Just got home from the match. Had a great time. The stages were fun and challenging. The staff was tremendous. Tim Egan, Carrie Homburg, Craig Outzen and all the other helpers did a great job getting the match put together. Thanks for all your work guys. Randy Stemple

Dillon super swage.

Funny thing is that the shots used were from a bunch of different Keanu movies. The guy has an amazing ability to act.

Shoot what you got. If you already have a Colt in 1911, shoot it for a while. People at USPSA matches will give you all the pointers you can take if you ask. Make sure if you are running a full size that you get full size mags. I recently shot a match where a shooter had just purchased brand new Wilson mags for his Kimber full size. The guy at the gun store said they were for his gun. His gun would not cycle the rounds out of his mag. When he pulled the mag out, it was a 7 round wilson mag for a commander length frame. For the full size frame, get the Wilson 47d. Randy

Taxes? We dont have no stinking taxes! At least no sales/use taxes in Montana. Randy

For me it was the 35. Load for major and shoot limited with a couple of mag extensions and some sights. Then I load some minor for it and shoot production as well. Great all around glock out of the box. Randy

Sorry to hear about your job loss. Best wishes to finding a better job quick. Randy

My eight year old daughter, but you cannot have her. Unfortunately you end up with a ton of 22 shells since those are what her guns shoot so she is really drawn to them. Randy

I have hunted a little bit in that Rocky Mountain area. It is a pretty long trip for me, so I only do it one hunting season a year. I have never needed more than my Pre War Win M70 in 30-06, but the OP is asking about a custom gun. My vote would go to a Jense Precision built light weight hunter(www.jenseprecision.com). The rifles are tack drivers, super light, and drop dead gorgeous. If you do not like recoil, run a break on it which most of the Jense guns do. Probably get in just under the $3000. Drop $1500-2000 on a scope and you are good to go. My .02 Randy

Way to go! Keep up the good work! Master in no time! Randy

You can only help the ones that WANT help. You seem to be in tune with being able to tell which ones do and which ones do not want the help. Just concentrate your time on the ones that do. Randy

I had 90% blockage on my right nostril, and 75% on my left. Had surgery to straighten the septum, and ream out the nostrils. They ended up having to remove a bunch of bone from the base of the nose(above upper lip)with a chisel and hammer. When I came to I felt like I had been in a fight. Pain was not bad at all. Pulling out the packs was supposed to be the worst, but it just felt like a lot of pressure. I can definately breathe alot better now. Randy.

I enjoyed the show, and will watch more episodes as time permits. I was excited to see Mike on the show as well as JJ and Blake. I am not familiar with brad, but looks like he is a USPSA grand master as well. Throw in Caleb and a few of the other contestants, and practical pistol shooting is pretty well represented on the show. Hated to see Mike go. Definately should have been he and his spotter in the shoot off. It was a team challenge, and he and his teammate failed together.

The large primers will not consistently center on top of the small punch cup, and you will really be wasting alot of time and components. Just get another 650 and leave one set up for large primers and one set up for small. Randy

Is this seriously a major stumbling block to getting more shooters into our sport? I believe not. Football is a sport, but I do not think changing the shape of the ball is going to get you more football players. Basketball is a sport, but changing the shape of the backboard is not going to get you any more basketball players. What is the difference between Football, Basketball, Soccer, etc and Practical Shooting? I am never going to use a soccerball, football, basketball etc to defend myself should the need arise! I have heard many times how USPSA is a sport and should not be considered to represent real world at all. I guess I should assume that I am not really better prepared to use a weapon in self defense, should the need arise, as a result of shooting USPSA. There is a difference between not wanting to appear as commandos, and bending over backwords to show that the sport is PC. I think this discussion is a waste of time. Changing the target to be more mainstream seems to be way less productive, than say getting out into the community and hosting youth/women only/family fun days to introduce the sport to new shooters. Just my .02 Randy

My current load is 80.1 grains of H1000 with the 210vlds. I do not have the oal on my right now, but I am running them pretty long. This is a compressed load. I am running it in my Armalite AR-30 bolt gun at 3167fps. Randy

The spring in the decapping pin is to keep you from bending or breaking your pin if the primer is stuck. It does not keep the primer anvil from sticking to the pin. I have seen the primers stick to the decapping pin, mostly on once fired speer nickel cases. Randy

Is the uplula the one that can be used to empty a sti/sv mag as well? I was in a class one time and some guys were talking about a loader that you could hold on a full mag, and the rounds would empty right into your ammo can if you held it right. Thanks Randy

If it came from the internet, it MUST be true! Randy

Forster Coax press for long range precision relaoding would be my recommendation. Randy

I would not use Post office. Use UPS with ormd label. Not hazmat. Randy

I am sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like she is in a better place now. Take care of yourself

It should read that the jetfunnel requires the use of the 16 round mag. The jetfunnel is HK's factory magwel. The regular 13 round mags will not seat in the gun with the jetfunnel on. The 16 rounders will just stick out a little without the jetfunnel. Randy

Welcome to the forums. Lots of shooters from Montana on here. Get that press running. Randy

Real likeable guy, and he is always pushing his sport forward! One of a kind athlete! Randy
