Would you consider Titgroup to be a slower or faster powder? 2nd question...what would you consider to be a slower powder? I'm loading 9mm.

OK, I knocked the bullet out of the barrel and kept it. What am I looking for as evidence of powder? I'll post a photo tonight.

Had my first squib and am not too happy about it. Here is the back story. I loaded 30 rounds, first setting the primers, then weighing each specific powder measure, and then setting the bullet and crimping. So step one, set primer x 30. Step 2, weigh case, tare scale, load powder, weigh powder throw and record result, set aside (in order). Step 3, seat bullet head and crimp, 1 at a time, in order, and record COAL results, and load into box in specific order. Step 4, (at range) load magazines from round 10 to 1 so that when they are fired during chrono test I can record results 1 to 10 (in order). I'm testing the rounds in 3 guns (10 rounds per gun). Round number 24 squibbed. So what could it have been? Bad primer? Operator error in that I got confused during the process and mixed up one of the steps (very plausible)? By the way, the other rounds performed very well, so that is good news.

Nice event, great squad, lots of laughs. Happy with my results, but my son. Oofah. That poor kid. lol

Lolz. I'll start baking bread now that its colder. The squad needs it's strength!

8:15 sign ups, hammers down a 9?

I'm also bringing pizza rolls Frank. Come back Frank! Fraaaaaaaaank!

We will be there. Loaf of Bacon/Pepper bread is rising as we speak...err...type. Whateve's...see you tomorrow.

Never Jer. Me love you long time. lol

Thanks Frank. I noticed that too. Not sure what we'll do then. Probably shoot at Old Bridge. $20 per gun sucks though.

Shooting at the members match at CJ.

I recently bought a used PX4 with the sandpaper talon grip tape on them. Hated the way it looked in photos and thought I'd remove it. After about 10 minutes of shooting with it I was hooked. Love the stuff...

I have the cannon 24 gun safe as well and am very happy with it. To offer constructive criticsm, I don't like that the door doesn't open all the way and the shelf layout doesn't blow me away. Also, short rifles need some propping up to have them reach the long gun divider. I use a case of 12 ga shot shells and that works find. That said, I'm very happy with it. Quite a value for the money.

I agree. Proved to be a good experiment on cleaning, but I'd pull them and salvage the head and brass.

Might actually be in for this one. Yippie. At the moment the golden child's champion ship game is scheduled for Saturday. Fingers crossed...

Sure...Jer posts photo's and instructions AFTER I buy one. lol It's a great machine and well worth paying him to build you one, or building one yourself. Either way...great machine. I'd wind up cutting a thumb off.

I haven't bought a Christmas present in over 20 years.

Boom!

I went with Dillon and have no regrets, zero in fact. Vinny @ Hunters World (NJGF vendor) has a discount buying program and it terrific to deal with. I think the best advice is to see both in action. I saw a red one and I saw a blue one. I picked blue.

Forgot to set the clocks back and so I'm up an hour earlier than necessary.

Baseball was switched to tomorrow...so me and the boy are in.

Dammit! lol

I just call Max to bring over his little plastic dohicky things. He's always prepared to crush spirits and ruin dreams. lol

I picked three things off the top of my head. We also practice drawing from the holster for speed. We practice drawing and firing for accuracy. We pratice shooting while moving. We practice transitioning from target to target. I set up classifiers to practice on those. El Pres is my favorite. We practice all of those things, including the others that I mentioned originally because while they shouldn't happen in an event, they do. What I can't practice is shooting from a bridge, because I don't own one. What I can't practice is shooting a spinner, because I don't own one. : )

Like I said in my earlier post, no right, no wrong...just different points of view. I practice a lot. Tap rack bang, slide lock reloads, clearing jams...blah blah blah. I never get to shoot from a bridge unless at an event. I never get to shoot at something moving unless at an event. I'm a D shooter, and I'm OK with that. Now, Speed on Steel...that brings out my competative nature.
