Trying to figure a light Steel Challenge load for my czechmate. Would say 3 or 4g of fast powder going x velocity is better then 6 or 7 g of a slow powder work better. Looking at sub minor loads using either 100g or 115g. I understand that slower powder will work comp better but I don't think the comp will do much regardless at 1000 fps. Thanks

Thanks buddy I'm hoping to get out as much as I can. I just have to pace myself these days more then I like.

Wanting to quit, I completely hear that. Example just today shot a 6 stage steel Challenge, came home worked on a tractor for two hours, mowed lawn, did some other outside junk. Had three beers. Life seems almost normal. Knowing Monday is coming is like taking a perfectly good car and driving it into a tree. But just like you said the end game is worth it and the short game is temporary. Thanks so much for the support!

I hear you 100% the neuropathy is pretty scary stuff. I lost two fingers and thumb on my left. Have you tried cymbolta not sure spelling. It's supposed to help with the never damage. I know we will make it through this but the road there is a real s.o.b

We barely have anyone around my area running CO or Open. I can not see it taking off in big way here. Seems everyone is going RF at my local matches. Though PCCs do have a following. Do you guys have a lot of Open and CO shooters at your matches?

Well I'm down over 50lbs from 248lbs at the beginning to 196lbs currently. I needed to loose weight but I'm getting pretty light, I'm 6'3". I made it through 3 out of 8 chemotherapy cycle. It's a pain in rear, get 2 hrs of chemo then a pump for 46hrs go back and unhook. Get a week off and do it again . On Monday I feel ehh okay aside from wearing that fanny pack, by Thursday Im pretty much at my low. The positive is that I seem to be ehh okay sorta by Friday and by Monday the following week I'm noticably better. By the time I hit Wednesday I'm back to 85+ percent. The most depressing is knowing I'm going back down hill the following Monday. Side effects vary but nausea and fatigue are the worst. I have not stopped though. I mostly shoot Steel Challenge and while I had to back off with pistols due to shakyness I made GM in 3 out of the 4 rifle classes. I force myself to practice and keep at it. I would not be able to do any of this without my wife though. For people going through this without anyone must be truly a massive undertaking. I'm worried about school starting again though not sure I'm going to be able to make it through the chemo weeks, have to see how that plays out. Might be week in week off, don't want to stop! I thought I would let you all know how I'm progressing at this. Take care and thanks for the support

I would think it has to go in the 3rd station after the powder drop? I would set my powder drop for very light and let the M die open it up. I load 38 shots on 550 with no M die but definitely helpful especially with heavier bullets 150g +. Squirrel

I emailed them a while back no response. I ordered the 920 one and used some heavy roofing rubber as a shim. After 2000 plus rounds it's stayed pretty well put. But id still like to try the 750

Good information thanks for the help

Thinking about the 750 depriming issue below got me searching around. Looks like Mighty Armory decapping/ sizing dies use a spring loaded pin. Have any of you guys had any experience with them in 9? Thanks

I also get this, most of the time it's European crimped 9s that cause issues. However I have found that other non crimped brass will also cause this. Unfortunately I don't have a Dillon decapping die. On the one year wait list.

All good information here

Thanks guys sounds like I'll stick with the one shot

What do you guys prefer, One shot or Dillon lube? Forgot to mention this would be for pistol cases.

Thanks for the info

Looks like the 7 and 8 are about the same price wise. Just go with the 8?

This doesn't sound to promising sorry to hear youv had these issues

Any type of camera would be fine, I was just thinking of a "go-pro" type of camera. Thanks

I was thinking one I could mount on my hat?

very sad news, our sport has truly lost an icon today Here is a write up on his life https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/jim-scoutten-passing/478513

Hi everyone Not sure what forum to put this in but does anyone have any suggestions for a go pro? I most do steel Challenge if that makes a difference. Thanks Squirrel

Iv seen it on the shelf's here in Connecticut and Maine. Running around $55 lb.

Those look like some nice upgrades

I wish they were still making clays. A friend of mine called hodgdon a few months back and was told it's currently out of production. I have used it in the past for soft 45 loads with pleasant results. I have heard clay dot is pretty close might try that one.

That's on my list. A friend of mine has some going to give that a go next. Good seeing you the other weekend
