Beyond it All

Beyond it All (9/11)

  1. Might as well just buy 10 guns, just in case. I also saw on the news that magazines are one time use, so you should pick up at least 500 of those.... Most people will never hit 100k rounds on their gun and probably not even 50k. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Or just buy a bunch just in case, it sounds like you may just want to justify buying a bunch of guns so do it.
  2. I mean, it does look ridiculous but the video is great and I'm not begging anyone to film me.
  3. I use the 10 ft selfie stick on my cart. Somewhere here posted about it like a year ago. I run a Hero 9 on it and attempt to control via the app but it's a little hit or miss. Everyone I shoot with makes fun of me for it but it has great video and where I shoot you can position it so see most of the entire stages.
  4. I just ordered one to try out in my 34.5. been rocking the alpha since the day it was released and figured I'd pick this up given it's free shipping weekend.
  5. I know of a few people with over 100k on their Glock 17s and one with over 250k and none have experienced any major issues, just replaced wear parts. Like others have said, if you plan to shoot 100k rounds every few years, you can afford a couple $450 guns. That being said, I did crack the frame on a stock XDm 40 in under 5k rounds which is why I now shoot a Glock.
  6. I made kydex adapters that are easy to make but ultimately just got an ELS belt.
  7. I started with a 550 and within a year got a 1050 and within a year after that built out a dedicated reloading room in the basement. But I still tell my wife reloading saves money.....
  8. The breakdown between rounds is helpful.i have a 1050 set up for 9mm and 223 and load everything else on my 550 including testing new loads. It's a great set up for guys who shoot a lot and reload a lot of different calibers.
  9. How many calibers, which. Ones, and estimated yearly rounds for each. I have a 550 and 1050 which is mostly overkill but I love it. Crimped brass worries are a thing of the past and I can crank our my rounds for the summers months in an afternoon. It's all a time vs money argument.
  10. Jentra has a good offering too at a lot less money but it's also not as heavy. I've been using one and picked up a second for my backup gun but I am tempted to try out the heavier glockstore one at some point.
  11. I worked the hoser stages at our local sectional. Targets all 5 yards and in but some great footwork and reloading skills were needed to be real fast. The gram folks were out there tearing it up on video and I think our highest mike could was in the low teens with most averaging 5-7. Everyone would come in thinking there is no way you can miss a target that close.....
  12. I picked up a used dehydrator for like $20 after doing the fan thing. So much better! It pretty much works out that if I'm running multiple batches of brass by the time the second is done tumbling the first is done drying. I usually just run a 5 gal bucket of brass one day and be good for most the season.
  13. I have an ender 3 pro and a CR10. If you have a microcenter by you, they sell base ender 3s on coupon for $99 every month or so. The reloading discord has files and a manual on how to put together and print lists based on the motor you select and some other parameters. It's pretty straight forward and has good support. There is also a 3d printed router adapter for case trimming that's pretty good and saved me another $300 there.
  14. I got a 3d printer over a year ago based on the projects in the reloading discord. My printer easily paid for itself 5x over in reloading projects and was very easy to get going. On the high end, a bullet or case feeder costs about $100-110 for the first one and $60 for every one after that. Also depending on the size of printer, you can make huge 3d printed feeders and if a motor blows, you can cheaply replace it compared to what Dillon charges. But if you're not comfortable with a 3d printer, I'd likely buy actual because as discussed the sold.3d printed ones aren't much cheaper to justify them.
  15. When I started the I showed up with Benelli Nova duck gun and a fanny pack for shells. I was hooked up by pretty much everyone on my squad who all eagerly pushed me to try their gear. I got some shell holders from a guy who went open but still brings them to every match to loan out. I now do the same thing and Ive accumulated a lot of gear and keep extras in my truck to loan out. But the point has been made, none of it really matters as locally 3gun has been dead for 2 years but they are trying once again to revive it this year. Shotgun ammo seems to be more available but at $11 plus a box it's not the.cheapest thing to shoot anymore.
