IDPA to get better at USPSA
Said no one ever ?
-
I started using a little one shot case lube and the magic brass speckles went away
-
2 is 1 and 1 is none.
-
Cool...needed a sanity check before I started cranking out a ton of rounds. Will be nice to focus on shooting...dry fire etc when things get into full swing rather than worry about loading
-
Just recently got into loading with a 650...was hard to keep up with the amount my wife an I shoot using a 550. I'm thinking I should load like 5k and stay well stocked up so I can focus on other things rather then trying to keep up with loading. Just curious how many rounds you guys load and stock up on before I get to crazy playing with this 650 ?
-
Just got my newly aquired 650 running with the bullet feeder on it today....why have I wasted years loading on a 550!? I just loaded 100 rounds of 40 in just under 5 min! And that's going a bit slower cuz I'm new at it and paying extra attention. What to do with the extra time!? ?
-
Yup...I went along time thinking why should I spend the money on that...finally broke down and got one...worth it...saves so much time
-
Does it have a spot on the bottom to thread in the optional rod for the barrel to rest on?
-
I use TG for both my 9 & 40...burns a little dirty but cheap & accurate. Works for me
-
I think my delivery guys hate me
-
Doh! I gotta buy another holster now....shooting limited is so expensive!
-
Was the toughest match I have ever shot...3 days straight was a grind too
-
I had issues with "glocked" brass....switching to the undersized die solved the problem
-
Nationals for sure...area match would be second to that
-
Learned my lesson the other day...got dq'd cuz I sent one over the berm after reloading...I was going too fast for my level and it cost me
-
Yup...it happened today. Go to do a mag change and boom goes the dynamite after I seated the new mag. Had my finger where it shouldn't be and well....sent one over the berm. Scared the ? out of me! Trying to be fast and getting ahead of myself. Time to dial it back and practice some reloads. Hanging my head in shame till the next match. ?

Ck arms hardcore 2011...have an identical pair of them but couldn't figure out how to reduce the photo file size ?
-
Like others said 650...I bought the 550 years ago and didn't listen to those that said 650....I was wrong and have regretted it ever since..someday I'll get a 650 but in the mean time I'll keep complaining that I can barely keep up reloading cuz I didn't buy the right press
-
I don't want to be the negative Nancy but...$1200 does not seem like it will go along way with a lim gun....not to mention the gear, mags etc. I got into a 2011 and shooting limited cuz I won one in a raffle and it has become the most expensive free thing ever. But it's so much more fun than shooting production!
-
I have only ever come across one person who cast their own bullets. He showed me the whole process and it was pretty cool. That being said... I thought it was something I wanted to do until I saw it all first hand. Looks like a lot could go wrong...fire, lead posining, noxious fumes, screwing up the hardness etc. I can barely keep up with reloading to support my shooting habit let alone casting bullets as it would add a whole lot of time to the reloading process. I'd have to be retired with literally nothing else to do before I could get into casting.
-
I wondered what this "40 long" business was all about when I got into limited with a 2011...now that I've been to the range with both my 40 long loads and factory length ammo I See the difference..Intermittent feeding issues with the shorter ammo. Loading longer...just under 1.2 for me a my lim guns run perfect.
-
It used to bug me...I've gotten so used to it I forgot it had bugged me until I saw this thread....now it will bug me again for sure!
-
I'm weak at stage planning also...went to limited nationals and shot with a lot of guys above my lvl...shooting 22 stages with A's, M's & GM's taught me a lot about planning. I didn't try to mimic what they were doing at the time for obvious reason but sure gave me a lot of insight of what I need to work on to get better.

Awesome thanks for the info! I just watched some of the videos and learned I have not been caring for my press correctly
Little specks of brass......

I spray a couple shots into the case feeder hopper full of brass
