I picked up another a few weeks ago, fresh out of the box. It was a ~4lb trigger

the 6 MOA is so bright that it leaves a spot on my eye at full brightness. I typically have to use it 2-3 settings down. Its easily 50% brighter than a DPP

I’ll have to work up a shorter load. For now, I have 5-6k of my 1.135 oal to use up.

The barrel shoots perfectly in one gun, and has 7” groups in another gun. Something off with how it locks up. I asked the initial question last night when I was still speculating what the problem was.

The rounds still didn’t shoot accurately in that barrel.

‘It’s not uncommon for a couple of the local matches I attend to have several 40-50+ round stages.

I made up some 1.120 ammo and that made no difference. I’ve come to find that it’s something in the gun itself. I switched barrels with my x5 that was running good, and the problem went away. When I put the barrel from the good x5 into the problem gun, I had the same blown out groups. I spoke with he manufacturer, and they really had no ideas on what else to check. I’ll probably end up sending the complete gun into them to check out.

If I don’t use a grams, I have to use much more force when inserting the mag. In my experience there is much more give when using the grams.

Ya, but much less chance of having an incident during a reload if you use a grams.

I tried that today, made no difference.

I recently purchased an aftermarket barrel for my P320 x5. I sent the manufacturer a dummy round to that they could Ream the chamber to fit my ammo. This is my carry optics gun and when I went to zero it in, I was getting a 6-7” group at 15 yards from a rest. I put the OEM barrel back in, and the group size went back to 1-2”. Speaking to the manufacturer, they had me check the fit, and everything looked good. However one thing I did notice is, they must have reamed it slightly too short. My ammo ranges from 1.130-1.135 and the 1.135 rounds don’t pass the plunk test. The ammo is slightly too long, maybe .002-.003, could this be the cause of the blown out groups? I’ll add that I have another barrel from the same manufacturer on my 2nd x5, and it groups beautifully with the same ammo.

Since I first tried this in the middle of last summer, I've since done all my guns. Id never go back to having to mess with the stick on grips. I prefer the 36 grit, doesn't get gummed up with dirt and skin as easily.

So. On my second trip to the range and about 600 rounds on the Romeo1, now it won’t hold zero. Started noticing that that I was missing small pieces of steel, so I checked the zero and it was off about 2” at 10 yards. I re zero’d And a couple hundred rounds later it was 3” low at 10 yards. I had heard this was an issue with the 3 moa version. Did I just get a bad one? Or?

I find the green easier to pick up. But in the end its personal preference.

Listened to all of this years summit. Very insightful, highly recommended.

It was on sale for $675, plus a store wide 10% off holiday sale.

Some great deals to be had on the the outgoing X5s. my LGS had a new X5 on closeout for $610.

2.80 with my carry optics gun. I really need to work on my draw, I average about a 1.3-1.4, lots of room for improvement there.

+1 for the Inov-8 Mudclaw

I have a Dillon Super 1050 with a Mark 7 pro auto drive and lately I’ve had inconsistent powder charges. I’ve had several rounds in the last couple batches that were clearly under powered. Not quite squibs, but generally won’t cycle, or barely cycle the slide. I start each session with an average of 10 drops to make sure it’s set where I want it. Then I’ll usually load 2-3 k rounds. I look in every case via a converted back up cam. And while it’s easy to see a double charge or no charge, a low charge is a lot harder to spot. 99.99% seem to be ok, but maybe 1-2 per 3k are half charge or so. Any ideas?

Been using pro grip, not a fan of the white residue...

I bought a battery powered vest and gloves for this years winter shooting. The gloves especially are very useful. I make sure I leave them on at least 10 mins before I’m up. Makes a big difference in my finger dexterity.

I normally wear 11, I ordered an 11. It’s slightly tight, but not uncomfortable.

How many rounds would you estimate you have on it?

I’ve been told that the Romeo 3 has the same internals as the c-more rts2. It’s so big though....
