It has nothing to do with PF. It has to do (probably) with equipment. Non bushing gun, illegal placement of equipment or illegal holster (drop offset comes to mind). The same things that get you bumped to open at any match.

Carry 6 on the belt. Only once, when i was a brand new shooter, did I need all 6 (bad stage management on my part). Its been years since I went to number 5 since.

Even reload practice is allowed by that sentence. After all isn't reload practice part of your dry fire routine?

One per shot is the procedural, no need to add another Procedural for failure to follow the stage . 10 shots from the incorrect mag, 10 procedurals. The RO should not have started the shooter until he complied with the stage description and removed the mag from his belt. Doug Hey Doug, I don't see how the shooter didn't comply with the stage description and the RO "not starting him". He can have anything on his person including mags at any time. As long as they are properly placed (hello bump to open) and not used (complying with WSB), who cares. It's his risk. As to the penalties, a well written WSB would remove this problem. Having said the above, my opinion is 1 per shot, but because the WSB doesnt say, and the rulebook is ambiguous... hello RM/MD arb committee.

I love my simonich gunner grips. They are as very aggressive, light (always a concern with SS guns) and sturdy enough to use to mount the techwell magwell.

Youngeyes, Awesome, thanks for the guidance. Will try this evening.

Apparently my "search fu" is very weak. I am getting brass hanging up at the Casefeed arm Bushing on my 650. The brass is staying in/hanging up in the bushing itself and not dropping down. I have tried cleaning the bushing and then putting lube in it with not much result. Any advice?

As a dedicated Federal primer guy, fold the tabs out of the way and use this: http://www.midwayusa.com/Product/466211/rcbs-primer-turning-tray It is bigger than the Fed box.

Spartan, (comes with FO sights, and adjustable rear). Add a Techwell and 8 Tripp mags. Under a grand or right at a grand.

Why in the world would you want to do this? Wait, we have to reduce rounds so that the current shortages are not affecting everyone... When did we become the handholding namby pamby sport? Keeping round counts up does the following: Separates the good matches from the not so good (by attendance). If your match attendance drops off, maybe its time to look at what is going on very carefully. The smart folks shop with their feet. Just because you failed to plan (does anyone not remember 2008?), doesnt make it everyone's problem. It's about choices we make in life. Now for the economics... You still pay for the gas, etc. to get to said match, and you still pay the full match fee. After all you dont see the clubs that are proposing these reduced round count matches, offering to reduce match fees or the home club accepting reduced fees to rent the range. So what is the cost savings? If your going to a match to stand around for 8 hours and shoot for (at most) 3 minutes and get a 40-50% reduction in rounds fired. Rest assured, the smart folks will pass on that match.

I would disagree that you have too much weight on your right foot, you are leaning too far to the left... Additionally, you should be wearing shorts so that you are more aerodynamic. The wife says you look bloated, is it THAT time...

here is a thread for you that has the info you seek. Also, Quantico has a match (second sunday). http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=148357&hl=

The wife will be in Midland in April and would like to shoot a match out that way. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The SC bag is a great bag. Absolutely the best made bag out there especially at that price point. However, you will fill it and determine that half to two thirds of what you have is just weight to lug around. My wife and I shoot with one of the i-Shot shotgunner bag's. Two different calibers, 2 sets of mags, small tool kit and all the accessories (drinks and snacks) that both of us need. It is small and forces you to not carry your tool bench. The second bag is in the car for guns.

Rick Roll...... NOT

Suggest you store primers like you store loaded ammo, inside a metal container (safe, ammo can, old refrigerator, etc.). Powder should be store in a 1" thick wood constructed magazine that will ventilate in a fire. The storage recommendation is based on the following: Powder storage http://www.saami.org/specifications_and_information/publications/download/SAAMI_ITEM_200-Smokeless_Powder.pdf Primers and loaded ammo: The video is long and makes you want to cry watching all that ammo burn, but it is put out by the NSSF in conjunction with SAAMI.

Get them in the right location, and use zip-ties to hold them in place. Your belt is always set up after that.

My wife works in the automation industry, her company make machines for the food and pharmacutical industries involving precision measuring and filling for production lines. She is also a shooter and reloader (though not as much of the latter as I would like). After discussing this, we came up with a quasi way that you can make a powder system that will dispense precise amounts of ALL of the powder types out there on an assembly line type basis. The problem is, you wont like the price even on an economy of scale.

add rubbing alcohol.

The only other issue that you will have to deal with is brass. Of the minor caliber's, I would rate 38 sup (be it sup, SC or TJ) as one of the worst for the cost/availability of brass. If the gun is 600 bucks, you will spend the savings over a new 9mm with less than 5k pieces of brass. Thats the logical side, you want the gun, get it!

Thanks Guys!

Hey guys looking at taking a lim gun and adding a c-more and using it in open. Not making any real serious mods just want to have some fun. Does anybody make a 170 mag? I know its kind of an odd thing, but what the hey.

We use these. http://www.locknlockplace.com/food-containers/plastic-series-airtight/classic.html Depending on caliber and size, we have ones that hold 100-45 up to 350-45. 9mm is about 40-50% more in the same box. They work great! If you want more info on the sizes we use, PM me. They stack nice in the safe, there is enough room for the 3 x 5 load card and they are fairly indestructible. Of course I cheat, lol. I load into 50 cal boxes and my wife case gauges while doing whatever.

In honor of the (now over) 20 years that we have been married, we are having a couple of pistols built. Here are the pictures of the slide cuts with an overlay of the engraving that my bride designed. Can't wait to have these babies done and get them shooting.

We are having a couple of 1911's engraved by this gentleman. http://jtcengraving.com/meetjt.htm We havent gotten them back yet, but he has been a real pleasure to work with.
