Reading the fine print and looking at the picture....Don't think that is a standard 5 hole c-more pattern

Jake,
Did I miss it? What is the Match Hotel/Motel?

I have ordered a zigracker and are wondering if any of you guys know the size and angle on the dovetail cut?
The measurements are included with the racker.....I understand there is a machine part 9lack of better term) that can make the dovetail cut a touch smaller. Overall it makes the racker fit tighter. Ask the person doing the cut. Mine wiggled a touch. It would not fall out, but I just wanted it to fit perfect.

I've had the MatchMaster in 9Major. It is easy to load for with 124s. Several powders like HS6 come to mind. The MatchMaster is not as flat shooting as a standard length 9 Major gun. In my full length I load 9 grains of HS6 with 115 and can crank them out pretty fast on a 650.
You can use the search function and I believe you will find folks shooting 9 major in the SteelMaster. You have 9 mags, go with 9 major. Go out to Starline and price the cost of new 38SC brass.

Hmmm....have you cleaned the gun? There could be something wrong. I don't know about the 7625 load, but the N320 load should have cycled the gun just fine. I have a Spartan and runs minor loads just fine.

Yes, the smith should have all the parts for the work you want done. The work you listed can really be done by any smith. Sending it off would add unneeded cost to the project and you might wait months. Make sure you ask "How long and how much".
Shooting is expensive enough--Why are you going for a 40 open? Major difference in the cost of a 115 9MM and a 165 40. 40 threaded barrels are not easy to find. Big sticks in 40 are even harder to find.

Shooters Connection. They are forum dealer.

So why not hand out slots to the shooters based on activity instead of the club? The club is getting paid already, seems like the individual shooter, the people footing the bill, are the ones that are not seeing a reward for their participation.
The slots are not free....The price of admission is still the same.

Call them...even if web site says they are out...I did and received 1000+500 38 super comp.
Indeed call them...they will let you know when the next run is going to be.

I have a Springfield in 9mm and every now and then I get a light primer strike.
Is this a completely stock gun? or have you upgraded something/

The gun will move 180 degrees and exactly the same distance regardless of which way you turn. If you pick up the targets better over your left shoulder it should not cost time turning counterclockwise (for a right hander). You do risk drawing before crossing the 180 safety plane and you risk getting falsely DQed by someone who thinks you violated the plane..
Sorry, but it's much faster to turn into the gun. If you think about it all the un then has to do is pivot with your body to the inside. If you go the other way the gun has to travel in an arc. The only time I go the "wrong" way is the odd stage where the first array I want to shoot is over that way somewhere.
What? it's almost totally irrelevant how the gun travels. it only weighs a couple lbs. People turn into the gun because it's harder to see if you break the 180, lol.
I practice both directions and it takes me the exact same amount of time to turn, draw and get a shot off. those who have studied physics will say "duh".
For every rule there is an exception and may be you are the one. For "most" people, turning towards the gun is faster and safer.

You probably get serious discounts with most retailers in the business but LEE stuff is way cheaper for the average Joe going directly through LEE. I have always found Brownell's to be priceyCalled up Brownells a couple of days ago, a Lee 9mm full-length resizing die is now on its way to me Thanks for all the useful info, guys.
I have found deals on Amazon on Lee dies. Retailers dumping extra stock I would guess.

If anyone wants to put up a real site I'd be happy to help set it up and provide the hosting. My company does web hosting and email marketing so it's no problem at all for me to host the site. Just let me know.
may want to offer that to the A5 director, he should be around here somewhere
When I was Area 5 Director I had a webpage hosted by a fellow shooter who was local to me. Unfortunately the webpage changed hands a couple of times due to work and family constraints.
I never was able to have the webpage I wanted, but that is the problem when you are dealing with volunteers who have lives to live and other things to do.
I suspect Kyle is having the same problem with having someone relatively local to run the site.
Need to think outside the box (webpage). There are ways to compensate a webmaster....
All the local MDs who have a stake in the website could offer free match fees for keeping the website current.
BTW-Where is the current AD?

