    Forcht 1050 Super Disassembly

    in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment

    Posted

    Feel stupid posting this, but if there is anyone who has disassembled the bottom end of a forcht auto drive (1050 super) I just have a few questions before I dive in. 

     

    When I got it (second owner) I just pumped new grease through the rotating assembly and wiped down the bottom end. Its been running like a top, but I'm taking the whole press apart for a deep cleaning. 

     

    Feel free to shoot me a PM :)

    Timer not picking up the shots on many PCC's

    in Pistol Caliber Carbine

    Posted

    I had this problem the last match I shot with my stock pinned/welded gen2 Mpx barrel. I just started telling the RO the position I was going to be ending the stage in (if there was more than one choice in the lay out) so he could get in close with the timer without risking a collision.

     

    The competitor-side fix is a comp on the PCC to make it louder for the timer. 

    HS510C Parallax

    Just picked one up to put on a firearm that's on the way. Messing with it in hand it seems like the POI shift is really big if the dot isn't perfectly centered. Much worse than the UH-1 I have on my other PCC. I know it shouldn't make a difference with a cheek weld, but just wondering if anyone else has had issues with weak side stages etc. They seem to be super popular, so I'm guessing it can't be that big of a deal.

    Sorry for partial thread steal. But do you guys have a preferred supplier for the extra power extractor springs? Was shooting my shadow 2 as a second gun at a super classifier and had FTE jams on last 3 stages >.<

    USPSA, new PPC rules

    Just to stir the pot, what exactly does "side-by-side" mean?

     

    Is this mag coupled setup "side-by-side"?

    And if so, how long until someone comes up with a coupler that puts the mags in this orientation? Definitely not "side-by-side".

    TBH I would welcome people doing that...I guarantee it is slower than reloading from a front "open shooter first mag position" mag pouch.

    PCC USPSA Classification

    in Pistol Caliber Carbine

    Posted

    Yes, there is a major skewing of classifiers. It won't be fixed until they give PCC its own classification scores based on PCC data not open. Some of the classifiers are harder for PCC than open, but the vast majority are much easier with PCC especially those requiring offhand/one-hand shooting or uprange starts. IMO what would fix a lot of the actual problem caused by this is unlinking PCC class from the pistol classes. Having someone who makes GM in PCC an automatic master in every pistol class is a little silly. However, at the end of the day, classification doesn't really matter IMO. If you are worried that you won't get your earlier B class win prize walk over tanking in M then you are shooting for the wrong reasons anyway.

    I've done a taccom build, a jp, and an MPX. They will all get you to GM. I personally prefer the MPX and have since sold the other two. Now you also have options of a taccom MPX front end. The softer impulse is nice, but what I like most about the MPX is the mags. They are 100% reliable period. I haven't had a single malfunction on my MPX and have a tax stamp in to make it an 8 inch SBR at some point hopefully before next season.

     

    All you need for the MPX is a hiperfire trigger, a stock adapter, a buffer tube, and your favorite AR stock. 

     

    The only reason I would go back to a blow-back is to tune one to easily bump fire like Max Leograndis. But my .11 splits aren't going to be the thing holding me back for a long time. My gains are in transitions and footwork at this point. Master at the moment and first two GM classifiers next season will get me to GM. 

    Occasional HOT rounds

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    I don't have the plethora of reloading knowledge that some do. But...IMO skip the crimp period for 9mm. Just remove the bell. Use a Lee U die for sizing and a Lee FCD with the crimp backed out so you don't actually crimp the bullet. It full length sizes the case and removes the bell in the last station. There is no set back and no issues with mixed brass.

    No confusion on my part.  

     

    Not even close a world record. People have shot groups at 200 yards free-hand (one handed) with fixed iron sights that have been less than the size of the A zone on a USPSA target.

    MPX Killer?

    I think the reason that you see with the MPX's not running is simply the reloads that folks are running in them. I have witnessed shooters running to the absolute bottom of the power factor out of their rifles.  Mine has not missed a beat, but I run factory Federal 115's.  The reason the MPX soft shooting feel is a light operating system.  I would love to see more of the CMMG design, as well as others.  Brian, you can do it. Go for it.

     

    I think you are correct. I have not had a single malfunction in my MPX all season. I shot area 3 with a GM MPX shooter, both of us made it through the match in one day with no malfunctions or stops to relube.  Shooting 133 power factor 124 grain PD JHPs over titegroup.

     

    I don't see the obsession with the bottom floor PF loads on the MPX, the difference in recoil impulse between 120 and 140 is almost nothing. Keep the reloads in the 130-135 range and it will run forever in my experience.
