Actually it will have 2000 impacts per minute (each flute cuts every revolution) you divide the feed by the flutes to get the chip load per flute. yes gun parts (ideally) should be floating on a film of oil and have very low surface loads, that's why blued guns last thousands and thousands of rounds, heck you can even get many 10"s of thousands of rounds on a aluminum framed gun.

When shooting Production I normally load all my mags to 10 rounds then if I want/need to have 11 in the make ready mag I add it to the extra mag i have in my hand on the way to the make ready.

yes gun parts are subject to exponentially lower loads at much lower velocities with lower impact forces all this done with better lubrication at lower temperatures. Impact forces on mill cutters are high enough to shear the metal being cut you don't hit the frame that hard with the slide

I load at 2100 almost all the time, I did have a major load that I had to slow the indexing on to stop spilling powder but other than that full speed all the time Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

if anyone is wondering you can fit 44k primers and 8lb powder on 1 hazmat

Powder Valley has Remington #1 1/2 small pistol primers for $20 per 1000

Sort of, they can be a problem for the high volume shooters at the top but for 75% of the competitors and nearly 100% of the public they are great.

If its a discussion about why CO is taking off at the cost of other divisions I think the answer is this Open= super fast super cool, BUT finicky, expensive guns that need special ammo Limited= pretty fast pretty cool, BUT sort of finicky expensive guns that need special ammo and iron sights are hard Production= not as fast not as cool, Iron sights are hard, minor scoring But affordable reliable guns and whatever ammo CO= almost as fast as open, affordable, reliable guns, whatever ammo, optics are easier BUT minor scoring When you break it down CO really is the most bang for your buck

I got quite a bit out of a afternoon shooting doubles at 7 to 15 yards, just trying different grips and finger positions and seeing what the sights and gun did

I got the advice form a world champ that its better to eat a planned reload and shoot a partial at 6' than to save a reload and shoot it at 12yd. also a great plan that saves a second if you pull it off is not worth the second if you can only pull it off 90% of the time

mostly start positions, SS rev was the one foot in one foot out do the hokey poky match. Prod was feet on marks with a couple down range starts, the barn stage was shot from outside in prod and inside for SS, also I know they moved some targets here and there, and the standards were both very different I would say enough change that you cant compare match scores much but a couple stage scores would be comparable

Bingo Nationals or dedicated SS matches are about the only time the top guys run SS I think a large number of guys shoot SS Minor because the fun factor of a 9mm 1911 is hard to beat and the scoring ends up so close in the end it probably doesn't make enough difference to matter

I overheard a conversation about Major vs Minor on the SS super squad and there was some a comment to the effect of SS = shoot an 8 shot major gun like a man (my take not the actual words used, and I don't remember for certain who was talking) That said the courses of fire offered lots of choices for how to tackle them with 8 rounds (I shot revo so 8 and only 8 ) also I was surprised to learn from some top shooters that eliminating reloads is good until it adds risk then reloads are better, I was very surprised to find even I could add a reload rather than take longer shots and still have stage times in line with expectations.

IMHO its both, the long relatively heavy DA trigger pull exasperates any trigger control deficiency on your part, having a better grip helps fight that. Now for the fun part there doesn't seem to be a one size fits all solution for how to operate a revolver, so try different grip techniques and trigger finger placements and see what works for you. you may also want to try some different grip shapes on the gun and see how that works with your grip techniques. Also something that took a while for me to learn was that with a revo you have to aim all the way through the trigger press, with a auto its easy to get away with stopping aiming as soon as you decide to press the trigger, revos will not let you get away with it

I think this is not a bad idea, some people get the idea that with so much money coming in somebody must be profiting from it, but my experience with several L2 matches has been that not running out of money is the real challenge.

I totally get this sentiment. Honestly I like the system and the more in your face its a volunteer sport please help thing, but I am a on time or early, every time, kinda guy and the thought of not starting the shooters meeting at 9:00 sharp would likely kill me. So for my sanity and those around me we do the bulk of our setup the day before the match that way the morning of the match is as stress free as we can make it.

this, I guarantee Springfield, Leupold, and Springer Precision, got way more out of my wife winning a random draw CO gun at a match this summer than they would have if the match winner sold it on here the week after the match.

For me a USPSA L2 match is about the shooting and competition, At the $150 price point I would expect 12 or more good stages, a well staffed well run match, these are the non negotiable items, and its unlikely I'll return. Beyond the must haves it becomes a balancing act of what makes the match special? what makes it stand out from the others that are also providing the basics? a killer prize table, one with a awesome BBQ lunch, unique stage props (that work) the way I look at it if there were 2 L2 matches for $150 the same weekend what will make one special.

My opinion is no not legal. If I received a penalty I would arb it, If I were the stage RO I would fix it, If I were the MD I would get it fixed. There is dirt over the top of the fault line and the fault line is part of the shooting area so there is no defined edge to the legal shooting area.

Is that a Multigun division? for some people the higher the dot the harder time they have finding the dot when they transition from shooting a similar gun with iron sights, personally I think it is much ado about nothing and mostly a thing people write about on the internet.

got it thanks

I believe the process they said hey were using (and I verified it on some of the new 18 series classifiers) was take the average of the top 10 scores on that classifier, for older classifiers they supposedly removed obvious outliers then averaged the top 10 but I believe some of that was conditional as L10, Limited and SS sometimes have the same HHF but I seriously doubt the data sets are the same.

this is the way, I just swallow the pill and buy a thousand dollars of powder and primers and I'm good for most of a year of shooting

No ask the questions in order, Did he engage one of the arrays? yes Did he perform a reload? yes Was his reload before he engaged the second array? yes Did the WSB mandate a reload between arrays? no what he shot after the reload before hitting a target in the second array is immaterial, the WSB doesn't dictate that.

That is very normal,
