Chapo Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hello all, I was just driving and thinking what would it be like if there was some sort of local match, custom made, were reloading/ hand loading was incorporated with the shooting. For example, competitors would bring an abbreviated and travel single stage with their components and make their own rounds before shooting. Off course, parameters would be set as to how many rounds would be needed, type of powder etc. Once those parameters are set, individuals or teams would have to make the rounds, be checked by official with case gauge and shoot them in an allowed time. Points would be allocated for reloading teams who finished with the most accurate rounds and, off course, shooting accuracy. I know this sounds crazy, but would be interested in knowing your thoughts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfinney Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I don’t like reloading OFF the clock, not sure why I’d enjoy it ON or as part of a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete627 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Require a Lee loader (w/ the hammer) ... Loader and componets must be carried on the belt. Brass must be pickups from the stage!! Competitors must bring their own lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racinready300ex Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I've seen this done at Benchrest matches. I think it's more common in the short range stuff that I didn't do much of. It was never on the clock, the shooters who did it came with a trailer with stuff setup inside and would take the same brass they just shot back to the trailer and load it making adjustments as they saw fit based on the previous round.

Chapo Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Racinready300ex, that sounds interesting. Will have to swing by one of those matches and see how it’s done. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I remember a stage at an L1 match many, many years ago. All the ammunition had to be loose rounds in a tin. At the start signal load the magazine(s) and start shooting. If the confidence/skill level was high then just loading enough to complete the course of fire saved a lot of time. But if more rounds were need then it was necessary to run back to the table to grab some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was early in my career so I didn't know any better, but luckily someone else did and explained the rules to them so we didn't have to do that crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some MD's thought it made a gun control point of some sort, but all it did was piss off the shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HesedTech Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 If someone wants to do this the rifle folks have something called "Bench rest" match where they all get together and reload. Saw about 2 dozen doing this today (Sunday) in the berm next to us (last day of our match). To me it's just more stuff to haul to the match sight/range. USPSA was never designed for this idea.
