Heres something you might try... . Hold your glock just tight enough so you dont limp wrist. Fire a shot, is it tracking straight up & down? If not, make adjustments to your grip. If it is, apply a slightly firmer grip. Fire a shot. Still straight? More firm grip, fire a shot. When it starts going at an angle, then experiment with what it takes to keep it going straight up & down. Build on that until you have good recoil management & it goes straight up & down.

All the stages are available for viewing. Looking like lots of fun! Its been awhile since I was handcuffed..... lol

All good hints. If you arent first shooter, air gun it while other shooters are shooting. Its not best way to practice movers but it can help. Feel the time it takes from activation til visible. Lead target, calling your hits as you dryfire. Replay until you have it in your subconscious. Then replay it completely in your mind. All while airgunning. Looks silly but is effective.

Ive never understood why loading short is a problem? I understand if its ridiculously short but factory length doesnt seem a problem. Yes pressure increases & you have a few less choices in powders due to lower volume but really those are small issues.

If the gun runs like it should, it has plenty of value but maybe not in cash resale value.... I have a glock I would trade you..... ?

I like MGM a lot. Especially their forward fall adaption. With that said, most of ours are the sportsman series that we have built bigger bases for. We have maybe 16? Of them. We have shot them every month for over 2 years & they show zero damage except the 1 a guy shot with his rifle.....? The 1/4" steel of the sportsman fall when hit. Period.

Thanks John! I will get it done in morning. Glad they have a back up.

Went to practiscore to build our match for next week & they are off line. Oh man. Visions(nightmares) of paper score sheets is running through my head.... ???? The practiscore guys do a great job. I hope they know how much we appreciate them.? Hope its back up soon......?

We have filled our squad.... several others are filling up. Should be a fun match, like always. I am looking forward to it. See you guys there!

Im not personally fond of the one memphis posted but I like these grips on this gun. Nice thing is you can like it & you can buy it. Choices are great even if they arent something I would choose.

As snug as possible but still able to turn freely.

Does the brass have crimped primers(small ring around the old primer)? If so you will need to swage that crimp before you can load.

Are you using hornady one shot case lube? I had that issue when I used it. Stopped one shot went to dillon no more light rounds. Other people said that couldnt be it but it was the cause of my issues. However I never had any so light bullet didnt clear but there were some close.....

Skippy sanchez & old558, youre welcome. Keep me informed on your progress. Its an amazing drill & exercise, wish I remember where it came from....lol. It can be used for reloads also. If you can find the time to spend an hour or 2 at the range & run this thing, I predict in 200rds of ammo that you can reduce your draw time by 40% & increase your first shot accuracy quite a bit depending on your present level of accuracy. Took my latest student from 2.6 to 1.35s in a half hour & 100rds running this ! Her accuracy doubled on a 10yd uspsa target. Almost every shot was going solid into the A zone. Crazy.

I suggest do all the above & then I have an exercise for you that will speed up your draw. Your avg draw is 1.7. Set your timer for random start & a par time of 1.8. Beep, draw, be ready for par beep w trigger prepped sights on target, par beep, break shot. Repeat until it seems an eternity for that par beep. Make sure your shots are hitting your target!!!! Now move par to 1.7. Repeat. When youre waiting an eternity, lower par another tenth to 1.6. Repeat. Continue this lowering par until you cant beat it. Always always hitting your target. When you get par so low, you are unable to beat it, remove the par. Random start, draw, prep trigger, sights on target, break shot. You should see a significant drop in your draw speed plus if you have always hit your target during the exercise, you should see an increase in your first shot accuracy. This like all practice to build skills only works if youre honest with yourself & follow through with each step & always hit your target. You can use this exercise on close huge targets or far small tight shots, doesnt matter. Just give yourself plenty of par time when you start the exercise to know you can hit your target with solid draw, grip, trigger prep & follow through. Training isnt done to impress your friends, its done to help you get better. THEN you impress friends..... lol

Postal bob hit the nail on the head. Different brands of brass have different internal volumes. This will make your powder check move some. Some brass has thicker web. Some have an internal step. Some has more springback some less. You cant do any real comparisons with mixed brass.

Good resources. Thanks.

Strength is relative to the force being applied. Lets suggest the stainless may be more brittle than some other types of steel.

So if I understand, it doesnt require much more energy? Very interesting..... not intuitive at all.

Just a hypothetical thought but thinking physics.... a 147gr bullet has about 1/3 more mass than 115. How much more energy does it take to move that much more mass? All that energy must be built up in the chamber before the bullet ever starts to move. Then due to friction of the bullet in rifling, how much more energy(pressure) does it take to get to the velocity you need? Of course time is also a consideration but you have to do all this before bullet leaves the barrel. It seems that since energy in this case is directly related to pressure & time, you would be building considerably more pressure than what would be needed for a 115gr bullet. In a 9mm where trying to make major power factor is already fairly high pressure, this might warrant some thought.....

I agree probably high primers. Make sure on your 650 that the shellplate is adjusted as tight as possible but still be able to turn. If its more loose than that, it raises up as youre seating primers & you get not fully seated primer issues.

Love my seekins rifle. Great folks, great guns

Thanks... factory custom shop then. 18rd mag plus small ext will hold 23... does it fit mag gauge?

Im sorry to ask but what is "czc" an abbreviation for?
