Federal. I'll likely buy 20K the next time I see you if you have them. We're gonna shoot Fla St, Ala St, SW Regional, Ga. St., Tn. St., & the SER. Which will you be attending?
And, I was glad when you had them when I needed them.

I just ordered a Gen 2 Mr. Bulletfeeder, so I can part with the Gen 1 that I am currently using. I use it almost everyday, & I can load 100 bullets in less than 3 minutes if I don't run into a split case or need to load bullets, powder or primers.
I'll send you a PM so you can call me. I'd like to also give you a preview of the learning process, etc.

Ophelia Payne & I have been shooting 2.7 grns of TG with 105's & 125's (coated) for 10 years. Meets the power factor & shoots GREAT! These work with knockdowns also, but we like the added security of using 3.2 grns & .158s for those.

Tightening the main spring & contacting the guy is the first action. It would also be worth it to see if the hammer is dragging on one side or the other. Also, you can sometimes get a burr in the bolt where the base of the firing pin lives. A gentle turn with a drill bit with your fingers could help there. No drill though.

Received this email, which appears to be a SCAM attempt. If you know otherwise, let me know.

Deb/Ophelia called the Santa Fe Palms RV Resort to make reservations. They had no record of a $65 rate for Last Stand shooters. Maybe they just haven't gotten the word yet?

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.
