Max Payne

Yes. Especially if you shoot a lot & are loading for multiple shooters. You’ll have to fiddle with it some occassionally, just like with other parts of your press. I’ve used both gens Mr. Bulletfeeder & currently the Dillon on a 650 & current 1050.

Fast Eddie will be shooting at Florida State & at the Southwest Regional. I know you shoot the SWR, & I may have seen you at Florida. Of course, he'll also be a the Ga. State & Tennessee State.

Ophelia Payne & I shot 125's for 2 or 3 years, then switched to 105's around 2013 or 2014. We've shot some 125's a few times since. The 105's make me feel better because they're a little more pointy, & psychologically make me think they should have an advantage in feeding in the rifle. But, I really can't tell the difference.

Max Payne & Ophelia Payne will be in for sure. We just have to get signed up & give you money. Thanks for doing this. I believe it has driven much extra participation in the state matches, as I've have heard several cow-people say this caused them to shoot matches they may have missed otherwise.

Wow! I'm not sure whether to thank you or not. I just spent my Grandson's college money on this.

Lefty Wheeler has retired. Check his website.

Have you altered the length? If so, how long are they?

I have two of the Frankford arsenal vibra tubes. They hang up about 5-8 times while I'm loading 100, & I have to take it apart each time & straighten it out. I've tried everything from holding it at different angles, tapping it on the bench, using silicone spray (don't do this one), whatever I could think of. I even bought the 2nd one thinking maybe it was the one, but the new one does the same thing. This machine is a pain, but it's better than using the pickup tubes. If I knew the Hornady works perfectly, or close to perfectly, I'll spring for the price.

I withdraw my offer.

Faygo, you said above that if anybody had any questions on the Cochlear implants, to PM you. I PM'ed with with some questions. No response. I tried again, & found that I was blocked. Naturally, I'm puzzled.

Obviously, the best advice will come from the known fast guys, like Deuce & Junky on this topic. However, I can share my experience in my own evolution, & I have decreased my stage times significantly over the last year, & that year over the previous. Here are some things I have learned: If I try to shoot fast, I jack a round. If I think more about fast than hitting every single target every single time, I'm going to jack a round. I decide on a cadence, ESPECIALLY for a dump, or 4+ shots on a target that is safe for me, & it isn't as fast as I think I can shoot. I practice, usually 300-400 rounds/week. I'm fortunate to have a setup in my backyard with a mountain as my berm. If I have a misfire, I give the mainspring a quarter turn tighter. If it's a cold day (like 35 degrees or colder), & I'm at a shoot where I don't get a warmup stage to test everything, I'll tighten the mainspring a quarter-turn anyway, cause I know it's more likely to misfire on a cold morning. Even if it's a dump, focus on every single shot hitting the target. If you do that, & if you practice at least once/week, the speed will take care of itself. It's a lot like golf, as others have pointed out before. If you try to hit the ball hard, it doesn't work out. If you swing smoothly & correctly, you'll be amazed at how far the ball goes & how well things turn out. That's the only thing I learned at golf, because even though I played regularly & faithfully once a year, I never got any better.

Hope you're not offended by an offer: If you would consider $200, plus the $25 shipping, I'll take the small primer one.

I Kudos, Slim! That was a good one!

2 weeks between matches. I'm getting withdrawal shakes. Guess I'll take the duality out & pull some people out of ditches. That's always fun!

Who made these grips?

Faygo, read your pm from me.

Snap caps with microfiber cloth stretched over them & let sit for about 5 days. Did this twice for my wife's new rig, & it's now perfect!

I have two SKB's , but I don't know what the "bump stop modification" is. What is it,, please?

Snakebite, I always felt I had to have the fastest bike available. I won't go thru the list of approximately 60 bikes I've owned since I was 14YO (I'm 69). When I was young, I pretty much rode it like I stole it every time I was on one. i was in continual race mode. My son & I got our road race licenses when I was 58Yo, & we started doing track days in preparation to race WERA. Had a big crash at Nashville Superspeedway & got a helicopter ride to the Vanderbilt Trauma center. That knocked the Fast out of me. I've since owned a 2007 Screamin Eagle Ultra & a 2007 Kawasaki Concours, both extremely fast bikes. I realized that I never rode them fast anymore. I rarely got the Concours over 3500RPM, with a redline around 9000. What I know now is, I don't have to have the fastest, because I don't ride like that anymore. The articles, including road tests on the new Bonneville T120 are incredible. I think that's the bike for me, but I have equal respect for the T100, especially this gorgeous Red & Black one on this thread. P.S. the Nortons were always a lot faster than the Triumphs, but the Triumphs handled better.

You probably got what you need by now. I bought a 66 new 3 years ago, & the loading gate broke almost immediately. Somebody in the know told me what to buy from Uberti, & I just looked up my notes from the time. I got one from Uberti & installed it. Mine took the large screw. 110313 – Ordered aftermarket Loading Gate. BA:220127/lgAftermarket Loading Gate (1866) Large Diam Screw Hole .115" OD (2005+) Quantity : 1 Price : US$35.00. Got it from VTI Gunparts. I had a lot of problems with that rifle, that could be attributed to who initially did the slick up & SS work. However, that same person built a 73 for me that was bulletproof. Once I got the 66 running perfectly & knew it would perform for a new owner, I sold it. That cowboy emailed me after about a year just to tell me how much he loved it. Anyway, I'm strictly a 73 man now. 18" Cimmaron Brush Popper in 38/357 from Marshall Harland Wolfe. It works every time so I can focus on my shooting without worrying about the equipment.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Had a 1957 Triumph Cub, a 1960 650 TR6, 1967 650 Bonneville, 1969 Norton 750 Roadster, 1975 Norton 850 Hi-Rider, & later another 1975 Norton 850 Hi-Rider. I'm currently trying to resist buying a 2017 Bonneville T120 that I was drooling over in the showroom yesterday. I thought I was thru riding when I sold my 2007 Screamin' Eagle Ultra & my 2009 Concours about 6 months ago, but I'm starting to get withdrawal shakes.

+1 on Hoss. Red Dot, 7/8 oz Claybuster, 7 1/2 shot, or 8 if I can't get the 7 1/2. Remington STS or Winchester. STS will last 4 times longer. I'll PM a recipe for 890fps, which handle all knock-downs for the Missus & me at the 4 clubs we shoot with, When we shoot States, Regionals, EOT, we use factory Winchester Featherlights, just to be absolutely sure I didn't booger one up in the batch.

I think Boggus Deal & Ringer had the right idea. Everyone should run a BB, especially in my class.

I have a Big Boy in 45 Colt in my safe that I bought brand new. I started CAS 4 years ago last month & I used the Henry in my first match. It jammed on the 2nd stage with 8 rounds in the pipe. Everyone clued me in that the Big Boy is a beautiful deer rifle, but can't take CAS speeds. I bought a 73, had it slicked up, & never looked back. I still like to look at the Big Boy, but I haven't shot it since.

Please buy some in 11EE & sell them to me at that same price. Thanks in advance!
