Beyond it All

Beyond it All (9/11)

  1. I’ve never had to swage the crap out of anything. Odd i did have my FW swage die die and make a mess of 3k of supercomp. Had to drill them out one at a time with a pocket tool. I should have known setting the clutch to 6 on my Evo meant something was wrong. Live and learn.
  2. Odd, my supercomp gets left on the ground at matches around 7-8 loads as it starts to blow out right beneath the rim. But never issues with the primer pocket. I even reloaded a batch of revo blazer 9mm 12 times before I decided to start a new batch, just because.
  3. Dropping weight over the winter? Used to when we went down south on vacation. But it’s been a while. I wouldn’t bother until January myself. Holidays are for eating! I usually start dieting Feb 1. As for plans, I need my knee to get better and as for the big lifts…. That is what did my knee in in the first place. Hitting 50 is a drag, I now have to actually warm up before my workout. Maybe put the ego aside and manage the decline gracefully …lol. Higher reps it is I guess
  4. I've also noticed changes in newer brass vs brass loaded many more times. Plus there are variations in bullets though probably more with coated.
  5. On a personal note, did everything go ok yesterday?
  6. We love Morro bay, 8 mins to the range and awesome weather. I still think the 2018 IRC in Mesquite was the best but it was our first. The videos from 2021-2023 IRC’s don’t exactly make me regret not going. Shame the former board and Mark didn’t get along. We would still go to an IRC in Mesquite if one were to be held there (I know it won’t ). Even though it’s a depressing town with people gambling their social security away
  7. I didn't know length was that much of an issue in regards to pressure. I reload my supercomp short enough to not get caught on my mags and my revo loads of 1.185 (but with a 165gr proj.). Nice to know I'm going easy on my revo, it's not like I can get another.
  8. I thought 9 major loaded so long was to make room for all that powder? When a 9mm sneaks into my supercomp it will take 9.5gr of 3n38 right to the brim, I've been told they usually use 8.5gr? Not much real estate left.
  9. I have some 9mm rounds I made up that are 4.3 n320 and are 134ish out of a Legion with a 124jhp.
  10. In my light revo loads 231 was infinitely cleaner than n320. A pleasant surprise.
  11. At Mesquite AZ years ago in 110f temperatures I went from 121 at home to 135 the match (ICORE) with n320
  12. I’ve give up arguing with people about the FCD die. I’ve loaded 100k (or more) of .357/.358 165gr in. 9mm case. No issues and any accuracy issues are due to the human behind the trigger.
  13. I’ve got hundreds of thousands of rounds with the U die and FCD, works like a charm. For those with tight chambers why not get them reamed out?
  14. Talked to someone who runs matches there and it's not as it seems. Best as I understand it ( I was a few beers in) the current association that is running the club is doing things a certain way because "that's the way it's always been done". The hope is they lose the right to manage the property and it goes to people who will do things properly. Certain people still have not gotten money owing from last years match.
  15. It was a lot of fun. Though I'm not sure shooting 9 out of 10 days is such a good idea. I need another week off! Great to see everyone again, revo shooters are the best!
