If a knockdown target has not been reset, who was the idiot who hit the buzzer without checking the targets?? If the shooter is started without a reset, restart. If a target falls during the stage, shoot where it were and keep trucking. If a Pop Up fails to launch, shoot where it were just like A fallen target. There is however, some common sense required. If it happens the shooter gets through the Rifle and The Pistols and THEN discovers the shotgun poppers weren't reset, reshooting the stage is an option. Also, shooting "where they waz" is also reasonable. Not enough time difference to spit at.

Hy Ya JB!! What a Bummer. Murphy was lurking on yer block fer sure. I like Pioneer Gunworks Firing Pin and Cowboys and Indian Store. I don't know what C&I is up these days though and I have zero experience with Boogie's Firing Pin. I will however say ALL the goodies I have sen from Boogie have been top notch and super well made. I also maintain a nice selection of Firing Pins in my boxes of goodies.

H.K., That random thought just had to be some PAINFUL 🙃

Sheriff Dill. Since you acquired your press second hand, I firmly suggest you call Dillon and arrange to have them go through your machine. It'll run you about a Hundred and a quarter +/- and well worth the time. I had them rebuild my very tired and abused 650 and it now runs like a brand new machine. If the previous owner was running 38/357 without a conversion, you're going to have all sort of Fitz trying run the opposite primers. As mentioned above, call Dillon. Talk to them. Dillon has the customer support bar none.

PLUS ONE for Gateway Kid. I run two Dillon 650s. One is set up for small primers and the other for large primers and I have 6 different tool heads. Each tool head has a Powder Check for that caliber. The "Annoying" chirp of the Dillon is to audibly alert you if you have a "lite" or empty case and if you have an over charge. I have never had the Powder Check get "out of adjustment" nor the powder measures. This is after several hundred thousand of rounds loaded.

Initially I thought the OP was trying to score some APP POWDER 🤣

During "Linebacker" it was rumored Guam rocked back and fourth every time a B-52 took off 🤪

Well, both of them are built hell for stout. There are, however more parts available for the Cimarron. The Rossi has been out of production for a long long time. I'd personally favor the Cimarron. The Cimarron is much more "Classic" looking shotgun. However, my current batch of Hammer Doubles are: A Pedersoli, and TWO Pietta.

Erasmus, Hope you didn't load a pile of 'em. Yule be swabbing the bore every shot (don't ask how I know this FACT😜)

YES!! APP does make its own lube. The "lube" is the residue left in the bore. It is not the same kind of lube as most know it, but it does coat the bore for the next shot. Every firing removes the previous film so you really only have very light fouling. This is NOT however true with shotguns. The residue does build up but not enough to affect performance and is VERY easy to clean after a match.

OK Dee, Yep. Colt will work as well. I be thinking the difference in cost though. Uberti Base Pin will be a mite less expensive. Last time I sourced them, VTI Gunparts was out of stock. You can also check with Cimarron or Taylors. Just a bit of change over 20 bucks each. The OEM Pietta base pins SUCK!!

OK Dee, As soon as you can, source up a pair of Uberti, Non-Safety, single groove Cylinder Base Pins, R&R the OEM Pietta Base Pins.

BLACKWATER Look-Up "SPADS with a LOAD" on YouTube. Absolutely great Music Video.

Sorry Rye. I'll be at Wampum PA. Wheeeeeeeeee!! Hope you have a great match. See ya at Tusco in June??

PLUS ONE for WIDDER!!! You Betcha!! The simple solution is to have screw-in chokes if you want the gun to be dual purpose. Just source Pairs of the most effective chokes.

Looks like there may be a couple "sprinkles." I'm going anyway. Taking my Rubber Ducky with me.

"Practice??" What is this "Practice" of which you speak. I'm personally going to practice tomorrow. Six fun Stages of it.

Before you spend any real money, take the springs out and add perhaps two flat washers under the springs. See whatcha get. PS: Forgot to mention, use flat washers the same outside diameter as the springs or real close to it.

I'm no help at all to the OP. I used an old fashioned Beam Scale for 50 years. Works a treat even when the power goes out. Plus, since I load APP, decimal point accuracy is NOT REQUIRED. Not at all. YMMV

Rubber Babies have Buggies with Bumpers, can travel. Wire Baby in San Fernando 🤠

I'm no help for the OP. I just like to mix and match. I have Black belts, and Black holsters and Brown holsters, all blocked for different guns. When my sister was visiting us in Colorado, she bought me a big dollar custom knife at "The Fort" restaurant. I had a custom sheath made for it when my rig was brown. I lost her this spring so now that knife goes on my rig ALL the time.

PLUS ONE for Kid Rich. It really doesn't matter.

As others have politely mentioned . . don't even think about using it for CAS. Extremely dangerous.

I realize this ain't 'zactly whatcher looking for, but I just use one of my fired, or even live Magtech ALL BRASS 12Ga hulls. Works a treat. Since I shoot All Brass anyway, doesn't cost me anything.

Well Dagy Nabits anyway Lone Rider!! We'll be thinkin 'boutcha you betcha. Get better sooner!! Sacrifice an unruly local child to the Goddess of Weather for me. Mine didn't work last time 🤪
