3D design and printing. Numerous things for reloading including a sieve for cleaning media and a holder for the primer counter on the reloader
Microprocessors (Arduino) for the primer round counter and monitor.
Now I don't do these things ON the reloading bench, but their end products are...
10 at least for most pistols. One reasoning being is I load them all up before I go to practice and for local tier one matches. Why waste time at the range loading magazines? I may be short 1 or 2 of my goal for a couple of guns. Interesting about same magazine for several guns. I've got...
While not common those are sights for silhouette competition. the four settings would be for 50, 100, 150, 200 meters if you were shooting big bore. Or shorter distances if shooting the NRA or Field Pistol regimine. In my day we counted clicks.
Got around to redoing my media sieve. This is designed mainly for 9mm. The ribs on the sides and bottom help tumble the cases and spill the media out as you rotate it. It could be screwed to the top of the vibrator in place of the lid and then held upside down with the motor on, but I just...
Two fairly ho-hum things but it's combing 3D printing hobby with reloading.
First is a very specific funnel that has both an exterior skirt and an interior tube. This keep the funnel firmly in place so it doesn't tump over Specifically did this for .458SCOM
The second is a sieve. Never...
For overnight or longer trips I pack a second gun. Sometimes an AR in a Yoga pad bag, or a ,357 revolver in a laptop bag. Of course extra ammo all around.
Federal primers and ammo are a revolver shooters friend. Try a box. I vote for the extended firing pin and stock main spring as my first choice on a used gun.
I've watched the Xero threads but I didn't realize you HAD to use the APP. I've got enough apps and enough things to manage. I was getting the itch to put a Xero on my wish list, but I'll stick with my LabRadar for the time being. Just put in an SD card and go. Pull it out when I get home.
My 929 sees mostly very low power loads for Steel Challenge or loads around 130Power Factor for USPSA. I keep the inside of the cylinder VERY clean to insure silky smooth extraction/ejection. No problems. This is an ideal application for Ti.

Hmm. Being ever the devil's advocate, if I wanted to compile a number under what authority could I do so? Ahh. Seems there's no end to what the Census Bureau can ask. Probably create all sorts of pushback but if I were a gun contoller controlling type that might be where I'd start.
CMP has taken over the NRA Bullseye and Action pistol competitions. Probably rifle ones as well, but I’m not plugged in on that side. Wonder if their BOD might consider training as well.
I had three rounds in a 1,000 round lot that were squibs. Major manufacturer. Several other issues in the last couple of years with other big name ammo.
To paraphrase S.Morse, what hath Covid wrought.
Sorry, I had to check with the SO, but the observed 0.04 split was with a CED7000. He said he doesn't really pay attention but thinks that's the lowest he's seen on it. Not that it won't do lower, just that that's the echo time in that indoor range.
