  1. Do not use pistol primers in .223 ammo! People may use rifle primers in major 9MM in their pistols, not the other way around.
  2. Factory ammo often uses non-canister powders, which you can not buy. It results in velocities that will exceed what a handloader can achieve without very high pressure levels.
  3. I'm happy to be shooting this year, as you should be as well. It's not like we'll be beating the likes of Jared, or other youngsters.
  4. Unless it's got a pinned and welded brake on it.
  5. I use Fiocchi 1 ounce slugs and B&P 1 ounce slugs with no issues with a stock recoil spring in my M2. Both are rated at 1150 fps.
  6. I think the .50 was 800, the .338 was on the side of the mountain at 1400, if memory serves me fairly correctly. Both were bonus targets shot off the clock.
  7. You can also get thinner recoil pads.
  8. A First Focal Plane, the reticle increased and decreases in size as the power changes. The BDC is the same regardless of power. Second Focal Plane, the reticle is constant in size and the BDC is only calibrated at maximum power.
  9. Welcome! You're not the only one from Mass here.
  10. If you're not left handed, why put one on? As Isaac mentioned, it can hit the joint on your right hand, and put it on when you least want it to be functioning.
  11. Pioneer is busy with both IDPA and USPSA, and 3 gun starting this year. Closer to Portsmouth is Piscataqua which runs USPSA and Steel Challenge matches. Chester was USPSA and Steel Challenge, maybe IDPA too. Check the club web site on them.
  12. Do you want to compete or just shoot? If you want to compete, some driving is necessary.
  13. I've not used the 50 grain Ballistic Tip, but use the 55's as one of my accuracy bullets. I would try H335 and a charge of 26.0 that should shoot pretty well.
  14. Box mag fed= Open. If match directors want to have Heavy Open for the pump shotgunners shooting .308 and .45's, that's up to them.
  15. Way back, Pact did a trade in for the original models. Mine went back and got a newer model. I still have a MK4 and it still works fine.
  16. The original had a lead acid battery. The newer ones didn't, hence the "Lighter" description. Also, when you turned on the originals, the display came up with Made For and the owners name.
