I think you're overthinking the whole issue. Clip half a coil from the current spring under the ball and carry on.

I've heard of people using 1" diameter vinyl tubing

I use this one from Inline Fabrication. Mounted to my casefeeder with a single self-tapping screw. Holds 12 tubes. Either end is held in the slots. I put cotter pins down for full & pins up for empty. $9 http://inlinefabrication.com/collections/press-accessories/products/primer-tube-rack

Crown Royal purple bags on fleabay 5 for $8 http://www.ebay.com/bhp/crown-royal-bags I have one over my trimmer

It's simple really - a 3GN DQ is like being 'mostly dead' in 'The Princess Bride'

Buy ammo and practice.

Will CONFIRMED Staff be notified before registration goes live tomorrow? Edit. The confirmed staff has been notified - some of us (me) are just dumb.

Go back to 'General Reloading' then 'Reloading FAQS'..........there are subforums for different machines. But yes, it would be nicer if the Dillon Machine subforums were under the Dillon Precision heading.

SP01 Shadow Custom #91030. Everything that needs to be done is done.

I'm for getting rid of L10 for the same reason so many are against CO. It's dumb We don't need it It waters down the sport Nobody shoots it We already have a division for that (Go shoot Limited) Everyone should shoot a SS 45acp the way (insert your favorite old dead guy) intended it to be. blah, blah, blah Silly, isn't it?

I was talking to a friend at the range today & I mentioned my interest in the TS in 9mm. I would use this gun for Tues Night Steel and USPSA Lim Div scoring minor. He has the TS in both 9 and 40, and was very disappointed in feeding issues with the 9mm. He has tried various spring combinations, bullet profiles, grams followers/springs with no luck. He believes part of the issue may be the original design of the gun was 40S&W and was adapted to 9mm. The design of the mag just doesn't allow for reliable feeding. Is anyone else having issues with their TS 9mm not feeding reliably? If not, what bullet profile/spring combination/etc works for you? Thx.

If you do a search on 550 casefeeder threads you will find solutions to locking back the plunger for adjustments, and how to load 223 with a casefeeder.

There isn't a lot of disgust anymore. Lately it's been the same one or two people that continue to pour poison on any CO thread.

1. From Richard's 'Division Change Primer' I don't believe the XRail/XRail Compact qualify as a tube magazine - although I could be wrong. 2. Otherwise....starting the stage with as many rounds as you can fit.... I'm sure he'll be here soon to clarify.

Another option is a 550 with a casefeeder. Output is increased to ALMOST 650 numbers, and with reloading so many different calibers, the cost of conversions will be a lot cheaper.

Has anyone ignited powder by vacuuming up small quantities of spilled powder from a shellplate? I think it's one of those myths that keeps going round in circles on the interwebs. Eventually someone will reply "better safe than sorry"

Great match today. Loved all the shotgun practice.

I zero at 100yds. My scope has a BDC reticle.

For us cheap bastards that mostly shoot club matches - the price. It's more $$$ than my Stag 3G.

And this is why I think having a box for Production is just plain stupid. The gun is on the Prod Div Approved list. A slight variation in gun manufacturers tolerances should not bump a Prod gun into Open.

People wanted to shoot guns that were already on the Production list, whether imported or not. Maybe you missed all the advertising: CZ-USA PRODUCTION NATIONALS August 4-9, 2015 / PASA Park, Barry, Illinois According to Phil, the plastic gun makers threatened to withdraw support from USPSA because they said their products would not be competitive. The manufacturers think it's the arrow, not the Indian - Phil sold out to strengthen his own ties. From Phil's FB post of July 27 I didn't miss anything, the manufacturers stated that they have a concern about a "perception" that their guns weren't being competitive (Same word Phil used) . I guess y'all missed that one word, huh? The manufacturers stated that there is a "perception", they didn't say they believed their guns couldn't compete. A perception would be brought about by the shooters and waaaayyyy too many shooters believe it's the bow & arrow. I did read the FB posts. I also know about the "CZ Production Nationals". My question is, where have they been? Answer; in the background while the American based manufacturers where supporting us for many years. I'm stating that CZ alone isn't going to take up the slack left by all those manufacturers pulling out. Also, the statement is subterfuge. I read this entire thread prior to posting and I didn't read where a single person was upset about not being able to shoot their Beretta or their Taurus or their Ruger etc. etc.. Everyone complaining about weight limits that I see on here, FB and other forums are CZ shooters. I'm saying "Let our Pres. try to reestablish relations with these important supporters" and I'm say that anyone who would want to vote the Pres. out because his efforts to salvage those relations don't line up with them being able to shoot their favorite gun in one out of seven divisions or because they believe he "sold out the members in order to strengthen his own ties" doesn't understand how diplomacy works and should rethink things from outside their own bubble. Those "ties" are what he is using to help the members keep important sponsorship's. 'Perception' is their (manufacturers) understanding of something based on input. Input being - market trends, social media posts, etc., the manufacturers understand that their products are not competitive. Go back and read the initial proposal made to USPSA by Hyland last year. Everyone since that has wanted the Prod Div gun list. According to a USPSA statement, CZ has been been supporting the sport for many years, and this year stepped up to be the major match sponsor. No one is voting Phil out. He is not running for the position again. His choice.

Will you be here?

yeah but it seems to impact the firing pin harder using a thumb roll vs. pinch. I just assumed folks doing the thumb block were dropping to half cock. That's what I do with my 75 Compact I carry, anyway. Agreed I feel much safer with the pinch I will admit, I have used the pinch method, right up until I DQ'd at the 'Make Ready' command at a local match. The hammer slipped out from between my finger & thumb. That is why we point the gun downrange. I had only had the gun for about 2 months. My previous Prod Div gun (H&K USP) has a decocker. That was over a year and half ago. I use only the thumb-roll method now. Being in the AZ heat it may have been a combination of perspiration, sunscreen and brain fart. Embarrassing.

It doesn't 'cost' anything to send a team. The costs involved with shooting the match are entry fees, airfare, hotel, meals, and shirts (if you all want to dress the same). The question is how much of these expenses will (should) USPSA cover, and for how many competitors. Going to France to shoot the match will probably amount to approx $3000 per person. The US will get 60 slots ($180K) Should USPSA (you and I) pay for any or all of this? Do we pay for the elite few that may medal, and tell everyone else 'good luck'? Of the 20K+ USPSA members, how many really care about the World Shoot?
