Hey Deuce - Match went really well. Didn't need a sundial or hourglass to time my runs. Had a complete meltdown in stage two. I had good hits though. Overall the the wheelgunners had a great match. Three field courses and two classifiers. I'll have to get with the MD about the next match...
My lead load makes major in a Para 16-40 LTD.
180g lead
6.0 Power Pistol (As low as 5.5g has made 168PF)
1.130 +- .005 OAL
172+ PF
Snappy. Smokey too depending on the bullet lube.
I've thought about moly bullets as they are not much more than lead and should be a little cleaner.
I've...
+1 to the LNL AP. I've had a Pro 1000. Sold it to some guy in Canada. It was the priming system and the spent primer disposal. It was a struggle to reload more than 200 rounds. A friend has one and makes really good ammo with it. He likes to tinker with stuff though. My other press is a...
My Ruger MKll is really nice. The 22/45 lll I have is not as nice. Trigger is not the best. My MKll trigger is crisp and has little take up right out of the box. I bought it about 22 years ago. Only work on this pistol was to change the grip panels to a Houge thumbrest style. Other than...

Newbomb and Mike -
Each stage is shot three times. We'll help you out. There is always someone that will reload mags. I put my extra mags in my pocket. No mag carrier needed.
Most people who shoot two pistols will have one from a holster (centerfire) and a rimfire shot from the low...

Hey Gals and Guys Welcome back to NPCCC Steel Challenge!!!!
It’s that time again to come out to NPCCC and satisfy that trigger finger after a long...
This problem was one of the top 3 reasons why I replaced mine with the classic turret press. Primer drops thru the ram and a plastic tube right into my trashcan. I did have an arrangement similar to sgreen. Only his is much nicer.
PP OAL is all over the place. Most manuals I've seen do list 1.125. I use 1.130 for my Para 16-40. I've tried longer and 1.125. This OAL feeds the best for me. I adjusted the powder to meet USPSA Major PF. I wanted the most reliable feeding and adjust the powder to match without...
Rain stopped around 0800 CST. Nice weather after that. Pulled the bags off the targets, replaced a few, and had a really good Classifier Match. It was a busy day but well worth it.
