Hello all,
I have recently acquired an Oehler 35P. It is missing the tripods and 4' bar. It has the 3 sensors, printer, and the skyscreens and arms. I set it up and am able to get a reading when using a flashlight across the sensors and the printer even prints it out.
I already have a chrono (In fact, 2). So this is not something I really need. But I have it none the less 8).
Called Oehler and they still have for purchase a tripod kit that includes the 2 tripods and the 4' bar to mount the sensors on.
Question for you all. Is it worth buying the kit for 89 bucks to get this back to a complete working unit? Maybe try to sell off the parts I have instead?
Respectfully,
Mike

AAlbert,
Try going to this website: https://web.archive.org/
Then type in:
stiguns.com
I just looked and there "Appears" to be information there concerning the rifle.
Full disclosure. I looked at 2012 and navigated through the pages and found the rifle. I did not look further.

Good morning,
I struggled a bit on this myself so several years ago I made a laminated instruction sheet I carry in my equipment bag.
I have attached it.

Toolguy,
Thank your for the information
I will certainly also be going to Bates City BBQ based on your response.
Cheers!

Hello all,
I will be relocating from Wisconsin to the Warrensburg / Sedalia area of Missouri very soon. Up here, I am very active in USPSA matches with at least 5 clubs within a couple hours or so of my home town. What are the closest clubs that have monthly USPSA matches in this area? Anybody in the Warrensburg / Sedalia area that participates in these matches? Not really interested in 3 gun, sorry.
While here, I would also be interested in hearing of any public gun ranges, maybe even private if they are not out of this world in cost, that are in a reasonable driving distance of these cities. Would be looking to do basic things like sighting in a handgun or rifle, basic target shooting, and ideally, some practice. Any out there within an hour?
Look forward to moving down to Missouri!
Cheers!

I just recently had a broken case myself. After trying all the suggestions here and even a few others, I took to a gunsmith with a 9mm chamber reamer and he had it out in 5 minutes.
Worth it to me "IF" it happens in the future, to follow the path of groveling at his door again.
Now my brass sorting process is even more strict!

Has anyone heard from rollsizer.com or Kevin? I’ve sent 3 emails over the last 4 days and no response.
Nope, not I. Patiently waiting. And I am not good at that.

That's exactly my set up, doesn't hurt one bit.
I also have this exact setup. Rollsizer, range pickup 9mm, "U" die and have zero issues. 9 major or 9 minor.
My take is this: die choices are a personal decision based on what you have or what you can get. The roll sizer does not affect die choice. The roll sizer takes out any oddness at the bottom 1/3 of the case and that is it. "U" die or not is a choice.
Asking for advice is great and what we are hear for. I like the U die in my loading tools. To me, it gives me peace of mind I will have ZERO set back issues in my loaded ammo.
Required? No. Your choice. Great choice to add? In my opinion, absolutely. I like have peace of mind when it comes to my reloaded ammo.

You could take a look at MBX. Seems like a reasonable option.

Heavy packages can routinely take 2-3 weeks to make their way through the postal service these days. It will most likely show up at some point.
Just disappointing is all. Good news is I am not desperately low at this time.
i can wait it out for awhile. I am trying to learn more patience in matters such as these

Ordered mine last week and the post office lost em
I keep getting a message they are still in transport, but I am quickly loosing hope.
All my buds I told about them and ordered same day received theirs days ago.

Note I an not blaming Precision Delta.

For cross draw, read the article in the current USPSA magazine on page 10. Seems Troy is saying cross draw is not legal.
Just how how I read it anyway.

Precision Delta has 124 GR JHP's on their site. Also have 115 GR.

Item number 9: Take the powder measure off leaving the die it is attached to on the tool head. Remove the expander insert. Problem solved cleaning the dies. Double Alpha has a 1 inch Dillon die wrench that is 1000 times better than the Dillon wrench.

Muay,
What gen msgs are you using?
Gen 2, at least in 9mm, need a minor modification to the Uplula to make it work better. Could be the same issue.

Mine has them. Purchased in March of this year.

I am new to reloading and have loaded 800rds 9mm so far. I fired the first 300rds without issue but was getting a huge spread on my OAL and couldn't figure out why so I started sorting my brass just so I could run everything the same. I loaded four so far FC, Blazer, S&B and *USA*.
FC and Blazer seemed to be spot on with what I set the seating die up for 1.080, FC was right on Blazer tad longer in 1.082-4 range. I loaded 300rds of these two and all of them case gauged in the Hundo nicely too.
S&B and *USA* were both way to long at 1.090-1.094 with all of these rounds failing the plunk test in my CZ chamber. I loaded about 50 rds of these two cases and the results were all the same and very consistent. I am going to try Winchester cases today.
I also pulled all the WMA and WCC Winchester brass as I believe it is crimped?
Does anyone know what FC 19 or FC 18 cases are I did a search and not finding anything? I pulled them suspecting military brass but they don't look like they have crimp and are definitely different than the std FC case? I found the thread on FC NT but these are definitely FC 19 or a few FC 18.
Does anyone know who makes *USA* brass I found a thread talking about it and it was determined its not starline?
I also found a few lists of headstamps to avoid is there a good source for what not to use? I know to throw out Ammoland and PMC any others?
I load all 9mm brass with the exception of the stepped stuff and Extreme without issue. Many threads on 9mm stepped brass here. Should find it easily. Extreme is hit and miss on primer pockets retaining the primer.
FC18 and 19 is most likely military. Remove the crimp and load it. Same for all military brass.
This is how I have rolled my own for many years and only what I do. Others will come along and comment on your OAL and FC brass question. Will also give a list of good and bad brass and also say what I have said about loading all brass.
Once you read all the opinions, you can form your own and move forward. Remember, use many sources to learn as well as your new experiences. This is the fun part of reloading.

Seems to work fine for me 8).

Crew chief,
Does the blue bullet load you have meet your accuracy expectations in all firearms you intend to shoot them in? If yes, do not overthink this and just order the blues and get to loading.

When I replied, I should have provided more info.
Mine is a XDm 5.25. Of significance is I bought a plate and put a red dot on it. Now, my 14 year old granddaughter is shooting it and shot her first USPSA match last Saturday. She is so hooked that I am afraid this is going to get expensive

40,000 rounds throug mine and never had an issue that was not my fault. Failed to clean mags when dumped in sand.

I use a RCBS lock out die. Stops the press hard.

Up here in Wisconsin, seems like the cool kids are all using them. There are several that have really drank the Kool-aid and decked them out wit many of the available accessories. From my observations, they work fine. Better for the price.
I am not one of the cool kids. I am using a converted 3 wheel running stroller.

BV,
You will get a dozen opinions on this, but I load them without a problem for 9major.
I think most but not all case separations are those nasty stepped brass cases like older FM and others that can be found in numerous threads on this forum.
My opinion is load them up and shoot them.
Mike
P.S. 9mm brass is so cheap, if you are truly concenered or have doubts, load them to minor or recycle them

Thank you both for your input.
Shred,
I like your idea and I might just pursue that avenue.
