      Looking to get into IDPA

      Atlanta Conservation Club shoots IDPA on the first Saturday of the month. It will be on Practiscore and you must sign up that way. They don't allow walk-ons. The match usually has a big turnout and is great fun.

      Let's talk about chrono stats for a moment

      I always truncate the high and low velocities. This leads to more consistent data and takes out the "quirks" of the chronograph. My first shot seems to always be an outlier in the data for some unknown reason.

      Blue Gate Theatre in Shipshewana, IN

      I was at the Blue Gate Theater Sat. Sept. 30 and can confirm that there are no metal detectors. Only attendants checking tickets and/or bags. Carried with no issues.

      Chronograph

      I have found a chronograph to be an essential tool for load development. I use a Competition Electronics ProChrono. It is a good lower cost option and has Bluetooth capability. There is also the Labradar unit, but it is around $600 or so. Many users are happy with the Labradar. I'm happy...

      Gun belt for EDC concealed carry?

      I have two Beltman leather belts. https://www.thebeltman.net/collections/gunbelts They are all leather and I have no issue supporting a full size 1911 or full size M&P will spare magazines and phone all day long. My brother tried mine and liked it so much he instantly knew it was the belt for...

      Who makes a chronograph you recommend?

      Another vote for the ProChrono. It works well for me.

      Sharpener options less than $200

      I have the WorkSharp Precision Adjust and have used it to sharpen all sizes of knives, including small kitchen knives such as paring knives. It makes sharpening pretty easy. I have had a good experience with it.

      Frustrated Garand owner

      I would give it a good whack with a soft faced hammer or use a wooden block to protect the cylinder. It will come off. It probably is locked on there by carbon residue.

      Frustrated Garand owner

      After you took off the gas cylinder lock screw, did you remove the gas cylinder lock? It must also be removed to get the gas cylinder to slide on the splines.

      Ruger GP100. Rattle

      You will hear some rattle from the transfer bar and you will also hear some rattle from the ejector rod. The ejector rod sits somewhat loose in the crane. It is normal.

      Reddot dot size?

      I started with a 3 MOA Venom on my Mark IV 22/45 for rimfire falling steel. I have switched it to a 6 MOA Venom. It is easier to acquire and I don't see a noticeable difference in accuracy. It really depends on your end use, but my 53 yr. old eyes like the 6 MOA dot much better.

      2022 Legislative Session Thread

      Called and got a nice staff lady. She asked my city and said she would pass the message along. She acted like she may have gotten a call or two before mine.....

      Whats the stupidest thing you've heard at gun store/range?

      I once heard an explanation of hollow point bullet terminal ballistics from an NRA Certified Instructor. It went like this- When you fire the round, the spinning of the bullet causes the petals in the jacket to open. When it hits the target, the spinning petals act like razor blades and cut a...

      Muncie Area FFL

      There are two gun shops in Winchester (20 min. east of Muncie) that have been good to deal with. Apex Shooters Supply and Trigger Outdoor Sports. I've had good experiences at both.

      Springfield Armory Ronin.....

      I have the full size Ronin and the Commander size, both in 45 ACP. They have quickly become my favorite carry guns.

      Primer pocket swaging

      I use a full length sizing die to size and decap, then swage on the priming stroke. I rotate the shellplate to the trim die and trim it. When the brass comes off the press, it is fully processed. The 550 only has room on the toolhead for the sizing die and the trim die, but it works pretty...

      Primer pocket swaging

      Another vote for Swage-It. I use one on a 550B, along with my trimmer. I can process military brass progressively. Works great. I used to use a Super Swage 600, but found it took too much time to change between case brands, etc. The Swage-it is much faster.

      You will really like that chronograph. I am impressed with mine.

      Primer pocket swagger.

      I started with a Dillon Super Swage 600, but have moved to a Swage-It unit mounted on a Dillon 550. It makes quick work of crimps and I can completely process brass progressively on the press.
