matteekay Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi folks, I'm Matt from Colorado. I've been shooting about two years now and competing for a touch over six months (USPSA, ICORE, and bowling pin matches). I'm terrible, but going slow, learning and having fun. Despite having smaller hands I only really shoot revolvers. I think my brain might be broken? My mains are a S&W 10-7 (full PPC Aristocrat setup, action job, milled for moons) and a Chiappa Rhino 40DS (Stage II trigger, large grips, combat rear sight). I'm also a Kydex hobbyist and I'm hoping to start reloading soon. I came on board here because I'm currently reading "Practical Shooting" and figured there'd be some like-minded folks around. So far, the book has been equal parts fascinating and overwhelming - I think a few re-reads might be in order. Anyhow, hello! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Welcome aboard, Matt. Sounds like you're doing everything right (except shooting USPSA with a revolver???), but you're reading good stuff and planning on reloading - You'll find all the help here you can imagine, and then some ... Good luck, and welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Welcome to the forums! When I need a "book" about USPSA or reloading I come here and soak up all the wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteekay Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Wow, I'm awful at replying. Thanks for the welcome, folks! I'm doing a deep dive into the Reloading forum right now as I'm starting to set up my bench. Hi-Power Jack, do you know what's worse than shooting USPSA with a revolver? Doing it with a 6-shot minor revolver, lol. I'll move up to a 627 eventually but I shoot Limited 6 in ICORE. And I'm not a tycoon of any sort so I can't have all the toys at once.

Hi-Power Jack Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Which reloader did you buy? Loading only .38 Special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteekay Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yup, .38 only. Once I figure it all out I might try to switch to .38 Short Colt for easier reloads. I haven't ordered the press yet but I'm about 90% sure it's going to be the Lee Classic Turret and probably a hand-primer for competition loads. I only shoot two matches a month (about 300 rounds total) so it seems like a good balance of price and speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
