Cars up here rust out. Especially with that new brine solution they spray on the roads. It works it way into every nook and cranny and eats your car away.
-
I've had the plug completely loosen and get stuck in a case. It wasn't easy to get it out without damaging it.

Never done the Falling steel worlds, steel is just a lot of fun and if the PCC won’t cooperate I’ll just shoot open and locap open.
i was having issues keeping the rifle tight, the aftermarket buttstock is plastic and not at all grippy. I might add a forward pistol grip too.
Though it did behave at blue ridge but to be honest I was using some 9mm legion ammo I had in the safe this time. But I tested it at home first and all was good…. until the match

I should’ve have just taken my iron sight revo and counted to 6 with an 8 round gun, would have got some $, but it’s work with irons. I don’t travel 8hrs to work.
Are you going to try the falling steel World Series at Cardinal next month? It might be worth your time. I’ve got that long to fix my issues. It’s probably a combo of loose grip, slippery shirt and underpowered (?) ammo. I am a pistol shooter foremost, but it’s fun to rail on targets!!! I'll ask Dave O. what his thoughts are.
on stage 2 I tried twice to shoot it your way but got burned, that was some crazy focus you had.
we were at blue ridge last year too. We took 6 guns with us.

I was surprised someone beat Franco! Man that’s fast. You got a decent payday coming!
My PCC stovepiped on 4 stages, but it was just for fun (or not much fun). I was happy with my open guns.
-
I like the Soundgear ones but they are only offering the one super premium line at an insane price. Thankfully I ordered a spare pair of the “cheaper” ones last year when one died.... and then came back to life.
-
I only tried out a 9 major gun once and the dot was dancing all over the place. SV and Limcat sell guns with 2 top ends but at thousands extra when will you ever break even? Considering you’ll need a 2nd toolhead which for a mark7 ain’t cheap either.
A few guys up here have a match 38 and practice 9. That’s a lotta $$$$
-
And some guys use new 9mm starline for big matches.
-
Did you tap the side of the die? Sometimes the lever inside gets stuck at “full”
-
No idea, I just took it off and went through 3000pcs with a primer pocket tool attached to a drill. Ugh. I now have an empty station on the swage die, it’s unnecessary with supercomp.
I should have known there was an issue with a 6 or 7 clutch setting but I’ve never used a swage hold down die.
-
I have always just assumed it was either for a double or no charge. I’ve had a no charge once or twice for some unknown reason (digital powder measure).
-
I’ve seen the laser check stuff but I don’t see the need for the little I load (135,000 in 3yrs).
As for the FW die my swage one broke? All I know is I didn’t notice, cranked up the clutch and deformed the primer pockets of thousands of supercomp
-
I was loading 3grns of n320 behind a 165gr projectile so I’m assuming it wasn’t enough to burn completely.
Currently using the same load for 231
My quick search revealed 244 is harder to find and more $ than 231.
-
In my revolver n320 was a LOT dirtier than 231. I could see instantly my brass was cleaner when I switched (only because I ran out of 320 and it’s currently unobtanium)
Cheaper AND cleaner? Win win.
-
Given 244 is more dense, I assume it will be cheaper per round?
I've got 24lbs of 231 so this is more for curiosity than anything
-
Sarge that's a steal!
-
I had some issues with the FART. Kinda
I would heat up the used Brass Juice mix and sometimes I forgot and it went in the tumbler HOT. This stretched out the seals and they don't sell new ones (anymore). Turns out just cutting the excess does the trick. (it's hard as %%%% to put the lid on with a oversize seal)
And one day I forgot about it and it cooled down and collapsed the tub. So I bought a spare FART and used the new tub. Then years later I found the stashed collapsed tub and it went back to it's original shape!
-
Sorta zombie thread I guess?
It's been a few years now and I run my supercomp at 1730 rpm (actual) and 9mm revo at 2506.
My paddle fell off the primer disc and am too lazy to glue it back so I have a pick and watch the primers and pick off the sideways ones. It was those that would jam at the paddle anyway.
My primer orientation sensor is still hit an miss and IMO needs a redesign.
Has Mark7 issued any new upgrades for the revo/evo pro?

TK is now making brass specific moons for FC and Remington.
-
Not much movement?
-
I like the stay active during a match. I didn't realize how important this was until the last L3 up here where the patching and resetting was all done by the RO's. And you couldn't go in front the lines they set up 20' behind the stages so I couldn't even look for supercomp.
2 minutes after shooting the first stage I said to someone "I'm bored". It was a long dull day with mediocre shooting.
-
All my barrels and comps are TiN coated. Easy to clean. But I shoot JHP and 3N38 but it does get dirty
I use brass picks and Boretech C4 carbon cleaner. Helps when Amazon confuses 1 box with 1 pack. I’ve enough picks to last a lifetime
I’m not loosing any of the coating in my comps.

Is it really worth it in the long run?

I’ve started shooting a lot of knock down steel and PCC looked liked so much fun I got one. Quickly noticed that during practice if I shot the PCC first my pistol was hard to control. Apart from the trigger it’s quite a different set of skills.
I did a Ron Avery TPC course and I adopted the camming of the support hand to lock the wrist. Works fine but when I went to open it required putting the racker on the right side of the gun.
