Sees Target (5/11)

  1. Tap powder canister when brass is in the up position. Knuckle rap. Might help....
  2. It's hard for me to imagine a 750 being so worn out that it needs a rebuild. How long have they been making them? I have a feeling you may have bought a press someone had automated and ran hundreds of thousands of rounds on. I have a 650 that I have manually loaded around 140,000 rds on & it has needed a few small parts but the press really doesn't need anything major. In my opinion Dillon shouldn't have to warranty a manual operated press that's been automated.
  3. In person I watched Eli_a shooting that gun this weekend. Ran perfectly & looked very flat! Beautiful gun.
  4. Bad Dog(Colt) builds great guns.
  5. Sorry for your loss. Hopefully your memories of your friend will bring you many smiles.
  6. Tongue in cheek here but why don't they just let each competitor have his own division? That way we all win & everyone gets a first place win. Hahaha. Just how many divisions do we need? At most local matches in this area, you wind up with only a few people in each division. Let's water that down some more....
  7. I still have not seen any legitimate reasons for doing staff reset. I sincerely disagree that it makes a fair & equitable match for all shooters. About 5-10% of competitors at any match have an unfair disadvantage. Not 1 of you folks that say staff reset is better for everyone has offered to staff reset for the staff shooters. The staff always has to reset for themselves usually with smaller squads, they have to shoot the entire match in less time than the regular competitors. That is not equitable. I am sure many of you are saying (perhaps laughing) to yourself "none of the r.o's are ever going to win a major match". Probably true but we want a fair shot at doing the best we can on every stage & doing it in a fairly equitable way. You make this staff reset for main match competitors but not for r.o.s, you have just given yourselves a huge advantage that r.o.s don't have. Either you do part of the work or you are going to be doing it all. Watching you "supershooters" is sort of interesting but it's definitely not a reward or worth all the work. Many of the super competitors are great folks & I enjoy helping them & doing my part by r.o.ing but you folks that want me to shoot the match in shorter hours doing all our own reset & then putting our scores in with folks that don't do anything but shoot is not fair & separates "us" from "you" even more. Again, I am not trying to pick a fight, just expressing my opinion. It's a volunteer sport, not just for some but for every competitor.
  8. Eyes move to target & the gun follows. If you try to move the gun with your eyes, you will overrun targets or be incredibly slow. Your eyes can move faster than your hands can move the gun.
  9. It's a deal. I won't be working any staff reset matches. I just have to adjust to the thought of going to a match & not helping. For 24 plus years, I have never been to a match where I didn't lend a hand. Even if I wasn't r.o.ing, I would help. If I got out early, I would help hang new targets or after lunch, help get stage ready. Maybe that has been detrimental to my shooting but I always felt it was a group effort. Once it's staff reset, it becomes shooters & r.o.s, completely separate. No longer a group effort. Thanks guys for expressing your opinions without anger.
  10. I am curious why any r.o. would volunteer for staff reset match. I've always felt part of being a shooter is helping by resetting. I guess it would lower the frustration having to continue to "encourage " people to reset but it would definitely take away the feeling we are all in this together. If I(as an r.o.) am doing all your work for you, we are no longer both shooters but I am now a poorly paid servant. I can make more money easier at my regular work, why tape & reset steel for a bunch of people just watching? I just can't figure it out. I am not trying to pick an argument but if there is someone that does a lot of r.o. service that has a view to help me understand, please share it with me. If this offends anyone, I apologize up front. I am just looking for someone to share a different view. Thanks!
  11. Nonchlorinated brake cleaner for me. I don’t like mixing cleaner with lube. Compromises both products... Cleaner cleans, lube lubes.
  12. Anyone have an idea of the approximate time(also which time zone you are in) each day montana gold lists bullets?? I cant seem to catch them in stock. Thanks in advance.
