Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. ...indeed you are correct. My bad, as usual.. SA
  2. ..and, you must also read ALL of the rules. Per the glossary, "Standing: The compeitior's body is fully erect with both feet planted firmly onthe ground or other designated position" So, "Standing with wrists below belt".... SA
  3. Another vote for the LPA here. Gotta keep an eye on the mounting screws but that's true for any rear sight. SA
  4. For 9mm and 45 acp in the revolvers I use a Lee U sizing die and less crimp. Solves the bullet pull and keeps the coating/gilding/jackets intact.
  5. Yeah, frame mounting is specifically not allowed. Welcome back to open...but if you were closer I'd keep you company. SA
  6. That's sweet! I've been thinking about shortening up the backup gun....you're not helping. SA
  7. This is exactly how I got back into reloading....
  8. No, really, I see what he's saying. If the perfs are aligned as noted in the diagram, and the area outside the perf, of course, doesn't exist, and the area up to and including the perf on the no-shoot are impenetrable, then what, exactly, is the shot that touches the perf of the overlying no-shoot scoring on? I know it's not how it's done, but I can see his point. SA
  9. I jumped through all of these hoops and more, being terribly nearsighted and shooting irons. I tried upper corrections to my front sight distance, front sight correction strong eye, distance weak eye, all of it. My conclusion? After a lot of tests trying different things I found that my accuracy for USPSA shooting is just fine with standard progressives and blurry sight blobs--in fact, my points are consistently higher with the standard progressive lenses when I shoot identical stage setups with the various options I've had made for me over the last few years. Which was annoying, and expensive. The exception to this rule is long targets, which at my local ranges don't happen much. Beyond 25 yds I need to take a little more time to visualize the sight blurs into some sort of alignment to score As. But it's so much better for the rest of what we shoot that I'll take that extra bit of time for those rare shots. Do talk to Chris at Hunter's Gold-- he's a great guy and may have suggestions for you based on what has worked for others. SA
  10. ..and while we're at it, you should have been there too. 11 revolvers!
  11. I was there. Gun is well within the 180, camera guy is well outside the 180. 0 degree downrange is to the left.
  12. Large pistol magnum CCI at brownells. limit 2. https://www.brownells.com/reloading/primers/pistol-primers/pistol-primers-prod79081.aspx
  13. Winchester Small rifle at midway. One per, of course...
  14. Winchester small pistol at Midway, limit 1, free shipping but hazmat.
  15. There is a TON of really good feedback and advice in this thread. What you do with it is up to you. Steve
