don't pass the checker.
Jagemann brass is really good though, and very consistent, but the neck tension is super freaking tight so it's best to use a bit of lube I guess.

used thhem
It held 66 loaded 'clips (45ACP). I don't remember the PN, but I'm not home (with the Grand Kids) but will try to get it or at least the dimensions.
Swordfish:
They weren't junky 'clips just in expensive - came from California Competition works. I think I had 200.
If they dropped, I picked them up and put them in the spent case bag, then at home stripped them and checked. Never had a problem with them.
Ah yeah maybe the 45 clips are different. I know with 929 clips you gotta fit them to brass, and you have to get good thick ones otherwise they let the ammo flop around and they don't load worth a crap. TK is really the only 929 clip guy out there, but supposedly Revolver Supply is starting to make .040" ones now. Dunno about 25 clips, I played with some one time once but have no real experience. Also 627 clips are definitely different when you start getting into the premium ones and sorting brass by extractor groove. My buddy has 1 TK that he uses as a reload for classifiers and a bunch of other not as great ones from various manufacturers for stages. Some are better than others. I just sort of figured 25s were the same, and if you've never played with a premium one with fitted brass then you don't know how big of a difference it is. But again, Smith 25s with 45ACP could be a different animal. I'm not about to spend $80 to find out.

How many moon clips fit in that case and do you have a model number for it?
I can fit 48 929 moons in a Plano 3700 if you put them sideways. 36 if they're right side up. One less if I put my moon checker in with them.
Not everyone uses garbage moons either. I'll take 6 good ones over 50 junk ones any day. Especially at $8 a pop.
I double check now. I didn't use to, I learned my lesson. -

I just typed multiple sentences and they all just came up as one giant link. I don't mind it, just so I know it's on the website and I didn't end up getting a virus on my pc.

Jerry has a DVD out. MWP holds classes after the majors that he goes to that are really inexpensive, esp what you get out of them. Find an ICORE match near you if possible, or travel to one and ask the best person that shows up, we're usually pretty friendly.

Anyone going? Anyone trying to share a rental car/hotel? I'm shooting Fri-SunPM/AM/PM. Flying into Vegas Wednesday evening and maybe leaving Monday, depending on what time flights are.
