    It Doesn't Get More Tactical Than This

    in The Gallery

    Posted

    Didnt know you leave the gun on the ground like that in IPSC.

    Here is the rule:

    10.5.3. If at any time during the course of fire, a competitor drops his firearm or causes it to fall,

    loaded or not. Note that a competitor who, for any reason during a course of fire, safely and

    intentionally places the firearm on the ground or other stable object will not be disqualified

    provided:

    10.5.3.1. The competitor maintains constant physical contact with the firearm, until it is

    placed firmly and securely on the ground or another stable object, and

    10.5.3.2. The competitor remains within 1 meter of the firearm at all times (except where the

    firearm is placed at a greater distance, under the supervision of a Range Official, in

    order to comply with a start position), and

    10.5.3.3. The provisions of Rule 10.5.2 do not occur, and

    10.5.3.4. The handgun is in the ready condition as specified in Section 8.1, or

    10.5.3.5. A self-loading pistol has the magazine removed and the slide locked open, or

    10.5.3.6. A revolver has the cylinder open and empty.

    10.5.2. Allowing the muzzle of a firearm to point uprange, or past the default, or specific safe angles

    of fire during a course of fire, (limited exceptions: see Rules 5.2.7.3 and 10.5.6).

    PACT MK4 XP timer: User Manual ?

    in Gear & Accessories

    Posted

    Hi there,

    I just bought a PACT MK4 XP timer from the classified. (BTW, smooth ttansaction with fayetteflash).

    Does anybody have a user manual for it ? It's quite different from the one I had and lost... No more on/off switch for instance...

    Simple pictures or a pdf file would be greatly appreciated...

    Thanks :)

    Fluting on 38 Supercomp Chamber

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    How about the cool factor ? :wub:

    I just thought I would like it, so I asked my gunsmith to do the flutes.

    It reminded me of a revolver cylinder.

    I had never seen it before, so not only would it look good, but also be unique.

    And the result draws a lot of attention at matches :surprise:

    As for the chamber strengh, the flutes are not very deep.

    There is still much more material there than around a .40 or .45 chamber.

    The gun has over 15000 rounds through this modified chamber (PF 170+) and no problem so far.

    How about external fluting ? cosmetics, cosmetics...

    Jerome,

    WHO IS THE CUSTOM PISTOLSMITH THAT DIDC THE FLUTING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE AND TIME.

    It was done about 8 years ago by a French gentleman, who I think is not taking any pistol business anymore.

    INFO: Dillon RF 100 Primer Filler

    in General Reloading

    Posted

    When I got my RF100 about 18 months ago, it was working "ok" with a rate of 1-3/100 upside-down primers. It took over 2 minutes to get all the 100 primers into the tube.

    A month later, the blue timer push-button stopped working.

    Then I got a then-new Dillon Rheostat. It must have been a prototype or a 110 volts unit (I live in a 220V country), but it barely started the machine, even at max setting... I got it free of charge locally, but rapidly sent it back.

    Then I started trying to adjust and tune the RFF100, making things much worse. I looks to me that I tried all what is possible, but I might not be creative or clever enough.

    Today, when I try to use it again, I have a rate of 20-30 upside-down primers. So I'm back at the pick-up tubes. And it still takes forever to get all the primers in the tube (sometimes 1 or 2 primers never want to go in...)

    This is the first Dillon product that I'm disappointed with (and I do have a LOT of them...).

    I know I shouldn't have tried to tinckle with it, but the initial failure rate was very deceptive. And all other Dillon products have been easy to adjust.

    Should I order a new Rheostat? Should I throw the unit away? (I can not sell it with that kind of failure rate).

    I know many people who are satisfied with their unit, and accept a small upside-down primers rate. But what's the point buying a RF100 to gain time, and then have to check (or box) all your ammo and pull the bullets off the upside-down rounds ? In my case, the whole process is faster with the primer pick-up tubes.

    (For the record, I load CCI and Fiocchi small primers, use the machine as instructed in the user manual, on a rock-solid bench)

    Hornady One Shot Case Lube in Pump Spray Bottle

    in General Reloading

    Posted

    Brian,

    I've been using the classic aerosol version for years, and I just love it. I use it not only on the brass, but also on many other things (key locks, etc...)

    Then I tried the new pump version.

    It's nowhere near as good as the old one!

    It's not as slick at all.

    It doesn't dry as fast (and almost doesn't dry at all, leaving a sticky pellicule on the brass that you must remove afterwards).

    I'll never buy it again.

    If I were living in the US, I could send you my 3 units for free. But I would not because I like you...

    Don't buy it.

    Hornady should never have named the pump the same as the aerosol.

    I guess you can tell I hate the new version as much as I love the classic one...

    XL650 Tips and Tricks

    This will fix the problem of shell's running into the bottom the the dies - espically on station #1...

    Jim

    I happened to buy some of them earlier this year.

    Below is a copy of the PM I sent to Fastshooter03 (Nick) who is the manufacturer.

    You can tell I'm happy with the product that work just as advertised.

    Nick told me before I bought them that they might need some filing on the flange to fit them in the press, so there was no surprise either.

    I recommend this product, as it solved a recurrent problem with my XL650, and I'm not affiliated in any way with the people making or selling it.

    :)

    Copy of the PM to the manufacturer:

    Hi Nick,

    I was finally able to use the tool heads last week.

    They work great.

    No more problem with 38 Super cases not aligning in station 1.

    At first, the tool heads would not fit in the press slots. So I filed them down a little, in order to get a tight fit.

    Now they don't move at all, and the cases in station 1 all go straight into the sizing/decap die everytime, which was not the case with original tool heads.

    I'm very satisfied, thank you.

    The low speed on the motor is 1 1/2- 2 RPM, and the high speed is 3-4 RPM. Low works fine for handgun, high usually works but can sometimes trap a case between the rotating feed disc and the opening in the bowl.

    Hi Gary,

    On the 4 case feeders that I know of, all in 220V, there seems to be no difference at all between high and low speed settings...

    And yes, I get the (more than) occasional traped case between the rotating feed disc and the opening in the bowl.

    I used to have one in 110V, with an adapter, that showed a huge difference in speed though. Maybe something for your team to research?
