When I started shooting revo I was told I wasn’t allowed to because I was under 30. However, I was granted a waiver because I groan reflexively when leaving a seated position. To get this back on track though, has anyone got a good method of dry firing a swinger?

Pretty sure East Coast Regional is close to you... if you wanna shoot ICORE.

I’d be interested if there were weekend slots left.

My dance card is looking a bit light this year. Looking for inspiration by asking what Revo majors y’all are shooting.

I use dental picks...

I know that, everyone knows that. But I can’t stop cleaning it. I does nothing, yet still I clean. Please send help. I’ve found that plated does nothing, in fact it was slightly dirtier relative to my .358 coated bullets.

You saying last shot to first shot of the new cylinder? Shooting classic last-to-first in A class I can manage a 2.4-2.8 pretty easy. The biggest issue IMO is getting everyone out. If you’re limp on the extractor and you get one that doesn’t eject, or worse, under the star... Another hot take: Cut down comp IIIs aren’t faster. They do load more consistently and the rounds don’t get caught up in the plunger as much, if ever.

Looks like it’s open now.

Oh good, it’s not just me. Would you happen to have a Houge long take you can take a photo with to compare Houge short and TK with? I’m curious to have a side-by-side-by-side.

No, he just opens the cylinder and throws the new moon in from afar like a witch. Not trying to blow too much smoke up his skirt but even at 0.25 speed it’s still very hard to see everything.

There’s a lot more information on the ICORE Facebook page than the website currently.

Tighten your strain screw.

TK custom used to make one. Maybe give them a call to see if there’s one on a far shelf they’ll sell you.

In stock? Really? I stand corrected. Still, make sure you have one in hand before starting your swap.

As others have said, I’d avoid a new blade. You have to break the windage screw to remove it and you can’t find a new one anywhere really.

Would be willing to share your front and rear sight dimensions?

We have topics that are ten years old get dragged up so two months is nothing. This might work for me but I’m on a 550 so unless I combined seat and crimp I’m SOL. I got one of the uniquetek funnels that was recommended. Didn’t do dip.

From the Ruger instruction manual: “The 10MM GP100® will function, and has been tested, with 40 S&W caliber ammunition, but may misfire (fail to fire) with some commercial ammunition. For this reason, Ruger does not recommend the use of 40 S&W ammunition in this revolver.” But again, I’m hijacking your thread. I was just giving a heads up that you might have a headache inbound. But anything with tuning a Revo for competition is potential headache territory.

Off topic, but are you actually able to use 40 in it? I’ve seen multiple people have issues with it as it heads paces off the 10 mm case not the moon clip. Here’s at least one write up about it: https://revolverguy.com/ruger-10mm-gp100-part-ii-field-report/

It’s a large one. K/L/N have nothing to do with it unfortunately. A 66-8 and 66-2 have different extractor sizes despite being K’s. I use a clothespin with a vice and it works better TBH. But, tool or no tool, load up the cylinder with used brass to take the stress off the star. To add my two cents: I’ve found that the round that does not freely rotate inside of the moon clip will cause the TK checker to fail the moon. Pop that non-freewheeling round(s) out and you’ll get a passing moon. So that is to say that it’s all about the brass’s rim. Your undersized die will do nothing! (In my experience).

I mean I might complain if you went to a USPSA classifier match on purpose with powderpuff loads yet claimed major. But the new ones really need 8 and the old ones are all “shot out” as us crumb-bums say so probably no harm.

So I don’t load 45 Revo but an ICORE load at 125 PF with a 200 gn is 625 fps. I’d argue that it would be light enough for steel and your outlaws. Certainly not many powders will work that slow; I’d assume you’d be stuck using trail boss. Probably too light for pins. If you’re going to get a 929 eventually for USPSA, don’t bother with an additional load. Shoot 6 minor. You’ll get the practice you want without a bunch of different loads. But perhaps thats me; I wouldn’t want 4 loads for one gun.

Someone posted a video if you wanna see the stages:

Total non-sequitor but two Chiappa shooters were at the 2019 IRC (speaking in Italian and everything!). Perhaps an in person plea might help. I know nothing of the internal workings of Ruger but I’d be surprised if the IRC survey from 2018 had no factor in the genesis of the Super GP100.

So looking at your video I’d recommend holding the gun with the open cylinder parallel with your body. That way, you are only getting the X and Y components when lining up your moon to the cylinder. Holding it at a angle requires you get the Z component down pat. YMMV but I think it would be worth it to spend a week dry firing this way.
