I am a nobody in the competitive shooting sports world. I think I met Dwight at Del Tone and ended up buying five hundred bullets from him when he still lived in st cloud before he sold his machine to Rick. I tagged along to a couple matches, but only watched admiringly from the sidelines.
I lived in Phoenix years ago and had Nelson Ford do some awesome triggers on some of my revolvers. It was much easier in the late eighties to find places to shoot targets and plink. From where i lived in North Phoenix I could drive out to a good shooting spot in fifteen minutes! I used to work at a machine shop that did parts for Dillon so I was able to get set up for dirt cheap, though I dont have any of it anymore.
Thirteen ounces, wow! I think Nelson did my .44 magnums at 2 3/4 lbs and I thought that was good.
I live in Champlin, mn now and will message you my info in case you are in this area. Maybe I could go watch you break in that gun at your range.
I used to have a book by Laslo Antal precision pistol target shooting. Slow one handed shooting is more my style unless i had a lot of .223 or .308 ammo to shoot. A friend is getting into reloading big time so I will be practicing with him occasionally.
Good luck, friend.
