Hello, All.
I shot my first IDPA match last weekend and had a great time. The match was really well run and my squad was an easygoing, helpful group. I'd already had fun at my local club matches (USPSA-like) and one UPSPA shoot--it was nice to find a friendly place at the IDPA match. It's all good.
And there was icing on the cake... my ticket got pulled in a raffle for a Springfield XD. I had the choice of a 9mm or .40 S&W--I chose the .40, and picked it up this morning.
Someone let me shoot their XD at the range over the past number of months, and while I don't recall the caliber, I do remember that I shot it well. I'm looking forward to going to the range tomorrow. I have 100 rounds of Magtech 180gr FMC (jacketed flat nose) and 50 rounds of Winchester 180gr JHP to try. I'll set up the chronograph and try not to shoot it.
I'm thinking about ordering a case of MG 180gr JHP. I have Clay Dot, Unique, Power Pistol, and AA#5 at my disposal. I'll get others if need be.
I've been fishing around the forums for guidance and find a bewildering array of opinions. Is there a trusted soul that would point me in the right direction?
On another note, I bought a Harvey Deprimer, and I love it. I tumble my brass, deprime and sort. I like that the mess of depriming is away from my press.
