This should help clear things up. Doesn't really make sense, as soon as a competitor declares minor, he should be able to load 10. As Shred said major/minor is a scoring issue, not a division issue.

RJH Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 3 hours ago, motosapiens said: that is a completely different topic. Like so completely different that I'm not sure you're seriously making the comparison. It's not really about percent, it's about the likelihood of having to do an unplanned standing reload, or almost as bad, having to shoot super slow and cautious on a steel array because you have no makeup shots. That's why people win area matches shooting ss minor, but people don't win area matches shooting limited minor. There have been so many edits, splinters off the OP, and time in this thread, i honestly can't remember what i was talking about in this particular instance. With the edits, it is hard to know for sure. It probably had to do with you speaking in absolutes and the fact that there are not any absolutes, just generally so's in USPSA, but it all boils down to if a gun is division legal, then is should be allowed as a replacement, and if you have a 40 that is capable of major/minor and don't make major, you should be able load 10, at least there is nothing in the rules forbidding it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically if you have claimed major then load too many rounds, you should be bumped to minor, not open. Not positive if you are saying different though. Shred's post a a few pages back make it more clear. Take a look at it. Loading 9 or 10 in ss doesn't actually break any Division rules, as there are scoring rules in place for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Stevens Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 If you claim major, and have not been bumped to minor, and load more than 8 in your mag you will be moved to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you declare that you are shooting major then you are limited to 8 rounds. If you load 9 then you violated the division rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have 10 in your mag on an unloaded start... And more than 11 (in your first mag, unless you are using a Barney mag) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ming the Merciless Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 So, what happens if you've declared minor, have been loading 10 rounds and then chrono major? Bump to open because you've been loading 10 rounds? Sorry, couldn't resist......Just kidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 7/18/2019 at 9:15 PM, shred said: In IPSC, having 9 in a mag after the start signal when you are shooting Classic at Major PF gets you bumped to Classic at Minor PF, same as if you shoot 7 from a declared Major Revo, you go to Minor Revo. The call is based on the new setup still being compliant for the same Division, as compared to other modifications and mag-count loads that are not same-division compliant. The language of USPSA rule 6.2.5.1 would support this if anyone wanted to try it. Major/Minor's not a division. Actually, I agree with shred here. I understand he's talking ipsc and USPSA, but 6.2.5 .1, is division based, major/minor is scoring based, there is no major/minor division, just major/minor scoring and that's where the difference lies. Loading 11 in production is not the same is loading 10 in single stack. You can never load 11 in production after the start beep under any circumstance, however you can load 10 after the start beep in single stack, but you will be scored minor.

There is no SS major division, only SS division. In SS you can load 8 major/10 minor, so if you screw up and load more than 8 (like in a 40) then you actually haven't broken division rules, because unlike production with 11, there is a place in SS for 9-10 rounds, but you should be scored minor. 6.2.5.1 specifically talks about breaking division rules, putting 9-10 in a SS gun does NOT break any division rules, but it does change the scoring. Obviously all my round counts are talking about in the mag after the buzzer. Also i would have agreed with the bump to open until i looked a little harder at the rules.

If you load more than that, you have broken division rules and go to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you declare major you have declared you will shoot no more than 8 in a mag, I dont see how chrono should change that.
