Certainly not, load in magazine is determined by caliber, not PF. Not making Major PF is no reason to load 10 in magazine.

It is the shooter's responsibility to make sure his ammo passes the test. i think USPSA is not in the business of rewarding shooters who fail the chrono test by allowing them to increase their magazine load unless they change and shoot a pistol of a lower caliber(9mm) but their scores will be recorded as Minor.

Using PF as a basis will surely be more than a handful in Level I matches where no chronos are done.

It scares me to think that our sport is full of gamers and cheats? just my 2 cents

A ) Appendix C2-39 says that if I declare major but go minor, I am minor for the whole match.

B ) Appendix D5-9 says that I can load to 10 for single stack minor.

What rule supports A but excludes B?

Far from claiming of having more knowledge than our respected DNROI, i was just voicing my 2 cents. USPSA rules were almost lifted verbatim from the IPSC rulebook.

Not so sure that anybody has the monopoly of the CORRECT interpretation of all the rules. The original framers of the rules might have a different intention that what we are discussing right now.

Pretty much what i'm trying to say.... The Supreme Court Chief Justice is just but one vote of the whole Supreme Court.
