Absolutely true about safety. It's a hard thing to practice though. After safety, the biggest challenge I see for relatively new people are the number of misses they have. Actually I still have the problem too! :banghead: See how it goes though. You definitely need to get your hits...

I like to shoot guns I can shoot in the various competitions so: Glock 17C (+ non-comped barrel) for GSSF S&W 627 in 38super for ICORE XD9 Tactical or CZ SP01 for USPSA production P7M8 because it's neat

Yep to what imas said. Walmart Win White Box is the cheapest widely available ammo. Of course, it's walmart :scrutiny: I'm an autoloader kinda guy so I can't recommend any revlovers, but look at the Glocks (17 & 19), XD9, and CZ75. There's a couple different grip angles there, plus plastic...

Zoe's mare's leg: (where does that term come from?)

Fracken love Firefly (can't cuss in Chinese so I figured I'd go Battlestar). OMG i'm such a nerd. :uhoh: I read this thread last night and it got me all fired up for the movie, so I started watching the DVDs. Here's a pic of Mal's gun 37 minutes into the first episode. Earlier in the...

Zak nailed it. A lot of IPSC/USPSA shooters shoot both open (38 super/9mm) and limited (40S&W). Small rifle primers are used to prevent primer flow, especially on the 9mm major loads. For me I use them on 40S&W so I don't have to stock another primer. *I* actually didn't see any...

Wow. I gotta say I'm amazed at how many different calibers so many of you load for. I load for handgun cartridges only because I shoot USPSA. Therefore I load because there's really no other way to have ammo to make major in all my guns (that's as cost effective).\ For me it's a simple...

I have a Dillon 550 and 650 both of which I bought used and got very good deals on. I load for pistol competitions so I'm primarily interested in volume. I haven't even seen the LnL and based on what Corland says I might need to look into it.

I voted progressive. I started with a Dillon 550b and after maybe 50 rounds you've pretty much got the hang of it. It also probably depends on what you plan on reloading and how much you plan on shooting. For me I bought my progressive because I started shooting USPSA pistol competitions. I...

hehe, big plastic Target bag for me. :uhoh:

Just wanted to add a couple more: Bullet puller Ammo boxes Optional: chronograph (i don't think it's really optional) corncob or walnut media (to go with your tumbler)

I have kinda bad hearing to begin with. It's particularily hard for me to hear and understand what someone's saying when there's lots of loud noises around. Since I started shooting in local USPSA matches I decided bought the Radians ProAmp e-muffs and used them for a year and a half. I...

I'm most proud of my FAL since I built it myself:

That's really interesting. How old was the boy? I wonder if it was something like is birthday present or something like that.

Wow, I can't believe my post was way back in September. I finally decided to get a Browning Gold Stalker 12ga 28". I haven't picked it up yet but I've already got a bunch of stuff coming from Brownells for it. I decided to go with an auto because of 3-gun type stuff and I figure that to...

That's so cool. Make's me really look forward to taking my 2yo daughter shooting (when she's old enough).

No pins need to be drifted out. See the detailed instructions here: http://www.surplusrifle.com/sks/disassemble/hs.asp

dandean- It doesn't sound like you've seen a USPSA match. Go to www.hosercam.com and you can watch video clips to get the feel of what it's like. In the 6 USPSA matches that I've been too, at least 3 of the 6 stages at each match have been more than 25 rounds. So yes, the higher...

Hey, the www.dillonhelp.com website is an excellent resource! I never knew about that. Thanks for the tip SDC!

If you get a Dillon press, get the Dillon video to go with it. It's only like $5 and it really made a big difference in my anxiety level when I went to reload for the first time. Definitely read some books first, but actually seeing it being done is extremely helpful.
