  1. I got mine because I have always liked shotguns. I picked up a shockwave and a Tac 14 wood just because they were interesting.  I didn't figure I would use them for anything other than fun. I have had a blast shooting them and after shooting them you can get more proficient with them enough to use them for something other than fun. I got an adaptor and put a brace on my Tac 14 and that really made it more useable, going to leave that on for a while.

    I played a little with my .308 casefeed adapter and placed a piece of tape covering the top 1/2 inch of the slot in the adapter. It will now reliably feed 6BR cases.

     

     

     

    I have done that also for different cases. I found a rubber "O" ring of the right diameter works well also since you can slide it up and down depending on your case length.  When I started loading 7.62x39/6 PPC I already had the correct adapter because I was loading .357 MAX so I just used that.

  3. I load 7,62x39 and 6 PPC on both my 650 and 550.  For the 650 my case feed adaptor is a modified orange one that I use for 357 MAX and the 7.62x39/6 PPC. For the powder funnel it would be the same as I use in 6 PPC.  Not sure if there is a difference between a larger rifle caliber like 243 Win but I am guessing since the PPC/BR cases are shorter they may make a longer funnel for the shorter cases.  

  4. I have been running the FART with the supplied pins for over a year now and have never had pins stuck like that?  It was a concern of mine at first but when I saw I didn't have that issues I don't even worry about it any more.  

  5. I was looking to cut done some .38 SPL down to Mid length (basically .38 Super length) for my 627 and I initially was planning on using RP because I had lots of it and it fits decent in the clips I had.  Well I found out quickly that when cut down, RP had too much internal taper near the bottom of the case and would bulge with the 160 bullets I planned on using. I dug around and found I had a batch of Federal cases that worked the same in the clips and they had less internal taper so when they were cut down the 160 gr. bullets seated fine.    

  6. I was sorry to hear of his passing.  In years past I was fortunate to run into Ron at different times and squad with him at matches, the last being at the High Desert Classic in ALBQ years ago.  I also spent a decent amount of time sitting around bullshi**ing in the hotel at one of the Vegas Nationals waiting for scores. Quite an interesting fellow who really was serious about shooting and being the best he could at it.

    I noticed at the Western State Revolver shoot there were 5 guys shooting open minor.  I wonder if this a test to see if there is any interest...

     

    They said at the awards since it was a level 1 match anyway they decided this year to make it an "Outlaw"  match to see if they could get some more participation by opening it up to the ICORE guys and others.   

  8. I prefer them without supports if I am using it for more than one gun because then slide/BBL length doesn't matter. A Ghost/DAA holster without a muzzle support can support 5" &  6" limited guns and open guns of different lengths without any adjustment needed.   I use a trigger guard type holster for shooting revolver and I can use my 6" 929 or my 5" 627 interchangeably without messing around with adjusting a barrel support.

    Label maker always worked fine for me on mags.  Vertical on the spine stayed in place the whole time I was shooting Open (first go around).

     

    That is what I have been using for years . The Brother brand P-Touch label maker uses a very thin film label that sticks well and stays put even with cleaning. I put them on the spine of my STI mags and in the side depression on my SV mags. They have lasted years and have never caused a problem.

  10. Yep,  HK  MP5.  The FBI used/uses them and I used to get some fired brass from them training out at our local range. I had some that had already split on the first firing but if they are not then clean them and load them. I had a few develop splits along the flute lines but it was free brass to me.

    If you want to see something odd for a primer strike, find someone shooting a Beretta 92 or similar. Even normal factory loads look like over pressure in those because of the firing pin hole in the breech face. These were fired from a 92.

    That is actually pretty standard for a Beretta. The .40 version of the Beretta looks like that also. I think it is just the way they make the slides?  When the Border Patrol was still using the Berettas I would find all kinds of .40 bras that looked exactly like this. Funny,  the second Gen S&W autos also had a distinctive fired primer look back when they were in use.