Once again...... If the local or state law enforcement agencies can't even decide on how the new high capacity magazine ban law will be interpreted so a decision can be made on how it will be enforced, how can we expect a USPSA club to do so? Every single Colorado USPSA club contacted their local sheriff to request guidance on how this law should or will be enforced and no definitive answers were ever given. Until the Colorado local or state law enforcement agencies can provide a definitive answer to how the law will be interpreted and enforced the local USPSA matches will continue to function as if the law does not exist.
Scenario.
The Date is 2/6/14
I live in CO.
I do not currently own any equipment.
I want to shoot open or limited
Can I go to the local gun store and buy a magazine greater then 15 rounds?
no, but you can borrow them, or obtain them in some other way or shoot some other division.
Ok, let me approach this from a different angle to see if it makes more sense for some people. In Colorado the new 16+ round magazine capacity ban applies to acquiring or purchasing new high capacity magazines after July 1st 2013, not limiting the use of high capacity magazines. There is nothing that states you can't USE or BORROW a high capacity magazine past the cut in date even if you or another person didn't "own" it before the July 1st 2013 date. Then there is the whole grandfathering rats nest. The new law basically states that if you owned 16+ round magazines before July 1st 2013 you are grandfathered into legally owning those high capacity magazines before the cut in date of the law. As we all know many magazines do NOT have manufacturing date stamps on them so proving that a magazine was purchased after the July 1st 2013 date is impossible. Obviously if a magazine does have a manufacturing date stamp that can be validated or if a totally new design of firearm/magazine was created after the July 1st 2013 date it will obviously apply to the restrictions defined by the law.
I also want to point out that given all of the loop holes and confusion around how this new law is written the Colorado local and state law enforcement agencies can't even define how this new law will be enforced. There have been ZERO accounts of it being enforced as most law enforcement agencies in Colorado don't want to even touch this law with a 10 foot pole.
If the local and state level law enforcement agencies can't even enforce this law properly, how on earth can you expect a volunteer driven USPSA club to properly enforce it? The answer to that, is that this new magazine capacity law will NOT be enforced at the USPSA club level.

I think your missing the ole saying "the big picture". Yes, everything you said is probably correct. However; USPSA has to be on the side of the law even if the new law has problems.
Correct. And the CO law does not say you can't use high-capacity magazines. It does not have a 'magazine capacity limit'. Sure, it says you can't buy any more high cap mags, and i understand that distinction is kind of subtle to some folks, but it's an entirely different animal from the laws in a couple other states that say you can't possess or use high-cap mags no matter what.
Agreed, BUT new shooters show up with Open/Lim guns and want to shoot Open/Lim and they have five 15 round mags. As the MD, what do you do? Run around and try to borrow mags for them?
You are going to have to limit O and L to 15 rounds if you want a USPSA sanctioned match. It stinks, but it is what it is. USPSA as an organization has to support the laws.

I strongly disagree with your reasoning. 3.3.1 could not be much clearer.
Colorado has a mag restriction. Matches there must adhere to the law.
"In states where competitors are restricted by law to maximum magazine capacity, that maximum capacity will be the maximum allowed for all competitors in the contest."
If a shooter shows up and wants to compete legally and he only has newly aquired 15 round mags then the match should respect that and abide by the laws and the RULES.
The way I read it... this applies to NJ, NY.. others.. but not Colorado or California (as examples).. since the law does not restrict the use of magazines to 15, it just stops people from buying magazines greater than that
but that's just my 1.5 cents worth
If you don't apply the rule to Colorado...are you not encourging folks to break the law and acquire hi-cap mags!

Local MDs can do what they want, BUT how do you keep it fair if a new shooter shows up and only has 15 round mags. I understand there is a grandfather clause for owning hicap mags, but USPSA is pretty clear in the rules.
I agree with my good friend the "Sarge".

GRAMS 9mm followers (they come with springs), spacers, and you should be good to go. OAL 1.160 to 1.165 with spacers. All I use is 115 JHP and they run 100%. If the JHP or 121 IFP hang once in awhile on the feed ramp--just shorten the OAL a touch until they run.

The Lee U die is the same as the EGW U.
SDB is less expensive, but you are locked into Dillon's dies. I have never had good results with 100% Dillon dies. I have 100K on a 650 (90% open) and Lee are the only dies for me. I can't rememeber that last time I case gauged an open round. OAL is always in specs and Lee U die spits out nice little coke bottle shaped rounds.
-
Your OAL is also affected by the mags. Make sure your rounds do not touch the front of the mags. 1.155 is about the max.
-
The Lee U or EGW U will give you 100% confidence in your rounds. An added benefit is the increase in bicep muscle from cramming the cases in the dies. As Sarge said, Case Lube is a must.
Either one really does work. I have not chamber check'd a 9 Major round in years.

Drilling out the holes on the thumbrest right? That makes this rest a really inexpensive solution. Thanks for the information.
