    Anyone used the RMR 135gr 9mm Matchwinners?

    That’s the premise. My brief foray into the 135 blues didn’t bear this out, at least for me. I used the recoilometer on the Mantis X and also tried some in practice and a match. I’m still at the point where reducing splits a few hundredths isn’t as significant as garnering more As or reducing...

    Anyone used the RMR 135gr 9mm Matchwinners?

    Following. Thanks for reminding me I have 3K of these and still haven’t developed a load for them yet. There was a trend that theorized 135 was the sweet spot for 9mm and I wanted to see if it applied to me. I have loaded a Blues 135 TC, .356, 1.120”, 3.40gr Sport Pistol, 132 PF : 3.60gr Sport...

    USPSA fixed time stage - setting the time

    Since a fixed time stage isn’t scored as HF you probably won’t see many regular stages with a par time. Standards and speed shoots can use fixed time. I just like mixing up stages a bit and letting the competitors see things they don’t normally do. Speed is important on any stage but when...

    USPSA fixed time stage - setting the time

    I was planning to test it in my backyard, and I know where I place relative to the others. But of course that’s my plan and my shooting. I know. My issue with our L1 matches is they tend to be hoser stages, but they do typically have movement. That’s a neat moving port idea.

    USPSA fixed time stage - setting the time

    Are there any USPSA stage builders out there who have crafted a fixed time stage and have a good way of setting the time? I’m MD for a June match and have a stage in mind, and want to set the time so a GM might complete it, but a D class won’t be too upset.

    What's your favorite powder for 30-06?

    I started with IMR 4895 for most bullet weights because I thought that’s what the military used to use. It’s interesting to read all the varied powders in use. I’ve tried 8208 for 125s but will try some of the others for the heavier bullets. Nosler publishes load data and tags “most accurate”...

    RCBS Custom Seating Plug

    I’ve got to ask… how are they “more than that”? I’ve considered getting one as well.

    Advice from a professional. -Lube your pistol cases.

    Just to be clear, so do I! Especially when I bought the darn carbide dies to be able to loose the lube. I definitely did not want to hand lube each case like I do with rifle cases, so I went the One Shot route. I use a cardboard box that I dump 100-200 cases in, and just give it a 1-2 second...

    Advice from a professional. -Lube your pistol cases.

    @longdayjake , when you start your apparel line, this has gotta be on a hoodie. I’d wear it on a sponsored competition shirt… I‘ve read a few posts where they don’t lube and that’s ok, that’s what pistol carbide dies tout, but I’m 99% sure they don’t wet tumble without wash and wax. Last...

    What's up with the Lewiston brass?

    Or you may be crimping too much? My Speer Lawman ammo is nickel plated - just curious if yours is? Try checking for setback before and after crimping.

    New .40 S&W loader. (I think I'm prepared)

    I reload a lot of range brass and in .40, mostly nickel plated since the LEs used to shoot it and leave it on the ground. I‘ve used older RCBS sizers and newer Dillon, use a double alpha M style expander and haven’t had any split case issues. At least yet. The recent thread on “how to...

    Making 45acp Cases from Starline 45 Win Mag

    Fun projects can lead to invention. If I were to embark on this adventure, I’d put my woodworking tools to work first. A fine tooth bandsaw blade would make short work of cutting the bulk of the length, then using a case trimmer to do the rest. I’d make a jig to hold the case relatively...

    Anyone use a radar based chrono near the ground?

    Just FYI: LabRadar responded to an email question on this subject and suggested 12” minimum height above the ground for the unit to be effective. Good to know!

    Measuring Primer Seating Depth

    That’s a nice looking tool. I heard he who dies with the most tools, wins. Here’s another one/company that likes to catch your eye: https://www.woodpeck.com/ott-angle-depth-gauge.html

    Primers Damaged When Breaking Down Cartridges Using Hammer

    You should probably patent that new bullet design. I’ll bet if you get really good you could make it look like screw thread. Just make sure you choose LH or RH depending on the barrel twist. It’ll do wonders in gelatin.

    Hornady Head Space Comparater

    If you’re happy with your current reloads, you don’t need one. I was comfortably numb for a long time until I purchased one.

    Nickel plated brass question

    You don’t need lube with pistol, at least straight wall, carbide dies even with nickel plated brass. Having said that, a spritz of Hornady one shot won’t hurt and is painless. No screams needed. I’ve found that brass spritzed with one shot is very easy to resized, but nickel is even easier!
