I dont disagree with you at all here, but what is the value add to making this an entirely new division?

I'm a little late to the party here but I just cannot see the justification for this being its own division. The hit factors are going to be the exact same as CO. What is the point of making an entirely new division if its performance is going to be indistinguishable from an already established one?

The sizing die isn't supposed to flare the case at all, that would be the job of the powder funnel. I may be misunderstanding your post but I think you have your die functions confused

GET HIM!

Prop up iPhone Take slow motion video If gun dips, lighter spring Repeat until no dip

480.3 dollars divided by 5000 primers will give you the dollars per primer. multiply by 100 to get cents per primer. $480 / 5000 = $.096 $.096 * 100 = 9.6 cents per primer So no, about 10 cents each not 9 cents each- if you're going to round that drastically lol

I am either bad at math or thats 9.6 cents each..

Our club will do a bulk order type deal every once and a while, they'll pick a design pattern and you can customize it with logos and names etc the way you like. Cost us 70 dollars from zero sports. Talk with your MD and see if they've done anything like that in the past or if they'd be willing to try it out.

Perfect thank you.

I need to replace the set screws on my TSO's rear sight, they're stripped. I cant seem to find this specific part anywhere, does anyone now the thread and pitch for these screws? Thanks in advance.

I get in stock notifications for primers several times a day now on the discord server. Price has gone from 11-12 cents per shipped down to <9 and continuing to drop. Things are most definitely getting better

I mean this question is already answered in limited, all you're doing is adding a dot. You can choose to shoot 9mm for capacity or you can shoot major. Major is far and away the better choice over the extra 3 or so rounds. Now I dont see all the CO shooters being happy about suddenly dropping money on .40 guns in this hypothetical scenario but if you wanted to be competitive you would have to. The reason the choice is significant in SS is because it's a low cap division and those extra few rounds can make a huge difference when planning out reloads etc.

I've brought 3 new shooters into this sport in the past year. All of them picked CO, but only one of them was a dot shooter prior to starting. The other 2 put dots on their guns because CO was the only division they felt like they could shoot with their 9mm. New USPSA shooters dont understand the concept of low cap prod because they weren't around when it was popular and it just sounds dumb to them- those are the shooters that chose CO by default because they "have to" in their minds. They both went and bought 200 dollar dots to compete in CO because they didn't have another option. Obviously this is just anecdotal but it happens. I bring lots of new shooters to the range to teach them about guns- I'm known as the competition shooting gun among my classmates so when people interested in getting a gun, I'm the one they normally end up talking to. Most of these people are clueless about the idea of putting a dot on their gun. People in the enthusiast set tend to think that dots are the default but in my experience that simply isn't the case.

That's my point. I think a lot of people attribute CO's popularity to it being a superior division, when in reality a good number of people are only shooting it because they feel like they have to.

I believe it has a lot to do with the rules. CO is the only high capacity division where you can be competitive with minor. People want to shoot cheap ammo. People want to load their mags all the way up. I dont think it really has anything to do with minutia of the gun, more so to do with the broader rule set. If there was an iron sight division that allowed high cap minor to be competitive, I think a lot of people would be shooting it. More would be shooting CO because of the popularity of the dot of course, but it would be popular none the less.

I do believe that a division can reach a critical mass where people begin shooting it not because they want to, but because it's the only place where they feel they have competition. I believe having the majority of people shooting one division takes away from the diversity of equipment and guns that can be run and makes the sport less fun overall. I dont think there is any reason to make the most popular division even more popular. People clearly enjoy it as it is, stop sucking away competitors from other divisions for the sake of it.

I will take a look thank you!

Shell plate is as tight as possible while still able to index if that is what you are referring to. Summers enterprises 180 gn .40. This bullet has a lube groove which may be contributory. Not having this issue on different manufacturers with the same diameter and no lube groove

Returning with an update, this issue is caused by crooked bullet seating and the case being scuffed by the crimp die where the bullet is slightly bulged to one side. This happens a lot with the specific bullet manufacture I recently switched to, cannot get these bullets to seat straight. Having to switch to another manufacturer to avoid this, been having feeding issues like never before.

Great, thank you! Will drop a line back in here once I do some further testing

I worry there may be an issue with such a large jump to the lands, would be almost .06" which seems like quite a lot. Really just trying to verify if I can load this new round so short given it's max OAL

Just ordered a sample pack and need some help deciding on an OAL to run. My trusted OAL in my TSO is 1.130. These brass monkey rounds are passing the plunk test all the way out to 1.188. I understand that the TSO will have feeding/ ejection issues past around 1.170 and I've seen that the TS mags work with a max around 1.135-1.140. My question is if I load down to the 1.14-1.15 range, will my jump to lands distance be too far? Anyone running this bullet in their TSO that can share their OAL? Thanks!
