tripp is down because of the fire, but i went to wilson combat and they had them in stock. i ordered them thursday and they were sitting on my porch on friday.
I run the Wilson ETM's in mine. I love my Trojan. A buddy I work with bought his the same time I bought mine. He had less than 1000 rounds and recently traded it for a Colt 1911. They gave him $500 for his trade
If I had known he was going to do that I would have bought it from him in a heartbeat! -
I've checked Powdervalley, Grafs, Natchez and no one seems to have it in stock. Any other sources?

I just got the Env last week on sale at Verizon and love it.

Well, I shot my first classifer in IDPA. I have been shooting IDPA and USPSA events for a little over a year. I just got my Glock before Christmas 07. Anyway I got a time of 140.56 in SSP. I know I could have done better but I am stilled pleased I bypassed Sharpshooter. Just thought some of you would be interested as it was just December of 2006 that I was asking everyone on this forum for advice about if I should even give this a chance. I have joined USPSA and should be classified with them soon as well I would think. That sport seems a little tougher but I am trying to not pay too close of attention to my times at this stage and just hit A's with a little more speed then in the past. Thanks everyone for your help.
Steve
Congrats!
However, if I read your post correctly, you bypassed Marksmen and made Sharpshooter.
The order being NV - MM - SS - EX - MA

I've never seen it but the problem might lie with Excel. Have you tried reinstalling Excel?

MidwayUSA has a nice BIG bag for about $40. I use one and love it.

It's not on your end, its on their side. It appears the webserver can't find the file "php_util.php"

A primer or other item stuck in the chute, look at the gadget that flips up and down to catch and drop the spent primers, the seams on the side sometimes catch and wedge a spent primer that flips the new primer.
I also had a problem with the chute that catches the spent primers. Sometime last night it got stuck closed to where it was not catching the primers when they fell. I didn't notice until I happened to see a case that looked a little full. I stopped the press and dumped the charge into the pan to weigh it and thre was a spent primer mixed in with the charge! I'm glad I caught it, I don't know what kind of problems that could have caused had i fired that round. I had only done about 20 to 25 rounds at that point and I weighed them all against a known good round for consistency. I feel certain I caught the only one that happened to bounce into a case on station 2.

bought mine today at lunch and still have not cracked the seal
I resisted the urge to go out today and buy it today but I'll probably breakdown and pick it up tomorrow on lunch. Looking forward to rounding out the storyline in single player; really looking forward to the multi-player now that we've been blessed with broadband. -
The link you posted requires a password...here is a link that does not.

Actually you calculate power factor by dividing 165000 / bullet weight for major and 125000 / bullet weight for minor. This will give you the speed you need with the weight bullet you are shooting.
As an example 165000/230=717
125000/158=791
It's always best to add a little to your speed to guarantee you make the factor you want.
Are everyones loads tested at a match to determine major or minor? Sorry for the dumb questions but I have never been to a match.

Thanks!
-
Not trying to thread highjack, but since it was mentioned in this post and I am a newbie could someone explain the term "make major"?
-
Yes, you can use the Lee set, except for the expanding die. You'll use the Dillon die with the powder measure atttached.
Good luck,
Keith
Thanks for the response!
The die you mention would come with the 550b in whatever caliber I ordered and not as part of the Dilloin die package, correct?
-
Can this Lee 4 die set be used in a 550b? I don't currently own a 550b, still on a Lee single stage but a 550 is in my future plans and I am hoping these will work. Sorry for the newbie questions, I don't know anyone who has a Dillion and have never been around one to see exactly how they are set up and operate.
If I had known he was going to do that I would have bought it from him in a heartbeat!

Still irks me that he let it go like that without telling me. It never did show up in the shops inventory. I was curious to see what kind of price they were going to put on it, but my guess is someone there saved it for themselves.
