I took mine to a gunsmith for help. We didn't use heat, but he did have to get out a big pipe wrench to get some leverage on it. Of course he had a good vice to put it in too.

Maybe you've checked this, but.. Load a mag up then push each round out like it would be stripped into the chamber. I had a mag or two that had a somewhat sharp edge at the front of the mag. As a round would come out the lip/edge of the case would slightly catch on that. Maybe a round just didn't get taper crimped quite enough or something. Anyway, I slightly champfered/rouded that edge of the mag and it hasn't happened since. Worth a look see. Good luck.

Thanks, that was a good video. While watching I was thinking, humm, that might be nice. Then he said it was a dirtier system. That leaves me out. I hate cleaning my gun as is. I don't need something that will need me to clean it more often.

OK, dummy here. What is a roller delay system and why is it better I assume?

He hasn't been in a long while now. I keep hoping he would so I could do just that. Hope all is well with you. Happy New Year

I'm experimenting with the 95 gr bullet from RMR and working up a really light load with titegroup. I'm at about 100 PF right now It cycles my gun (gmr 15 w/5 steel) so now I'm ready to start practicing with it. I wonder what the upper echelon of pcc shooters use at nationals, let's say gm level. I wonder what the winner used this year.

I have the 14.5 barrel and use 124 at about 133 pf. I find that holding the gun tight to my shoulder is what works best for me too. And I too have the 5 steel, but I really would like to try with one T like Falcon pilot has. I'm just too lazy to mess with changing out the weights- don't want to mess things up.

I use c-more railway with a 6 moa dot. Same on my pcc. Nice big window with no clutter around it.

IMO, FWIW, if you're going for a lightweight gun for steel challenge why would you want to shoot full power loads in it. You don't necessarily have to go down to mouse fart loads, but a lighter load will help with recoil and be a little faster. I only played with it a little on a previous pcc, but I tried a quick release mount for my optic on the pic rail. It worked well in that didn't lose zero taking it on and off.

I have one on my LNL AP I load with now, but I will be loading these on my lee classic cast turret. with an RCBS uniflow attached to it. I really like the pyrex measure.

I'm toying with the idea of a really light load for pcc for steel challenge. I'm using 95 gr FMJ from RMR bullets. I've gathered from reading various forums, etc. that a fast powder would be better for this. I thought about titegroup but have read that due to its high nitro content it's hard on powder measures (etching) unless you empty it each time. Well, I prefer to leave powder in the measure and load a few once or twice a day as the mood hits. Therefore i'm thinking of WST. Anyone with experience with this powder have any tips, pros or cons they could offer? Thanks.

I think anyone over 80 should shoot free-wherever. And no I'm only 70.

I use Ballistol in a spray can. I don't carry it in my range bag, but with the cap on there would be no chance of leakage.

C-more railway

Thanks.

Can I ask what bullet, powder and load info you are using to get 61 pf? Or even 80 for that matter.

The more I think about it, it might be a good way to train to shoot with both eyes open. I still catch myself closing my left eye on occasion.

Humm, that sounds weird, but I'll try it sometime.

By taping the optic do you mean using the tape to make a hood over the front of it?

I haven't looked, but have you tried the B&S forum here? Many other shooting forums have B&S sections too.

Peltor tactical 300. 500 if you want bluetooth.

Yeah, I don't get it with all the broken firing pins. I'm still on the original in my JP now for almost two years and I never broke one in the Colt I had the previous 2.5 years before that. And I had a replacement Timmney trigger in the Colt. My guess is it has to do with all the jacking around with bolt and buffer weights.

I have to torn off mine after every stage also. I have never run a battery completely down but if I see I have to turn it all the way to max just to see it I change it. True it is not a major expense, but just an inconvenience. Especially when other sights seem to run forever on a battery.

Unless they come up with a better battery for it I'd hate to think it was worse on battery life than the red already is.

If you have JP rifle they will s4end you a barrel nut tool for free if you ask them. (At least they did when I got mine) Once you have the tool it's not that hard. I put a Smoke Composites handguard on mine. It comes with its own barrel nut.
