How do you quote multiple posts in the same reply?

I am not smart enough to quote 2 posts at the same time, but if you read post #5 and this post from Flex it would appear that even at the Nationals this situation is not handled consistantly. Has anyone posed this to NROI for a ruling?

Are they a legal target and if so how do you avoid scoring problems within USPSA rules? They are not a Popper (no calibration zone) so it would seem that they would fall under the scoring rules of plates. 4.3.1.6 Unlike Poppers, metal plates are not subject to calibration or calibration challenges. If a scoring metal plate has been hit but fails to self-indicate, fall, or overturn, the Range Officer shall declare range equipment failure and order the competitor to reshoot the course of fire, after the faulty plate has been rectified. How do you avoid the potential for reshoots when a low hit with a light bullet does not knock it over? Is there something I am missing or is using them in a USPSA match as problematic as I fear?

Any chance you could offer both the "NoBreak" and the translucent, maybe call them the "classic", as I prefer the see through material as well.

Thank you, I should have provided more information. Specifically, will 9mm Mags from a G34 fit a G17? Thanks Yes

Sweet, maybe mine is in that batch. I have been waiting for 3-4 weeks now.

I wouldn't use the cup thickness as a valid comparison, it is possible the material they are made of is softer/harder. A friend of mine used small pistol primers in major PF .38 super and got pierced primers and flow into the firing pin channel so I am fairly certain what would happen with SPP in a .223 or LPP in a .308. Trying something like this whether it be to prove a point or save a few dollars is foolish in my opinion.

This ruling would make it appear that an approval process requiring documents to be submited started at some point, but how do we access the list? I am anxious to see Amidon's feedback to Nik. NROI Rulings Title: STI TRUSight Created: 3/29/06 Updated: 7/31/08 Effective: 8/07/08 Rule number: Appx D2 Spec Applies to: Pistol Ruling authority: John Amidon Status: Released Question Has the STI TruSight been approved for Limited/Limited 10 division? Ruling Yes, NROI has received the proped documentation that this model has reached the requirments. It is legal in Limited/Limited 10 divisions in a 5" .40S&W caliber only.

Are you using rifle primers? Pistol primers will sometimes do this as they are softer. Also an extended firing pin is not a bad idea with the higher pressure loads.

My last order from Powder Valley they let me combine 200lbs of powder and primers, shrink wrapped it to a pallet and shipped it truck freight. Total shipping and handling including hazmat was $60. If you can get enough buddies together this is the way to go.

It would seem that airborn is good to go.... 10.2.1 A competitor who fires shots while any part of their body is touching the ground or while stepping on an object beyond a Shooting Box or a Fault Line, or who gains support or stability through contact with an object which is wholly beyond and not attached to a Shooting Box or Fault Line, will receive one procedural penalty for each occurrence. However, if the competitor has gained a significant advantage on any target(s) while faulting, the competitor may instead be assessed one procedural penalty for each shot fired at the subject target(s) while faulting. No penalty is assessed if a competitor does not fire any shots while faulting.

Do you care to explain why you would even consider such a thing? By shooting it the way you describe you will still be at the bottom of the results and have an almost zero chance of ever improving. Not to mention what everyone else will think of you for not even trying.

The proper way to adjust is to get the reticle in focus with a clear sky as the background. Recheck several times without giving your eye time to focus to the reticle.

Mike, sunday the 24th we are gonna shoot carbines about 9:30, be 5 stages, short, quich and nasty. Or we are haveing 3 gun the 31st. Like to see you here.-----------Larry I'll be at the TX State Limited the 24th. 31st...maybe. Ya'll have a email list I can get on? I've been wanting to get down there. I need to get that AR out and see if I can hit anything past 100 yards sometime!

You had better think this one through again.......loaded cartridge inside of gizmo, neck of case held tight against bullet, ram insuring that the primer stays in place......oh yea, some debris of any type on the ram that sets off the primer. Best case the bullet releases with probably higher pressure than in a firearm, worst case you have just created a bomb.

That is caused from the mix being too wet when poured or drying too fast. Try covering it with wet towels (not the pretty ones in the bathroom) so they will cure slowly.

Nevermind.......guess I need to study up on the new rulebook.

......and most of the stupid pumps around here still shut off at $75, gotta reset to fill up .

No, you would also be changing the caliber of ammunition. What is the rule number that says you can't change caliber. This is what I found "The competitor’s replacement handgun and its appropriate ammunition must be chronographed per Rule 5.6, regardless of whether or not the original handgun was previously tested."

I am 6'2" and built my bench top at 38"(650 with strong mount). It is the perfect height for me to view into the cases as well as comfort reloading while standing.

You should find someone who will let you try their Giraud and see what quality of a job it does, and with ease and speed. Be sure you have funds ready to purchase one though as you will most likely be ruined to it at that point .

My vote is for the TSUIFG as well. I feel that there are to many non measurable variables that come into play for the MFFOM approach .

I recently worked up and chronographed some loads with 147g bullets in a G34 and while testing them and comparing to my load with 125g bullets I thought they shot softer by a large margin. The next match I shot I started with the 147s and about half way through ran out and started topping off and refilling empty mags with the 125s (in no particular order, just all mixed up). What I realized was that while focused on executing a plan for the stage and shooting by reading the sights I never noticed any difference in the way the gun performed. Now I am not recommending that you mix your loads up as I did but I am suggesting that if your fundamentals are good the load probably won't make much difference.

I'm guilty of making the same mistake I was complaining about... being vague. Sorry. Where is the match, not the application. Somewhere in California? Looks like Piru California........the match release covers that range anyway.
