    First Match. New Powder?

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    One thing to consider. Open guns are different from other division guns.

    One shooter might recommend AutoComp but that doesn't mean you will have the same results when used in your open gun.

    Comp/Port configuration, reciprocating mass dynamics, etc. are some of the factors that affect perceived recoil.

    Try a little first, then buy some more if you like it. Load development can be costly if done in haste.

    Another thing to consider is that even the most expensive powder (VV 3n38/ VV N105) are still cost-acceptable in comparison to bullet cost.

    On my last calculation, powder cost (3N38) is still the cheapest among the components.

    Introducing PractiScore

    Just finished scoring a small local match. 5 stages, including a classifier. Scored all of it in my iPhone4. Everything went well except for few hitches and a possible bug. I'll send the details to support. Otherwise, it's an elegant solution to an age old handicap' in our sport. Thanks, Practiscore!

    USPSA election results...

    in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

    Posted

    I got the first one and the second and sent them back in shortly after getting them.

    I did too but I'm curious if anyone else got an $18.00 ballot......

    Dave Thomas posted the following on www.uspsa.org today:

    Ballot Issues

    We recently became aware of a problem with the current runoff election when some of our life members complained that they had not received ballots. Working through the accountants we discovered that 63 eligible USPSA members failed to receive ballots.

    That discovery came on the 17th day of November. The bylaws state that ballots must be received by the accountants no later than December 1st to be eligible to be counted.

    To deal with this dilemma, and to correct their error, the mailing house agreed to send those previously unsent ballots via overnight delivery at their expense to the affected members. We have been informed that those ballots went out on November 18, 2011.

    Please note that these are NOT replacement ballots which are prohibited by the USPSA bylaws. These are ballots that should have been sent earlier but were not.

    The board of directors is schedule to address this issue during their December 3-4, 2011 meeting in Dallas. Watch for the online minutes for results.

    Have NOT received mine to date.

    Question for Open Shooters on .38 Super Brass

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Posted

    Sounds like you have range brass there, sort it by manufacturer and throw out any where the headstamp is hard to read, you can get by with this stuff for now but look at ordering yourself some new brass. I'd avoid anything marked with just .38 Super on it and stick to the +p if possible...more because almost all .38 Super made these days is marked +p and I'm betting the .38 super is pretty old. And if you see any marked .38 auto just toss it in the trash.

    Please send all .38 super brass to my home address.
