Thanks! Those would definitely bring the thump. I guess now I have to figure out if they'll even fit inside my cylinder...

Like the title says, trying to find a manufacturer for a 180+ grain round nose bullet. I have a .357 load for IDPA that I really enjoy, but it uses the MBC 180gr "Striker" and the flat nose is killing me on reloads. I've gone down to SNS 160's in the interim but I'd love to get back to heavy and slow (just like me)!

Not trying to naysay, but if you haven't bought moons yet, get ones sized for Starline and then just but corresponding brass. It's a little pricey new, but you can reload it a whole bunch and order Special/Mid/Short brass turnkey without worrying about trimming. The right moons will let you cycle between lengths as much as you want, so you can shoot Spl while working up a Mid load, etc.

Mine is a 3 MOA. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to compete with it yet so I don’t know how much I’ll like/dislike it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just did this and yes, the Springer plate works with the Venom. This one: https://shop.springerprecision.com/Springer-Precision-P320-X5-Burris-Docter-Venom-adapter-plate-SP0223.htm

I'd appreciate it if you happen to check. I just picked up a full-size medium but I'm still curious as to how the compact compares (I'm one of the rare idiots who prefers the standard ergos to the X5's).

Hey all, I apologize if this has been asked but I can't find any clear answers online. Do the Full Size Medium and Compact Medium P320 grip modules have the same circumference / trigger reach and the Compact is just shorter? Or are they actually shaped differently? Thanks!

You know what? I bet this is a .45 ACP frame. My mags have a good 1/4" of front-to-back play so this is definitely meant for something bigger. Unfortunately, it's only stamped "P250" and "CS" with no caliber marking so I don't know for sure. It IS comfy though, so I might look into getting the appropriate caliber version at some point.

I happened to snag a P250 (same as 320) Compact Small grip module for cheap just to mess with. The X5 slide drops on, and the dustcover mates correctly with the slide, but the magazines don't seat. They click into the latch and then fall back out. This is my first Sig, but I'm guessing the magazine baseplates help the mags mate to the grip and lock into place? Obviously the 21-round tubes are way too long for that.

Boom, in.

Are the flashlights-turned-frame-weights allowed in CO now? I don't see anything addressing frame weights in the rules either way so I'm guessing they would be prohibited under the "A modification is only allowed in Carry Optics Division if there is a rules clause or interpretation, which specifically declares that it is allowed in the Division" clause.

Yay, Weld! That's my home range for ICORE. The range goes by "High Plains Shooting Range" or "Weld County Fish and Wildlife". Details here: http://www.wcfw.org/ Putting it on the calendar now. The Burkholders run a great match.

That there is quite the bench.

Awesome! Digging a little deeper into the app, it looks like the Club ID (and most other things) are optional. Obviously it would be cooler if all of the matches linked up and referenced people's actual profiles, but most of this club are not PractiScore members. Emailing a link with results should suffice.

Hey all, Long-time PractiScore user but I'm investigating match management for the first time. The match I'm looking at scoring is pretty informal - we don't pre-register and pay in cash the morning of. Is it possible for me to just use PractiScore for recording scores and then share out a link to the results? Or do I need to set up a club ID and all that jazz? I know I'm doing this in the total hillbilly way but such is the club, lol. Sorry about the n00b question.

I’ve used my MecGar occasionally without issue, but I also did all Metalforms for my competition mags. The gun has literally never had a hiccup with those (which is saying something for a 1911). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't help you there, sorry. I have to imagine that a PCC is more forgiving than, say, a Glock, though...? Update on the mag situation: I found what works best for me is a Glock brand 33-rounder with stock guts and a Henning basepad. This lets me load up 35 without too much swelling so everything feeds fine (though I do have to pull the mag out as it doesn't always drop free). I'm carrying two MagPul 21-rounders for reloads, and I start with one of those in the gun if I know that I'll need to reload around the middle of the stage as they do drop free. I also have a pair of Glock 17-rounders with generic aluminum G42 basepads (they're huge) just for Classifier use. One other question: are the barrels on these proprietary? I assume other brands of 9mm AR barrel would work since they take other handguards but figured I'd ask...

Not in my experience. I saw about a 1 power factor change shooting it in cool weather at 5600+ feet vs 95+ degrees at 1,100 ft. That was with a 3.1gr charge.

Oh man, that's a HUGE help. Thanks! That particular wrench looks like it's tough to come by, but their bigger armorer's tool has those slots built in so I might just grab one.

I did try that. It might be proprietary - I'm going to try dropping them a line. Sucker will NOT move.

I could use some barrel nut help from the AR gurus. This is technically a PCC (Freedom Ordnance FX-9) but supposedly it can use standard AR handguards. I was taking the factory one off and found this setup: Left-to-right, it's the M-Lok handguard, an inner sleeve that the guard mounts to, and I guess that slotted section is the barrel nut? The handguard screws go through the nut's slots and into the inner sleeve, which locks the guard in place (it's also keyed to the receiver). Has anyone seen a nut like that? I can't get it to budge. I can't use the barrel nut end of my armorer's tool as it doesn't have the recesses for the tool's pegs.

Sorry for the necro. I used my FX9 for the first time in USPSA tonight and really enjoyed it. However, both of my SGM mags started failing as soon as I dropped them during reloads (the feed lips opened up so much that rounds didn't strip off clean and jammed the gun). Not a huge shock, I guess. My "classifier" mag (a factory G17 mag with Henning extension) ran perfectly. Has anyone figured out a 30+ round mag configuration that feeds reliably? Maybe the Glock 33 rounder with an extension but not loaded to capacity? Also, has anyone tried the Magpul PMAG 21? I like to keep shorter mags on hand for fast reload stages and classifiers and they're about a third of the cost of a G17 mag with an extension.

Acetal rods. I've built my own moonclip holders in a few different varieties (I'm cheap) so I had them lying around. I can build a kydex "shield" for the front if anyone thinks it's warranted but I don't want to waste the effort if not.

.357 brass. No intentional barrel-tipping. However, I was shooting major loads (165 - 173.5 PF) out of a 4" gun so it probably did a fair amount of tipping on its own...

It's pretty strange that there seems to be a wide swing of experiences with this powder. I just did a test batch of .357 using 5.5 to 5.9 grains of Autocomp out of a 4" barrel revolver and my standard deviations were between 8 and 13 on all loads. I have to imagine that even a hint of position sensitivity would have yielded much higher SD's... Extreme spreads were all between 33 and 47, which is pretty typical-to-good for revolvers in my experience (since the "chambers" aren't perfectly uniform). I've also been using it in my bowling pin loads in .38 Special cases for quite a while (5.2 - 5.4gr) and have never seen the slightest issue. I do generally use magnum primers.
