Not all matches allow "1 anywhere", in fact darn few still do. Cost may be the biggest issue for most people. Some rule sets require a pump and a .45ACP, not many people want to add those to the gun safe, it seems. How many matches are not in bays? That's a factor too, heavy guns beg for natural terrain. At least the .308 does.

I don't know about the CR Speed, but the Bladetech should be good. Hole spacing on ELS works with Techlok spacing.

The world is a sadder place with the loss of Cheryl. Loosing Rod was hard enough, but the sudden loss of Cheryl left me speechless. Rest in Peace, Cheryl.

Can you change to Manchester, New Hampshire? It would save a lot of worry.

I just finished rebuilding an old Springfield Armory 1911. This has a Caspian slide and Kart ramped barrel. I'm using Metalform and Brownells 9mm mags. First match is planned for Saturday, and the rounds that have been through it so far feed fine. Just another opinion, and we know what opinions are. Another point, like HDGUN, my old reworked Metalform 38 Super mags work too.

1X, I think the center dot is 2 MOA. Being an etched reticle it allows more precise aiming, at least it does for me. Most of the time I use it with the illumination turned off.

I like it! Maybe a Spitfire would help on the 200 yard plate rack.

Finish the statement. Stealth in the matches that are using the correct rule set. (Sorry, I'm forgetting all the abbreviations for the "Outlaw" matches)

No springs, gravity does it. Hold the gun in a vertical orientation when you make a reload. If that's not helping, look to see where the magazine tube is dragging in the frame.

21 rounds? You are screwing yourself Matt. 9MM mags should hold 23.

For what you describe, at Meopta 1-4X if you can find one used will fit your bill. Wide field of view, brightness is as good as you will ever need, unless the target is in the front of a search light. Otherwise take a good look at a Vortex Spitfire.

Looks like you can use a thumb rest.

Look at handgun rules, not holster rules for the preferred matches.

I'm old and set in my ways, LSA gets used.

Exactly what I was referring to!

It may shoot out! The plunger spring should have a bend in it to minimize the launching of the plungers and spring.

With the matches I usually shoot, (not so much bay stages) I zero my Vortex Spitfire at 200 yards. My Razors get zero'd at 300 yards using the proper mark on the JM-1 reticle. There are many differing opinions for this.

I've been seriously thinking of this to put on one of my practice uppers. https://cameralandny.com/shop/brands/athlon-optics/Athlon-Optics-Midas-BTR-1-6x24-ATSR1-SFP-IR-MOA/68e4b190-9b1e-0135-02e9-00163ecd2826?variation=1614616

Dillon will not ship them to some states.

They are available through Aerostar Outdoors. https://www.aerostaroutdoors.com/product/3-gun-slug-1oz-reduced-recoil-slug-1200-fps-250-rds/

Only one way to find out, try it.

Different harmonics. I've had 2 different brands of 55 grain bullets consistently shoot 1 inch different point of impact. They were Nosler Ballistic Tips, and Hornady V Max.

Not only to your squadmates, but to the R.O."s as well. Honestly, go to every large match that interests you, you can afford, and have the equipment for. (You can buy more equipment if a match interests you.) You will learn more at larger matches than at most locals. The more you learn the better you can be.

This was an entertainment video, wasn't it? To me, the most efficient method would use something explosive to destroy the wall, then proceed through the space it existed. Barring that, option 1 seems to be the best, even for an old fart such as myself. I actually envision "the Bryan / Brian" just running over the damn thing.
