Calls Shots

Calls Shots (8/11)

  1. I went with Red Hill Tactical for my 17.5 MOS. Very happy two years on. I ordered it custom and it took a month. They have some in stock right now. Be sure and let them know if you are using a light or red dot.
  2. not even close. I live in Oregon and ROed the low-cap nationals at Frostproof FL a couple years ago. Even though I my hotel was comped (had to take a roommate-TG a nice guy), the per dime and travel fee didn’t come close to covering my airfare and car rental. It cost my roughly a grand to “volunteer.”
  3. I chatted with a Dillon rep a while back. Basically set up with the .38 spec plates and locator pins. The case feed use the purple one (usually the .40). Powder funnel is the one for 9mm.
  4. I hate to be that guy, but I think this is a manufacturer trying to make a market. On social media I spotted a S&W “zazzle reel” touting their new models. One was a revolver with an optic. It looks very much like the 9mm R8 that JM used on the plate rack record but with the optic probably factory installed. I’m putting my tin foil hat back on now.
  5. Interesting and topical for me. In November, my local club had “Revolver Revival.” For giggles we pick a dead or dying division to focus on. Since, I’d recently started playing in ICORE open, I was tempted to play with my dotted and comped wheelie. However, a couple days before the match I saw I was going to be the only 8-shot open shooter so I succumbed and brought my iron sight blaster. A rule change or a new division would be nice to keep me out of open, but I doubt that it would encourage more crazy low-cap players.
  6. The key word in the command is “IF”. The RO is asking you if you’re done. You cannot ask them.
  7. My 627 sweet spot: Starline short colt brass and TK .25 blued moons. Never fails to gauge. Close second is Revolver Supply moons .25 stainless. Your results may vary… Another tip: get as pointy bullets as you can. I like blue bullets 147gr .358 RN.
  8. I am fortunate-my office/ workroom is a spare bedroom with a closet. My five belts get draped over the dowel. Wife tolerates this as one of the belts is hers.
  9. Saw it all over my feed. As usual, he made it look effortless…
  10. You’re forgetting the command, “if clear HAMMER DOWN, holster.” If the gun is hot, it will go bang during hammer down and the shooter wins a free trip to Dairy Queen.
  11. I load 147 gr at 1.2 oal. American Select works well for me too.
  12. Depends on the definition of simple. I already have a good supply of short colt brass and a time-tested load. Saves me having to change the shell plate and sizer die plus keeping track of inventory. If I have to keep track of which brass is for 929 vs 627, I’m going to go ahead and load 9 so I can tell at a glance what ammo is at hand. Agree that that life would have been simpler if I’d gotten another 627 but haven’t been able to find one in over a year. The 929 popped up out of the blue at a match and a FTF cash deal made it an easy choice.
  13. Thanks. I remembered that this subject had been discussed recently but apparently my search engine fu is weak. FWIW mine were resized in a short colt die and don’t look anything like his. Haven’t reloaded them and see if they go through the 627. Kind of moot since I’ve got my 9mm load and moons dialed in but was curious.
