Flatland Shooter

I don't even have 1/2 of a ping pong ball.

What makes it pop off the lens?

I've been buying guns for over 50 years. Still have most of them. Of those few I've sold, I've never lost money.

That is one barrel I have not tried. Several locals have JP complete PCC's and some are running JP barrels. I need to see what they can do.

If they have not checked their loads and barrels at 100 yards, they need to be afraid. Earlier in my search for a good barrel / load combination for UML, I went through several barrels and lots of different bullets trying to find the perfect 100 yard and longer PCC combination. For most of my barrels, I never found a load that give the kind of accuracy you are achieving. Accuracy in the order of 6" to 8" groups at 100 yards was the norm. (Tested at 100 yards, gun with 18X scope and nicely sandbagged.) My best accuracy came from one barrel (out of six) with 121 gr MG IFP and 125 gr MG JHP. There is also an honorable mention for Eggleston 98 gr coated bullets which shot well out of two of the six barrels. Only one factory load (some old Winchester 147 gr subsonic LE ammo) tested well. Hopefully most out there have good 100 yard groups like yours. But until they take the time to verify, be afraid, be very afraid.

` Now that I'm shooting 100% PCC, the Glock mags are not that expensive (compared to SVI's) so I have several mags with dummy rounds for dryfire. I have a bent piece of Kydex in the mag that stops the top bullet in the mag from advancing so I can practice unloaded starts without running a round into the chamber.

What sight is that? Thanks.

Pretty impressive. Even in practice I limit myself to about 10 yards if the target requires more than one hit.

Did you use just the laser for all six shots on T3 (the 35 yard target)?

Be sure to get lots of practice before match day. I decided to give it a try a while back, first with a .22LR then with my PCC. With the .22 it was no problem keeping two quick shots in the A zone. Move up to the 9mm and the second shot would move right to the outer edge of the C zone unless I was willing to drastically slow down for the second shot. Finally I found that if I could stabilize the buttstock better, I could decrease the split time and keep the second shot in the A zone. I have a DAA magnet on my belt. Moved over to just above my right pocket (strong hand side), I found that I could rest the buttstock on the magnet and pull the gun into my hip with my weak hand. Made a world of difference. With practice I also found that this technique only saved me time if I had some movement between the first and second target using that time to bring the gun up to my shoulder. If the first two targets were in close proximity, it was better to just go with the red dot.

I purchased some 3/4" x 1/8" x 36" aluminum from Home depot and built my own C-More risers. Stack them however high you wish. I'm still experimenting with it. Using 3 pieces (3/8" increase) requires 10-32 x 7/8" socket head cap screws.

I still have my slide rule from engineering school. Now I use it as a straight edge.

Still running into RO's that either don't have a clue on all things PCC or just don't care. Shot a classifier about a month ago where the start position is "buttstock on belt". His interpretation was buttstock on belt, gun pointed directly downrange and barrel downward at minimum of 45 deg. Explained that's not how we have been doing it for the past 18 months but he would not start me until I complied. Maybe the paperwork will help in the future.

Based on the dates of his recent classifiers, he has also swung over to the darkside. ?

Nice. I've printed it and put a copy in my range bag. Kinda wish it had a date on it. Thanks.

It must be nice that they have enough shooters show up that they can feel free to alienate a few with stupid stuff.

One heck of a first post. Also very interesting.

I'm down to my last few pounds of N-320 after using it exclusively for several years. Right now it's readily available but that was not the case several years ago when I ran out. Based on favorable comments here on the forum, I plan on giving Sport Pistol a try. If I like it and its nearly as clean as N-320 then I'm saving around $15 per pound. If not, I'll once again stock up on N-320. Looking at the big picture, paying an extra $15 every 2000 rds or so is not a big deal.

Trying to jump through the hoops to get something gun related fixed under warranty is not my style either. But PSA is different. A while back I had a new PSA upper fail to lock back the bolt when manually manipulating the bolt catch. Contacted Palmetto and they arranged return shipping. Not too long later got back the repaired upper along with one of their (then) new "PCC" marked barrels installed. Excellent customer service.

Would adding a Taccom 9mm feed ramp be considered "molesting it"?

Do you know if his PSA barrel is marked "PCC" or has it been throated? Could it be an earlier PSA barrel with a short throat? I have several barrels that require I load short. I also use 147 gr Xtreme RN bullets. Loaded at 1.085" and they have no problems passing the plunk test. I do not remember the last time I had a Failure to Feed during a run. Loading the first round, yes. But Bang ,Bang, Bang, Jam ..... never.

I have a pair of the Spinta stainless steel 16" barrels. They were out of the initial run so the chambers require loading short but that may have changed. Not the lightest or the heaviest out there but they are proving to be good barrels. Currently they are available with both 1/2-28 and 1/2-36 threaded muzzles.

Looks like we can reference a rule and make a comment. So I'd say its just a draft and can be changed.

Folks like Spinta offer them in both threads. Shooter's choice.
