Ive used the same primers for years, cci small pistol #500 and never had a reason to change (not to mention I had near an unlimited supply) Now were in another drought and I'm looking for anything usable for 9mm I know I can just google it but I'm hoping I can get your favorites and least favorites to keep an eye out for

9mm

double post

Haven’t heard of either of them, but all my normal people are out (for once used brass) — just looking for someone with “some” reputation at all at this point

I assume the spring that comes with the ZEV Technologies Competition Spring Kit is 4#?

So are you saying use a 4.5 striker spring?

About that time.. Prices seem to be around $300 but a lot of people are out of stock, just want to make sure people are raising prices because availability...

Seems fairly common, my question is why dont people just spend the extra $40 and get a lightweight firing pin so they can use the 4# spring?

If I get the Zev competition spring kit and Zev pro connector and dont use the reduced power firing pin spring (I'd rather avoid light primer strikes) is it going to change my results on the pull a lot?

Zen spring kit comes with extra heavy trigger spring, reduced power firing pin spring, and reduced power firing pin safety spring... If I dont use the firing pin spring (I'd rather not deal with light primer strikes) will it still lower my pull a good bit?

I dont remember if it was here or not, but I've shot production for quite a while now without changing a thing on my G17 (like everyone said)... At this point, whats the go to changes on my trigger to start testing out on practice days? Before anyone says "its different for everyone", I know, but if you shoot a "milspec" AR trigger for 3 years then test out a SSA-E, AR gold, etc you WILL notice a difference, I am just asking what "most" people tend to change so I can run the tests myself. Thanks

I know everyone thinks its a waste of money, as did I, but the $100 dry fire mag is pretty damn nifty and I cant really say the $100 wasnt worth it

Obviously you can only pull the trigger once to dryfire.. I know there are dryfire mags, etc.... but what are you guys doing? I assume there has to be a standard and its not that...

Ok.. so I do pass low recoil loads in the store but never even pick them up cause shooting on my property I just buy cheap target rounds... So for 3-gun do you guys usually just run standard 1oz 2 3/4 #8? There's no low recoil other than in slugs? Is it even worth it (I guess if its the same price and cycles it is)?

Long time skeet shooter, semi new 3 gun.. Is there a go-to soft(er) shooting round known to cycle perfect in the M3K with a 5rd ext? I'd like to stock up on one or two of the "known to run like a top" loads

Seems to be $50 cheaper than everywhere else but I dont want to wait months...

Ok thats what I was looking at. I try and be a bare necessities guy and have 2 bags, one for the range and one for uspsa (which consists of nearly nothing) but then I have to transfer stuff from one to the next which is just calling for me to forget something so I'd rather just have it all together and throw it in a cart and call it a day

I'm looking for a "wagon" not really a "shooting cart". Are you guys just getting them on Amazon? I like my bag but its big and fullll of crap, I am sick of hauling it around... I'm only30 but I'm ready for a pull cart already

Thanks for all the answers, hadn't been back to check on this. This (post) is my thoughts exactly, and as far as the person cut, I was told about it (which was probably an exaggerated story). The amount of matches shot at semi-close range are astronomical and you never hear about it, but those one or two "stories" always have me wondering. But the reason for asking was because the difference in several steel targets on a few stages and me renting a bay and shooting 500+ rounds at steel, just weighing my odds hah. I love shooting steel, even if its just mixed in a match or practice and the place I practice charges $20 to rent steel which isn't bad, but its not terribly expensive to buy and you get more variety than they have and I can just throw it in the truck bed. I park in my "bay" at the practice club so it wouldn't be much of a pain to bring my own. Looks like I will carry on with my shooting, as long as you have good glasses it seems to be safer than some make it out to be.

I would think it would be better, but then thought maybe higher velocity ammo just turns to shrapnel and ends up being safer. This coming after a club member getting cut open from a ricochet. I've been shooting a lot of steel recently but am semi concerned about the safety of it, especially from USPSA distances (all my steel is in perfect shape aka no pitting or I get rid of it) I put this in the reloading section cause I just assume everyone here has a better ballistic brain from tinkering with these kinds of things

My club uses steel that is welded from the back to the stand so the front is completely flat (no screw holes or mounting devices) but I can get the AR500 steel with the hole in the front for fairly cheap, which is probably what most people use... My question is, what one of these "mounting" ways do you think is safer for ricochet? The one obviously mounts angling slightly forward (hopefully directing the bullets at the ground) and the other hangs the target dead flat but will have some give since its not screwed in and secure.

I dont plan on interchanging them, but I grabbed a box last night on accident from my stash when going for my #500's for 9mm (I use Remington for rifle, so impossible to mix the pistol/rifle boxes up usually). Anyway, just curious if in a drought people use small rifle primers, specifically CCI#450 sm. rifle for CCI#500 sm. pistol (I think I've read this multiple times) since I have 5000 of them that ill probably never use unless times get tough again

I dont know how I could go shoot with a bunch of friends and be doubled up with non-electronic earmuffs, do you just not talk to anyone the whole time? Haha

I got it on the spot when my club has the class for $50, if it weren't for that I probably never would have (the class was actually pretty fun and learned stuff I probably never would have). I RO our practice matches only if I even do, we usually have people already doing it.

Thanks for the answers. I drove there the other day and the USPSA login info section was not "sufficient" apparently. I called USPSA and they printed me a new one and scanned it and sent it to me, very helpful
